You mean this is the FIRST time you think this kind of stuff went on? Or, are you worried because it's "blatant" now?

What should shock everyone is how far BOTH SIDES will go to hold power/seize POWER. Given how far it's gone now the only logical progression is a flat out coup.

What needs to change is how long those power hungry Congress-critters get to hang on to it. TERM LIMITS and an outright ban on lobby money. Lobbyists are fine and have been around since forever BUT it should be lobbying for or against ideas/proposals not on ENFORCED by how much $$$$$$$$$$$$ they swing like a bat at a candidates head.

I think it's more "Trump is not doing anything that's not been repeatedly done for decades".

Which is disgusting in and of itself. All points you made.

Is there any answer to the mystery of why she keeps getting re-hired after being fired? Even after being fired at the W.H., they were apparently offering her another job.
I too have to admit a begrudging respect for her ability to anticipate and parry the denials from some of the key players in this B-drama.
She definitely knows the play book and weaknesses of her former teammates and seems to have prepared for whatever they try to throw at her.


I will never understand how she, or anyone for that matter, could have so willingly been inducted into this or any other cult, but it’s certainly an instructive journey.

Against Omarosa, Donald Trump is going to lose! One on one, Donald Trump lacks the aptitude and intellect to defuse Omarosa.

Hmmm, one wonders if you would feel the same if she was acting like this regarding Obama or Bill Clinton.

I will say you are correct about the negative vibe she gives off. I hardly know anything about her (never having watched The Apprentice or other things she was in). But some people are universally beloved and others disliked, and she falls into the latter probably because she tries to ingratiate herself into positions she otherwise couldn't achieve.

$15,000 a month is peanuts! Just look how much Donald Trump gave Stormy Daniels, peanuts!

I remember that this happening in the W White House. Someone would quit and then write a book. What is troubling is that we are distracted from what is going on that we can't see.

Don't you have to wonder where she hid the recording device? The recording quality is excellent, so she was well prepared, and evidently well prepared at all times.
That woman is dangerous. Anyone who would hire her deserves her. I didn't always feel that way; I thought she was just another success addict like so many others we have seen. I may have hired her myself if I was looking for someone with energy, intelligence and drive. But that was 'then'. 'Now' everyone knows she is nothing but trouble.
