Tuesday just wasn’t a great day in TrumpWorld. First, excerpts from the Stormy Daniels book proved to be embarrassing for ‘The Donald.’ Then, Christine Blasey Ford doubled-down to halt the Supreme Court confirmation of Trump-pick Brett Kavanaugh.
Current Events
Following years of repeatedly targeting President Barack Obama, Donald Trump has learned the hard way what it feels like to have a bullseye on his back. Let’s take a look at Donald’s dreary day:

Christine Blasey Ford
After accusing Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her as a teenager, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford raised the political stakes and placed Republicans firmly between a rock and a hard place. In a major twist to Kavanaugh’s confirmation, Ford’s attorneys announced Tuesday that their client would gladly testify in a public hearing — but only IF the FBI would first investigate her allegations.
Although the charges from Christine Blasey Ford are serious and likely very valid, Republicans immediately (and perhaps correctly) recognized a political game of chicken at play. Democrats knew about a letter Christine Blasey Ford wrote to Sen. Dianne Feinstein from back in July, yet held it until now as a “Trump card” (pun intended). However, just as Republicans did in playing politics with President Obama’s Supreme Court selection of Merrick Garland, Democrats have seized a moment to return the favor.
Now, Republicans have a very difficult choice to make: Allow a FBI investigation to commence at Dr. Ford’s request, which would all but kill the Kavanaugh confirmation; or, ignore Dr. Ford’s testimony deal and force the confirmation full speed ahead, which would make the GOP appear all but tone-deaf to sexual assault — which would almost certainly come back to haunt them in the midterm election.
Either way, it looks as if they’re damned if they do, or damned if they don’t!

Stormy Daniels
The new tell-all book from former porn star and Donald Trump mistress Stormy Daniels has leaked — and it is not at all kind or flattering to ‘The Donald.’
In her book, “Full Disclosure,” Ms. Daniels didn’t mince her words and even included salacious details about ‘The Donald’s’ genitalia.
He has a “smaller than average” penis, she wrote. “His penis is distinctive in a certain way, and I sometimes think that’s one of the reasons he initially didn’t tweet at me like he does so many women,” Daniels continued. “He knew I could pick his d**k out of a lineup. He knows he has an unusual penis. It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool.”
Daniels went on to describe the first time she met Trump during a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. She said Trump dispatched bodyguard Keith Schiller to invite her to dinner, however, instead of going to a restaurant they ended up in Trump’s hotel suite.
“Trump came swooping in, wearing black silk pajamas and slippers,” she wrote. “‘What are you doing?'” I yelled. “Go put some f*cking clothes on.”
As he flirted with her throughout the dinner, Daniels said she asked what Mrs. Melania Trump would think of him dining with another woman. “It’s okay,” Trump is said to have replied. “We have separate bedrooms.”
After having sex with ‘The Donald,’ Daniels wrote that to this day, she remains grossed out from ever agreeing to the experience.
“It may have been the least impressive sex I’d ever had, but clearly, he didn’t share that opinion,” Daniels said.
Re: Christine Blasey Ford As I said in my response to a related post yesterday I was already feeling conflicted about the timing of Ms. Ford’s allegations against Kavanaugh. But after wrestling with myself, I resolved to let that concern go given all that’s at stake, and her willingness to publicly testify….in addition to the fact I didn’t think Kavanaugh fit to serve on the highest court in the land anyway. But now THIS: “Ford’s attorneys announced Tuesday that their client would gladly testify in a public hearing — but only IF the FBI would first investigate her allegations.” Say What?! Pray tell on what grounds is she making this request? The incident is supposed to have happened 36 yrs ago. There’s no DNA evidence AND the only person she cites as having witnessed the whole thing DENIES it ever happened. So exactly what is going on? Is Ms. Ford… Read more »
