Comments on: Out to get Trump via the Stormy Daniels route https://thenewneo.com/2018/03/26/out-to-get-trump-via-the-stormy-daniels-route/ A blog about political change, among other things Tue, 27 Mar 2018 16:43:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: DirtyJobsGuy https://thenewneo.com/2018/03/26/out-to-get-trump-via-the-stormy-daniels-route/#comment-2378533 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 16:43:00 +0000 http://www.neoneocon.com/?p=76572#comment-2378533 This makes it harder for Trump to swing more conservative democratic voters in the future (and definitely for GOP candidates in general). But big companies and foreign governments have already sized him up. Trump hasn’t really accomplished anything that took great effort on his part or that gave him really bad press. So tax reform and big spending but no reform of entitlements. Relaxation of regulations but no basic legislative changes to EPA, HHS, IRS, etc. He has done little in immigration reform but talk (He still hires H1B housekeepers),.

For year two he will need to get something done with wide impact (that is not the Mexican wall). This should be real health insurance reform and possibly a new optional private choice in Social security.

The Stormy’s of the world just build on an image of a guy with no fixed principles or staying power.

She was high as a kite during that interview. Another main stream media milestone.

I think this gets refuted pretty nicely by . . . AesopFan!

AesopFan, 12:10 am — “a reinforcement of the old adage that if the Left didn’t have double standards, it wouldn’t have any at all.”

The left will totally forget any sins of the Clintons and Obama, because they will totally forget anything that’s inconvenient to their agitprop du jour. They will call anyone questioning them unfortunate names, and the enemedia will back them to the hilt.

You can take that to the bank, folks.

Nothing really new is revealed, just a reinforcement of the old adage that if the Left didn’t have double standards, it wouldn’t have any at all.

“If it seems like all the liberal media and Democrats can talk about these days is former porn star Stormy Daniels, well, that is because essentially all they have talked about the past few weeks has been an alleged affair a dozen years ago between Stormy and Donald Trump.

To be clear, adultery and infidelity are wrong, and if then-businessman/TV star Trump really did have a consensual affair with Daniels, that was wrong. But it is also a private matter best left to be handled by Trump and his wife, Melania, not gloriously relished and rehashed in public by the media.

Except that is exactly what the media has done with their relentless obsession and trashing of Trump in regard to Daniels, which also rings rather hollow and hypocritical given how the liberal media has handled rumors and confirmations of affairs by previous presidents who just happened to also be popular Democrats.

For example, the U.K. Daily Mail reported in 2012 on a number of alleged affairs carried out by Democrat icon and former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, affairs which were said to be held in FDR’s “love nest,” a cottage in Hyde Park in upstate New York.”

Still laughing at what this has got to be doing to Bubba Clinton. All he got was a fat intern. Oh, and he’s got Hillary while Trump is stuck with Melania.

Ode to Melania

No, no, go not to Cooper, knife to twist
Nor Wolf Blitzer – Stormy Trooper, for his poisonous whine
Don’t suffer fine Slav cheekbones to be kiss’d
By Nightline, or sour grapes of Creepsonline

(another commenter, less classically trained)
Stormy Daniels is a “star,”
A porno queen who didn’t go far.
She was mediocre when on screen she’d hump,
So now it’s fame for trashing Trump.
CNN’s her latest producer,
A media venue set to seduce her.
But Anderson Cooper won’t give her a leer,
That’s because that dope is ————-.
But that channel’s got a lot at stake,
By reputation their “news” is fake.
So they show their version of “A Star is Born,”
By peddling a hag who’s known for porn.
…

The moral superiority of media is laughable. Just shocking that a known playboy had a consensual one night stand with a pro. Voyeurs, all of them.

I thought the same thing. Selective moral outrage is like calling someone a racist. It’s lost it’s sting.

I read part of the transcript, so didn’t benefit from Anderson Cooper’s anemic charm, but I believe Storm Cloud asserted that she only had one actual “encounter” with Trump. That is considered an affair in these days of anything goes?

It is not possible to embarrass “60 Minutes”. Couldn’t they have brought back Dan Rather for this story?

Rather would have shown the faxed receipt Trump got for paying for her services.

That, of course, would be well concealed. Is there any other reason why she wants to tell her story now? It was consensual sex between two consenting adults some 12 years ago. The Donald’s reputation as a womanizer is well known. Was talked about during the campaign and is public knowledge. Stormy’s story just doesn’t shock anyone who knows that Trump likes sex and has engaged in it with a large number of willing partners.

Those who support Trump (and I do) don’t care about his performance in the bedroom 12 years ago. What matters is his performance in getting this country moving again. So far, he seems to be doing a pretty good job in spite of all the Dem and RINO opposition.

If there is any Republican voter who is apathetic about the mid-terms, I would be surprised. The constant anti-Trump drumbeat, of which the anti-second amendment rallies this weekend are a prime example, certainly angers me and frightens me. Republicans need to turn out and vote in record numbers this November. There are much worse things ahead if the Dems take the House or Senate back.

Most people accept that, where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

The Lé¨ft may be hopeful of eventually unearthing a smoking gun with which to achieve a conviction of Trump in a Senate tÅ•ial but I doubt they’re counting on it. What they’re counting on is that accumulating enough “misdemeanors”… and RINOs will have the political cover to join the dems in removing Trump.

Never-Trump RINOs lust for a President Pence.

“Daniels is dishonest. So is Trump. But she should bear the burden of proving that someone threatened her. In my view, she cannot meet that burden through her word alone.”

Sometimes they generate vast sums of cash.

The actual porn doesn’t pay that much, but it serves as wonderful advertising.

Some “investigative journalist” (if any still exist) should look at whoever may have served as pimp or madam for Stormy Daniels. And who has she been in contact with in recent months.
