    Association based morality is a hell of a drug.

    Everything Kamala does is at best annoyingly misguided because she’s "one of them."

    Everything Trump does is at worst excusable because he’s "one of us."

    They don’t have principles, they believe the good people need to be protected and that the bad people need to be punished, and that what decides good from bad is who they are, not what they do.

    I blame the Calvinists. Fuckers pull predestination out of their rancid anuses and we’ve all been suffering for it since!

    Forget the right not shutting up about it. If Kamala did this the top headline not just on Fox News, but on CNN, would be: “Kamala Refuses to Answer Questions About Speculated Affair With Far Left Influencer” subheadline: “Democrats question fitness to continue campaign”

    Heck right now CNN’s doing more reporting on Emhoff’s affair from years before he met Kamala than they are on whatever Trump is doing with Loomer.

    Unfortunately Trump cheating is probably boosting his numbers with his base. Probably even the evangelicals. They believe in inequality, and Trump as their chosen Fuehrer is meant to have extra special rules.

    You’re correct, but you have to stop trying to hold people without morals or integrity to the standards of people with them. Frankly, they don’t care. Nobody cares about this because we already know what a scumbag Trump is. It would be a scandal for Kamala because our expectations are so much higher for her, a decent human being, than for Trump, a pile of fetid excrement in a human skin suit.

      They didn’t just have separate bedrooms in the White House; they slept on different floors.

      While I have no problem believing that, you are quoting an article which serves as advertisement to a book which was not out yet at the moment that article was published. That is pretty weak chain of “evidence”

        I did a quick search of ‘Trump and Melania separate bedrooms’ and went with the number one response.

        I’ve yet to see a report that in any way indicates they have anything like a cordial relationship.

          dagwood222 is fucking a sheep in their basement, since i haven’t yet seen any kind of proof saying otherwise.

          not really how it works, is it? you are making a claim and you need to back it up.

          or speculate however you want, just don’t pretend your “first thing that came out of google” is the proof.

            You’re hilarious.

            Here are a few things we know as facts.

            Melania was seen crying on Election night

            She refused to move into the White House.

            Trump cheated with Stormy Daniels while Melania was pregnant.

            They haven’t been seen together in months.

            But you got a chance to imagine some sheep fucking. Is that a big hobby of yours?

              Don’t be mad, i just went with the first link that came out of google, nothing i can do about its content 🤷‍♂️

              Also, please note you still haven’t provided any proof to the contrary.

                  Why are you such an insufferable twat?

                  oh, i am? sure, honey… are you this mad every time someone calls you out?

                  Do you think Donald and Melania have a meaningful, caring relationship? Be honest.

                  i don’t. what you don’t get is this is not about their relationship, but about the quality of the link you used to back up your story.

                  again, speculating is fine, but when you pretend you are adding a source and that source is “someone is suggesting that someone else will be suggesting something in a book coming out later”, that’s weak. next time you might want to pay better attention to what comes out of google before you use it as a proof for whatever you are saying.

                  and take notice you could have just said okey and be done with it, but you decided to start kicking around yourself. we have a saying for that: the longer you stir the shit, the more it stinks.

        For the first six months of his term they slept in different cities. She refused to leave NY for young Barron’s sake. I don’t usually bring minors into politics, but i just realized that Trump’s own son was apparently fine with not living in the same house as Daddy.

    I know we shouldn’t make memes of the orange man going down on Laura but if those meme did exist I think his fascist loving base would have a hard time processing a man going down on a woman

      I know a guy who won’t even go down on his wife cause “dicks have been in there”. Bro, you’re so scared of cock that you won’t go down? You realize she’s sucked dick too, right? Do you kiss her?

        By that logic, has he ever used a public restroom? Other men’s bare asses have touched the same toilet seat! Sometimes it’s still warm!

        Also, presumably, she showers. And going down on someone doesn’t usually involve diving headfirst inside; it’s really 99% on the surface. And you know he fucking loves blowjobs as if she needs to be ok with doing that, as if none of the same shit applies to him.

      That’s a fair point. It is the ticket hopelessly steeped in misogyny. Meme-ing that would probably bother them almost as much as “weird” does.

    How many wives have there actually been so far? I’m afraid I’ve lost track. I only vaguely remember that one of them apparently fell down the stairs and was then more or less buried on one of his golf courses for tax reasons.

      Okay. For elections pre-Trump you might twist my arm into half-assedly agreeing with you.

      But if you think that now you’re one of:

      1. A genuine idiot
      2. MAGA cultist
      3. Russian Propagandist

      This election isn’t about left vs. right, you have Dick Cheney endorsing Kamala. What it comes down to is traditional imperfect, semi-broken American democracy vs. a total corrupt kleptocracy were loyalty and favors to the leader is all that matters.
