We hold this truth to be self evident, that it’s not a good idea to take a $100,000 donation from a nice Republican couple from Idaho and then spend the evening grabbing the wife’s ass and talking about how great you are in the sack. Corey Lewandowski apparently did not know that rule of political engagement prior to today but he knows it know. Trump world has kicked him to the curb. He is no longer in charge of Donald Trump’s super PAC, Pam Bondi is taking over those duties.
Lewandowski out, per Trump spokesman: “Pam Bondi…has our complete faith and confidence in taking over MAGA Action. Corey Lewandowski will be going on to other endeavors and we very much want to thank him for his service. He will no longer be associated with Trump World.”

John and Trashelle Odum did not take it well that Lewandowski stalked Trashelle when he was drunker than a skunk, groped her, threw a drink at her and called her stupid. That didn’t fly a tall a tall and the Odums were even thinking of taking their $100,000 donation back, according to Politico.
As to the other scandal du jour, Lewandowski sleeping with Kristi Noem, here’s what she has to say about that.
These rumors are total garbage and a disgusting lie. These old, tired attacks on conservative women are based on a falsehood that we can't achieve anything without a man's help.
I love Bryon. I'm proud of the God-fearing family we've raised together. Now I'm getting back to work

As I shared with you in an earlier post today the site that broke the “news” of this affair was American Greatness which is a right-biased site. This is Noem’s own camp, conservative Republicans, coming for her scalp. In any event, it may turn out to be a blessing for Noem that Lewandowski is now out of action, because if there is anything to the rumors she would do well to dump him now. If they are merely ugly rumors, going around the right-wing rumor mill, then no harm no foul. Noem goes her own way and Lewandowski does his thing, whatever thing he’s got left to do.
But Noem really should consider who her friends are, because she has heavy opposition right in her own camp. That is never a good sign. The criticism laid at her door in the American Greatness piece was not so much about moral turpitude, having an extra-marital affair, as it was about her incompetence as a governor and her dishonesty as a conservative. That’s something she needs to look at, regardless of any Lewandowski connection.
Trashelle is a name? Odum is a name?
What has gone wrong at rethuglicant central casting?
Where DO these cretins crawl out from?
Trump’s surrounding himself with only the best people seems to have a few lumps and jerks here and there … The liquid waste, trying to set Trump up for re-election, are just a front for lining Trump’s bottomless pockets anyway …
The charges looming for his call to court soon, will, and I have a suspicion this WILL be the case, his golden Company name and all its components will dissolve into gravel road dust, just as soon as the joint power of the feds and all the pissed off units in New York State and City, added to the House Democrats investigations reports … did I mention the reformed FBI and DOJ?
They ARE coming for Trump and his feral kids, big ticket things like the words Money Laundering, seem to involve the offspring as well, the boys even said in their own words once, Putin seems to be really interested in golf properties, [a LOT],.
Trump’s lies to the IRS about property values, juggling extra sets of books, inhaling huge amounts of dirty money, at every turn, Trump must be sweating bullets by now, with his TOP money man, all ready has done his own show-and-tell … Trump is looking for some way out, but he knows the box canyon well by now and he will strike like a rattle snake soon …
Oops, there went my emergency stabilization rockets driving long stakes into the surrounding soil … 🙂
Hasn’t Kristi learned anything about denouncing an adultery scandal? Whether it’s real or not, NO ONE buys the “I love my spouse” line on its face. Every single person who’s ever faced any kind of sex scandal says that as the first comment after denying the scandal itself. (“This is all garbage. It’s a blatant lie. I love my spouse.”)
As for her “conservative women” line of vomit, it seems that she’s protesting a bit much. Women on all parts of the political spectrum have faced that criticism (and, for what it’s worth, in pretty much every single field–the law, science, film making, etc).
