The President and the Porn Star

[_moksha]

I think Subgenius's point is well taken. An affair by Trump does not rise to the level of an illicit BJ received by a Democrat. Clinton had much larger "hands" to rise.

Besides, isn't it heartening when Republicans can be accused of something heterosexual?

Just so we're clear. You're cool with President Trump having “F” ed a porn star while married to a nude model?

You're cool with that?

- Doc

my level of "cool-ness" with that scenario is unchanged regardless of the fuck-er...in other words, my personal physician may well have done the same thing while he may well have been married to a nude model - and yet all irrelevant to the profession for which i have enlisted him.
Therefore, this is yet another meaningless distraction for those who have yet understand that Trump's other hand is indeed not being watched.

There's nothing surprising about the story, except for the fact she was actually able to collect payment from Trump for her services. In fact, that little detail makes me doubt the story is true.

Who had just given birth to your daughter. Most moral people would have issues and say this tells us too much about someone's character. But the Trumpster people aren't typically interested in morals or values unless they think they can use them to bash people on the Left.

Do not pretend that you know anything about moral people, let alone "most" moral people. Guys like you are always so willing to give there opinion on how other people are supposed to be - all the while holding these same people in a contemptuous view.

But i do appreciate how you are only concerned with morals when you can use them to bash people on the Right.

or relevant or meaningful or anything other than a distraction for the weak minded.

Allegedly, Trump was on the cover. For Trump, that’s erotic.

Alternate title: A few Centuries after the Cherry tree.

It says something about Presidential political reality in 2018 that a President having an affair with a porn star 4 months after the birth of his youngest child (And subsequently paying $130,000 for said Porn Star's silence) is NOT the biggest story of the year. If you don't think the political climate has changed, imagine the political blowback for Clinton, Bush or Obama.

there would have been no such "blowback", you are exaggerating. JFK made infidelity an integral part of Camelot and that had no "blowback" (notwithstanding Marilyn's preferences). Clinton was a known womanizer with even his wife acting as an enforcer by defending his promiscuity on the public stage. Bush - really? and Obama - clearly his tastes run along the lines of NBA stars not porn stars.

The Press of the 40's, 50's and early 60's was a lot more circumspect regarding our Presidents. I believe only a very few photographs exist of Franklin Roosevelt using braces for his polio for public consumption during his presidency. Dwight Eisenhower had an affair with Kay Summersby during World War II. Kennedy's affair with Marilyn was kept quiet. Lyndon Johnson, purportedly very well endowed, had more than one affair.

But the press of the 21st Century is a very different animal. 21st Century Media allows our Presidents far less privacy and are far less circumspect in their coverage. Everyone would have known about Roosevelt's polio, Roosevelt's affair, Eisenhower's affair, Kennedy's affair and we would probably have some accurate estimates of the exact size of Lyndon's longhorn.

But back then, Kennedy's affair with Marilyn was whispered about, but never discussed on television (at least that I can remember). There were a few hints, however.

But there was nowhere near the level of intimate detail presented to the public 30 years ago. I remember when reporters were stationed outside the medical center where James Earl Carter had his hemorrhoids removed. FDR had his polio ignored for 20 years, but Carter literally could not keep his own ass private.
