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

[DiscombobulatedDiane]

I mean FFS!

Here you go, here's the tape of Trump & Cohen discussing the McDougal payment.

Exclusive: CNN obtains secret Trump-Cohen tape

Yes, I wonder why the leader of the free world potentially having an affair with and paying off a porn star is news worthy.
Why would anyone be interested in such a minor story I wonder??

this sounds more like it's about her career that is rattling op's cage. if stormy chose to do it that's HER choice but many women are forced into it and that's not choice.

I agree with you OP. I've no doubt that DT is an old sleazebag but the sight of the LW people fawning over this woman was a bit sickening. I don't judge what she does for a living at all but I don't believe all that stuff about her thinking about her daughter either.

It's the married man at fault, not the woman. She didn't make the marital vows that were broken. If anyone's not going to be given air time as a result...well, it should be him.

This. Absolutely.

Interesting that you disparage HER, but not him.

They could have a least rolled one out that had a small bit of credibility, no?

And out of her and him you think she’s the least credible?

Why are you judging her choice of career?

At least she’s honest about what she’s doing and why which is more than can be said for the piece of shit she’s showing up!

The best that Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, could come up with about Karen McDougal was that at least Trump was offering to buy up her story by cheque not cash!

So that's alright then.

But even that's not definitely true: from the tape, it sounds at least as likely that Trump wanted to pay by cash...

Oh, bless your little cotton socks.

Trump is a vile excuse for a human being. The fact that he's also trying to destroy the USA as he's taken down merely makes it worse.

This is what happen if men are never ever expected to deal with their mistakes.

You judge her on her career but not him on lying, bribery, threatening behaviour towards a woman and her child and having numerous affairs while regarding women as mere sex toys?
This woman fears for her life because of this freaking excuse for a man. And you are blaming her?

Hope its not too cold up there on your higher than high pedastal of moral righteousness.

Erm, who was married? Who broke their vows / commitments to their spouse? Who lied to the general public about whether or not they had the affair? What's wrong with being in porn movies? Why does being a porn star make their word less credible, than say a SAHM?

I honestly think he’s getting off lightly compared to Clinton. That story was top of the news for months. And Trump has a much more religious and conservative fan base.

What a weird OP. Since when is air time allocated on the basis of moral rectitude or marital fidelity? A lot of actors and musicians would be out of a job...

Oh, and the conversation about buying up Karen McDougal's story was also just before the election.

Women who judge women for being adult actresses or sex workers, do you also judge women who have ONS?

If not, why not? It’s the same thing. Just some are making money off it.

None of which they should be judged for I should add, whether they’re paid or not!

honestly think he’s getting off lightly compared to Clinton A man who seduced a young intern when he was the president. The two just don't compare.

Wow OP - I thought we were back in the nineties there! When the most powerful man in the world could take advantage of a young woman, and it was her fault, the trollop.

Surely you can see that things, and attitudes, have moved on.
I'm no fan of pornography either, but it doesn't mean Stormy Daniels's story is any less worth hearing.

I think she came across quite well.

OP if you want to judge anyone, I suggest you jude the POTUS... having sex with her whilst his wife was nursing their baby and then trying to pay her off with hush money.

They could have a least rolled one out that had a small bit of credibility, no?

She has plenty of credibility. There's more to her than meets the eye. 'Rolled one out'? You sound unpleasant.

And obviously, when we're talking about the lying, moral-free, ignorant, soulless, racist, sexist pig that is SCROTUS, then yep. I want to hear from her. I want her to talk and talk and talk, until that vile excuse for a man is buried in his various fuck ups and scandals.

Is there any evidence of the threats to her life and her child's? Makes a sordid story so much more dramatic doesn't it?

Only on MN will you get a defence of a woman who chooses to prostitute herself on film while raging that women like her are treated as sex toys .

Is there any evidence of the threats to her life and her child's?

What reason do you have for not believing her? Her job?

Still, the investigations into Michael Cohen triggered by his involvement with paying Stephanie Clifford have been very interesting indeed.

How Michael Cohen, Denied Job in White House, Was Seen as Its Gatekeeper
www.nytimes.com/2018/05/09/us/politics/michael-cohen-shell-company.html

Novartis, the Swiss drug maker, said it had paid Mr. Cohen $1.2 million after he approached the company early last year promising insights into Mr. Trump’s views on health care. AT&T, which has been pursuing a major corporate merger, said it had paid him $600,000 for advice on regulatory matters.

Both companies also disclosed that they had been contacted last November by investigators for the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, who is examining Russian interference in the 2016 election. Mr. Mueller’s team also questioned a Russian oligarch linked to another company, Columbus Nova, a New York-based investment firm, that had paid Mr. Cohen about $500,000 for consulting services last year, according to the financial records.

The payments were among transactions totaling $4.4 million that between October 2016 and January this year flowed through Essential Consultants L.L.C., the same shell company Mr. Cohen used to pay Ms. Clifford, better known as Stormy Daniels.

So much for draining the swamp...

Trump supporter pal? "The truth isn't the truth" and all that...

And only on MN will you get someone lambasting a woman because of what she chooses to do with her body instead of focusing on the other party who lies breaks the law and keeps kids apart from parents because they have the wrong colour passport

Oh wait no...im sorry...it was attitudes like that that got the moron elected in the first place

Sorry lovely are only virgins allowed to be mistreated now? Apologies didn't get the memo

Only on MN will you get a defence of a woman who chooses to prostitute herself on film while raging that women like her are treated as sex toys

No, women who are used as sex toys without consent. Key difference being consent.

Porn stars have the right not to be groped and assaulted you know. Their job isn’t an open invitation!

Only on MN do you find people with ridiculous archaic views like yours OP mostly because most are sensible enough not to air them publicly

You sound like you believe that all women working in the porn industry have made a free and positive choice to do so. Which is about as credible as your OP, really.
