[snip] There have only been two times in Trump’s political career where that dynamic of Republican unanimity has broken, where Trump was near political death. Along the way there’s the lady he assaulted in the Bergdorf Goodman dressing room and the porn star he fucked who, he said, reminded him of his oldest daughter.

It’s not just that Republicans are enforcing totalitarian unanimity in supporting Trump for fucking a porn star and covering it up. Trump paid $400,000 to cover up fucking a porn star.

Appearing before Senate estimates on Monday, Services Australia confirmed that Julianne Stewart, a personal speechwriter for the government services minister, Bill Shorten, cost the agency $620,000 over two years. The arrangement came to light after the tender was published on the government’s AusTender website.

'Senators who work in this building get paid about $230,000 a year,' Kovacic said.

Brexit figurehead Nigel Farage announced Monday he will stand at the UK general election next month, in a major U-turn that threatens to split the right-wing vote and further imperil the beleaguered ruling Conservatives.
