I heard from an anonymous source in the White House that Trump crudely propositioned Mrs. Claus porn star Stormy Daniels during a state visit celebrity golf tournament in Nevada to the North Pole in the penthouse room at Harrah’s hotel.

Fixed it for you.
You had some details wrong, but do you see how changing some minor things makes my "fairytale" 100% believable and accurate.

I wonder how Manchin and Cuellar feel about this? They represent a lot of veteran areas, will they want to cooperate with him on legislation?

"Liberal" media asked Clinton to resign because of a blowjob. But not once did they do it for Trump despite all the law-breaking and wickedness of his presidency.
How about now?

Seems like it. But why would Mattis give the quote and allow it to be identified with a description that seems so obvious? Mattis has already been pretty critical of Trump this summer, so why bother to maintain plausible deniability?

My local news just mentioned this story (briefly), but I dont see anything on the major news websites (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc.)
Do you think they are waiting for better/more confirmation?
Maybe tomorrow morning?

Unfortunately, Trump's supporters will dismiss this article as "fake news" and will continue to claim that Democrats are anti-American and hate the military-despite the fact that many Democratic politicians are themselves veterans, with a deep respect for their former comrades and for the ideals that they fought for. Again, this is a man who shouldn't be getting 40% of the popular vote, much less 45%!

Let there be no question now that Trump is the worst President in US history.

I've begun reading this article in more depth, and what Trump said about John McCain is absolutely horrific, and reveals the extent to which he hated him, and for no good reason at all! This makes me understand even further why the McCain family is supporting Joe Biden. God bless McCain's 108-year old mother, as I hope that the family is keeping any news of this from her. You can only imagine the additional pain she'd be going through if she knew the horrific things Trump said about her son.

The day the Access Hollywood tape was released, it seemed like it was certainly the last nail in Trump's coffin. Basically everyone across the political spectrum was highly critical of him, calling on him to drop out ... until people moved on. Over the next few weeks, people got back on the Trump train, and the only people who cared by Election Day were people who were already voting Hillary.

Is this "losers" and "suckers" scandal going to go the same way? Something that will be a huge, catastrophic story for a few days but then no one will care by November 3?

No, it won't be a scandal even for a limited time because by this point we're all desensitized to it. If anything it would be surprising to hear about Trump showing genuine empathy.

Nobody will remember it by this time next week.  So no.  Pussygate didn't even last 2 weeks.  The man can say just about anything, most people are numb to it.

I think we need to wait and see.
The major news websites dont even have the story on their front-page yet.

Military personnel and their families, WILL REMEMBER IT.
I have no doubt in this. Period.

As far as I can tell, nobody's even carrying the story as anything other than a "look what crazy thing he said this time!" thing.

The Access Hollywood tape had a pretty profound effect that was overshadowed by later developments. This story might not have an effect at all.

It's definitely one of the worst things he said, but the GOP doesn't even play at the "distancing themselves from his offensive remarks" game any more.

He’s hated Trump for a very long time. This is nothing new.

No, Donald Trump is incapable of feeling shame, and much of his base seems to want to keep their heads in the sand about how Trump actually hates America and the people who put their lives on the line to keep it great.

Doubt it but it may turn even more of the military against him, and he was already underwater with them.
