Hahaha. But really, Haberman indicated that she got her deets from someone who had been “briefed” on the meeting, not someone who was actually there.
So I see it like this: Rudy or Powell or some other person in the room told someone on their staff all the juicy details, and then the staff member called Maggie.
Honestly, I kinda think Donny’s the source, or at least one of them. He can’t shut up, and on some level he understands that he’s not gonna do “Marshall Law” (it’s too much work) but needs to keep the true believers horny for liberal apocalypse.
Haberman’s phone is blowing up, basically. It’s Donny and everyone who isn’t Sidney who’s called her.
If I thought Powell and Giuliani were only meeting with Trump to brief him about their ongoing demented court cases I’d actually be relieved. Trump has denied the martial law thing and since Trump always lies that’s a pretty clear indication it’s being discussed. He’s completely capable of *trying* to burn it all down, however ineptly and unsuccessfully.
And I doubt even Trump is dim-witted enough to admit “I’m planning to overthrow the election and launch a coup.” As we know from Python’s Spanish Inquisition skit, surprise is always an important element when launching an offensive, especially when you’re trying to overthrow a constitutional democracy -- although surprise would be only one element of his weaponry, LOL.
Yet I think it's less that Donnie wants another term to much as he just wants to be rid of the stigma of being a loser. Unlike being bought off by partners, say, to make up for business incompetence (Empire State Building: Upper West Side "Television City"), there's nothing he can do to uno a historic loss other than some sort of Trump coup.
The blowgun dart is inspired business. This Oval Office series has everything. It's like if Thornton Wilder wrote porn (The Skin of Our Sheath?), or if theater of the absurd were genuinely funny. Future scholars will search this opus for hidden meanings, existentialist themes and such like, but we know better. It's journalism with laughs.
On the one hand, this is satire, and an exaggeration, and etc. On the other hand, who says? What ELSE is Trump going to say and do in the Oval, in between meetings with Kushner and Miller and prostitutes, other than wank out the clock? This is Hitler-in-the-bunker, mutatis mutandis. Haberman et al are going to need crowd control professionals and a mainframe to organize all the leakers who will besiege them as of Jan. 21.
I know this is meant to be humorous but, in actuality, doctors and researchers are increasingly discovering physiological and neurological long-term impacts that may suddenly emerge in recovered Covid-19 patients. It's quite conceivable that Trump could feel cold even in a quite warm room. How many "recovered" Covid-19 patients are, in fact, "long haulers" or may have serious side effects that emerge only later.
Maybe it's me but I found that aspiring cock sucking thing incredible but ever so slightly so. I mean, I'm so almost tempted to buy it.
Whatever. At least there were a lot of "Sirs".
Worst “American Pie” sequel imaginable.
ewww
How possible is it that the source of leaks for the last couple meetings with Flynn and Sidney has been Rudy via butt-dialing?

Seconding this. After all he's a relentless publicity hound; why would being President change this?
Hard to imagine nobody thought, "Hey, lets give this guy access to all our secrets" might be a bad idea.

Flynn: I think you should impose martial law.
Trump: Marshall law? You mean like the guy on Gunsmoke? We have a showdown at noon or something?
Flynn: No, martial law. You know, get the military to run election again and have people vote. Maybe at gunpoint if we have to. Get them to the polls!
Trump: Rudy! Sidney! Whatya think? Maybe have the marshall arrest Pelosi and little Adam Schitt, too?

This is so great. The wind in the White House and the bit on the village are a late-Shakespeare breath of bleakness.
Yes, very Leary.

Haha - good one today!

"This is Hitler-in-the-bunker..."
Now you're maybe raising a false hope here, if you know what I mean.
Oh. Yeah. Right you are. Still, a guy can dream.
That’s two of us.
GIULIANI: I've seen worse.
Every invention has a down side -- even mirrors.
Via Atrios I see DJT has dumped Powell. At least she doesn't have to suck his dick anymore! LOL
She got dumped for failing to be loyal to Donnie the way he likes women to be loyal to him I presume?
Indubitably!
My guess is that she got dumped for making Trump the target of two defamation/libel suits. Suits his actual lawyers have told him he cannot win.
