If she has one Trump will be ruined. He will become more of a punchline than he already is.

(17,984 posts)A month wasted on DNA testing of an ancient and crust pair of (not so) tiddy whities. Endless discussion on all social media (and DU) about the consequences of the results. Then it turns out the NDA covers such events and findings will not be released.

Combine the two, and we're talking a scandal of Caligula-esque porportions.

(146,281 posts)Once it does, it will be everywhere within hours and safe from being eradicated.
Frankly, if I were her and had such a video, I'd give copies of it to a few dozen websites and just say, "Here it is, guys. Use it as you see fit." But, I'd do it through an anonymous intermediary and then shrug and say, "I have no idea how that got out there...you know..."
I think it's time for the gloves to come off. People who have stuff like that should put it out there in the public domain. It will spread like wildfire.

I know, I know, it's not really 'revenge porn' if the person involved is a "bad person".

(22,023 posts)Trump has been attacking Ms. Daniels relentlessly. He's threatening her with a $20 million dollar lawsuit. In my opinion, she can use whatever tools and weapons she has to defend herself.
Depending on specific circumstances, revenge can be a proper response.

mnmoderatedem
(3,722 posts)and all sorts of verifiable items that trump desperately does not want to get out. It's why he never trashes her publicly like he does everyone else who he says is a threat. It really appears to be the basic crux of the matter, and I like everyone else relishes his pending humiliation.
Then of course there are the recent threats of physical harm to her.

He's going down and it's wonderful that it's a strong woman who will deliver the coup de grace.

(15,682 posts)Somehow I doubt his deplorables would find it offensive. They'd probably applaud him for his sexual prowess. Look at the pics of his 3rd wife. No problem with those. Where do they draw the line?
thucythucy
(8,043 posts)To me that's the point. It begs the question: WHY is Trump so desperate to keep this under wraps, when none of the other scandals posed a problem? He BOASTS about his sexual predations and "conquests"--so why should this particular case haunt him so?
They say one of the reasons Hitler was so bonkers was because he was born with only one testicle, which humiliation contributed mightily to his enraged socio-pathology.
Remember Trump publicly boasting about the size of his "package"? Sounds to me like his boasting about everything else--from being a "stable genius" to "knowing more than the generals" to having the largest inaugural crowd in history, etcetera etcetera. In other words--wild exaggerations, with little or no basis in reality.
Maybe Trump is truly lacking in the "ahem" department? Can't you see how the thought she might have photos might drive the man completely around the bend?
All prurient speculation, of course. But then, everything about Trump invites just that sort of theorizing.
God, now I desperately need to take a shower.
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)she has on him that shows that he is not the "man" he says he is, whether it's physical, psycho-sexual or other. There is something she has that will destroy his image and that is why he is so frightened.

Caliman73
(11,726 posts)Didn't care about the Pamela/Tommy Lee, Kardashian, etc... What I care about is that Trump is the walking talking embodiment of blackmail. He is such a disgusting human being, a person utterly without morals such that he is liable to fall prey to anyone who wants to hold information for ransom. All he is, is a national security threat plain and simple.
MaryMagdaline
(6,853 posts)Says bad things about Melania. That pig actually took one of his girl friends to dinner with his children, including a very pregnant DIL Vanessa, and showed his girlfriend the bedroom where Melania sleeps. He is not only a slug, he completely violated his wife's privacy. Even a prisoner gets better respect
jberryhill
(62,444 posts)What do you think he will do? Resign in shame?
This Daniels thing is like the underpants gnomes:
1. Reveal salacious stuff.
2. ???
3. All of our political problems are solved.
How does step 2 work?
Revenge porn is great stuff as long as the subject deserves it. We should have a standing committee which decides when it is "good revenge porn" and when it is "bad revenge porn".
DemocratSinceBirth
(99,710 posts)If a person had a video of Hitler of a sexual nature that compromised him should the person have suppressed or shared it ?
jberryhill
(62,444 posts)I'm mystified as to what actual impact on anything of consequence a Trump porn tape would have.
Reducing it to a "would you kill baby Hitler" question is, I guess, fun.
But I can assure you that everyone who engages in revenge porn is fully convinced the subject deserves it.
I suppose it would be a good idea for everyone to keep recordings of consensual sexual activity, so that if the justifiable need arises to prove to the world someday that "this person engages in sex and looks really comical in the process", then the proof will be at hand.
See, e.g Nietzsche re: fighting monsters.

I believe there is a moral and immoral thing to do in every situation. Withholding a sex tape that embarrasses Trump reminds me of Christine O'Donnell telling Bill Maher that if she was in NAZI Germany she would have given the location of hiding Jews to the SS rather than lying to them.
Do I think Trump will resign if there's a sex tape ? No, but he will look comical.

(62,444 posts)Well wouldn't that be a new twist on things.

(62,444 posts)I'm pretty sure if I put that into a search at the appropriate websites....
Hang on, I'll be back in a few minutes....
Now THAT's comical.
Trump, not so much.
On the other hand a Bozo sex tape and a Trump sex tape might be hard to distinguish from each other.
Incidentally, I would like to extend my personal thanks to you for my new knowledge of a band called "Bozo Porno Circus".
Kirk Lover
(3,608 posts)goons threaten her and this appears to be a pattern. He is now suing her, effectively admitting to the whole affair after he denied it. Doesn't suing her open himself up to discovery? Why in the world is he suing her? Isn't that incredibly foolish on his part?
If she signed this NDA under duress, under threats...that's not good...........right?
This Stormy situation is going to screw him - pun intended on several levels. Trust that this story has some serious....like speed skater sized legs.
jberryhill
(62,444 posts)Once again, the fact of the payment and its questionable status as a campaign contribution has been on the table for months.
There is no claim she signed the NDA under duress. Not Daniels is suggesting that. In all likelihood the process was initiated by her attorney Davidson, since that's the business he's in.

Things which would extend the narrative include:

2) Extreme deviant sex (golden showers, etc.)
3) Other topics (Trump's admission of crimes and other relationships)
flibbitygiblets
(7,220 posts)What might that be? Medical care such as an abortion, or treatment for VD? The alleged act was unprotected after all.
She's definitely got some kind of proof that this occurred, aside from the following:
-There's there's an NDA between her and Dennis Dickless, or whatever his stupid alias was. The alias was confirmed as Drumph in the change-of-venue filing by his own brilliant lawyer.
-She was paid $130K to keep quiet about "something" (paternity test results were specifically mentioned in the NDA, by the way).
Hell, the proof could be something as simple as hotel security tapes showing them going into a hotel room together, coming out again 3 minutes later, lol. That and a threatening voice mail message from Cohen recently, would explain everything that's happened so far.
jberryhill
(62,444 posts)It works out in round amounts of roughly a third to her lawyer Davidson.
Calista241
(5,586 posts)And her goals are not necessarily our goals for Trump.
She may have a tape, or she may not. Either way, every single news broadcaster is saying her name during their program. That's got to be good for her business.
