“Donald Trump is legally screwed after he leaves office. John Iadarola and Dave Levinthal break it down on The Damage Report.
The report by special counsel Robert Mueller over possible ties between Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia has been published, and the president himself feels exonerated.
But there are other legal troubles dogging his presidency, family and businesses.
In New York and Washington, the list of inquiries into the Trump world is expanding – any of which could produce serious headaches for the president.
Here’s a look at the latest collection of eyeballs scrutinising the president – and what it all could mean.
CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter called on the anonymous sources featured in The Atlantic’s bombshell report on President Donald Trump making disparaging remarks about Americans who fought in war to come forward.
CNN anchor Don Lemon spoke with Stelter about the report, in which sources said Trump repeatedly called Americans who died at war “losers.” Lemon noted the White House and Trump fiercely denied the reporting.
Trump on Thursday night gave a lengthy tarmac denial, billing it as “a total lie,” “fake news” and “a disgrace.” He also maintained that he never called John McCain a “loser,” which is false.
01) Fox News Confirms Trump Called Veterans “Suckers” and “Losers”
“A Fox News reporter has confirmed that Trump called U.S. soldiers “suckers” and “losers.”
Fox News spent a chunk of its Friday coverage dismissing a report in The Atlantic saying President Donald Trump belittled fallen military members by calling them “suckers” and “losers.”
Then Jennifer Griffin, a national security correspondent for the network, said in a lengthy Twitter thread that former Trump administration officials confirmed the president’s remarks to her.
The Atlantic article cited anonymous sources — which Fox News said suggested the article had been falsified — but two former senior Trump administration officials verified the president’s disparaging comments to Griffin, she said.
“Ex-Disney star Bella Thorne says she’s ’truly sorry’ to OnlyFan sex workers after ignorant usage of the site. John Iadarola and Lindsey Ellefson break it down on The Damage Report.
Bella Thorne apologized Saturday for the negative impact her OnlyFans account had on sex workers who were already using the paid subscription site to sell photos and adult videos, explaining that her intent was to “normalize the stigmas” around sex.
“Remove the stigma behind sex, sex work, and the negativity that surrounds the word SEX itself by bringing a mainstream face to it,” the actress wrote on Twitter. “That’s what I was trying to do, to help bring more faces to the site to create more revenue for content creators on the site.”
She went on, “I wanted to bring attention to the site, the more people on the site the more likely of a chance to normalize the stigmas, And in trying to do this I hurt you. I have risked my career a few times to remove the stigma behind sex work, porn, and the natural hatred people spew behind anything sex related. I wrote and directed a porn against the high brows of my peers and managers because I WANTED to help with the stigma behind sex.”
01) Former Trump Voters Admit He’s Actually Destroyed The Country
“Last week, CNN’s Alisyn Camerota spoke with a panel of former Trump supporters, and some were far more candid than others and actually admitted that the President has destroyed the country in a way that they never thought possible. And this is the great irony of the Trump administration. Republicans have told us for years that liberals would destroy the country, and as soon as they get power back they actually do what they accused us of doing for a decade. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Last week CNNs, Alison Camerata spoke with a panel of former 2016, Donald Trump voters. All of them happen to be suburban, uh, women that, that demographic, that Donald Trump’s swears is totally gonna vote for him. And, uh, they all kind of told the same story. And this actually happened two weeks ago, as well with CNN held a panel with these former Trump supporting white suburban women. And they have abandoned him, but one of them actually said something and that’s kind of what I want to talk about right now. And she said that Trump has destroyed the country in a way that no other president has done before. She was shocked at the amount of devastation, the amount of damage that Donald Trump has actually done to this country in just four short years.
That statement is why Donald Trump’s claims of Joe Biden, unleashing anarchy, and only trumping able to keep you safe. That statement is why Donald Trump’s, you know, fear-mongering, isn’t resonating as much as it usually would with these voters. He’s the one who causes the chaos. He is an agent of chaos. He rebels in it. He enjoys it. He encourages it. And the voters, at least some of them, you know, we don’t really know yet how widespread these feelings are, but some of them totally understand it. They get it. And that’s not even the most important part. The most important part is the irony of it. All. We have gone through
Decades, decades
Of Republican candidates for house Senate and president telling us that if we elect the liberal, if we elect their opponent, that person is going to single handedly, destroy this country. As we know it, it’ll never be the same. The country, you know, the country you love will be dead and you might be too. They they’ve told us that. And Matt Gates told us that at the Republican convention last week, he said, if you vote for Biden, boom, you’re going to have a [inaudible] moving next door to you. Well, turns out it’s, it’s the Republicans. They’re the ones who have actually been destroying this country. As we know it, none of the dire predictions that Republicans have been making for decades have ever come true. You know, did you just, the widespread abortions everywhere, an abortion clinic on every corner never happened. In fact, abortions actually go down.
When Democrats are in charge, that’s quite an amazing statistic. When Republicans are in office abortions, go up, they’ve never come door to door, confiscating your guns. Even though we’ve been hearing that for decades and my whole life Republicans have been saying, Democrats, coming door to door to take your guns. It’s never happened. Never death panels. Well, we have them now actually had to cause the cause the pandemic, we had doctors and nurses and hospital corporations having to get together to decide which person’s going to get the last ventilator who lives, who dies. It’s a death panel. The thing Republican said, Republicans said, excuse me, Democrats would do. Uh, they, they actually cause to happen here in the United States, all of the big, horrible, bad things, you know, Democrats are gonna trash. The constitution Democrats are gonna take away your rights. All of those horrible things they said would happen under Democrats have happened under Trump, your losing your rights.”

01) “I Despise Myself for Thinking about Them.” A Thematic Analysis of the Mental Health Implications and Employed Coping Mechanisms of Self-Reported Non-Offending Minor Attracted Persons
“ABSTRACT
‘Non-offending pedophiles’ or ‘minor attracted persons’ are individuals who suppress an attraction to children. Previous analyses of this population’s mental illness employed overt self-report methods, limited by social desirability. Additionally, studies assessing the coping mechanisms employed to remain offense-free are underpowered; understanding of these would facilitate the rehabilitation of prior offenders. A thematic analysis of coping mechanisms and mental illness was conducted on 5,210 posts on the ‘Virtuous Pedophiles’ forum. Four themes emerged for coping mechanisms: Managing risk and attraction to children, Managing mood, Managing preferences prosocially and Friends, family and relationships, with 13 subthemes. Five themes emerged for mental ill-health, including: Addiction, Anxiety, Depression, Self-hatred/Self-harm/Suicide and Other. Self-hatred/Self-harm/Suicide accounted for almost a third of discussed mental ill-health. These results highlight the severity of mental ill-health amongst this population and the coping mechanisms employed to remain offense-free.
KEYWORDS: Suppression, pedophilia, minor attracted person, mental ill-health, coping mechanisms”

“Constable!” Gant announced.
