GOOD — As those of you who follow me on Twitter know, we were lucky enough to host a flock of cedar waxwings in our bamboo this morning. These birds have cooler ‘dos and shades than any human being I’ve ever seen:
BAD — The retired Fox News rage-gramps who pretends to be president on TV is golfing at his self-branded club in Florida today. He has spent a quarter of his presidency golfing, which would be a scandal if these were normal times. But I’m grateful for every goddamned second he befouls his own greens because people with cobwebs like this lurking in their noggins don’t have any business serving as clubhouse restroom attendant, much less president of a nuclear-armed state:
Because of the $700 & $716 Billion Dollars gotten to rebuild our Military, many jobs are created and our Military is again rich. Building a great Border Wall, with drugs (poison) and enemy combatants pouring into our Country, is all about National Defense. Build WALL through M!

UGLY — Stormy Daniels’ lawyer tweeted an image of a CD in a safe earlier this week. Daniels will be interviewed on “60 Minutes” tonight. Unless Daniels’ attorney is doing a build-up that will become more infamously lame than Geraldo’s empty Capone safe reveal, we’re going to be exposed to hideous, nausea-inducing images soon. (“Alexa, order ALL the brain bleach!”) If Trump dick pics (or worse) emerge, I pledge to you all not to publish them here.
Open thread!

I am hoping the CBS interview stays on facts and less on salacious details.

I keep seeing promos for the Stormy 60 Minutes interview tonight.
Anderson saying “I’m not sure why you’re doing this interview!”
I’m not sure why they keep running that same quote in the promos. Are they promising he’ll be tough on her?

I just don’t see that dick pix matter at all. Trump’s followers will never leave him and Trump’s GOP won’t leave him even if he is the last man wandering incoherently around the white house in a robe and slippers talking to the mirrors.

I suppose that Trump has some sort of paraphilia, but I really don’t care what it is.

I wish Stormy wasn’t a story. I don’t give a fuck about consensual sex. Now if there is something illegal happening, then sure, spill it. The only person who should be taking notes tonight is Melania to be used in any way she feels fit. Stay, go, kick him in his balls, no matter to me.

@germy: yeah…that was the teaser clip. We’ll see, but says to me CBS will want to treat Daniels like a hostile witness…we’ll see. Well, I won’t see, but I will be checking the play by play on FB.
It may also explain why the lawyer posted the tweet he did saying no matter what is shown on CBS, know that the full interview will be edited for time, but even so, it is not the END of the information they have to come out.
My money say, if CBS wants to be taken even a bit seriously after holding the interveiw all this time…then they better have something dramatic or explosive..or they’ll look more foolish than Daniels or her team…
ETA: @Corner Stone: I don’t think CBS will go for salacious in any way..but they’d better have somethine better than just bullshit
Corner Stone
@TaMara (HFG): I am thinking the interview is meant to tweak Trump into tweeting something defamatory about Stormy.
JMG
My guess is that the Daniels interview will be just a tease — as she wishes. She’ll hint at stuff but won’t spill the beans, the better to move her story into a more personally profitable forum than a free interview on 60 Minutes. For her, that’s free advertising. She’s smart.

@TaMara (HFG): The payoff during the campaign interests me since it’s likely a crime. Trump’s hard core base won’t give a shit, but non-stop sleaze about Trump might be marginally helpful to Democrats in that it underscores what a gross perv Trump is, throws the moral bankruptcy of his congressional enablers into sharper relief and reveals yet again what disgusting hypocrites white evangelicals who defend him are.

Except to the extent that it causes Trump heartburn and indigestion, I don’t care about the Stormy Daniels interview. Maybe it might shift some voters as we go into the midterms, or store up some extra opposition in 2020, but otherwise it’s just more Trumpian circus.
Now this:
Stupidity bordering on incoherence. The military is “rich” again??

@TaMara (HFG): Unfortunately, the Trump campaign are the ones who made it a story, by trying to silence her (and others, apparently) with these NDAs and buyouts. That made it a campaign finance violation, at minimum. Yes, the excruciating details of their personal interactions are superfluous. But the violations are the key.

Betty, Many Years ago when we bought our farm, the old farmhouse had a big Cedar tree just a few yards from the kitchen door. One sunny morning the tree was moving in a hallucinogenic way.
Upon a closer look, a big flock of Cedar Waxwings was stripping the tree of all it’s tiny blue berries. They were moving over the ends of the branches working hard to get more berries than the next bird. It was one of the better birdwatching moments we’ve ever had.
But no pics. Pics or it didn’t happen, right? You got the pics! Great birds, so interesting. Thanks.

Cedar waxwings are a fave of mine, Betty. Where we used to live, there was a giant mulberry bush that reached to the second floor windows. When the berries were ripe, we would get as many as a dozen waxwings at a time, devouring the berries as quickly as they could. Peering carefully through the curtains, we could see them very close. Their feathers are so smooth and beautifully colored, they look like velvet.
I’m glad Stormy is going to speak, because it will apply more publcity and therefore more pressure on the Vainglorious Potato Head. If it in any way pisses him off, I’m all for it. Since the Religious Right has given him a “mulligan” on his checkered libidinous past, I want them to see what they’re passing on.

OTOH, I keep wondering when some Xtianist wingnut will point to “three wives and [uncounted] concubines” as some obscure sign of Lord Dampnut’s Blessed Election.
