How Outrageous!

 

I’ve noticed the funniest thing in the last few days, and I keep waiting for someone to point it out, but I haven’t seen anyone yet.

Liberal commentators are concerned, very concerned, and you can tell they’re concerned by the concerned expressions on their concerned faces and the concerned tones of their concerned voices… that Donald Trump might have been trying to affect the outcome of the election by paying off women to keep them quiet. Get that… they are specifically upset not by the payoffs, but by their potential effect on the vote.

Oh My God! A politician trying to win an election, actually trying to get as many votes as possible? Outrageous! What other horrifying revelations will we be forced to accept? Next, you’ll be telling me that the White House Press Office plays up news that is positive for the administration while downplaying information that is not.

Of course, we all know that Hillary Clinton spent her $2 billion campaign war chest helping the homeless, and trying to build a better America. She would never be so crass as to use that money to try to get votes.

    Clearly, instead of paying them off he should have had cronies led by his lawyer wife threaten and harass them.

    Here are two of them.

    Bob’s not the only dog in that household.

    Arahant, are you saying that these girls were not attracted to me because of my good looks and animal magnetism—and that they were only interested in the 20 buck tip I was about to give them?  Well I never!

    Well, that sure ‘splains a lot about why these playmates and porn actresses want to report publicly on all their adventures. $$$ I don’t think ladies would be doing that.

    So Cohen, or Trump through Cohen, paid Daniels to keep quiet.  She accepted the money (did she also sign some sort of non-disclosure statement?).  One or both should sue her for breach of contract.

    Is Trump as dumb as a stump when it comes to matters of the groin?

    The only problem with humor like that is people like Mona Charen

    What worries me is Trump’s intelligence. Do these thought ever run through his head?

    What do you think? Is Trump as dumb as a stump when it comes to matters of the groin?

    How do you think life’s been working out for him? Let’s see. He’s a billionaire and president of these United States.

    You?

    Let’s see what good it does him in Eternity.

    I also notice that some people are saying Trump/Cohen “silenced” women. Technically correct, but it frames it in a way that makes the women victims. It sounds as if something was done to them, and they were helpless in the situation. They aren’t victims, unless I’m missing something. They chose to be involved with Donald Trump (or chose to claim as much), and then they agreed to be quiet about it.

    Yeah: for a price. There are no victims here. Porny Daniels is inthe sex business. It’s what she sells. Karen the Bunny was courted, by her own account. This was not , f’rinstance, Bill Clinton directing the state police to deliver a woman to his motel room.

    As your legal counsel, I recommend you put the word ‘allegedly’ before each noun and verb.

    Daniels sued Trump for breach of contract, alleging that he was the first to violate the non-disclosure agreement.

    Makes sense. Would you want the world to know you had sex with Donald Trump?

    What exactly is she alleging that he did to breach?

    Is an NDA binding in both directions?

    Why are these women so anxious to tell the world about this?  Perhaps they are the ones with issues.

    It’s like there are TWO ENTIRELY different United States of America out there. And they aren’t talking to each other. And they don’t hear each other. And they have no idea what the other one thinks or wants.

    But this is not true. We hear the other side. It’s just most of them will not listen to us and have never heard what we have to say. We read their stories. We watch their news.

    I dispute “have to”. TVs, even digital ones, have off buttons. So do radios.

    We go out to restaurants occasionally. There are TVs in most of them. Same in doctor’s offices. Some places have radio playing overhead. And driving in a car that is so old that all it has is a cassette tapedeck or radio, I usually listen to radio.

    Also, it’s hard to avoid all contact with people who listen to that stuff.

    I try to avoid contact with people – a lot of ’em are dripping with viral content.
