For Trump supporters, myself included, the real issues are more important as CNN found out the hard way when they thought interviewing Christian women would turn against Trump. CNN's KAYE: What was your first impression of Stormy Daniels? WOMAN #1: I felt sorry for her. WOMAN #2: My heart hurts for her. WOMAN #3: This is a porn star! (chuckling) Why are we giving it any credibility? WOMAN#4: Exactly. WOMAN #2: I agree. WOMAN #3: And the fact that she now wants to come out with a story because she’s afraid of (sic) her children? WOMEN: (laughing) WOMAN #3: My goodness! What did you tell the kiddos about your full-time job? CNN's KAYE: (dramatic read) These women all voted for Donald Trump — and despite Stormy Daniels’ claims, they still don’t buy her story. Most in this group believe God ordained Donald Trump to be president and stand by him despite his imperfections. WOMAN #5: I know that when I voted for him, I wasn’t voting for a choir boy. WOMAN #6: He hasn’t changed as a person in order to become a president. The media is totally clueless. Steve
I cared as much about Trump screwing a porn star as a cared about Cliinton screwing an intern. But when the former implies an illegal pay-off, that raises the interest of anybody who follows the news instead of being immersed 24/7 in Netflix. There are very good movie forums available. Why bother us with the fact that you are so ill-informed on the matters dealt with on this one?
I agree. I don't like Trump much, but that dislike doesn't have a thing to do with Stormy Daniel. The dislike has more to do with Trump's obnoxious, egotistical, repulsive persona and his uncouth and very unpresidential behavior for the office he holds. He acts and behaves like he is still the host of his reality TV show than president. His governance? I think he has done some good things and some bad things. I'm probably split on that, governance. But Trump is someone I could never vote for or support for reelection. He is the first president in my lifetime, I was born right after WWII, that falls beneath the office of the presidency. As to whomever a president beds, I don't give a dang. All these recent presidents have a long way to go matching JFK. JFK had class and had Marilyn Monroe. Trump has no class and had a porn star. Bill Clinton was more homespun and had country bumpkins. JFK has them all beat.
It does not matter to me, one whit, if my auto mechanic boinked prostitutes 10 years ago, or even if he paid them to pee on him, as long as he makes my '83 Camaro Z28 great again. Same is true for the POTUS, regardless of political affiliation (unless he's doing it while he's supposed to be on the job). Most everyone agrees.
A totally bogus investigation conducted by 15 uber-partisan democrats, started on false pretenses and pretexts, concocted by disgraced and partisan FBI leaders like McCabe, Comey, Strzok and others many of whom are under investigation themselves... PS find your own links
What do Democrats have to do with it? The Obama economic plan delivered the US economy to where it is now. Now, Trump and the GOP have brought back borrow and spend. And, the writhing of the GOP Congress all of last year made it abundantly clear that it is the GOP that has no real health care plan. And, if you were worried about "this garbage", then why is Donald Trump even in politics?
That's just more media BS! After the first few lies and omissions of facts, most of us stop believing anything the media says. Over HALF of republican senators voted against (or not at all) the recent Omnibus spending bill. DEMS VOTED FOR IT. The lying liberal media never told you that did they? Here is a list of the 32 Senators who voted against the Omnibus spending bill: Barrasso (R-Wyo.) Booker (D-N.J.) Cassidy (R-La.) Corker (R-Tenn.) Cotton (R-Ark.) Crapo (R-Idaho) Cruz (R-Tex) Daines (R-Mont.) Enzi (R-Wyo.) Ernst (R-Iowa) Feinstein (D-Calif.) Fischer (R-Neb.) Flake (R-Ariz.) Gardner (R-Colo.) Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) Grassley (R-Iowa) Harris (D-Calif.) Johnson (R-Wisc.) Kennedy (R-La.) Lankford (R-Okla.) Lee (R-Utah) Markey (D-Mass.) McCaskill (D-Mo.) Merkley (D-Ore.) Paul (R-Ky.) Perdue (R-Ga.) Risch (R-Idaho) Sanders (I-Vt.) Sasse (R-Neb.) Sullivan (R-Alaska) Tillis (R-N.C.) Warren (D-Mass.) Senators Not Voting: Burr (R-N.C.) McCain (R-Ariz.) Toomey (R-Pa.)
So basically you tune out and turn off any information that runs contra to your RW propaganda informed world view. Congratulations. You're like about 95% of the other conservatives here.
