    It is amazing that millions of evangelical Christians continue to support the lewd, crude, lying, abusive, misogynistic, xenophobic, racist bigot who serves as President of the United States of America.

    National Enquirer owner admits to paying off Playboy model to protect Trump
    CBS News, Dec 12 2018 3:33 PM ET

    The media company that owns the National Enquirer admitted to "working in concert" with the Trump campaign to pay off a woman who said she had an affair with Trump, prosecutors in New York said today. The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York said it had agreed to not prosecute American Media Inc., the Enquirer's parent company, for its involvement in the scheme in exchange for the company's cooperation in the investigation into the payment to Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model. AMI "admitted that its principal purpose in making the payment was to suppress the woman's story so as to prevent it from influencing the election," the office said.

    Trump has threatened to shut down the federal government if he doesn't get $5 billion of taxpayer money for his dumb, isolationist, extremely costly border wall. Here is how a famous author responded:

    Wait a minute, wait! Wasn't...um, Mexico going to pay for Trump's useless, just-tunnel-under-it wall?

    "Just-tunnel-under-it wall." Classic!

    Another bit of inanity from the orange-skinned Tweeter-In-Chief:

    Another very bad terror attack in France. We are going to strengthen our borders even more. Chuck and Nancy must give us the votes to get additional Border Security!
    4:34 AM - Dec 12, 2018

    Hey, Donald, the attack in France was committed by a French-born citizen and had absolutely nothing to do with borders. And all the terrorist attacks (excuding 9/11) that have taken place in the United States have been committed by Americans. None of them was committed by someone who had crossed the Mexico-US border. None. Yet you refuse to abandon your dumb plan for a border wall. Please stop your fear-mongering and your immigrant-hating and start dealing with the problem of domestic terror.

    The orange-skinned parrot keeps squawking that Michael Cohen is a "liar" and "not smart." The orange-skinned parrot keeps insisting that the hush-money payments were not illegal -- but if they were, it's Cohen's fault, not his fault. There is indeed someone who is a "liar" and "not smart." His name is Donald Trump.

    Trump was in the room during hush money discussions with National Enquirer publisher
    A source confirmed to NBC News that Trump was the 'other member of the campaign' present when Michael Cohen and David Pecker agreed to silence women.

    Trump inauguration spending under criminal investigation by federal prosecutors
    Wall Street Journal, Dec 13, 2018 4:27 PM

    Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating whether President Trump's 2017 inaugural committee misspent some of the record $107 million it raised from donations, people familiar with the matter said. The criminal probe by the Manhattan US attorney's office also is examining whether some of the committee's top donors gave money in exchange for access to the incoming Trump administration, policy concessions or to influence official administration positions.

    Donald Trump was lying when he said he didn't know Stormy Daniels. He was lying when he said there were no hush money payments. He was lying when he said Michael Cohen was not his attorney, just someone who had done "a little bit of work" for him. Now he's lying again, insisting the hush money payments were not illegal and were simply a "personal business transaction." But, hey, leave it to Rudy "Truth Isn't Truth" Giulani to find the proverbial silver lining: "Nobody got killed. "

    Katyal earned law degrees from Dartmouth and Yale. He specializes in Constitutional law and has argued 35 cases before the Supreme Court. He served as US Attorney General in 2010-11. He was honored by American Lawyer magazine as Litigator Of The Year in 2016 and 2017. Kaytal knows what he's talking about -- and right now he's talking about indictment.

    Obama DOJ official: Trump can be indicted while in office
    Yahoo News, Dec 14 2018

    Neal Katyal, a former deputy and acting solicitor general under President Obama, argues that President Trump can yet be indicted for campaign finance violations as part of a possible decision to delay his trial until after he leaves office. Katyal told Yahoo News that Trump directing payoffs to two women to silence them during the 2016 campaign was "very serious." He said the payments could be grounds to challenge legal opinions that conclude Presidents cannot be indicted while in office.

    "I think it's a bad Constitutional argument to say, 'I'm the President. I get immunity from prosecution while I'm a sitting President,'" Katyal said. If Trump were reelected in 2020, he wouldn't leave office until after the statute of limitations on the alleged crimes had run out. "That is literally putting the President above the law," Katyal said.

    The prevailing view among legal experts has been that, despite the evidence amassed by federal prosecutors in New York about the payoffs, Trump can't be indicted because of two Justice Department legal opinions — in 1993 and 2000 — concluding that Presidents are immune from prosecution while in office. But Katyal said those opinions may not ultimately prevent an indictment of Trump. He said the opinions "don't necessarily apply to a circumstance in which the actual crime may have involved him obtaining the Presidency in the first place."

    Katyal argued that the Justice Department could proceed with an indictment of Trump but put it on hold until he leaves office. He said Trump would then have "one card to play, the same card Vice President Spiro Agnew played in 1973, which is, 'I'm facing serious jail time. I'll say to prosecutors, 'I'll resign in exchange for no jail time.'"

    When Trump vowed to "drain the swamp," he must have meant to say he would create a swamp. And the exodus continues.

    As I write this, it is 53° in Washington DC and rain is falling -- but the man who sits in the Oval Office is experiencing steadily increasing heat.
