Oh please. The lying is pathetic. I’m simply stating that. His lawyer did not pay her for her thoughts on campaign finance reform or an official job as Campaign Liaison to the Horny and Desperate. I simply said and stand by my original never-changing, incredibly consistent, non-goalpost-moving question of “why is anyone shocked and who cares?” No one who voted for him did so because they thought he was being a faithful husband. Even his wife didn’t expect that. Snort.cwtcr hokie wrote:No, we know there is a payoff and an allegation, how in the world would you KNOW what happened between the two humans involved.

He could have been be a CEO or a carnie. Makes no difference to my point, which was ‘who cares and is anyone really surprised?’ He gets no pass from me for the moronic and pathetic lying just like any politician. I don’t care if it’s day one on the job for him or day 1000. His job NOW is the same job Clinton the predator had. I don’t care if they were both handing out frostys at Wendy’s prior to this. Hold them both to the same standard. He needs to get his addled crap together. As for going and checking out everything a person did before seeking office, you’d have to be living under a rock in 2016 to miss his crapfest of a life. He was chief among the parties putting it out there with the Howard Stern interviews, crazy comments in the press, TMI about his sexual history, messy public divorces and affairs, etc. So, his base knew what they were getting. Whining about it being splashed all over the news NOW is a waste of time.cwtcr hokie wrote:I did not realize Trump was in politics before 2016...who knew? No I don't go check out everything a person seeking office did BEFORE they were ever in politics. Of course if you did we would have exactly ZERO elected people.Once wrote:Oh who cares? Is anyone here really surprised? Trump is a scumbag. So is his lawyer. His wife isn’t dumb as a rock so she entered into this transactional relationship knowing what she was getting. He isn’t good looking or particularly fascinating in any way. She didn’t marry him because he’s sensitive or writes poetry. I don’t feel sympathetic at all.
The only thing I find repulsive here is the lies. Just own it. We all know he and his cronies are lying. His base doesn’t care, so why? Does he really think we’re all so effing stupid?
Yes, Clinton was a scumbag too. His desperate wife accepted the same deal. I don’t feel sympathetic at all. He also had to be dragged kicking and screaming toward the truth and it was just moronic. Apparently he thought we were all effing stupid too.
Americans are being served up excrement. The only difference is the color of the plate upon which that excrement festers - red or blue.
Besides that, don't understand where you're going with this. I don't disagree with what you said, but I don't see anyone complaining.
Trump is a pit bull. You don't buy a pit bull to play with the kids. I think he should act ethically and lawfully in Office (not perjuring himself, for example), but I'm not looking for him to be a role model for my kids as DC is, apparently. That's my job, maybe it's different for others. In a practical sense, he's a lot more moral outcome to the Mitt Romney (or pick a candidate) who would have lost to Hillary. He wasn't my first choice but I'm sure as hell glad he won.
It’s the lying about it I find insulting and idiotic. My second post was specifically to CWTR who took some crazy turn off into the bushes.
I know you slept with Margaret Thatcher....trust me, I know
It’s the pathetic and rookie-level lying I find objectionable. His base is whining and sputtering about Clinton the creepy lothario and predictably pretending to believe that anything other than what it was is plausible or possible. You don’t have to care what he did to be annoyed with his incredibly obvious attempts to recreate the “these aren’t the droids you’re looking for.” If you want to get on board with that crap and adamantly insist that the sky is red when it is in fact clearly not, that’s your deal.
