I wonder if Trump swore to love and honor Melania when he married her. Screwing porn stars when your wife is birthing your son is a strange way to show it.
Do you know if she is cool with it? Some are.
Right. I bet you do want to believe that...
Right, and I bet the opposite is what you want to believe? Lol
Thats the best thing about this, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW đđ
I'm still reeling from this pitiful attempt, whatever happened to that Disc? Lol did they even play it??? Idk, the scumbag lawyer kepted tweeting it like a threat or something.
All sensationalized like the super market tabloids, bunch of fishies caught đ¤Łđ¤Ł

The reason this isn't going to get traction is because everyone already knows he is a philanderer. Noone thinks Trump is a paragon of virtue and not a playboy.
You are totally right. Most people don't care. Except for his biggest core supporters who have been able to deny and turn a blind eye. They will eventually be forced to look and acknowledge they are supporting somebody that is morally reprehensible by their standards and either have to withdraw their support or maybe realize the values they've used as a bludgeon on society aren't as important as they've been pretending they are.

Yet if this were Obama and a porn star it'd be the end of world right? It's amazing how republicans and democrats can twist anything to fit their particular narrative. You guys will make excuses for Trump because in your mind, he's right and everyone else is wrong. It's really quite sad that most of you don't understand this.
It has gone beyond absurdity and has circled back into comedy. It's almost like when they dismiss obviously-problematic things like this with a casual wave of their #maga caps, they sort of know they are part of the inside joke of Trump-can-do-no-wrong-ism.
They have to know how ridiculous it is at this point. Otherwise, I've waaaaay overestimated humanity.
So people that arent obsessed with trumps sex life are the ridiculous ones?
It used to be that the left didnt care about who people had sex with. It was one of the things I agreed with them about.
No. People who dismiss the hypocrisy of the evangelical right supporting a lecherous, prideful adulterer are being ridiculous.
Trump was propped up by the party and religion who have historically repressed sexuality, sex work, and secular pride. It's like their centuries of enforced values are meaningless when faced with this marmalade ball of chaos.
Only #maga culture could possibly mix that strange cocktail of defending sexual freedom and punching down at the same time, of simultaneously having fundie Christians defend adultery while still harming others over the "sanctity of marriage". Such bull #.
Oh please.
Just like the left and party of sexual freedom and women push Islamic culture, whihc represents more oppression for gays and women.
Or ghow the feminists pushed Bill clinton.
ANd so on.
The selective outrage is palpable.
Religious people voted for Trump, some voted for hillary.
Some are hypocrites that thought trump was pristine, they were wrong or willfully ignorant.
But does that excuse the other side being hypocritical and now all of the sudden pretending a consensual affair is a huge deal, when they refused to look at those things (rightfully so) under past democrats?

You're kinda all over the map on this post so I'm not sure how to respond.
I'm not a "fundie evangelical" nor defending adultery. And most "fundies" I know wrote in a vote for Ted Cruz. Can you point me to a single "fundie" hypocritically supporting adultery? Or does everyone who didn't vote HRC get lumped into a "fundie" pile with you?

I don't know any liberals who are "outraged" at the fact Trump is sleeping with adult film start; that was sort of a given. I think the exasperation (what you have mistaken for outrage) is from the double standard.
I also don't know any liberals who support those harmful parts of Islamic culture. That is just how conservatives translate sentiment that are anything less than absolute animosity towards Muslims.

The difference is that the majority of liberals are against the oppressive cultural components of certain Muslim-majority nations. Yet I can prove with numbers that over 80% of Americans who made centuries-long careers out of telling others what they can and cannot do in the bedroom... suddenly supported a man that represents everything they have always pretended to hate.

Party of family values. No more.
Just one more chip away at any morality the Repubs once had.
The public support you've had for this dude is destroying your party.
More and more each day.

And 80 percent of the people who mnake a living pushing womens issues are absolutely silent on those same abuses.

To begin with, you are just guessing that number when I can provide statistics. Second, you are talking about feminists who try to make changes in their own nation not being as vocal about what is going on in other nations. How is that a reasonable (or even relevant) comparison?
FGM is performed with special knives, scissors, scalpels, pieces of glass or razor blades. Anesthetics and antiseptics are uncommon unless the procedure is performed by medical practitioners.
By stripping sex of physical pleasure, it is thought the femaleâs libido will be reduced, her virginity safeguarded, and her marital fidelity ensured. Similar practices have occurred in the United States too. American physicians treated females for masturbation by removing their clitoris from the mid-19th century through the mid-20th century.
The immediate effects of FGM may include blood loss, severe pain, and sometimes death. Long-term health problems may include urinary infections, infertility, painful menstruation, and painful sexual intercourse. Women who have had FGM are significantly more likely to experience difficulties during childbirth, and their babies are more likely to die.
According to the Population Reference Bureau, more than 500,000 females in the United States are at risk of or have been subjected to FGM. Forty percent of them live in five metro areas.
FGM has been a crime in America since 1996. Federal law provides that, âwhoever knowingly circumcises, excises, or infibulates the whole or any part of the labia majora or labia minora or clitoris of another person who has not attained the age of 18 years shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.â
The first federal FGM prosecution, however, was not filed until 2017, when two Michigan doctors and the wife of one of the doctors were charged with performing FGM on two seven-year-old girls.
FGM is a crime under state law in 26 states, but I was not able to find examples of state prosecutions. Attempts to make it a crime in the remaining 24 states have met resistance. It can be difficult to separate attempts to end FGM from claims of Islamophobia.
...
Political correctness also is an issue. The New York Times would not use the term âFemale Genital Mutilationâ in its article about the Michigan doctors, except in a quote. The Times called the offense, âgenital cutting,â despite the fact that the prosecution was based on a federal criminal provision entitled, âFemale genital mutilation.â
According to Celia Dugger, the Timesâ Health and Science editor, âgenital cuttingâ was a âless culturally loadedâ term than âFGM.â
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a womanâs rights activist, has said, âIt is one thing to respect other cultures and religions, and quite another to turn a blind eye to cultural practices that violate the human rights of women and girls.â

I've already told you that I agree with you on that topic and that those who turn a blind eye to that are hypocrites.
We are simply arguing which is worse. Which is stupid. Because this thread isn't about mutilating infants in the name of religion; but it prominently features supporting a womanizing adulterer in the name of religion.

She said she could describe his junk if needed. She even said his junk.
I sure hope so. It was only inches from her face if her video performances are any indication.
