Ruth and Mary, regarding attack dogs ….. A while back, I joined a Zoom with Michael Cohen and asked a question: Did you have anything to do with the harassment of the young girl that Trump raped in 1994? I was summarily dismissed in a not-so-pleasant way by Michael and several in the group. The timeline suggested that I was correct. So, possibly, there are still some “dirty deeds” that Mr. Cohen has yet to atone for and that he would like people to forget. Playing the victim is a ploy he learned from his mentor. (Recent reports are that he would like to renew his connection with the Orange One? Doesn’t make sense, but then that whole confabulation is nonsensical. I’m just saying …...

Keep questioning. If more people questioned (everything) instead of assuming they understand, our psyche's would br clearer and morally cleaner.

I've noticed from the very beginning of his tenure that Donald Trump looks like and behaves like Mussolini. Same demeanour, same facial and physical expressions, and same "Dead Eyes."

The very first time I saw Trump on TV, nearly half a century ago, the first thing I noticed was that he had the deadest eyes I’d ever seen. I don’t think I’ve seen any deader since.

Mary, I think it’s so much better when you film your conversations with others, because some of the transcripts don’t make a lot of sense (in some parts). Maybe for some reason you can’t. I am a member of Transcend PAC. I enjoy your conversation.

You two look like sisters.

Has anyone ever wondered if this Natalie Harp, a 35 year old woman with this undying devotion to trump, as well as access to classified material, could be a spy?

Trump is already a foreign asset, they wouldn't need spies.

This was very informative, and now Ms Ben Ghiat has a new subscriber. Thank you.

Such clarity in both of your explanations. This is the saddest period of history after Vietnam for me in my 69 years on earth. Thank you both for being there for those of us who are with you 100%. 💙💙

Mary, one small thing: Could you please stop describing everyone you speak to as, "the amazing so-and-so". It's becoming a cliché. Very few people are actually gifted with the capacity to amaze. Trying more descriptive adjectives would probably be a more sincere compliment to your guests anyway. Just a thought. ❤️

I thought he already had a huge pack of giant canines wearing Florsheims with sharp spurs and cleats?

Except when they go to kick his enemies, their shoes fly off! He insisted he knew what size they were when he ordered "the best shoes in the world" (may not be an exact quote) for everybody. Rubio, especially, looked like a clown in his grossly oversized shoes!

Ajarn Craig's avatar

Pretty sure that was deliberate.

Debra LaPuma's avatar

Most definitely it was!

Excellent discussion. Thank you both for your insights.

The only difference between Donnie Boy and those guys is a snappy aphorism.
