We need a fucking credible account and an impeccable witness. Omarosa has/is neither.
VERY annoying, I'd fire her too.
Don Regan wrote a great kiss and tell on Ron and Nancy, it is beyond frustrating with some great extant examples such as that to use as a guide, Omarosa still managed to fuck this up so badly and so rapidly.
I don't think anyone here is arguing she is a girl scout. She is an opportunist, but again, when you take into account all the vile dehumanizing comments the President has made repeatedly almost on a daily basis, outside her personal contact with him, it adds up to her being consistent with what others have said even if you don't like her personally.
Any law investigator or prosecutor will NOT rely on claims alone, they get evidence that backs up the claim. It does not matter to me that Omarosa is trying to make a buck off all this. I am not shocked, but when you take into account the fact 45 did not rent to blacks in the 70s. Called for the death penalty for the Central Park 5 whom were eventually cleared and proven innocent. When he perpetuates 5 years of "secret black Muslim". when he starts his campaign calling Mexicans rapists, when he calls for a ban on an entire religion, when he refuses to condemn KKK and Nazi supporters and vilifies REPEATEDLY black NFL players, when Omarosa says he said vile things in front of her in private, that sounds very credible in the context of is long term behavior we do know about.
It is really no different than what law and prosecutors are doing in the Manafort case. They are not just using those who admitted committing crimes. That alone if they only stuck to mere word, could easily be subject to appeal. No, they are backing up the flippers, with paperwork and employees who were conned but not in on it.
I find Omarosa's statements about him saying racist things very credible, regardless of knowing she is an opportunist.

Which is both sick and scary; then again, there are some folks who daydream about a global thermonuclear war and would rejoice if such happened.

It can be both. 'Derogatory' tends to denote tone more than it does content. If two people make the same observation, but one of them does so disrespectfully, that one is derogatory. For example:
A: 'Donald Trump has made some major mistakes thus far in his presidency.'
B: 'Donald Trump has made some major mistakes thus far in his presidency, chiefly because he is emotionally a 6 year old child and has all the intellectual and social acumen of a moldy Mars bar.'
B is derogatory, A is not.

No, the use of that word allows the bad guys to falsely play victim.
Calling someone evil who is is deserving, if you call that language "derogatory" you undermine the ability to prevent that evil from growing.
If we were talking about sane reasonable people you'd have a better case. But this to me is no different than saying "you have the right to your opinion" about the word "theory" in calling it a mere guess. The unreasonable will use the word "derogatory" and falsely play victim.
The only one being "derogatory" is Trump, calling him a bully is what sane and empathetic people should call him.
To not do so is to give a bullhorn to the evil ideologies that support him.

Yellow flag for compound derogation. The Mars bar is bad enough on its own; no need to go for the jugular with the "moldy".
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Apparently there's documentation that the Trump organization tried to bribe Omarosa's silence. Damn her credibility. You don't need credibility when you've got documentation.

I couldn't think of a single thing to say about that miserable scumbag that wasn't derogatory.
