It's beyond me why a forum moderator has the reading comprehension of a dyslexic pangolin.

I said nothing about the sexual assault accusations about Trump, nor did I defend him from them. Jesus Christ, man, check some workbooks out of the library or something,
Name calling. Stay classy!

None of them were caught publicly when in office.

John F Kennedy, Warren Harding, Franklin D Roosevelt, and Bill Clinton all had affairs during their time in office that were known by the public and they did not have to resign (the closest would be the attempts to remove Clinton from office for perjury, but even that was technically for perjury, not for having an affair, and the attempt failed anyways).

And there were far more that people “knew” about, they just weren’t “blasted” in the media.

If one looks deep enough into presidential history, the number is FAR higher than 7.
But only one paid his girlfriends/pornstars hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep them quiet as part of a non disclosure agreement. Did he report the payoffs as campaign related expenses?

If you really believe what you just posted, I’m in awe. Others may not have paid “hundreds of thousands”, but hush money isn’t always cash, and he certainly isn’t the only one who has done so.

Stormy was paid off One month before his election.......I wonder what the law says about this or the Federal Election Commission which tracks all expenditures and donations to a campaign.

I wonder if he paid for it out of pocket so he could throw a middle finger in the face of all who want to know.

Ellen Rometsch, German Prostitute
The 27-year-old from East Germany was “an Elizabeth Taylor lookalike,” sources said, and had been a budding communist there before fleeing to the US. She ended up in a call-girl ring called the Quorum Club, located in a three-room suite at the Carroll Arms Hotel, just across the street from the new Senate Office Building. She attended naked pool parties at the White House in the spring of 1963 and on more than one occasion came to the residence explicitly to have sex with the president. In August of that year, Bobby Kennedy reportedly arranged for her to be deported, fearing what might leak to the press in advance of JFK’s upcoming campaign for re-election.

Trump’s lawyer may have committed “a colossal screw up” by speaking about Stormy Daniels
Trump’s lawyer may have created a legal quandary for the Trump campaign through his admission earlier this week

Donald Trump's lawyer may have made the president's legal predicament a whole lot worse by discussing a payment sent to porn star Stephanie "Stormy Daniels" Clifford during the 2016 presidential election.

On Friday, during a Yahoo News podcast called "Skulduggery," a former general counsel for the Federal Elections Commission described how Trump lawyer Michael Cohen may have made a significant strategic error by admitting to "facilitate" a payment to Stormy Daniels.

"If she [Stormy Daniels] comes out and says, 'They came to me and they said look, the election is in a couple of weeks, and we need you to be quiet before the election, and we don’t want this coming out,' then I think the Trump campaign has a real problem. I think they have to be very nervous about that," Lawrence Noble, who is now chief counsel for the Campaign Legal Center, told Yahoo News.

Noble also pointed out that Cohen's decision to go public about his role in the payment to Stormy Daniels was, at the very least, difficult to rationally explain.

"Why he went public I don’t know. If I was his lawyer, I would have told him, ‘Don’t do this," Noble told Yahoo News.

He later added, "This may have been a colossal screw up on his part."

When Cohen admitted to having helped pay Stormy Daniels — presumably to keep quiet about an alleged affair between herself and Trump, although that has not been confirmed — he did so in language that was incredibly cautious about the exact nature of his activities.
"I used my own personal funds to facilitate( so he only used his personal funds to "help" a transaction along) a payment of $130,000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford [Daniels' legal name]," Cohen said in his statement. "Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign(notice he doesn't say President Trump) was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed me for the payment, either directly or indirectly. The payment to Ms. Clifford was lawful, and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure by anyone."

America’s Horniest President
Warren G. Harding might have been a useless leader, but he sure could craft a sex scandal.


Last year the Library of Congress released a batch of letters Harding wrote to his longtime mistress, Carrie Fulton Phillips. The correspondence revealed that he and the Republican National Committee paid the woman $5,000 per month to stay silent about their affair while he was president. The letters weren’t mere declarations of love gone wrong—they were, as John Oliver memorably put it, “smutty f**k notes.” They contained such poetic gems as. “I love your poise/Of perfect thighs/When they hold me in paradise … /I love the rose/Your garden grows/Love seashell pink/That over it glows.” Phillips repeatedly admonished Harding for his lewd talk, but he couldn’t help himself: “I like to dream in loose, flowing garb, because I can dream more intently. And I did—to alarming release. I called your name aloud thrice, begging you to come,” he wrote the lady.


Five thousand dollars in 1920 is roughly 60,000 in today money and Harding's mistress was receiving that monthly.

You know what they say about history and repeating it...

JFK & FDR's affairs were not known by the public at large, just like they did no know about FDR using a wheelchair as much as he did, or JFK's Addison's disease. Did people know? Yes. Did the public at large, at least in those cases no. Cleveland did have a paternity case filed against him that was public knowledge and widely reported.

I guess they dredge up 55 YEAR OLD SHIT that nobody knew about as a way of saying all of TRUMP'S shit that we DO know about is a-ok.

I guess they made a simple correction to a false statement and you guys had to lose your fucking minds.

God forbid people try to keep discussions factual around here. You wanna write a letter to Santa and the Easter Bunny and complain about it?

We now live in an age where communication and news are shared with the touch of a button.
We are also now in an era, like it or not, when all the peccadillo's of the last 50 years can be flashed before your eyes.
In addition there is a new puritanical streak of righteousness sweeping parts of the nation - the PC.
We now expect those we have placed on pedestals to be worthy of that position, alas in many cases they are not and, the population hates to be disappointed in its gods.
This internet age has now given the world the tools to explore and examine.
So naturally there is anger when a pro life senator pays for an abortion or a president quick to embrace marriage is found to be lacking in being faithful.
Nowadays you live by the sword - or Twitter - and you die by the sword and Twitter.

Ok genius ...... you post something that validates my proposition that he paid OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET....... AFTER you so voiciferously state you want a committee to look into whether he used campaign funds.

So which is it? Are you a fool, or an idiot?

I don’t remember you bitching about the serial and proven rapist that served 2 terms.

Oh yea..... he was a democrat, and as such, a hero of the people.
