That’s so easily faked even if it were 100% true nobody will believe it. He’d have to be on camera.

If this pee tape thing is what everyone’s hanging their hopes in, they need a new hat stand. He’s walked off bullet pride from worse than this. Aka video tape / grab em by the pussy

If it's real it will be devastating. Although his hardcore supporters/Obama haters will shrug it off (and probably masturbate feverishly to it), independents and anyone with a modicum of respect left for the presidency will find it beyond the pale.

Im not convinced, truly. What is any different about what is in the video tape and anything else that has come out of his mouth? Im sure everyone assumes Trump has banged hookers before. he's had affairs with porn stars and countless women, grab them by the pussy, good people on both sides, praising dictators, and being generally uneducated.

Im not convinced a pee pee tape will change anything.

The pee tape has become a sort of primer topic. It is the wildest, most insane claim in that set of wild claims that is best publicly known as the Steele Dossier. Also, feelings of pride and shame are major factors in Trump’s appeal to certain subsets of his followers.

If it were to prove true, I think the following would as well:

1. There would be a 5-7% shift in the number of people believing all or any other claims about Trump. “If the weirdest story is true, then...” logic. From where he’s starting, that’s a disaster.

2. People who oppose or dislike him would feel that any conspiracy or extreme claim they have bought into is also vindicated, ramping the opposition factor up by more than you might consider possible.

3. He would see a further 2-3% erosion in his base, and a much larger disintegration in his base’s motivation. Also a catastrophe for him, and for the GOP.

Change happens very slowly, and then it happens all at once. The events that trigger that final leap can seem inconsequential, until suddenly they don’t. I think such an event is becoming unavoidable for Donald Trump, with many possible contenders, unless he finds a way to put a full stop to each and every one.

So what happens legally now that Cohen has plead the fifth? Any good write-ups on next legal steps?

Wonder if he knows anyone who can pardon him.:.

But aren't the SDNY charges at the state level? Trump can't pardon those.

Nope, that's federal.

[Judge S. James Otero] must now decide whether there is evidence of enough overlap between the civil case and the criminal investigation to justify a pause.
