Don't forget who Omarosa is...

It’s great to watch the rats turn on each other but we should not be attributing any special dispensation towards Omarosa as she was very happy to be a trump stooge and use money that wasn’t her own and power of the office of the president for personal gain.
She came out on many...many...talk shows in the past to advocate for trump. She has lied and abused others in horrible ways.

Until I hear trump on tape and use language we all know he uses daily, I will take everything said by a trump protege with a large grain of salt.

She's no better than Trump. And if she's getting under his thin skin, great. But she's still Omarosa, and nothing will change that.

Instead of "two minutes of hate" we are all going to need a daily "twenty minutes of love" to counter-act these dark awful years in America. NEVER AGAIN.

How you get that from what I said I have no idea. You seen my signature line? That has been in place since he was elected.
More importantly, the point was that Omarosa is no hero standing up to the man. She is a self-serving sycophant who enabed the very racist she now rages against.

throw that away because you don't like her.

You're doing the same thing defense attorneys do when the prosecution turns a bad guy to testify against a defendant: "let's not forget who he is"...

That's why you are unwittingly defending trump. What's her character got to do with the evidence on tape?

My point is not to discredit her evidence but to maintain perspective of who she is and what she has said and done in the past.

Until such evidence is seen and reviewed, all we have is one narcissist pissed off at another narcissist.

Most importantly, I’m not hanging my hat on anything to do with her. I have a lot more faith in the professional and diligent investigation being conducted by Mueller and team than anything that sycophant can cook up.

I don’t think she would return a wallet she found on the street unless she thought there would be a substantial reward for it.

However, she is the enemy of my enemy.

I don’t have to trust her to appreciate the damage she’s doing.

in other words, a typical black repug.

There are no fans of her's here but if she can help bring down trump and the repugs, we're in favor of that.

Enemy of my enemy...and all that.

Turns out she's outsmarted trump and his sycophants by taping incriminating conversations months and even years in advance for possible future use.

And now she's using them.

I’m not going to play kiss ass to a self-serving sycophantic narcissist.

It’s great to watch these assholes all turn on each other but we should never lose perspective while doing it.

They are not our friends and what we are watching is the destruction of our republic before our eyes. It’s not fun, funny or good for anybody.

on the campaign, and the people who work for him in the White House are ALL EVIL LIARS !!!!

Maybe it will take an EVIL LIAR to bring him down.

That would not make her a hero, but if he leaves the White House, I would be glad.

Because then it’s about the tapes, not sycophants and liars.

I want paper trails, because then it’s about the documentation and not about sycophants and liars.

I want video because then it’s about the video and not about sycophants and liars.

I want to take these people and personalities out of it. We have had to align ourselves with some seriously odorous people to fight trump and I’d rather deal in proof and hard evidence that ridiculous idiots parading in front of cameras.

Red Don really imagines being potus is like having a continuation of his own reality tv show. So does she -- it's all they know.

Just look at this sordid drama through that lens.
