    Smart and completely understandable. This is the a defensive tactic for anyone talking to Trump. Make a recording to protect yourself from the liar going to social media telling more lies about you, fostering hate toward you and suing you.

    Ok what is the meaning of the reference?

    Because he has tendencies?

    Lets see if you are actually man enough to explain what your reference was.

    The issue isn't the tendencies, its the hypocrisy. As long as he blows hot air about conservative values and morality, his in the closet pastimes are funny, because they would embarass him.

    If he was out and proud, nobody would give AF (except for the people who voted for him, I guess).

    Similar to people who rail against socialism, and then get 40% of their revenue from the government. Subsidies aren't bad, but decrying socialism while feeding at the public trough is, and it fun to make socialism/communism jokes, even though there is nothing inherently shameful about socialism.

    This reminds me of the time I was at AstroWorld and I was playing that multi-person game with the guns that spray water. And, each person points the gun and sprays a water stream at the designated hole to make your racer on the board move to the finish line. As soon as the game started, my line of water was going right in the hole. Not a drop spilled anywhere and my stream was first in before anyone. I had that thing dead on and dead to rights. My racer had a huge lead and more than enough water made it in the target to win by a landslide but then another racer caught up to me and crossed the finish line before me. He won the big prize...which was an oversized monkey. I got a small banana with eyes for second place. I immediately confronted the worker overseeing the event. I told him how my spray all went in the hole and not a drop missed. And, I was in the lead for at least half the race from the beginning! How could my racer lose the lead? It had to be the water pressure! This guy over here, who happened to be much older than me and should have been in a wheelchair (he was so wobbly on his feet), had a gun with more water pressure and he was missing all over the place...let me tell you! How could I lose to this guy? "If I lose, then I'll leave the country!"...is what I was thinking. The others watching and participating in the event saw it! They all saw it! I was perfect! He was not!

    He had water all over the place...on his shirt...on his pants. Let me tell you...what a mess! They all said I won! I know I won! My aim was perfect and...not a drop spilt! So, I asked the guy if the machines had been tampered with? He said no. I asked him to give me extra water to push my water quota over his...cause I know I won with more than enough water. I just needed 11,780 drops of water! After all, I know I won by a large amount! I said there must have been someone behind his water target messing with the machine...making his rider go faster with less water. After all, I led most of the race! His water seemed to spike at 60 seconds into the 90 second race (see my chart). Someone hidden was spraying water into his target from behind making him go faster. How else could it spike? Someone was spraying water from behind. Let me tell you...this is a great fraud! YUGE! I asked him to check the machine. Were any internal parts changed between when the race ended and him checking the machine? Are you sure? Let me tell you...you could be charged! You and the oversized monkey! I won! I know I won! You know I won! All I'm asking for is 11,780 drops to increase my volume of water over his. You can change this. My water must have fallen on the floor from a leaky machine? Look at how wet it is there. "The Great Flood"...they are calling it! I didn't miss! Where did it come from?

    At the end of the day, I took my banana and went home. But, I won and I know I won! It was stolen from me! I win all the spray gun events at all the carnivals! I have so many stuffed animals and trinkets. Let me tell you! I beat the kids, the teens, the middle aged, and the old aged! I have a whole room overflowing with prizes! They call me a hoarder. I tell them I'm just a winner and to the winner go the spoils! Except, that one time I was cheated! It was rigged! It was stolen! Nobody will listen! This is my twentieth year telling this story. It's not over!

    I've made this point before but what we see out of Trump is what a lot of us who have dealt with youth sports see far too often. A parent, coach or even player loses and flips out at the refs and claims that the referees are unfair and biased towards them.

    I will repeat it again. I don't know how those who are still supporting Trump and especially those in Congress can tell their children to lose gracefully and with dignity.

    One of his sexy pool boys came out and said that was Lindsey's pet name. That he liked being called Lady G. But as we all know there can only be one Lady G:

    It wasn't a pool boy it was a male escort sometimes they can be the same thing.

    physical threats against refs / afficiating are most provalent in youth sports

    If I were to speak in person to bush sr/jr or Obama etc I would be slightly nervous. If I were to speak to Trump I would (obvious for me) be respectful and polite. But I don’t think I would really be nervous at all. I don’t respect the mean one single bit. At this point he doesn’t even seem like a president to me.

    The article posted about graham explained the reference in detail. Though I don't exactly know what you mean by "tendencies", perhaps you could explain what you are referring to?

    I agree. Watch it get ignored. I’ve gotten more cynical over the last 4 years. I long ago lost count of the number of times I thought, “Well, they (Republicans in Congress and important cabinet members) cannot ignore this. Not only was the egregious act by trump, whatever it was, ignored, he was praised for it. That what trump did was not only a lie, but also a criminal abuse of the office he has a grip on mattered not a bit.

    What makes this different is that he was recorded breaking the law multiple times over the course of an hour. One would think that this would finally take him down. I don’t give a damn that he’s out of office in 15 days, he should go down. Now.

    See if it happens.
