Bitch tryin to ease back to the black community...
The only way I'd believe any word that came out that opportunist, sycophant, cunt's mouth is if I could confirm that her telling me the truth would be to her benefit.
Beyond that, I wouldn't trust her to give directions to the bathroom in her own house.
And to think, SOMEONE JUST MARRIED THIS CHICK?!?

I couldn’t get past the first few words in the Omarosa video with Tucker Carlson. That is one loathsome
Yes, It's a shame that many Black people think the path to success includes shitting on your own people to curry favor with whites.

This week's "Saturday Night Live" once again found fodder from the latest headlines to lampoon in the show's cold open, including jabs at recently-departed White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman, special counsel Robert Mueller, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and senior White House adviser Jared Kushner.
Alex Baldwin reprised his role as President Donald Trump, who kicks off the sketch in the Oval Office, alongside Cecily Strong's Melania Trump, saying, "You can finally say [Merry Christmas] again because the War on Christmas is over. Soon to be replaced with the War on North Korea."

Ivanka Trump, played by Scarlett Johansson, enters the room and explains to Baldwin's Trump why husband Jared Kushner is absent: "He's packing a 'go bag' before the FBI arrives," she says.

Badlwin's Trump says he's going to miss his son-in-law, to which Johansson's first daughter responds, "Yes, me too. I will always remember that one time I heard him talk." That comment is a nod to the real-life fact that Kushner rarely speaks in public.
Johansson's Ivanka tells her father she brought an ornament with defeated Alabama senate candidate Roy Moore's photo on it, to which Baldwin's Trump responds, "Poor Roy, I thought for sure he would win.

5 stories Omarosa might tell after leaving the White House
Omarosa Manigault Newman's dramatic departure from the White House this week is fueling speculation about what stories she might share after leaving the administration.
Circumstances of her White House departure
Manigault Newman's departure has sparked questions about the diversity of the Trump White House, something that officials defended this week after her exit.
"When I have a chance to tell my story ... as the only African-American woman in this White House, as a senior staff and assistant to the president, I have seen things that have made me uncomfortable, that have upset me, that have affected me deeply and emotionally, that has affected my community and my people,” she told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Thursday.
The outgoing aide also revealed in an interview on ABC News's "Nightline" on Thursday that she was lonely at the White House due to what she said was a lack of diversity, saying, "It has been very, very challenging being the only African-American woman in the senior staff."
Manigault Newman was one of few senior administration officials of color. Following her exit this week, the White House defended itself amid questions about diversity, with press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders touting "a really diverse team across the board at the White House."
"We always want to continue to grow the diversity here. Something that we strive for every day is to add and grow to be more diverse and more representative of the country at-large and we’re going to continue to do that," she said.
Why she feuded with the Congressional Black Caucus
Manigault Newman publicly feuded with the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) in June after CBC lawmakers refused to meet with Trump, accusing them of "showboating" and refusing to serve their constituents.
"Coming to the table over and over again to work through these issues is the only effective way to get where they wanted to go," she said on Fox Business Network.
"And instead, they're showboating and they're actually shorting out their constituents that they committed to represent by not coming to meet with the president," she continued.
Manigault Newman also said that by refusing to meet with the president, CBC leaders were ignoring their opportunity to address issues relevant to the black community.

Omarosa Manigault Newman's dramatic departure from the White House this week is fueling speculation about what stories she might share after leaving the administration.
Circumstances of her White House departure
Reports surfaced that Manigault Newman had been fired by Trump's chief of staff John Kelly and left the White House complex screaming and cursing, setting off a series of alarms in an attempt to speak with the president at the residence.
American Urban Radio Networks reporter April Ryan reported on Wednesday that Manigault Newman "did not resign" and was escorted off of the White House premises.
"She was very upset and said she wanted to speak to the president. According to sources, Gen. Kelly said the president was already informed and he signed off," Ryan said.
Ryan reported that Manigault Newman allegedly "acted very vulgar and cursed a lot and said she helped elect President Trump. The word is General Kelly had it and got rid of her."
Manigault Newman disputed those reports, saying she had discussed it privately with Kelly in the Situation Room, suggesting Ryan's report was due to a "personal vendetta" against her.
The disputed circumstances surrounding her exit forced the the Secret Service to issue a statement saying Manigault Newman was not escorted off of White House grounds.
"The Secret Service was not involved in the termination process of Ms Manigault Newman or the escort off of the complex," the agency wrote on Twitter. "Our only involvement in this matter was to deactivate the individual's pass which grants access to the complex."

