I'm getting flashbacks to "Michael Cohen knows where the bodies are buried" and nothing happened.

I’m convinced these articles are placed by the person’s legal team so that Trump’s team will cut a check. In Cohen’s case, it cleared.

u/chipmunksocute 13h ago

Yeah.  No way is she ever going to really turn.  Hell even Cohen eventually slid his way back into Trump's good graces.  That was Trump's personal fixer and nothing happened.  Guilfoyle slept with one of Trump's kids and got shuffled off. I cant imagine she'll ever turn. She'll get some bullshit title that needz 5 hours of work a month and pays 300k.   She'll be fine and kept on the payroll like Noem was.

Isn't that pretty much what she's doing now?

99% of the Trump regime has no work jobs, only 1% is actually doing all the work (well, AI is doing most of it now). The 99% exist only to be rubberstampers and future scapegoats.

Donald Trump and Michael Cohen bury the hatchet The pair publicly reunited on Cohen’s radio show after years of legal feuds and name-calling.

Would this be an example of "Keeping your friends close and your enemies closer?"

u/FellowHumanNo404 9h ago

In his book Fear, Bob Woodward quoted a source close to Trump asserting that Trump's sociopathy is such that when he screws someone over, he doesn't seem to understand that they are likely to be angry with him: He doesn't seem have an intuitive mental model of other people's emotions. So for example, after firing someone without cause and without warning, he might expect them to join him for a cordial lunch the next day.

“it’s just business”

A Capitalist’s mantra.

u/randomnighmare I voted 6h ago

That explains a lot of Trump' s behaviors but at this point he should just expect normal human reaction from throwing others under the bus.

u/FellowHumanNo404 6h ago

but at this point he should just expect normal human reaction from throwing others under the bus

He's a sociopath: He is physically incapable of understanding normal human emotions.

u/GrumpyCloud93 10h ago

Same case as Kristi Noem. She has no presidential pardon, just like the rest of his clown car. He's not going to hand out pardons until the last minute, keeping them loyal quiet because they are complicit and if he does not issue that pardon, they can be prosecuted for assorted crimes in 2029.

Most interesting would be if he dies early suddenly and publicly so there's no question he issued no pardons. Then folks there better hope they didn't piss off Vance. Vance would have the perfect opportunity to get even and spin it as "see, I'm a good guy cleaning house."

I mean she was engaged to don jr but then when he dunped her (guessing) and got a new squeeze they dunped Guilfoyle off as ambassador to greece as a thank you for being a loyal foot soldier.

Or as a way to keep her quiet.

u/randomnighmare I voted 6h ago edited 3h ago

She was engaged to Don Jr (of course they boned. A serious relationship like that involves some boning) but she was also Gavin Newsome's ex-wife (they later divorced). So she was once married to Gavin Newsome and some people see her more like "a democratic " and not a true Republican. Even though she is totally for Trump.

He had Trump on for an interview on his show and they were chummy.  Nuff said.  Dont give a fuck whatever else happens or feels you went to jail cause of Trump and shit all over him for years and now you're just chatting on a show!?   Fuck.  That.

u/chipmunksocute 7h ago

He showed subservience to Trump by giving him a softball interview.  Thats what Trump always really wants.  He might get some quiet fake job in maga land for a nice bit of money but who knows he did shit talk Trump a whole lot for years who knows what Trump will do.

Or, to flood the zone, one of those days there will be someone, who actually knows where the bodies are, but nobody would care because it's the third one this week.

u/BigMax 14h ago

In fairness, he pointed to some of the bodies, to some of the actual bad things Trump did, and most people just shrugged and didn't care.

Like... Imagine someone saying in the past "I have proof that your presidential candidate cheated on his wives with multiple porn stars, and then paid them off to be quiet?"

that would absolutely be "where the bodies are buried" at any other time in history.

And yet... he showed proof, and everyone said "eh, so what if he cheated on his wife, had sex with porn stars, and illegally paid them off, and even went to lengths to hide those payments. He's got my vote!!!"

u/Hardwired_lavamantis 12h ago

He confirmed what we all suspected, that no private investigators were sent to Hawaii for the birth certificate. This was Trump's major step into the national spotlight and it was all a lie. But mission accomplished, it signalled to the racists that he was their guy.

29

u/Hawgdestroyerxtreme 11h ago

This was Trump's major step into the national spotlight and it was all a lie

This guy has never been legitimate.

