That is one of the juicy bits. I mean , it didn’t make any grand revelations …but it did verify a lot.
For every Trump supporter, you have never dealt with this:
Trump promised an announcement about Obama’s birth from lawyers who had found the truth.
That announcement never came.
Cohen says no lawyer was ever sent to look for anything. It was all a fabrication.

#TheLastWord Joy fr #TheReidOut was more than ready to tell Lawrence what she thought of the #Cohen interview on #maddow. Something she says a lot now should be picked up by others. Trump believes himself to be a king – and – believes he has no need for Cohen now. He has #Barr.

Michael Cohen says Trump will go to great lengths to avoid criminal charges: "If he loses … he will resign as president, he will allow Mike Pence to take over, and he will then go ahead and have Mike Pence pardon him." #ctl #p2 #maddow pic.twitter.com/e5ReWb4bEs

With Michael Cohen saying trump ran opposition on his republican 2016 opponents in the National Enquirer, does anyone doubt at this point that trump is blackmailing the shit out of Lindsey Graham and it really has to be some horrible fucked up shit#maddow

I’m enjoying Rachel @Maddow’s very creative way of talking about Sean Hannity without actually naming Sean Hannity #ClientNumber3 #maddow #MichaelCohen @MaddowBlog pic.twitter.com/tswJaaJw1z

Michael Cohen to @maddow: "I want to be clear to you and to the viewers and everybody: Nothing happens without Mr. Trump's approval at the Trump Organization. To the same extent, nothing happens without President Trump's approval. He micromanaged everything."

In other news last night:
TO DONALD J. TRUMP
Sir, I and my attorney Robbie Kaplan, are ready! So is every woman who has ever been silenced! So is every American citizen who has been trampled by Bill Barr and the DOJ!
BRING IT!@kaplanrobbie @JoshuaMatz8https://t.co/ebwkZJQTyD

Taxpayer dollars to defend @realDonaldTrump in a civil lawsuit? https://t.co/2VbzDgiJSy
— Stephanie Ruhle (@SRuhle) September 9, 2020
And to give him leverage over @ejeancarroll, who isn't bankrolled by a blank check to be written by the government. This is the civil version of Trump killing the rule of law as he's done on the criminal side by using DOJ to help his friends & punish people he sees as enemies.
— Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) September 9, 2020
Taxpayers should not be funding this defense for alleged conduct occurring in Trump’s personal capacity and before he was president. DOJ is way out of line here. https://t.co/Wze6aKI39b

The Attorney General is not Donald Trump’s personal lawyer. https://t.co/Q7tPWe3Mia

That Barr brings the power of @TheJusticeDept against an alleged rape victim as soon as trump is ordered to turn over DNA shows:
*Barr thinks Trump is a rapist.
* He is fine crushing victims in his pursuit of theocracy
* He is engaging in the worst abuse of power in US history.— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) September 9, 2020
Meanwhile, they had to evacuate Medford Oregon:
BREAKING: Entire downtown and westside of #Medford now under a LEVEL 2 ORDER. #GlendowerFire
Honestly this was hard to type.
Please be careful. Please!— MedfordAlert (@MedfordALERT) September 9, 2020

Bob Woodward has known this for months and kept it secret for his book.
It is very disheartening that Woodward apparently waited for his payday. There are many who are culpable here. We knew trump knew. Even Navarro was quoted early on that the virus was going to be devastating. What does it take? What would it have taken? The whole thing is so maddening. Play the tapes on network news, play them on Fox. Do something, you jerks! Maybe Woodward can be ostracized so this withholding of information ends. So that the likes of Michael Schmidt, Woodward, et al can lose their cachet.
Woodward always does this.
Yup, but still
Trump keeps getting more vile, but so are the Republicans who stand by and enable him.
Trump has to resign. Period. Today.
Queer, gender non-conforming. Goddesses, do they mean lesbian? gay? bisexual? Then say that, damnit! Gender is simply performing sexual stereotypes. It’s personality. A skirt on a man doesn’t make him trans nor does a gold lame purse or fingernail polish. Don’t follow trends — free yourself from gender stereotypes and expand male fashion by wearing your gold lame purse as a man, instead of pretending to be a woman.
Abolish gender!
