    I would pay $3.00 to have it blocked from my view.

    CNBC having an orgasm on the air about a report (their report) that Larry Kudlow is the front runner to replace Gary Cohn.

    I'll just point out that Kudlow is a clown -- in his own way. The choice will be embraced because Kudlow isn't Peter Navarro and he is a purported free trader. That said, once he is in the position, he is not going to get the same kind of respect as Gary Cohn, who knew capital markets well and wasn't a yapping TV clown. Also, even if Kudlow is the choice (and it is not a done deal yet), Peter Navarro is likely not going anywhere, and he'll still be in Trump's ear. And as much as I have seen Kudlow kiss Trump's ass on TV over the last year and a half -- "Mr. Trump this, Mr. Trump that" -- he is not the kind of person who will have the backbone to get in Trump's grill and tell him the protectionist stuff is archaic and dangerous and that Trump is a moron.

    Trump also had the opposite effect among some evangelicals.

    My mother for decades voted along conservative Christian lines. The rise of Trump made her re-examine a lot of things, to the point that she has become outspoken on several issues in new, more liberal directions. It's been kind of fascinating to watch someone in their 70s have this awakening. Any notion that the GOP is the more "Christian" party has, for her, probably been irrevocably broken.

    Really? I don't get it. All it would do is be visual evidence of what we all already know. This is not Bush or Obama, or even Clinton.

    Look into her eyes and tell me with a straight face the lights are on upstairs.

    They dont care what he does. I am sure he’s paid or caused to be paid for abortions. The rumor is he paid for Stormy’s abortion.
    Not even that will change a thing.

    You don't get why a sex tape involving the married President of the United States and a pornstar would get a massive amount of attention? It's kind of like the Ray Rice tape in that even if you knew what he did, seeing it on video created a much more visceral reaction. And, yuck, seeing that load get down with a pornstar would certainly create a visceral reaction - violent retching, most likely.

    This is awesome. So CNBC brought David Stockman on the air to talk about Kudlow. ... he's known him since the 80s at Bear Stearns and brought Kudlow in as his economist at the OMB under the Reagan administration (I don't know if that was before or after Kudlow's cocaine problems).

    Stockman starts out talking about what a great guy Kudlow is, and how it's good that he will not go along with the tariff talk. But then he immediately shifted into saying, "Unfortunately, Larry is the last voice that Trump needs to be listening to, because Larry is an incorrigible cheerleader for the equity markets, and these markets are dangerously overvalued and Trump places all of his value on that. It's the last type of encouragement Trump needs in his ear in this environment."

    It was perfectly struck.

    I'm not sure I agree 100 percent with your police work there, Lou.

    Yep, after Dems everywhere gave Blowjob Billy a bye, I no longer needed to concern myself with the sexual improprieties a president commits in the Oval Office.

    Wait... someone just alerted me that this Rumpty-Trumpty action took place way before TangMane even got sworn in? I really don't care now.

    He was impeached.

    It was in most of the papers.
