Lawyer: Michael Cohen whined about not getting a role in Trump White House: 'I’ve saved that guy’s ass so many times'
By Ben Kochman

Michael Cohen whined over the phone that Donald Trump still owed him $130,000 for paying porn star Stormy Daniels — and griped that he was stiffed on a spot in Trump’s White House, Daniels’ lawyer testified.

“Jesus Christ, can you believe I’m not going to Washington?” attorney Keith Davidson recalled Cohen saying during the Dec. 9, 2016, call.

Davidson also told jurors that Cohen ranted about not yet being paid back for the payoff to Daniels.

“I’ve saved that guy’s ass so many times, you don’t even know,” Cohen added, according to Davidson.

“That f--king guy’s not even paid me the $130,000 back,” Cohen said, referring to the Daniels payoff, Davidson said.

Little interest by whom, exactly?  The House passed a great border bill last year, HB 2, that has been sitting in front of the Senate ever since.  Both the Senate leadership and Biden have said it is DOA.  And Trump has since come out and said that Republicans shouldn't support any border bill unless it secures the border 100%.  Border reform was killed by Democrats in control of the Senate and Presidency, and by Trump.

Exactly how is any of that the fault of the House, or of the Speaker?

Tie the border bill to funding elsewhere. It is done all the time in Omnibus spending bills. All sorts of stuff gets packed into those.

Her point, before being mislabeled as a Putin supporter by even some who claim to be conservative, is that we have sent multiples of the amount it would take to secure OUR border elsewhere, and especially to Ukraine, but there seems to be little interest in stopping the invasion of these United States. That invasion will be our undoing, and without us, the world will fall.

By the way, it is worthwhile noting that McCarathy negotiated a budget bill last September that included 8% cuts, AND HB 2.   McConnell then said Senate Republicans would stop the alternative bill being pushed by Senate Democrats, and back that House bill.  Sounds great, right?

Except it was then certain alleged conservatives, including MTG herself, who killed that bill because they refused to support any form of continuing resolution.  The predictable result of that was that we ended up with no border bill, no 8% cuts, but the continuing resolution that was inevitable anyway.

It's like a bad joke at this point.

1.) Day job is to pass FY 2025 Budget.
2.) Who is more incompetent, the incompetent or the incompetents who elevated him to a higher level of incompetence?

Stop the damn culture war virtue signaling for FoxNews, OAN, NewMax, etc, and put the screws to Biden's policies in the damn FY 2025 Budget.

Well, maybe there aren't enough votes to pass a border bill that you want! Have you considered that?

It isn't that BOTH could not be funded, and the two could be linked--as so often is done with all sorts of stuff in spending bills. For this, she gets derided by people who should get it. 

Small wonder the country is such a bleep mess.