Manigault Newman also said that by refusing to meet with the president, CBC leaders were ignoring their opportunity to address issues relevant to the black community.
How John Kelly ran the White House
Tensions between Manigault Newman and Kelly appeared to have been on the rise after it was reported in September that the chief of staff had drafted a "no-fly list" of aides who previously wandered into meetings unannounced and uninvited but who no longer have that power.
The New York Times reported that Manigault Newman was on the top of that list.
Kelly has pushed to implement his own vision for White House operations after taking over the chief of staff position in late July.
Manigault Newman is the latest White House official to leave the administration since Kelly took over, while Trump's first year has also seen the departures of senior aides including former chief of staff Reince Priebus, former press secretary Sean Spicer, former communications director Anthony Scaramucci and former chief strategist Stephen Bannon.

Manigault Newman said the president was sad to hear of her departure and said he learned of the news on television.
“[Trump] was sad to learn about my departure,” she told ABC News. “I regret that he found out about it on the television.”
However, a report from The Daily Beast revealed that Kelly was attempting to push Manigault Newman out because she was "triggering" the president by showing him negative news coverage.
“He is, however, thrilled that he has been able to stop staffers including Omarosa from bolting into the Oval Office and triggering the president with White House [palace] intrigue stories," a West Wing official told the publication.
Trump issued a tweet on Wednesday, thanking Manigault Newman for her service in the White House.

Stephen Colbert Tickled Omarosa Getting Under Donald Trump’s Skin
CBS - Stephen Colbert tonight asked the White House if they still think it was worth firing Omarosa after she dropped yet another secretly recorded tape.
“So she hired a few Ubers and did her wedding photographs in the Rose Garden. Did that really undermine the dignity of the place where they pardon the turkeys? Because, Oh Boy! Has her book tour gotten under the president’s – I want to say ‘skin’,” he advised.
A Republican insider says Trump told advisers he wants Attorney General Jeff Sessions to have Omarosa arrested. Though it’s unclear what law Trump believes she broke, Colbert said, quoting the Vanity Fair report.
Colbert imagined that conversation with Trump: “What law did she break? Is my heart a law?!”
Omarosa today dropped new secret tape, as she continues touring to plug her White House tell-all book, Unhinged.
This time it’s the former Apprentice villainess and the president’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump, who offered Omarosa $15K a month to work for Donald Trump’s re-election campaign as Assistant Secretary Of Keeping Your Trap Shut. The tape seems to confirm Omarosa’s book claim that, after being fired from her White House job, he was offered $15K a month in hush money by way of campaign job with no responsibility.
Omarosa made clear she has more tapes ready to drop,telling MSNBC some things she will write about and other things “I’m going to share when the time is right.” Which Colbert hopes is when he’s back from vacation in two weeks.
Unlikely.
Omarosa’s feeling so confident, she even had some fun “accidentally referring to Trump as “Mr. Nixon” in her interview. Guess which president Colbert thought got insulted?

LEGAL
Trump campaign is ordered to pay $1.3 million for Omarosa legal fees
The arbitrator's award came after a three-year battle between the former president and his onetime aide over a nondisclosure agreement.