In order to distract from his bragging about sexually assaulting women by grabbing their crotches, Family Values™ candidate Donald Trump paraded Bill Clinton's accusers in front of the cameras at the very same time his own accusers were being paid off to keep silent, possibly violating several laws. Bigly. That was just before the last election. All caught up now?
It would have really ruined vagina-grabbing Trump's presser with Clinton's accusers if Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal walked in the room to join them.
There's much bigger issues that Trump can be critiqued on. How about his willingness to execute drug dealers, or his amplification of murders via drone strikes? These are far more serious issues than who he had sex with X number of years ago.
Trump's approval rating is still, as always, around 39%, so apparently over 60% of American voters do care. To say no one cares may make you feel better, but it most certainly isn't true.
The emails, documents, and texts in possession by law enforcement will reveal if the women Trump cheated on his wife with were paid to be silent in order to help Trump win the election. The emails, documents, and texts in possession by law enforcement will reveal if Cohen violated campaign finance laws to cover up Trump's infidelities. The emails, documents, and texts in possession by law enforcement will reveal if Cohen committed fraud to avoid Patriot Act disclosure requirements.
Crooked lawyers go to jail all the time. Cohen wouldn't be the first. Nor the last. Lawyers who break the law are a huge threat to our society. They are the guardians of the law and thus a greater danger when they violate it.
Interesting post. I tend to agree with much of it. We need to remember that JFK lived in a different time, when even the press ignored the illicit behavior in a president's personal life. Now we see things differently. I do very much agree with this: "He is the first president in my lifetime, I was born right after WWII, that falls beneath the office of the presidency." I have been a voter for nearly 50 years and have never experienced a president who is so personally "obnoxious, egotistical, repulsive ... uncouth and very unpresidential ... One thing the Dems said during the campaign that was so very true is that he is not fit to hold the office.
Mueller has more credibility in a single gray hair on his head than the entire Trump family has in their collective souls. A porn star has more credibility than the President of the United States. Sad.
Well go ahead and impeach him idiots see what happens in 2020, because it will ensure his reelection just like Bill Clintons.
If you all get the speakers gavel back, you all will be itching to do it and the American people will laugh at your face.
Yeah, and guys like you were yelling out of the other side of your mouths when it was Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.
It was a GOP bill, and Congress NEVER hesitates to spend money, especially after a President has already committed the nation to a course of borrow and spend. And that is what Trump and his Wall Street pals did. They passed a tax bill, and didn't even bother to pretend that these tax cuts would pay for themselves. When that happens, it signals the rest of the political establishment that any semblance of fiscal responsibility is out the window, and its a spending free for all. So it was with Ronald Reagan. So it was with George W Bush. I predicted this would happen (although I did not know when the GOP would take over again, or who the President would be). The last forty years have seen three explosions in the scope and amount of US government debt. The first two, Reagan and George W Bush, were caused by reckless tax cuts for the wealthy and a host of new spending. The last was caused by the near total economic collapse taht the borrow and spend GOP tradition wrought. Now, we are well embarked on a fourth round of borrow and spend. The deficit is expected to top one and a half trillion dollars, in a time in which the US has a strong economy, is relatively at peace, and is not suffering from anything other than a Russian cyber attack (which our leaders have pledged to do nothing about). The last (and only time) we had a deficit that big, the economy was in free fall and 750,000 people were being thrown out of work every month. But this is GOP fiscal responsibility for you. The same game played for yet another GOP President and Congress.
I agree. Especially about Trump. For me there was another problem with the 2016 presidential election. Hillary Clinton was the last or equally the last person or persons along with Trump that I wanted in the Oval Office. I came to the opinion that either one, both would leave this nation in far worst shape once either one left the office of the presidency than when either one first entered it. So I took the only sane route left, I voted against both by voting third party. I was one of 8 million people who did this. One of six percent of the total electorate. I would have voted for any other Democrat, alive or dead against Trump, that is other than Hillary Clinton. I also would have voted for any other Republican against Hillary than Trump. For me the choice was like having to choose your own poison, arsenic or cyanide. I opted for the kool aide of a third party candidate whom I knew had no chance at all of winning rather than choose between two horrible, the dregs of the bottom of the barrel candidates. I like to tell everyone that we have whom we have as president because of the choices, decisions made by the two major parties back in 2016. Trump need not have happened, all it took was to nominate a candidate not as disliked as Trump was by America as a whole. That didn't happened.
Exactly! But apart from all the moral handwringing, it's the fact that if the Stormy story is true, then why would the allegations in the Steele Dossier be so far fetched? And of course of far greater concern for the potential of blackmail and the compromising of the office of the presidency.
