Why are we talking about Donald's sex life

when Republicans refuse to stand up to the NRA, when DACA is almost dead, the WH is ridden with people that have been denied security clearances, when the poor are getting shafted, when Russia keeps killing our democracy thanks to Trump... Why should I give a damn about all the porn stars Trump has had sex with? If he used campaign money to silence them, then let's take care of that. However, let Melania and his kids question Trump in his roles as husband and father.

We are losing out country and they are using these stories to distract us. We live gossip and sex, so that's what we are getting as palliative care as we die...

the smallest "member" she has ever seen and that he is the worst in bed of any human living.

This will embarrass him and drive him to do even more harm to the world around him.

BTW, GOP and trump and NRA believe the answer to what just happened is more guns and less restrictions, not more restrictions.

Light of day, may actually and after continued exposure have some effect on those that only watch Fox News. Sex and disasters are the only thing that garners their attention away from Fox.

3. We like a good horror show: "Scream," "Amityville Horror," "Donald Trump Screwing a Porn Star."

The last one has audiences running from the theater to throw up and wash their eyes out with bleach.

Plus, they impeached Clinton for lying about a BJ.

Here are two scandals for them to digest and things for us to scream about. Impeach the serial adulterer.

9. At this point if someone isn't convinced Trump is a scumbag there's no hope to change them.

These stories do very little except hide the bigger ones like the gun massacre and the need for some basic gun control laws or Trump's money laundering with Russia.

every little drop raises the waters just a wee bit.

No one is forgetting about the rest of his crimes, but we are foraging around in the gutter hoping to find something, anything, that will stick with his ignorant fans.

BTW, Trump will never match JFK's record (in frequency or quality) but we didn't obsess over Marilyn, did we?

The GOP has adopted a number of policy positions which seek to erode the human rights of a number of groups based on holding up the mantle of "family values". Kinda hard to do that while simultaneously remaining mum on their anointed one's multiple affairs while newly wed to his third wife and an infant son at home. Remember that when the last one of these broke, the so-called "family values" wing of the party was quick to give him a "mulligan". It will be well worth reminding them of this the next time they try to deny the basic rights of other individuals from their self-designated moral high ground.

The WH has already denied this story. So if it is true, it's another example of Trump's lying and covering up his own bad behavior. It feeds the narrative that there's absolutely nothing presidential about him and no reason to trust him on anything.

The idea that the media or anyone else can't consider more than one story isn't a very good one.

Don't be distracted by the smut. There are far more important issues to discuss such as the recent indicments.
