Why isn't the media asking the clowns showing up for dump why they support a guy who slept with a porn star while his

Wife was home with their infant son. That is what a real media would be wanting to know.
Why are members of the government working to overthrow it? And why aren’t they questioned about it?
If they can not support the final results of a free and fair election, I don’t understand why we allow them on the ballot.

1. Because they're under orders from their corporate owners

to present everything from his side? His fee-fees and those of his cult are very important and need to be explained ad nauseum, while only a very few are willing to speak truth to power.

3. If he slept with a Sunday school teacher it would not have the same impact.

The salacious aspects of the case are captivating to the public.

But I agree it is unfortunate that Stormy is labeled in this way.

But she was able to change the stereotype by becoming a likable, sympathetic
person who emerged as a woman first, her career second.

5. Disagree... if anything, a substantial part of the base gives him "attaboys" for sex with a pornstar.

Only the female one.

And women are not going to say "attaboy."

Question is, is that repulsive enough for a GOP'er woman to vote Biden?

Like I said elsewhere... I tend to think Trump is viewed more as a tool rather than a moral icon...a sledge hammer to break civil society.

11. Good question.

There is a huge "ick" factor now.

But is it enough for GOP females not to vote for Trump?

I think for some GOP women yes.

They probably won't vote for Biden, but they may not be able to pull the voting lever for Trump.
A man who had an affair with a porn star just after his wife gave birth to their son.

They may not trust this guy with the sledge hammer.

I'm not slandering her or any other women making a living in this hell hole that men have created for us.

4. You're making the common mistake...
Tue May 14, 2024, 02:51 PM

Of thinking that Trump supporters like him because of his own personal virtue or character.

To 99% of the GOP, Trump is nothing more than a sledge hammer to swing to break down the civilized State and punish their enemies.

Trump is completely immune to this shit as long as he's the sledge hammer.

In other words... the GOP hatred for the LEFT trumps anything criminal or personal that Trump exudes.

8. He raped someone, he committed business fraud

He ran a fake university, he cheated a cancer charity, he cheated his dead brother's daughter out of her inheritance . . .

If you're supporting Trump, it's because you don't care about the rule of law, respect, character, competence . . .

Trump voters want hate, support hate, have no agenda for America sans hate.

9. Liz Cheney: "Have to admit I'm surprised that Speaker Johnson wants to be in the 'I cheated on my wife with a porn star'
Tue May 14, 2024, 03:22 PM

Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman reported earlier in the morning that Johnson would become the latest politician to show up to show his support for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, and Cheney couldn't help but note the irony of a devout Christian like Johnson pledging allegiance to a man on trial for seedy hush-money coverup charges.

"Have to admit I’m surprised that Speaker Johnson wants to be in the 'I cheated on my wife with a porn star' club," wrote Cheney. "I guess he’s not that concerned with teaching morality to our young people after all."

Not to call her. Maybe because she still likes him? She said she broke it off because she felt guilty.
