Trump can't bring himself to call out White nationalists. Has to come out with "all racism".
 
Juiciest bit from Omarosa is that Trump's daughter in law attempted to pay her off by way of a 15k/month sham job in exchange for her signing an NDA to never speak badly about Trump. Claims Spicer is already on the same contract which is why he never speaks badly about Trump.
 
Why is that a big deal though?

Its generally unethical to use intermediary or private funds to pay off government employees. Government activity isn't subject to private NDAs, especially when the purveyor of the NDA is still a government official.

Think he means the audio.
 
Ta, Raoul. Thought I read, though, that RNC funds were used...which is worse, IMO.
 
In a dog eat dog world like the Trump White House, I would not be surprised if they are all busy recording each other.

Agreed. Trump is famous for his NDAs when he was running the Trump Org, but has now gone into some seriously shady territory by creating sham jobs for ex employees in order to buy their silence while they were with the government.

Aren't NDAs for government officials void?
 
You can't share confidential/classified information as a government employee or after you leave government.
But that's not really an NDA? I'm not sure I'm right but I'd guess that's standard practice. Trump is probably getting them to sign NDAs for stuff that is not classified. That's the part I don't understand. I read some time ago that government officials were protected from NDAs. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That's true. They aren't supposed to be signing private NDAs attempting to restrict them from talking about their non-classified government work
 
Omarosa is a con like Trump .And would probably still be there if she was not kicked out.

She probably did so to get as much dirt as she could before she was found out. I mean what does/did she do there? What was she actually qualified for? The hire raised eyebrows globally...

She's probably as qualified as Kushner, Ivanka or any of the other bunch he hired to handle government affairs. At least to her credit, she is not handling something as important as middle east peace.

Yep. Job handouts and favours for mates...
 
I cannot believe that they let anyone waltz into the situation room with their personal phones, with the ability to record things. That's just incredible.

She is an absolutely diabolical person.

But the fact that the media is chasing this up as news right now is pathetic.

Who cares? Trump is racist. He's misogynistic. Find a better angle. I'm sick of these limp dicked media talking heads talking crap rather than getting to the heart of the issue.

The whole American political system is as corrupt as most banana republics. It's being exposed for the money making, back slapping old boys club that it's been for many decades. The only difference now is that the figurehead is too damn stupid to cover it up.

The last 4 terms of Democrats have been a truly awful political parties. That the intervening and post Republican terms are slightly worse is simply not the story.

The whole thing disgusts me.
 
The national security implications here are deeply troubling. This is the kind of stuff that happens when you elect incompetent "leaders" who treat politics as if its a reality tv show and who go on to hire people who should never be working in the WH.

It's easier to concentrate on gossip and silly stories about personalities instead of doing actual tough, probing journalism on departmental corruption and the like. Our news media fails us just as much as our politicians. This is because they are part of the same moneyed interests.

They do both. Just look at the daily litany of Scott Pruitt and Tom Price stories that came out until both got sacked. DeVos, Ross, Zinke, and Carson have also been investigated.

No. It's not.

It's easier to make money off of narrative and arseholery.

It's actually easier to report fact than narrative.

One needs no packaging. One does. The easier thing to do makes less money.

The day that someone learns how to weaponise/monetise fact, is the day that we turn this ship around.

Zero chance of it happening.

Yeah but their angle was mainly to have a go at Trump. Our local news is a fecking joke too. I never see any decent coverage of what's going on in the CA legislature and we have five local stations right here in the State Capital! All they do is visual nonsense about fires and car crashes.
 
People saying they are worried National Security now? Even after someone was allowed to write a fecking book about inside the White House AND after they openly have said they now won't disclose the visitors logs. Fml.

It's been obvious since the very start that this would be a security clusterfeck. Yet another seriously worrying problem caused by Trump and yet another reason why the rest of the world will be taking advantage of the USA as well as laughing at it.
