There is still only the slightest whiff of a potential scandal with Trump over Stormy Daniels. At this point, it's still just a guy who (if all is believed) stepped out on his wife once to sleep with a porn star. And after the fact, his lawyer paid her $130,000 for a non-disclosure agreement to not publicly discuss it.

As I pointed out previously JFK slept with women who compromised national security. The one in 1941 was a German spy he discussed/bragged about top secret U.S. Navy information in bed with. Officers wanted to throw him out of the Navy and put him up on charges. But because of his family influence (his father Joseph Kennedy at roughly the time was U.S. ambassador to Britain, and later turned out to be a Nazi sympathizer, which ended his political career.)
There were (as I cited above) two other women involved with JFK, call girls, who were connected to high level German and Czech communist officials, the exposure of JFK liasons would have instantly ended his candidacy and his presidency.
In at least one case (as I cited above) the girl was paid cash for her silence.

What is alleged about Trump, if all were true, still doesn't come anywhere near that level of payoff, scandal, and national endangermant.

And Wilson. And Harding. And FDR, Eisenhower, LBJ, and Bush Sr., at the very least.
And of course, Clinton.

But --of course!-- you give a free pass to all these and hold Trump to a standard you would never hold any of these Democrats to. Because it isn't about right or wrong for you, or justice, it's just about whatever contrivance would allow your party to drive Trump out of office.

Meanwhile, there is a heap of evidence against Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and the wider DNC that no one in DOJ or FBI will even investigate. Even though there is clearly infinitely more there about Hillary and the DNC, than there is about Trump's one night dalliance with a porn star.
Not only do I think Hillary Clinton should be prosecuted (and Bill Clinton for his illicit meeting on the tarmac with Loretta Lynch to secure wife Hillary's dismissal of charges to let her run for president), but all the players I mentioned like James Comey, Rod Rosenstein, and Peter Strzok who falsified evidence and obstructed investigation of the REAL criminals, should also be prosecuted, for weaponizing law enforcement against the rival Republican party.



  • from Do Racists have lower IQ's...

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
