Seeing the same hypocrisy on conservative Facebook post on the same topic. All too quick to react posting  it's "Fake news" to the "who cares, if he had an affair" comments. Did we expect anything less when he was running way ahead in the primaries inspite of earlier stories of affairs, and all  the gaffes, ugly comments, and awful tweets he made. His supporters didn't care then and they don't care now.

Unfortunately, you're very right about that.

We've learned a lot about "conservatism" since 2016, haven't we?

All who name the name don't support the basic principles.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

I've actually thought about that.............. especially as I age.  :smokin:

Oh but this supporter DID care then.  I agonized long and hard over voting for the man.  I did not go into the voting booth blind and knew what I was getting.  Or thought I did.

In retrospect, I did not.  I am pleased with the choice I made as PDJT has not proven to be what I thought he would be.  I am actually pleased with the vast majority of PDJT’s first year.  Until he pleases the “TruCons!” By going hard left, I will continue to support him.

Wouldn’t I be the hypocrite to be clutching my pearls on my fainting couch to hear he had an affair in 2006 when we all knew he had an affair with Marla Maples?  I knew I was not getting a saint when I went into that voting booth.  What the man does for the country is vastly more important to me.

LOL.  If you are considering stepping up your game you couldn't find a better one to guide you to the darkside.

I'll keep that in mind, my friend!

Sort of a mentor, as it were?

If I don’t, you’ll have to find someone else to follow from thread to thread, pouting and nursing your grudge.  And getting your ass handed to you every time.

If there's anything to the story, it'd be less about the daliances a decade ago and more about the fact he has lawyers and acquaintances acting as bagmen in recent times to buy the silence of people with embarrassing or damaging information.

True.  Let them prove it if it is.  To think that Hillary, Obama, and the DNC wasted all that money paying for made-up BS so they could spy on him when all the time he was running around paying off 100s of women!

True.  I don’t see much of it here anyway.  Unfortunately, I have to go elsewhere to find the truth.

Bye-bye.  Watch the door doesn’t hit ya on the way out.

They really screwed up with the urination theme.  He's a notorious admitted germaphobe.  His best defense against it was "I'm too weird to be weird."

He left an old man bleeding on the floor at Mar-a-Lago because he thought it was "disgusting."  Why would anyone think he'd be into the dossier nonsense?

Funny thing that came to my mind...I don't have a clue about what Trump's and Melania's marriage is really about. Nor does anyone in reality.

For all we know he wanted a trophy wife and she wanted to live the life...Yeah, I know she wasn't poor, but she didn't have the amount of money he does. That may not be the case...but it's possible. So she may not care what he does. as long as he keeps it quiet.

I don’t think so.  I read/saw somewhere that he had to do some serious convincing to get her to even go out with him as she was leery.  But who really knows?  And after all we’ve had to deal with the previous eight years, does anybody truly care anymore?  I’m just grateful to have a First Lady that doesn’t have a penis.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
And you know this how??? 

The two dollar whore the WSJ interviewed for the story was a dem activist.  If some of you “TruCons!” here actually did some research prior to commenting upon every BS story posted here, you might gain some credibility.
By the precedent recently established in Alabama, the fact that someone is a Democrat activist apparently cannot be used to establish motive, nor discredit testimony, even based on altered documents which proved effall anyway, even in close proximity to an impending election.

"Fake but accurate" has been upgraded to 'just believe it because they want you to', and evidence otherwise (or refuted/tampered/proof of forgery) doesn't matter.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Funny thing I noticed about exotic dancers when I was dealing blackjack in a titty bar during a slow spell in the oil patch: While there were a few who strutted their stuff on the street (sometimes looking for 'dates'), most of the dancers left dressed in basic casual clothes, the sort that blended in so well, if I hadn't known them and what they did for a living, I would not have been able to sort them out of the crowd at the grocery store.

Any porn star who married money would never be able to live a normal life--the media microscope would ever be on that, the relationship (assuming it was a genuine personal and not just physical attraction) would never be able to shed that optic. Getting out of that limelight would require getting out of the limelight altogether. Anonymity would be the only chance to retire and live anything approaching a normal life afterwards.

 :thumbsup:  Especially the bold because it seems to me today too many folks are letting their dislike of Trump cloud their judgment of who their political enemy really is. It’s not this president. It is and always has been the democrat/Leftist enabling mass media.

Didn't you read this one? It is recycled from the Wall Street Journal with mystery people being the sources again.

More fake news from the fake media.

Yeah I read both, that's how I knew WSJ had a longer article.

They are just flinging poo at the glass and hoping some will stick. If the GOPe hadn't been holding it up there in Alabama, that would have slid off, too.
The desired results were achieved in Alabama. How many Liberals have 'suffered' for their revelations of impropriety, (and those were confessions)?
