GIVE. IT. BREAKING NEWS, they found the video of Donald Trump saying N-words and C-words and also calling his own son a "retard," and it was at Tom Arnold's house the whole time! Arnold appeared Friday on Dori Monson’s KIRO-AM radio program, where he revealed that he has a copy of the infamous recordings made while Trump was the star of NBC’s “The Apprentice” reality TV show ... [...]
The point is, that the "two editors and associate producer" are long gone. Tom is blathering that HE has the tape, then hiding behind the skirts of low-level employees as a reason that he wouldn't release it. Either release it, or stop talking about it. If there's a $5 million confidentiality agreement, he's already broken it, for Pete's sake! Are you actually suggesting that people should be wimpy and fearful because Trump will threaten them? When actually the fate of our country may be at stake? You don't seem to understand what Trump is doing as President, who he's appointing, and what he stands for, and even this instance of suppressing information of potential national importance. It is very close to the actions of a Fascist dictator--that's what Cogswell is talking about. People always ask why more "good Germans" didn't speak out--Cogswell is talking about speaking out.
As much as I would love to see that tape, I've gotta disagree unless I knew for a fact that the three individuals have a benefactor with VERY deep pockets. Trump, Inc. is an entity with enormous resources, in fact I would not be surprised if they have their own in-house law firm. They would depose everyone who worked on the show and they'd be able to narrow the time frame down based on that tape. It wouldn't be too long before the three individuals were ferreted out. Remember, each one of them is on the hook for 5 million, and that's just the penalty for breaking the NDA. (It would take 1,000 readers of Wonkette each kicking in 15K just to pay for the confidentiality fine!)
Tom Arnold didn't sign that NDA, he's got no skin in the game, but he does understand the consequences for the three people that gave him that tape. Real people, real lives that would be utterly ruined by Trump, Inc.
One other thing: there's absolutely no doubt that Trump's attorneys would go after these people if that tape ever goes public. There's also no doubt that Trump will deny ever going after them, he'll hide behind his kids by claiming that Junior or Eric are running the company; that any legal action is being brought by them.
At some point after the inauguration, Trump is going to have to do some actual presidenting, with him having to make enormously dangerous decisions because he got elected to the one position where he can't pass the buck anymore. And no one to counsel him except Steve Bannon, Dick Cheney and Trump's own greedy spawn.
I'll call it now: Democrats take the House in 2018.
Only if we do not let up over the next two years. It's so easy for people to just start accepting the "new normal" as long as their everyday lives aren't affected. I know people are sick of the comparison, but this is from a Huffington Post article this morning, "What Those Who Studied Nazis Can Teach Us About The Strange Reaction To Donald Trump":
"Joachim Fest writes in his memoir Not I, “At first, the countless violations of the law by our new rulers still caused a degree of disquiet. But among the incomprehensible features of those months, my father later recalled, was the fact that soon life went on as if such state crimes were the most natural thing in the world.” Those months would turn to years. Not the thousand years that Hitler had predicted, but enough to cause millions of deaths."
I know it's been said before, but I see already how my co-workers have "no time for politics" but plenty of time for fantasy football and Game of Thrones and Real Housewives of wherever, and their kids' school lives and their bills and the new car they want and on and on... I'm already hearing people on the left say "I'm just so sick of the whole thing, I can't talk about it anymore, it's time to move on."
The left is historically bad at showing up for midterms. We seriously cannot let up. (Oh, and go read that article at Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.c... )
I think we have Corporal Knobs lined up instead
Tom Fucking Arnold? Christ, and I thought he was just acting when he was on "Roseanne".
More like Cable Street

Ugh, you are gross.
-weighing the relative differences in each hand-
...I believe Mr Trump wins.
Alex Jones will be right on that, I'm sure. (And, I'm green, literally green, with envy. Man, I wish I'd thought of that.)
In retrospect I missed a perfect oppertunity to compare deadbeat donnie to Bloody Stupid Johnston.
Of course, this was all before he came to Jesus.

Tom Arnold's sense of humor has been forever altered by:
Roseanne

Yeah, did ivanka kneecap her?
Her applying headology to Putin would be a thing o' beauty

Honestly. Send it to WikiLeaks. Oh, wait, they'd probably sit on it because it isn't about Hillary Clinton.
