Apples and Oranges. He hasn't had an affair in office, and he hasn't come out and publically issued a statement regarding any of it. As I said, I didn't have an issue with Clinton having the affair. Did you miss that part?
And I’m sorry but if we are playing moral equivilency here- Husband #1: Going through a mid-life crisis, dealing with the stress of the presidency, and getting oral sex from a young admirer, and lying about it. Vs Husband #2: Having UNPROTECTED sex with a p*rn star weeks after my wife just gave birth to my son and lying about it, and paying hush money, and threatening the woman to stay quiet. If you are a wife of these two men, which would you be just a little more perturbed about?
Honestly? If Melania is surprised by her husband cheating then she is stupid. He bragged about cheating on his prior wives. He hooked up with you as a model and had you pose nude sprawled on his lavish things for a magazine to boost his ego. He would frequent a talk show where he would talk about women he’d like to bang or that he thought were good in bed, among them Lindsay Lohan and his own daughter. Sorry, but when you marry an old rich sleezeball with that resume you don’t get to cry about him cheating
I can make this easier for you.. both were wrong for cheating on their wives (and children). Both were wrong to lie about it. Clinton was rightly punished for doing it. trump should be punished as well. 'course, then you can also look at all of the other things trump has (and continues to do) that are outright wrong... and should be punished for.
If no one cares about his personal life, why did he go out of his way to pay a doorman to keep quiet about a child born out of wedlock as well as pay off multiple mistresses under a shell company using a fake name? Why did he never release his taxes, again? It’s obvious he has a massive system of payoffs, NDA’s, shell companies, mob lawyers, and minions at National Enquirer buying gossip on Trump only to keep the material from being published.
Which party is pro life and why? Which party is anti gay and why? Which party is always singing about family values? Which party want to put the ten commandments in various government buildings? Oh I know, they are all done by the Democrats.
I don't know of liberals who excused Clinton. Clinton wasn't a liberal president. I think most liberals suggested that investigating Clinton's affairs was a waste of money. Liberals, to my knowledge, didn't say it was okay for Clinton to lie under oath and commit perjury. Liberals, as far as I can tell, aren't complaining about Trump's affair. They are complaining about Trump using campaign funds illegally, lying about his payoffs, and about the hypocrisy of conservatives who bashed Clinton's behavior but excuse Trump's.
Clinton wasn't directly punished for his affair(s). He was punished for lying under oath. As much of a pig that Trump is, he should not be punished for having affairs. He should be punished if things related to those affairs broke laws.
But that’s my point about the moral equivilency arguments. He gets graded with a major curve in life because he’s Trump. He’s the president of the United States now, and you have to put his actions in a vacuum to realize just how horrible this person is. If it’s in a vacuum Husband A did X vs Husband B, or President A did X vs President B, and insert any of Trumps actions without the name Trump, it’s pretty stark.
No he shouldn’t be legally punished for just being a pig, but the Christian Right as a brand should be punished just like any company would be if they were pulling such a con. And there’s no indication that it hasn’t hurt their brand. Not sure about the specific data but I’d be willing to bet that since 2016 and earlier there is going to be a sharp decline in Americans that identity as Evangelical Christians. But yes I agree there certainly should be a separation of what is morally wrong vs what is legally wrong. Sure the Republican base wanted to impeach Clinton but the House wouldn’t have done it without a clear law being broken which is why I’m sure the Democratic House hopefully won’t impeach Trump (if they win the House back) unless law enforcement gives backing of specific laws that he broke.
Oh absolutely. The list of things to be disgusted by with Trump is so long that new stuff doesn't register. The jury would fall asleep before they could read through all the charges of the indictment against him as a human being. I just mean I don't feel bad for Melania. I've heard some people say they feel bad for her and I thought that's what you meant with the "husband a/husband b" thing. Melania knew what she was getting into when sold herself into this relationship.
I'm not clear on why I should care about Broidy. Is it a scandal when someone you've never heard of does something you don't care about?
Another big GOP supporter who had an out of wedlock pregnancy and then the subsequent abortion, The party of God Morality and Hypocrites strikes yet again.
Big republican fundraiser, a senior official for the republican National Committee (rNC), friend of Cohen, friend of trump, and the fact that the same guy that tried to "fix" trump's women affairs was also the guy that tried to "fix" Broidy's affair. Yea, it qualifies as a scandal...
