It’s a sad day in any country when the dealings of its governance can be fully explained through mockery, satire and cold humor.
This is the current reality of American governance!

With the FBI listening in, Michael Cohen (Ben Stiller) fields calls from Donald Trump (Alec Baldwin), Rudy Giuliani (Kate McKinnon), Melania Trump (Cecily Strong), Ivanka Trump (Scarlett Johansson) and Jared Kushner (Jimmy Fallon) and Stormy Daniels.

It concludes with outside views on Drumpf’s long-standing Russia ties and the ‘so-called’ president’s own explanations.
“Maybe there is no hacking but they always blame Russia and the reason is because they think they’re trying to tarnish me with Russia.
I know about Russia, but I know nothing about the inner workings of Russia. I have no businesses, I have no loans from Russia.”
~Drumpf’s Quote~
Very interesting article.

and it’s a scream
Trump attorney Michael Cohen — until recently best known for stating that a husband can’t rape his own wife — may have jumped to the top of the list when it comes to the what was the worst possible 30 seconds by a spokesperson for the Trump campaign this election season with his “Says who” retort to questions about polls on CNN Wednesday afternoon.
With lawyerly calm and bluntness, Donald Trump’s attorney attempted to pretend that the polls showing the campaign collapsing didn’t exist by swatting away CNN host Brianna Keilar’s questions about the numbers, repeatedly saying,
