    I've read the story, which has the following elements:
    * Falwells befriend pool boy
    * Falwells appear to have given pool boy the financial means to buy a hostel
    * There are pictures of Mrs. Falwell "in various states of undress."
    * Trump knows about the pictures
    * Falwell endorses Trump

    Here's what I don't get: How are the photos related to the other elements? I may have missed something, but I don't think the story says pool boy is in any of the photos. Nor does the story indicate who took the photos.

    What am I missing?

    Don't forget that there were "very fine people" on both sides of the Central Park Five as well.

    Working the Jews to death while holding them in horrific conditions and feeding them little worked pretty well on the extermination front as well. It just extracted every bit of labor possible before extracting their gold teeth.

    While literally accurate, the phrase is loaded. She should have resisted the urge to use it. At the very least, she should have taken the time to explain how the current situation fits the literal definition of the phrase.

    By all means, be very, VERY gentle when discussing sensitive subjects that Republicans may have to hear.

    I am liking AOC more and more every day. She has balls.

    Michael Cohen. He helped Falwell in his attempt to get the pictures back - but retained possession of at least one. The unproven implication is that Falwell's sudden endorsement of Trump instead of Cruz was related to the pictures.

    Falwell bought an LGBT friendly youth hostel in South Beach for $4.7 million, and loaned the pool boy $1m plus $800k more for renovations to the property. This seems a very odd investment for the head of a hardcore evangelical university (and the torchbearer for the Falwell brand) to make, and the numbers don't make business sense. We're talking about a place that rents communal rooms for $15 during the off season. Add that Falwell isn't a preacher, his background is in real estate, so he of all people would have known that.

    The whole thing smells bad. I doubt that all the details ever get out, but there's a stinky garbage fire under the smoke.

    So now board members are entertaining thoughts that the nazi concentration camps weren’t all that bad in an effort to uphold the words of the woman is not the face of the Democratic Party?

    Trump Suggests Iran Shot Down U.S. Drone By Accident

    “I would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down. Fortunately, it was unarmed. There was no man in it…Would have made a big difference,” Trump said. “I have a feeling: I may be wrong, and I may be right, but I’m right a lot. I have a feeling it was a mistake made by somebody who shouldn’t have been doing what they did. I think they made a mistake. Not just the country made a mistake, but somebody under command of the country made a mistake.”
