For those agitators yapping about Stormy Daniels' testimony being too graphic for you, in addition to being victim blamers, you're serious hypocrites as well.

'You remind me of my daughter' is not the best come-on line. thenation.com/article/politi…

It is a breath of fresh air to hear Lawrence O'Donnell & Lisa Rubin talk about the trauma that Stormy Daniels endured during her encounter with Trump. Lisa is spot on.

I saw too many other pundits & news anchors victim blame yesterday & it literally made me sick to…

What Merchan found extraneous is exactly what I found relevant (and riveting); those small details are the kind that make a story credible and compelling and would have stuck in voters’ heads had Cohen not rushed to pay for Stormy’s silence in late October 2016.

But even if it was not graphic, her testimony was vivid. The black and white tile on the floor of the foyer of Trump’s penthouse suite. Her hands shaking as she put her strappy gold heels back on. The Pert Plus, Old Spice, and gold tweezers she saw when snooping around the…

Yes, there was a stray detail that I expect prosecutors and the defense alike wish she hadn’t said. But her description of the sexual encounter itself was brief and largely devoid of details. 2/

I’ve heard a number of people refer to the Stormy Daniels testimony as “graphic,” and as a person who embarrasses easily, that’s not how I experienced it. 1/

These are the stakes. Don’t be fooled.

One detail from Stormy Daniels testimony that struck a chord with me, and unlike with Trump, it wasn't A minor:

Stormy kept in touch with Trump through his bodyguard. He would literally use his bodyguards phone to call her.

One of the reasons Mueller was probably unable to…

Reminder as Stormy Daniels testifies today: The hush payment to her, coming as it did when Trump's campaign was on the ropes because of the Access Hollywood bombshell, likely changed the course of American history publicnotice.co/p/stormy-danie…

Stormy Daniels' account of sex with trump:

- It was missionary.
- It was unprotected.
- It was very brief.

And he expressed ZERO interest in keeping it from his wife.

HOFFINGER: “Did he express any concern at that point about his wife finding out?”
DANIELS: “No”

And THAT is…

Conversation shifted to maybe having Daniels on the Apprentice, said she reminded him of his daughter.
Daniels said NBC would never allow it and pitched her on it... said Trump said he could tip her off to the challenges.
Trump now whispering with one of his attorneys.

Daniels says she grew weary of the conversation... said something like...
'Are you always this rude... I should spank you.'

Daniels says Trump let her spank him on the butt briefly... and they moved on and continued talking.

👀While discussing his wife Melania... Daniels:
'He said don't worry about that, we don't even sleep in the same room.'

OMG, Stormy Daniels just said that trump was wearing silk or satin pajamas and all I can see is this 😂😂😂

Good morning to everyone who knew Trump was never going to Barron’s graduation.

This was smart PR work. Now, the press can't spend Prince Harry's whole trip speculating about whether he will visit with his father.

Not only that, but the statement makes clear that Harry was willing to make room in his schedule. They can't blame Meghan for this.

Remember when Trump proudly paraded Bill’s ‘women’ in front of Hillary during the debate? How utterly ironic was it that he was in the throes of paying Stormy Daniels and Karen MacDougal hush money at that very same time for his own affairs, Funny how karma works.

I mean this particular rubicon was crossed in the 90s I’ll admit

Trump's lawyer objects to Stormy Daniels testifying. In response, prosecutor Susan Hoffinger says there will be 'no descriptions of genitalia or anything. ... But it's important to us to illicit that she had sex with him, and how she felt about it.'
