Yeah I doubt, what is the evidence they were trying to get pregnant again that is the basis of the statement of fact the poster made? Go back to the original reporting on the story that it happened while his wife was still recovering from birth.
Your reverting to bygone days and fixating on whomever you selectively disinter is a feeble diversion from the present. The mores of society progress over time. Lynching Black Americans and forcing Japanese Americans into internment camps were once practices acceptable to many, but now would be looked upon with revulsion. In the context of the #MeToo moral enlightenment, skanky presidents no longer can claim that their celebrity allows them to grab women by their sexual parts or blithely pay hush money to conceal their depravity. That's not my call. That's how it is - Here. Now.
No I'm reverting to Clinton's presidency and the fact he and his enabling wife were the ones the Democrats desperately tried to put back into the White House last election. And your trying to compare this to lynching blacks and Japanese internment is despicably desperate and an insult to both groups. But let me make sure I understand what you are saying, at least through 2000 sexual harassment, sexual assault, rape, felonies in a federal court and a federal grand jury were all OK with the Democrats and the left and sometime between 2000 and now they became not OK and now even consensual sex is grounds for removal from office? That is REALLY the absurd argument you want to make?
That the #MeToo movement has recently raised consciousness in one theatre of moral behaviour is apparent. If you do not believe that the conduct of male sexual predators has not been altered by a greater expectation of respect as of late, you mush have missed it.
Precisely. Clinton was President twenty years ago, and the social mores of twenty years ago applied. Harding was President 95 years ago, and the mores of 95 years ago applied. You cannot force society to revert to the mores of yore regarding present matters just because it suits you.
Americans will form their views of this and other sexual escapades and attempts to hide them with the elevated #MeToo consciousness as a factor, assigning it whatever significance they choose.
I am unaware of the Commander-in-Chief's sluttish conduct incurring any legal repercussions. His legal jeopardy in that field of endeavour entails only his attempted cover-ups and, even then, are of limited consequence. Russian intrigues and obstructing justice may be quite different matters.
Again, the sordid details and any pay-offs to conceal them during the campaign are a matter for the American public to parse.
ROFL can you try to make some sense of that.............you sound like the entire country has been attending some kind of meditation classes for the past twenty years and SUDDENLY there is a national moral epiphany. Now we will attack and punish those who engaged in acts we were completely OK then because we just changed our minds the other day. Oh that's too much. Clinton sexually assaulted, sexually harassed, as much evidence he raped someone as Trump had sex with Daniels, you DO believe Broadrick right who was not a porn star who was paid for her sex, committed felonies in a federal court and a federal grand jury and was not removed from office and those who called for it were attacked by the Dems and the left. So spare me that all of a sudden because it's Trump something it going to happen to him about a CONSENSUAL night of sex. That is one of your more absurd political theories. Especially when the Dems and the left were quite giddy about putting Clinton back in the White House as of all things "First Gentlemen" representing the White House and the countries at affairs of state. You ain't got a leg to stand on.
You can question why it is a matter for the American public to assess and about witch to draw conclusions, but that's their prerogative.
You seem upset that Americans are embracing current moral values, and want to scold them for not applying those of yesteryear. I don't believe they are going to accommodate you and your agenda by retrogressing.
You have your conclusion, he had a one night stand 10 years ago. So what? Again read what Clinton did and was not removed from office, and you think Trump should be removed because of a consensual one night affair?
I think the only reason Trump is denying the affair is because it might screw up (so to speak) his pre-nup. It's more like #Not Me.
Melania cares. As do his other wives/victims. And anyone who thinks the POTUS should have good, moral values.
If skanky Trump's sordid episode with Ms. Daniels was of no consequence, why would Trump's lawyer pay her $130,000 to keep her mouth shut about it in October, 2016?
She' a pig. What does it matter or how has he not lived up to his duties as president? He didn't bring up the matter. If he did pay a prostitute for sex, he got what he wanted and moved on. Stormy is not able to move on.
