She made the decision to sleep with a married man. She is just as guilty as he is regarding loyalty. Second of all she tried to capitalize after the fact. That is separate from what TFG did afterwards. What trump did was illegal. What Stormy did was sleazy. There, I said it.

How about “married men shouldn’t fuck around on their wives?”

I don’t think Stormy Daniels is an Angel. But she is serving our side’s goals well right now and for that alone I will give her some credit.

I heard she tried to sell her story to the Enquirer. Maybe they heard that since it was caught and killed. They offered her money to keep quiet.

By the way, the way you responded to my honest inquiry was rude. Note I did not reply in a like way. This is a friendly forum.

Stormy was just trying to shop her story about her and Trump, and when the media outlets she approached reached out to Trump for comment, he then approached her (via Cohen) to pay her to be quiet.

There are plenty of articles on the timeline of the hush money payment, and none of them describe her trying to blackmail Trump. They describe her trying to sell her very newsworthy story to media organizations and Trump squelching it. That is not blackmail, that's Trump committing a fraud upon the voters to hide the truth that they had a right to know about him, and that would very likely have cost him the 70k votes he won the electoral collage by. She was not paid that money "not to tell a man's wife" about an affair. She wasn't threatening to tell Melania. That is a false right wing talking point. This was Trump denying voters important, relevant truth about him.

Here's some links:

HE approached her, after he found out she was shopping her story around. That's not blackmail. That's him committing election fraud trying to keep important facts about him from the voters.

So who are these other "men" you are referring to that you claim she "blackmails."

Trump paid her $130k to keep quiet so he could help his election chances.


She's a porn actress and a sex worker. I find that much less disgusting than lawyers who prostitute their legal and intellectual skills to help scummy individuals subvert the law or help corporations pollute and hurt poor people. Stormy didn't hurt anyone. Trump did.

Lawyers for the rich and corporations use the fact that the poor can't afford attorneys in civil litigation to abuse the system. It's how Trump used lawyers his whole life, screwing contractors out of payment, delaying and driving up the costs of litigation until people would just give up. He needed scumbag lawyers to do that. Those lawyers are WAY worse than Stormy. She never hurt anyone.
