Penn Jillette: Trump said 'racially insensitive things' during 'Apprentice' tapings​
​
Comedian and magician Penn Jillette said in a new interview that he heard President Trump "say racially insensitive things that made [him] uncomfortable" during tapings of "Celebrity Apprentice" as new claims from ex-White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman, a former contestant on "The Apprentice," make headlines.​
​
Jillette, who was a contestant on the show in 2013, told Vulture in an interview published Tuesday that Trump would "ramble" during tapings of his former reality TV show.​
​
“I don’t think he ever said anything in that room like ‘African-Americans are inferior’ or anything about rape or grabbing women, but of those two hours every other day in a room with him, every 10 minutes was fingernails on chalkboard," Jillette said. "He would ask one cast member if he’d rather have sex with this woman or that woman."​
​
Jillette, who makes up one half of the magic-comedy duo Penn & Teller, also said he believes “Apprentice” creator Mark Burnett has tapes of Trump saying "damaging things." He said that he was “in the room” when Trump used the language, but declined to give specifics.​
Jillette’s comments come as Manigault Newman alleges that she has heard tapes of Trump using the N-word on the set of the NBC series.​
​
Manigault Newman writes in her new book, released Tuesday, that she heard from sources about the tapes and has said in recent interviews that she has since heard the audio for herself.​
​
Trump and the White House have both aggressively denied the claims, with the president asserting that the racial slur is “not in my vocabulary” and attacking Manigault Newman as a “dog.”​
​
Jillette told Vulture that he “can emotionally tell you things that happened racially, sexually, and that showed stupidity and lack of compassion when I was in the room with Donald Trump and I guarantee you that I will get details wrong.”​
​
“If Donald Trump had not become president, I would tell you all the stories. But the stakes are now high and I am an unreliable narrator,” he said.​
​
He added that he was only sleeping four to five hours a night during the taping of the show and was under stress during filming.​
​
"If he hadn’t become president, I would be telling stories all day long. And if someone were to say, 'Penn didn’t get that exactly right,' you’d go 'Who cares?'” Jillette said.​
​
Manigault Newman, who has said she made secret recordings from her time in the White House, released audio early Tuesday that appears to show Trump campaign staffers discussing the potential fallout if a tape of the president using the N-word were to be released.​

I don't remember where I posted this, but a while back (in July probably) there was a shooting in Florida, where a man approached a woman parked in a handicap stall. Her boyfriend came out of the store and confronted the man, eventually shoving him to the ground. When the man pulled a gun out, the boyfriend started to back away and was shot and killed. Florida, being a stand your ground state, would normally mean the shooter would go scot free. However we have video of the incident, including the fact that the boyfriend had actually backed away and started to turn away from the guy after he pulled the gun. The shooter claimed he feared for his life, but unfortunately for him he's not a cop so the magic words don't appear to have worked. Well that and the fact that he has a history of confronting other people and trying to play cop.

Anyways, long story short he is being charged for manslaughter.

About three months ago, Richard Kelly told a Pinellas County Sheriff's Office detective he was confronted by Drejka at Circle A Food Store, the same store where he shot McGlockton. Drejka, documents said, was upset because Kelly parked in a handicapped-accessible spot. The exchange between the two became very loud and Kelly said at some point during the argument Drejka told him he was going to shoot him, documents said.


Drejka then went to his car and was rummaging around the center console, but documents said Kelly drove away. Drejka, Kelly said, also threw racial slurs at him. Kelly is black and Drejka is white.


On December 12, 2012, a woman told a Largo Police Department officer that a man driving a black Toyota truck, later identified as Drejka, pointed a gun at her and the passengers in the vehicle.


On January 10, 2012, Tyler Smith, 18, was driving with a friend when a traffic light turned yellow. Smith decided not to drive through the light and stopped his vehicle.
A truck, driven by Drejka, was behind Smith. Drejka honked his horn, documents said, and yelled at Smith. Drejka held a black handgun out the driver's side window of his vehicle and motioned for Smith to walk back to his truck, documents said. Drejka then followed the teen's vehicle, passed it and slammed on his brakes, according to police reports.


Drejka was driving his truck down US Route 19 Alternate in Pinellas County on November 13, 2013, when a woman turned onto the route, pulling into the center lane so that Drejka could pass, according to a police report. She then pulled out behind Drejka.
Drejka would later tell a state trooper that he felt the woman, who had her 4- and 7-year-old children in the car, almost hit him when she pulled into the center lane, the police report said. He began hitting his brakes "in an aggressive manner," closing the distance between him and the woman, the report said.

Email that was submitted in the manafort trial that is from manafort to kushner..... http://media1.s-nbcnews.com/i/today/z_creative/502_Redacted.pdf

Paul Manafort emailed Trump adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner on November 30, 2016 recommending Stephen Calk for the Secretary of the Army. At the same time, Manafort had received the first part of what would be $16 million in loans from Calk's bank, the Federal Savings Bank.​
 
I'm torn by this whole omarosa deal. I'm happy as hell she's doing what she's doing. At the same time, she was complicit and enabled the orange a******. Was she complicit because her long game was what we are seeing now? Or did she think of this after she sold herself to trump? I'm leaning towards putting up with her now, but never allow her to rise above what she is now. Let her tell her story. Let her help take him down. I don't trust her. I don't trust her at all.

Just like spicer, and anybody who was a trump enabler, they should never be allowed to be comfortable in media, etc. They shouldn't be given shows, appearances, comedies, side jokes. What these people did should never be forgiven nor forgotten.

The guy would have got off scott free if not for the video tape. The tape showed the guy was retreating when the gun was fired. People are such wimps these days. I don't understand how your "life" is in danger because someone pushes you down for being an bully to his spouse. He should have been in jail as soon as it happened.

Unless she has something really good on tape, she's just trying to sell books and should be ignored.

As much as we love anything anti-Trump it is easy to spot the people who just want to jump on the train for their own personal gain.

Granted, this is obviously all on Trump in the first place for hiring her. Her claim to fame is literally stabbing people in the back.
 
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge. - Isaac Asimov

I just re-read the original Foundation Trilogy as I last read them way back in the 90s and they still hold up so well. His stuff written way back in the 50s and 60s still applies.
 
The world may be coming to an end. Sarah Applebee Slanders apologized for saying something non-factual at yesterday's press briefing, and also in the same briefing said she couldn't guarantee there wasn't a Trump n-word tape. If you had held thoughts and prayers to my head and asked me to complete the sentence: "Sarah Huckabee Sanders apologizes for _________ at press briefing" I would have bet my life on "accidentally telling truth".

Sure getting tired of all of this silly word game crap. I could care less if President Trump has ever used the "N" word. Black people use that word hourly. Lets get onto the things the American people care about! Sheezzzz!

Katrina Pierson- brilliant, honest, tough! Ed Henry- manipulative, lying, weasel.

 
Security clearances once were about national security, but now are about presidential insecurity. (Lower-case is intentional until such a time as the dignity of the office is restored).

All about the money in the end unfortunately. She's dumb for putting up with his nonsense but to each their own. Glad all the dirty secrets are finally coming out. The sooner this ape is out of office the better.

manafort is gonna be found not guilty on most charges today. Then trump is going to pardon him and he won't have to face his second trial. Then they're gonna use it as fodder to show the "rigged with hunt," and shut it all down.

The only part of all that I expect to happen is the part about Trump going off about the witch hunt. I expect the verdict will be mostly guilty, with maybe some counts hung, and Trump can't pardon him or else he can then be compelled to testify since the 5th would no longer apply.
