Amazing how this entire firestorm arose because Ossoff merely used the lady's name once, in a neutral way. He was insulting Trump, not her.

Also, they are trained to append the words "cancer survivor" to her name at all times. Like, having once been ill is a get-out-of-jail-free card that immunizes you against any criticism for future acts.

The scandal isn’t whether Natalie is in love with Trump. The scandal is that a president with access to nuclear codes needs a devotional scrapbook nurse to print compliments and keep reality from reaching him. For a year she had no security clearance, yet apparently had more access than the truth. Melania may be absent, but delusion has moved into the residence and gets daily briefings. Ossoff is right: nobody cares about their feelings. Sailors are hungry, people are dying, and the White House is demanding privacy for its emotional-support autocrat.

I can't believe nobody has made the biblical connection yet. Right there at the beginning of the book of 1 Kings (1:1-4)

Now King David was old, advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not become warm.

So his servants said to him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young maiden: and let her stand before the king, and be his attendant, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may become warm.

So they sought for a fair maiden throughout all the territory of Yisra᾽el, and found Avishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

And the maiden was very fair, and she attended the king, and ministered to him: but the king had no intimacy with her.

It's not as though they haven't explicitly compared Trump to King David (especially in the "flawed leader" genre) already.

The screen shot of the brother's interview wasn't the greatest resolution, so I had a little trouble deciphering his hat.

That Bud hat doesn't look like it has anything to do with beer.

I’d do Natalie Harp’s brother waaaaaaaay before I’d do Eric.

And Trump? Honey, there ain't enough whiskey in the world…

Ummmm....her brother is hot....look at that bone structure, and he has nice hair too!! Wow...well he got the genetics, she's got the mental instability, I'd feel sorry for her but she dug that hole she's in.

If she'd been willing to transition to the science-based side of life, there are treatments that have been very effective for her issues.

I'm not sure a Russian- connected aide with nothing further investigated about her background up till now isn't also someone who'll know when his fascist and despotic "best friends" decide he's no longer a member of the club. Or becomes a menace to the club now that he's incontinent at both ends. She's in a perfect place to enable that.

Every system is perfectly designed to deliver the results it delivers...

A foreign operative would have been moved into a position that high up in the Trump hierarchy with a little more finesse.

I think she's homegrown batshit.

"Never realized when Russia gave Trump that reacharound to help steal him the 2016 election that they had pulled his dick all the way off."

I definitely come here for the excellent writing.

Shoot those Ossoff quotes directly into my veins please and thank you!

“It’s a Christian devotional relationship,” one Trump aide told Wolff.

Yeah, I'm getting a Trump hired his stalker kinda vibe. I'd be worried how dangerous that is if I cared about his welfare even a little.

If this was a normal, comfortably middle-class family, the kids would be freaking the fuck out and getting Powers of Attorney drawn up so fast they'd leave a Roadrunner-type vapor trail off the attorney's desk.

AIB's avatar

Yes, but Natalie is never going to get a cent of his money.

I guess the new christian ideal is infidelity.

I'm old enough to 'member when Jimmy Carter got reamed for having lust in his heart.

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

The problem was he actually had a heart.

These new guys...

The way the fascist are going crazy over the mention of Natalie is making me think one of two things:

1) The proven rapist (as upheld by the Supreme Court twice!) Trump tried to have sex with her but his ED is so severe he couldn't get it up, which is why they now refer to him as “post-sex.”

2) They are trying to make him into the Virgin King, like Elizabeth I, and that the only thing he wants to fuck is America.

Which, come to thing of it, based on everything he has done, seems truthful.

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

3) They want everyone thinking he's banging the 50-year younger babe. Dr. Oz said Trump has the testosterone levels of a fifty-year-old. The strong, virile leader is rather important to the regime.

Stephen St John's avatar

He's 80. ED is pretty common at that age.

The party who went all in on "Kamala slept her way to the top!" and "Michelle Obama is a maaaaaan" has now discovered feminism. Awww. Aren't they cute.

New theory: yeah, she might be mentally ill. But Harp might also realize that her constant proximity to Trump and ability to feed him info makes her extremely powerful, and if she gets too far away from him his other toadies might try to roll her up in a rug and secret her out of there, then try to distract him from her absence by some shiny keys.

By doing weird shit like riding in a trunk and sleeping in a locker room [shudder], she ensures nobody else has a chance to get in between her and Diaper Don.

Jon Ossoff is ladling out the chum, and Trump and his administration are chugging it down.

Nathalie can still pleasure Trump. Let us remember DJT enjoyed voyeuristic jolts as he walked through the Miss Teen USA dressing rooms. Nathalie is certainly devoted enough to give sidecars, and to give massages with other parts of her body besides her fingers, and (to give digital satisfaction and vibrational satisfaction in other parts of DJT; hope the mods understand) and to whisper sweet nothings in DJTs’ ear.

And we all thought Bill and Monica and the cigar was over the top! To quote Dirty Harry, as he looked through windows with his binoculars, “Damn, you owe it to yourself to live a little.” But I have something Bill and Donnie don’t: the love of a woman that is the love of my life. So take that, you lovelorn horndogs!

Has this now become an issue about how the White House has become a cathouse? God, I sure hope so. Gonna be fun to throw this into the faces of conservatives. I’ve waited 27 years for this, like Jack Guilford in Once Upon A Mattress, and by God, when I say hop, you will hop, o wicked Queen.

We know they’re rattled because Melanoma made a public appearance with Super Diaper Baby today.

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

Did she squint lovingly into his eyes?

Vic's avatar

Yeah, her reading skills are so up there. She's not even trying.

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

Perhaps she wanted extra for a convincing performance, and the White House wouldn't meet her price.

Probably a standard $60,000 appearance, same as downtown.

The bonuses are wired directly into her account.
