    He's also loaded, I'd imagine. Read his Wiki page. ... He's also a race-car driver. Nice life.

    Here's your next drip.



    If the arbitration was agreed on as being between Trump and Stormy per the wording, and Trump did not sign the agreement, how can the arbitration agreement be binding?

    There is more to this doc, I just grabbed the first page. This kind of thing is how he keeps the discussion going. New headlines.

    Dick, does this scan correctly to you?

    This looks like the story of the day, and I don't recall anyone talking about it here. Mueller got a guilty plea from Alex van der Zwaan, a London lawyer, who testified that he was witness to contact with Rick Gates and Konstantin Kilimnik, a longtime associate of Paul Manafort's who was a "retired" member of the GRU, Russian's military intelligence arm. He also reportedly has tapes of phone conversations. Frankly, I'm curious about the circumstances where his GRU past would even come up.

    Forgot to mention this earlier. Can't imagine that this nugget, if true, would surprise anyone ...

    (Later during the debate, she repeated a report that the president was seriously considering vetoing the spending legislation, but after White House chief of staff John Kelly explained that such a veto would mean missing his planned weekend at Mar-a-Lago, Trump said “f--- it!” and signed the bill instead.)

    Really? It's politics and sex ... two of the favourite topics here. It's like SJ Christmas.

    If Stormy's case can get him under oath for discovery there's no telling what Avenatti will come up with. He gets a crack at Trump and Cohen for two hours each. The bonus is that Trump under oath is a 50-50 shot at his perjuring himself.

    I used to think that the women might have a better chance of taking Trump down, but Mueller is doing very well, best I can tell. He might be moving a lot faster than we expected to be possible.

    The sex is by far the least interesting aspect of it.

    And Stormy really isn't playing it up. If anything she's minimizing it, saying that it was quick, perfunctory, and that she was in no way a victim of anything but her own stupidity in going to his room alone.

    And a judge will decide the deposition and trial/arbitration issues on April 30, correct?

    That's a lot of time for President TwitterBomb to stew while this gets batted around every day in the media. :)
