The left's brazen double standard on the Stormy Daniels story is apparent to everyone. Suddenly, claims of sexual activity with the president before he became president are relevant. In the years of President Bill Clinton, his critics were told to "grow up about sex" because "libido and leadership are linked." The public was lectured about Clinton's accusers being liars who were seeking fame and money, "trash for cash."
Meet porn star Stormy Daniels. First, she was paid $15,000 by In Touch magazine in 2011 to claim that she had sex with Donald Trump (the story wasn't published). Then, she was paid $130,000 in October 2016 to shut up and not claim to have had sex with Donald Trump. History turned to farce when Daniels appeared on "60 Minutes" to break her nondisclosure agreement and shamelessly claimed: "I have no reason to lie. You know, I'm not getting paid to be here."
The 2016 payment to Daniels is an obvious news story. (Any conservative claiming he wouldn't have demanded coverage of a Clinton crony paying off a porn star right before an election would be a liar.) But all this money also creates problems for her credibility. She is currently cashing in with strip-club gigs, and CBS cashed in with boffo ratings. CBS may not have paid for this interview, but both sides walked away with a payoff.
Before Trump was president, Daniels could demand six figures in return for her silence. After his election, she realized she could make fortunes more breaking that silence.
Liberals think the double standard here is that socially conservative people voted for Trump and now don't care about his sleazy treatment of his wives and children. They somehow missed that many socially conservative people voted for other candidates in the primaries because of his questionable behavior but ultimately supported him rather than accept the alternative -- her.
But put aside the conservative morality for a second. The media's current lamentation that we live in a "post-truth" world while they operate by the "Facts First" motto did not match the Daniels interview. These same networks refused to publish or air interviews for months when it was Clinton accusers Paula Jones or Juanita Broaddrick; they demanded claims be investigated and confirmed.
The "news" in this interview was the porn star's claim of being threatened in a parking lot in 2011. Did CBS investigate this until it was confirmed? No. Does she offer any proof? No. Can she even prove that this alleged bully allegedly worked for Trump? No. So why is it on television?
Our media also now claim to be solid members of the #MeToo movement, but everyone alive in the Clinton era knows the media didn't care about allegations of sexual harassment, or even rape, lodged against Bill Clinton.
Then we learned they didn't care about allegations of sexual harassment and assault when lodged against their own people in TV news.
It's shameless for "60 Minutes" to devote 26 minutes of airtime to a claim of consensual sex with (and alleged threats by) Donald Trump when it hasn't spared a minute since former CBS star Charlie Rose was exposed in November to discuss what he allegedly did to his female employees. And Rose did interviews on "60 Minutes" for years.
Staunch Trump-backing women appeared on CNN after the big Daniels interview to say this story is "all part of a media plot to bring down Donald Trump." That is an incontestable fact. For most journalists, political victory for liberals comes first. Facts do not.
For 20 years Democrats have been teaching us that the personal life styles of our elected leaders is private and not a consideration in determining the desirability of a candidate. Are we now supposed to relearn that this hard won lesson was wrong, or did it only apply to Democrat candidates?
“It’s shameless for “60 Minutes” to devote 26 minutes of airtime to a claim of consensual sex with (and alleged threats by) Donald Trump when it hasn’t spared a minute since former CBS star Charlie Rose was exposed in November to discuss what he allegedly did to his female employees. And Rose did interviews on “60 Minutes” for years.”
Which is precisely why people don’t trust the media, and thus why this story is going nowhere. It is purely a 26 minute promotional video for Stormy Daniels Inc.
How ironic that the homosexual gadfly and pervert Anderson Cooper is interviewing an overused porn star to somehow manufacture middle class America’s concern about an alleged garden-variety, one-on-one, heterosexual affair that happened 12 years ago.
Its like having Charles Manson do an expose about parking violations
Its why this whole propaganda exercise will fail.
If you go line by line...Stormy has roughly five facts. Somewhere along 2006/2007, she had some ‘relationship’ start up but readily admits to one single ‘romp’ over a eight month period. Then she got offered money to not say anything in the election period. That’s about it.
She has dilated eyes, and she might be doing some type of drug. Beyond that, it’s a three inch by five inch card story...with little else.
Sixty Minutes could really jack this up and bring in the ten women that Bill did....mostly never paying them off, but that would be a story that would be painful for Hillary.
Three letters: JFK
Two words: Teddy Kennedy
Two more words: Bill Clinton
Translation: We don’t care!
Wow - she looks pretty old in that picture. Quite a bit of mileage, as they say.
The drugs likely accelerated her aging as well probably.
WTF with non-disclosure agreement?
If she signed it that she would not disclose nothing about the subject, then that’s all is needed. There is no need for DJT or his lawyer to sign it, unless it is agreement that both will not disclose subject.
When one signs NDA, that’s what it means, you don’t disclose and only you need to sign.
Companies frequently use NDAs, no need for president of company to sign it too.
B!tch had fun, agreed to shut up about it, signed NDA, got some tip and now wants to destroy her spotless reputation???
Field Day and another attempt for shysters and media to attack DJT. What’s next? Bring back two scoops of ice cream and Russian dressing???
So true. It’s hilarious seeing the left defend JFK and Bubba by saying things such as they were better presidents than Trump and they CARED more about people even though they screwed around too. Their arguments are all full of the same stuff that flowed onto Dodger Stadium last night.
The mistresses of JFK while he was in office should be consistently reviewed when someone wants to talk about Stormy Daniels
Bill Clinton raised the bar. Not only was multiple sexual trysts acceptable behavior, it did not interfere with leading the country. he further expanded on that with several sexual trysts while president, including Monica Lewinski, Eleanor Mondale and Kathleen Wiley (Whom he tried to rape in the Oval Office). We were told this was none of our business. And Bill’s payout to Paula Jones for the rape went to court and Bill settled out of court for 850K. But the press scolded us for questioning it. We were told it was a private matter.
Am I disturbed by Trumps actions You bet. I don’t get how some guys just can’t control it. And I do know, having been a director for a large company how some women will come on to men in leadership. Keep it under control. Use your common sense. Act like an adult. So I don’t excuse either Bill or Donald. But the Democrats have already told us, and the LW Media has already lectured us, sex is a private matter. So, the press and the Democrats need to move on from this
Promo ?
I read she’s back on stage at Pittsburgh in a few weeks...
Remember when they had an interview with Larry Sinclair- Obama’s gay lover?
Me Neither.
BUT LET’S ASK ALL OVER!
You shouldn’t include Bill Clinton’s RAPES as ‘trysts’.
And even with Donald, he was forgiven but not excused — he gave it up (which was easier to believe since Melania was at stake).
Bathhouse Berry giving blow jobs in a gay brothel gets no coverage from the media. They didn’t treat Larry Sinclair like they did Stormy Pig. She was welcomed with open arms while Larry was attacked by the corrupt media.
This us just part of the plan to get Trump under oath and use anything he says as an impeachment basis.
This whole issue is about a whore/tramp trying to extort money. She belongs in prison. She would do well to remember Vince Foster.
I am sick of this fat boobed bimbo. Enough
As long as President Trump hasn’t slept with Hillary, I am good MAGA...