The Trump campaign has been ordered by an arbitrator to pay more than $1.3 million in attorney fees for Omarosa Manigault Newman, the former White House staffer and “Apprentice” star, who wrote a scathing account of her time in the White House, following a yearslong legal battle over a nondisclosure agreement.
A person familiar with Trump’s legal plans told POLITICO, “We are going to challenge the award in court.”
Former President Donald Trump brought a legal action against Manigault Newman over remarks she made while appearing on “Celebrity Big Brother” and accounts from her book, “Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House,” and he contended she was in violation of a nondisclosure agreement she signed during the 2016 campaign.
Manigault Newman made secret recordings of conversations while working at the White House, and in her book detailed behind-the-scenes interactions with the president, the Trump family and senior staff. The first tell-all to come out of the Trump White House, it described Trump as a “racist” and made observations about unseemly behavior behind closed doors.
The arbitrator, T. Andrew Brown, ruled last September that the nondisclosure agreement Trump and his campaign required Manigault Newman to sign was too sweeping to be legally enforceable. Under the language in the agreement, almost any fact about Trump or his family members that he wanted to keep secret was presumptively confidential.
“The information that is supposed to be protected under the Agreement is not spelled out, but is rather left to the subjective determination of one person,” Brown wrote. “Consequently, there would be no way for Respondent to know if she was in breach of the Agreement.”
Brown’s ruling voiding the nondisclosure agreement tracked with a similar decision in March 2021 from a federal judge in New York who concluded that a similar Trump campaign agreement was too vague to apply.
Under the terms of the campaign’s agreement, the prevailing party in any arbitration arising from the agreement would be entitled to his or her attorneys’ fees. Brown concluded that Manigault Newman was the victor in the dispute and, therefore, entitled to recoup her legal fees and litigation costs.
The award of legal fees issued on Tuesday is the latest development in Trump’s three-year legal campaign against Manigault Newman over nondisclosure agreements he made employees sign.
“It’s the largest known attorney fee award against a Political Campaign or President we can find and hopefully will send a message that weaponized litigation will not be tolerated and empower other lawyers to stand up and fight for the whistleblower and vocal critic against the oppressive machine,” Manigault Newman’s attorney, John M. Phillips, said in a statement.
“However, the $1.3 Million pales in comparison to the $3 to $4 million the Trump Campaign paid its own lawyers in order to suppress speech,” Phillips said. “That’s a lot of donations which went to lawyers in the name of politics. It’s truly shameful. We look forward to receiving a check and will donate a portion of the proceeds to groups who stand up to the suppression of speech.”
Still, Manigault Newman has other fees to pay. Just last month, a judge ordered her to pay a $61,585 penalty for failing to file a financial disclosure report after she was fired from the Trump White House in December 2017.

The Trump campaign has been ordered by an arbitrator to pay more than $1.3 million in attorney fees for Omarosa Manigault Newman, the former White House staffer and “Apprentice” star, who wrote a scathing account of her time in the White House, following a yearslong legal battle over a nondisclosure agreement.
A person familiar with Trump’s legal plans told POLITICO, “We are going to challenge the award in court.”
Former President Donald Trump brought a legal action against Manigault Newman over remarks she made while appearing on “Celebrity Big Brother” and accounts from her book, “Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House,” and he contended she was in violation of a nondisclosure agreement she signed during the 2016 campaign.
Manigault Newman made secret recordings of conversations while working at the White House, and in her book detailed behind-the-scenes interactions with the president, the Trump family and senior staff. The first tell-all to come out of the Trump White House, it described Trump as a “racist” and made observations about unseemly behavior behind closed doors.
The arbitrator, T. Andrew Brown, ruled last September that the nondisclosure agreement Trump and his campaign required Manigault Newman to sign was too sweeping to be legally enforceable. Under the language in the agreement, almost any fact about Trump or his family members that he wanted to keep secret was presumptively confidential.
“The information that is supposed to be protected under the Agreement is not spelled out, but is rather left to the subjective determination of one person,” Brown wrote. “Consequently, there would be no way for Respondent to know if she was in breach of the Agreement.”
Brown’s ruling voiding the nondisclosure agreement tracked with a similar decision in March 2021 from a federal judge in New York who concluded that a similar Trump campaign agreement was too vague to apply.
Under the terms of the campaign’s agreement, the prevailing party in any arbitration arising from the agreement would be entitled to his or her attorneys’ fees. Brown concluded that Manigault Newman was the victor in the dispute and, therefore, entitled to recoup her legal fees and litigation costs.
The award of legal fees issued on Tuesday is the latest development in Trump’s three-year legal campaign against Manigault Newman over nondisclosure agreements he made employees sign.
“It’s the largest known attorney fee award against a Political Campaign or President we can find and hopefully will send a message that weaponized litigation will not be tolerated and empower other lawyers to stand up and fight for the whistleblower and vocal critic against the oppressive machine,” Manigault Newman’s attorney, John M.
