Yup. Gypped (and gipped) are well known to be racist terms derived from “gypsy,” which is indeed a slur against the Roma. Please be better. Signed, someone of Romani descent.

She explained that she took the low sum because she was also receiving threats while arrangements were being made. Also, her attorney at the time — not Avenatti — was working with Cohen. That’s why she dropped him.

Ha! Real estate? The Trumps make their money in the laundry business.

A big infusion of cash from the Russians.

He’s basically saying - I like Trump because both he and I are tyrannical narcissists and thrive off attention.

Damon Young at the Root summed this up pretty well in his piece on Monday.

Opiod addiction, massive narcissim. Former was confirmed this week by Ebro, latter was confirmed by Kanye himself in a Tweet. All of this is because “[he] couldn’t get anything done with Obama”, i.e. Obama entertained every celebrity but Kanye and called him a jackass on national TV. By the logic of the enemy of my…

I’ve had this discussion with Trump supporters before. Not just Trump supporters but strong man supporters in general (people who also like Putin and that murderous asshole Duterte in the Philippines). I’ve found that more than being very right wing, it’s more of a personality thing. I mean, some of the ones I know…

I still don’t get the “at least he’s honest” argument. I can appreciate wanting to feel like a candidate/politician is honest about their views/feelings, but if what they are honestly saying is horrible, inhumane trash then who cares about their honesty? I just don’t get it.

Good thing fully automatic weapons are actually really hard to get.

How is it that an innocent bystander can disarm an armed active-shooter while police have to dump entire clips worth of bullets into unarmed men, women and kids because of fear? That they arm up and escort a bunch of Nazi asshats around like the fucking military, and arrest counter-protesters who just want the fucking…

And the school shooting in Ocala, Fl, was stopped the other day by a middle-aged teacher who — get this — talked the shooter down.

Middle aged man wiping tears, fried-chicken grease, onto a US flag covered in dubious white stains: “YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, this [redacted] couldn’t have managed to TAKE OUT AN ARMED CITIZEN SOLDIER with no weapon. THAT FUCKIN [redacted] DOESN’T HAVE MAGICAL [redacted] POWERS. He obvious was a plant by GEORGE SOROS to…

I really wish I knew what it would take to even begin to solve the issue of guns in this country. I also hope that the father is charged with the equivalent of illegal distribution of a firearm. His son was barred from having guns and the father gave them back to him. There needs to be some sort of punishment for that.

Stone trained under Roy Cohn, [current occupant of the White House] retained Roy Cohn. Cohn was said to be the most ominous and egregious example of the shady lawyer to have ever walked the earth.

I am thoroughly amused at the reports that Trump doesn’t think Cohen will flip on him, when what he really should worry about is whether he did something Cohen can offer to entice him to flip. It’s like he’s acknowledging his guilt.
But again, like the political hell I’ve been living in for well over year, I wonder…

It’s so weird to me that a person that treats everyone like shit can inspire such loyalty in some people.

Is this a really sarcastic joke?

Can we also talk about the gross lack of journalistic integrity it takes to invite Cohen onto his show to interview him about an ongoing investigation and not disclose his personal relationship to the guy? We may as well call Fox News state-run media I mean for real.