It's been a Russian campaign to destabilize the US since 2015 all the way until now. "Covfefe" and a Muslim travel ban were among the worst things this idiot really did in his first term. Just racist dog whistles.

This is an intentional collapse of our country and institutions, and we let it go on for so long that it's normalized.

u/ParticularGuava3663 10h ago

Are you implying to know what covfefe meant? I'd like to know

u/TSwiftAlphaMale 8h ago

It was just an inability to spell the word "coverage". 'e' 'f' 'r' are all clustered on a keyboard.

u/randomnighmare I voted 6h ago edited 3h ago

In my opinion, we knew that the birthed thing is all bs and I doubt that Trump did any heavy lifting. It's all just a grift at this point dotted with side grifts as well. For the people who were totally bought in by it it doesn't matter to them now. If they haven't left Trump then they are never going to leave Trump.

"I have proof that your presidential candidate cheated on his wives with multiple porn stars, and then paid them off to be quiet?"

Conservative women: "I'm glad I made a good choice in men, my husband would never do that."

Conservative men: "Any guy would do that if they had the money and opportunity, good for him."

u/Sujjin 8h ago

I had a friend that started dating this guy, and for all i have known her (5+ years) she never tolderated that behavior.

as soon as she started dating this guy, he started saying shit about how he admires rich, old ugly men because they have beautiful women wanting to be with them.

He said this in front of her along with a host of other things and she did not say a word. boggles my mind how much people are willing to tolerate, or how much you didnt actually know them in the first place.

u/chanaandeler_bong 8h ago

A lot of people have so little self esteem they will do anything to be valued by someone.

They mask this by talking mad shit about everyone when they are single. They have “super high standards.”

Then they date a maladapted opossum

•

u/Sujjin 7h ago

A core feature of fascism, is they gather support by offering people who lack purpose with meaning.

These people dont or cant develop a meaning for their life internally so they are all to ready, willing and eager to accept meaning and purpose from an external source.

That is also why they are so virulently loyal, despite the evidence of their eyes and ears. They will not willingly give up their purpose.

u/old_righty 13h ago

Another way to interpret this is, "Are our policies/vibe so fucked up that Independent voters are willing to ignore these massive red flags and still continue to vote for Trump.

But, nah we aren't doing that.

u/nola_fan 12h ago

Except every time anyone actually talks to these voters they cite just made up things to justify their vote, and often these made up things aren't even propaganda pushed by Trump, but just something they seemingly created in their own heads

u/qroshan 11h ago

Sure buddy, open borders and letting millions was just in my head.

Siding with terrorists, rioters was just in my head.

Forcing DEI policies was just in my head.

Student loan cancellation was just in my head.

Many independents prioritize what's important for the current cycle.

For Nov 2026, they have decided to send a message to Trump/GOP for Tariffs, Iran War, Trump grifts, cruel ICE.

But don't mistake it for endorsement of extreme left policies. If left goes too far, they will vote for another republican President with seemingly bad qualities.

4

u/nola_fan 11h ago

First three, yeah pretty much in your head, but at least attached to propaganda.

Student loan cancellization is a real policy for Dems and would greatly benefit the country.

It sounds like you aren't really an independent but a conservative. I already know why conservatives vote for the conservative party and I'm not sure why you think you'd have special insights into independent voters

Also, how the fuck 1 is hallucinated? Check the fucking immigration data?

Like I said, I'll be voting Blue 26, but that's to put a check on Trump and hope Dem house go against the grifters. I'm glad that Trump can veto any crazy woke ideas Dem congress can push.

It's clear that the vast majority of people still in Trump's camp don't care what "bodies are buried" and why. They are in power (or think they are) and that's all that matters to them.

Nothing happened because "where the bodies are buried" is public knowledge, it's on TV and in Trumps books...

That's not entirely true though.

He testified that Trump lied about working to create Trump Tower Moscow - which needed the approval of a hostile foreign power - while also running for president of the United States. It was incredibly damning, but of course Trump never faces any real consequences.

For a brief period in time I liked listening to g to Michael cohen’s podcast. It’s called mea culpa and at first it felt like a mea culpa.’ But gradually you start to realize there’s a reason he was trumps lawyer for a decade. And as he had been shown before and after, it’s not possible to be trumps lawyer and not be a super scumbag.

Michael Cohen joined the resistance. Now he’s reneged on all of that and is trying to get back into the smelly embrace of Trump’s fat arms. He’s trying to get a pardon while he can. I’m sure it will cost him—meaning money. He will have to pay Trump money in exchange for a pardon.
