To wonder why the hell a Porn 'Star' who knowingly had sex with a married man is being given air time?

[DiscombobulatedDiane]

No evidence of any wrong doings...none at all😂😂😂

Got an excuse for this op?

[PerkingFaintly]

Yes, I noticed the OP's peculiar loss of interest, Spirited.

[EnthusiasmIsDisturbed]

I don’t care who a president/PM has a sexual relationship with

But this story just adds to the all the other stories and people shouldn’t question is this man for to be the president

Many came to the conclusion long ago I am hoping more will but I doubt it

[MargoLovebutter]

Good heavens are we saying that it wasn't all fake news and POTUS did actually pay women he'd shagged to keep quiet!!!!!!! Imagine.

[Dennishoppersocks]

It’s almost as though the OP knew what was coming...

[SpiritedLondon]

I seriously doubt the OP is going to want to comment now @Perkingfaintly

[PerkingFaintly]

And in a busy evening of news:

Trump ex-campaign chief Manafort guilty of multiple fraud charges
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45265676

Ex-Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort has been found guilty on eight charges of tax fraud, bank fraud and failing to disclose foreign banks accounts.
[...]
Manafort managed Mr Trump's presidential campaign for five months in 2016, and he was in charge when Mr Trump clinched the Republican party nomination.

^Last October, Manafort was charged by special counsel Robert Mueller, who was appointed by the Department of Justice to investigate alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
The Virginia trial was not connected to the US president, but instead dealt with Manafort's political consulting with pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine, largely predating his role with the Trump campaign.
The Ukrainian government found ledgers pledging more than $12m (£9.2m) in cash to Manafort for his advisory work with former President Viktor Yanukovych while he was in office, the New York Times reported.^

It was also alleged Manafort secretly worked for a Russian billionaire to aid Russian President Vladimir Putin's political goals in other parts of the former USSR. Manafort denied that allegation.

Well, look what just happened. How jolly timely.

Trump 'directed' hush money says his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45265546

US President Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen has pleaded guilty in a Manhattan court to violating campaign finance laws. He said he did so at the direction of "the candidate", for the "principal purpose of influencing [the] election". Mr Cohen's admission was related to hush money paid to Mr Trump's alleged mistresses.
[...]
Mr Trump has denied having any knowledge of pre-election payments to women alleging that they had affairs with him. On Tuesday, in a Manhattan courtroom, Mr Cohen effectively said the president is lying. The candidate, he said, had ordered the transactions - and then admitted that the undisclosed payments constituted a violation of campaign finance law.
[...]
In May, the president admitted he had reimbursed Mr Cohen for a payment he made to silence adult film actress Stormy Daniels about her alleged affair with Mr Trump just days before the election.

[DioneTheDiabolist]

Sorry for mixing you up and I'll pass on the goat story if it's not a happy one.

[Rufustheyawningreindeer]

dione

It was rebel

I don't remember it but im fairly positive its not a 'happy' story

[SpiritedLondon]

Still laughing at “ thick as mince”

Interesting how the OP is new but knows enough to trot out the “ only on Mumsnet” phrase that we all know and love.

[NotAnotherNoughtiesTune]

Because he's in a position of power and when you become in the public eye you will have your bad deeds show up eventually.

No ill feelings towards her I actually feel sorry for her having to get all that abuse from devotee Republicans.

It's not exactly unusual though for either Trump (pussygate) not Presidents (Bill Clinton?).

I

[DioneTheDiabolist]

Surgeon's wives, teachers, chihuahuas and great Danes! Then you mentioned a goat. I had to ask.

Is it a funny story that's going to make me happy?

[Rufustheyawningreindeer]

dione

Oh mate!!

Why did you ask!!!!

[DioneTheDiabolist]

What Goat Thread?

[Rufustheyawningreindeer]

Sadly thats probably true rebel

[RebelRogue]

@Rufustheyawningreindeer remember the goat thread? I'm sure there would still be some kind of mental gymnastics,doubt and bullshit. Even with a dog.

[scottishdiem]

Look. Evangelical Christian Backed President Pussy Grabber is a molester and serial cheater on his wives. He got the backing of people, not unlike the OP, who claim to have morals but then back an ethically and morally compromised candidate. The story gets coverage due to the hypocrisy of the man, the hypocrisy of his supports and definitely the hypocrisy of evangelical christians.

[Rufustheyawningreindeer]

Yep id agree with that dione

Im not sure a great dane would notice

[DioneTheDiabolist]

I think a chihuahua would be worse than a Great Dane.

[nocoolnamesleft]

It would seem that her career trajectory has been rather more honest and honourable than his.

[Rufustheyawningreindeer]

Well i think it would be worse if it was a dog

That's obviously my opinion

[RebelRogue]

What difference would it make if she was a school teacher?

He still cheated,lied,threatened,bribed and misused election funds. It doesn't matter if she's a porn star, a stanford wife or a chihuahua.

[BonnieF]

Wrong question, OP.

The correct question is ‘Why is a married man who has sex with porn stars President of the United States?’

[Rufustheyawningreindeer]

Aahhh well thats not quite how it was coming across

To me at least

Obviously you know her better
