'I Found All the Most Deranged Trump Anecdotes From Michael Cohen's Disloyal, So You Don't Have To Read the Cursed Book']
But it is, given Cohens role as Trumps personal fixer for years, also filled with terrible stories about terrible people doing terrible things. As an act of service journalism, I read Disloyal so that you dont have to, and present to you some of its most awful stories. Will these stories, as Cohen seemingly believes, convince Trump supporters not to vote for him? Probably not, but theyll ruin your lunch hour! They definitely ruined mine!
Many, many stories of Trump calling Don Jr. a loser:
Don has the worst fucking judgment of anyone I have ever met, Trump would often tell me, adding that hed been reluctant to bestow his first name on his first-born son. He didnt want to share his name with a loser, if that was what his son turned out to be.
Many, many stories of how cheap Trump is:
Trump offered a lowball salary. I countered and we met in the middle, less money than I was making at my firm. But I was already wealthy, with my taxi medallions and real-estate holdings worth millions, so it wasnt the pay that most interested me. The attraction was the action: the game, the deals, the thrill of the chase.

Trump refers to race theory and diversity training as a sickness
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1302212909808971776?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EtweetSeems like a bit of advanced vocabulary, no disgusting or disgraceful... I wonder who did this for him. Stephen Miller?
Trump bans 'anti-American' diversity training
US President Donald Trump has ordered federal agencies to stop racial sensitivity training, labelling it "divisive, anti-American propaganda".
A memo to government agencies says it has come to his attention that millions of dollars of taxpayers' money have funded such "trainings".
The document says these sessions only foster resentment in the workforce.
Mr Trump has previously said he does not believe systemic racism is a problem in the US.
The memo comes amid the social justice protests that have swept the nation in recent months.
'They push black people out and replace us with BLM signs'
They filmed police brutality - then faced a backlash
Friday's two-page document from Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought is addressed to the heads of federal executive departments and agencies.
"All agencies are directed to begin to identify all contracts or other agency spending related to any training on 'critical race theory,' 'white privilege,' or any other training or propaganda effort that teaches or suggests either (1) that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country or (2) that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil," it says.

It was mentioned by a board member that hashtag Bidensriots is trending
And, strictly anecdotal, experiences I've had recently with potential and previous but wavering Trump voters (according to them) have indicated that the idea that the ass backward narrative that all this trouble happening during Trump administration is somehow Biden's fault, sometimes with Obama tossed in.
It feels like a fig-leaf, people looking desperately for a big leaf to justify voting for Trump. Has anyone run into this attitude in RL or other places online?
Far-Right Threatens Extreme Violence After Ban on Berlin Anti-Lockdown Rally
German far-right activists have vowed to defy a government ban on a huge protest against coronavirus restrictions, after officials moved to prevent the event becoming a stage for COVID-19 deniers and right-wing extremists.
About 20,000 people a motley mix of coronavirus deniers, conspiracy theorists and right-wing extremists were expected to attend Saturdays rally in the German capital, organised by a group called Querdenken (lateral thinking)
But Berlins city government banned the protests Wednesday, citing the risk to public health, as protesters at a previous rally earlier this month had ignored rules requiring them to wear masks and observe social distancing.
The ban has drawn a furious reaction from the protests organisers and would-be attendees from the far-right. The organizer, Stuttgart-based businessman Michael Ballweg, said the ban had confirmed his movements fears that the pandemic would be used as a pretext to restrict basic rights. He said he was challenging the ban in court, and assumed the protest would go ahead as planned.

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to reinstate restrictions on an abortion medication
... that were temporarily suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In July, a federal judge blocked the FDA from enforcing its rule on mifepristone, saying the restrictions were an undue burden and substantial obstacle on womens access to abortion services. The administrations request, if granted, would again prevent women from getting the drug unless they visit a hospital, clinic, or medical office, and acknowledge in writing that they have been advised of the drugs risks.
Has the CDC basically rolled over and showed its belly to the Trump admin?
Given some of its recent moves and advice? It really seems to be kowtowing to the administration's demands and goals more than feels 'guided by objective science". Has Trump managed to slip another institution/organization into his back pocket?
Wasn't the guy Trump pardoned tonight a 'rat'?
I thought Trump hated rats or did he pardon him of that too?
