Pecker and Trump chose the wrong billionaire to pull this crap on. I found it amazing to read that Bezos' mistress' (Sanchez) brother is connected to AMI & Pecker, as well as associated with Roger Stone and Carter Page. All the usual suspects. Sounds like a honeypot operation, the sort of thing that Putin's goons are so good at. Then you have a possible Saudi connection with the Prince, loaded with money and desperate for legitimacy (particularly after Khashoggi's murder), possibly giving a nod for data collection and/or providing the $$$ to get the job done, and then muddying the trail.

Boggles the mind. But then, the Trumpster appears to be as deep into the Saudi's pockets as he is with Putin. When the news of Khashoggi's murder broke, Fat Nixon took the Saudi side about 'rogue elements' and made a point to say Khashoggi wasn't even an American. The man was however a legal resident of the US and a highly respected journalist.

Talk about a viper's nest. And how deep the hole???

They were cited as the best investigative/security operation out there.

So yes, things will be found out.

Boggles the mind!

I didn't make it up but read it elsewhere.

Yeah, the Trumpster continues to look awful, as in unhealthy. When it comes to Nixon? For all his flaws, Nixon was not a stupid, ignorant man. As some Republicans have said in the past:

Okay, Nixon was a crook but he was our crook.

Can't really say that about Donald Trump. He's owned by others.

16. well, he grew last year
Fri Feb 8, 2019, 10:34 AM
Feb 2019

he was 6'2" when he ran for president and was 6'3" last year. Late growth spurt, I guess.

However, in looking at some pictures of him next to actual 6'3" people, he's clearly much shorter. I'm guessing he's closer to 6'0" at best

Gavin Newsom is listed at 6'3"
