Times, they are a a changin, literally between the umpteen accusations of molestation (unsued) & a life history of serial infidelities we are approaching Harvey Weinstein levels of predation. He's losing women voters daily. You really shouldn't conflate infidelity with predation. We know that Trumpy is a genuine sex pest from his own admissions of ogling the young girls in the beauty pageant changing rooms; and we have lots of actual accusations that should make us suspicious of worse. But the Stormy stuff is just some consensual (icky) sex, and nothing to do with the rest of us apart from on as gossip. |

The hush money is not nothing

Yeah, the hush money might be a big deal; and there's all kinds of weird and dodgy things related to that. But the actual sex part of this story seems to be being over-played.

The only interesting thing about the sex side is just how little the far right family value moral zealot evangelicals are showing what massive massive hypocrites they are by continuing to support him

I don't know any Evangelical who ever thought Trump was a saint, only that he supports them, Whatever he may have done with this woman don't change that
By the way, even if true she wasn't a intern or any one that worked for him, don't seem to be rape, he wouldn't be the first President who liked the HO's

The evangelicals always claimed that adultery was disqualifying, until they found an adulterer on their side. That's the hypocrisy. They've known all along that Trump was a philandering adulterer, but suddenly didn't care about it once he became the Republican candidate.
You're right on the second sentence, though. Actually shagging Stormy is less of a story than Clinton-Lewinsky was.
I just hope that this means the Republican coalition have finally grown up, and accept that people have sex not just in a marriage for procreation, and that it's not a bad thing.

Any way he's now suing her for $20m. |

How undignified. Not really presidential material is he.

McMaster gone, too. That's the second of the four generals who were keeping a (sane?) eye on Trump, stopping him from going completely bonkers.
He's being replaced by John Bolton.
No, really.
So, the national security adviser will want the US to go to war with everyone.
Bonkers.

Yeah. If there was ever a time to stockpile bottled water and cans of baked beans, and move to a small island in the middle of the ocean, now is it.

A weird thread is running through these firings, Tilly blasts Putin, next day he's fired, McMaster blasts Putin last week, today he's fired. Meanwhile Trump felates Putin about his win (sic).

President Trump reportedly considered firing chief of staff John Kelly earlier this month and fulfilling the duties himself rather than naming a replacement. NBC News reported Thursday that Trump suggested to others outside the White House that he would leave the chief of staff position open. He would then receive direct reports from a handful of top aides, in a set-up that would resemble how he operated the Trump Organization. thehill.com/homenews/administration/379867-trump-considered-ousting-kelly-and-serving-as-his-own-chief-of-staffhe's moving towards full on tin pot banana republic(an). |

So, Stormy Daniels is on a tell all 60 minutes special Sunday evening, we should start a pool guessing who Snowflake will fire or even pardon so everyone covers that instead.
I go with Kelly.
