Trump is a Horrible Man and it’s Not Because He Screwed Stormy Daniels
Why did a vital expose of Trump’s status as an agent of Russia devolve into a tawdry, tacky, trivial investigation about Trump’s life with porn stars ?

Today’s leading news stories include reports about Stormy Daniels, the adult film star shtupped by Trump, and the Manhattan DA’s prosecution of Trump with respect to Stormy, and this is just another in a long line of examples of how liberal litigators make the left very unpopular and may give Trump the Whitehouse in 2024.
Of course, Trump is not being prosecuted for having sexual relations with Stormy Daniels. He is being prosecuted for election law reporting violations in connection with his pay off to stormy Daniels. Of course, most people don’t understand what those election law reporting violations consist of or why they are so relevant. Stormy simply means sex, and many or most Americans think Trump is being prosecuted for sex.
At this time in our history, our relations with Russia have never been worse, several banks have failed, environmental and demographic changes are making the risk of pandemics more likely than ever, and the Democrats are reminiscent of Jerry Falwell as they inveigh against Trump for his sexual transgressions. Of course, I have not heard a single Democrat or a single prosecutor attack Trump for being a philanderer, but that’s not what matters. What matters is how the story is covered in the media.
And when the media covers this story, they always state, within the first 10 seconds, that Stormy was an “adult film star,” and the television, or the more erudite boob tube, the internet feed, splashes a photo of Stormy looking gorgeously salacious and scintillating, and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Shmo from Peoria, Illinois, having had enough, start screaming at the television:
“First, you said Trump was working with the mob on construction projects. Then, you forgot about that and decided that he conspired with Russia to win the 2016 elections. Then, you forgot about that and you decided that Trump told Ukraine that unless they dug up dirt about Hunter Biden you would withhold aid Ukraine needed to defend itself against Russia. Then, you forgot about that, and you alleged that Trump fomented the January 6 coup de tat. Now, you are screaming about Stormy Daniels. You claim that this isn’t about sex, but I remember that when Dale Bumpers spoke in Defense of Bill Clinton during the much ado about nothing Monica Lewinsky affair, he said that when someone says it’s not about sex, it’s about sex.
Of course, Trump is guilty of all of the aforementioned misdeeds. The evidence is overwhelming and conclusive. But for some reason, which I have yet to conclusively decipher (but I have my strong suspicions), the Dems never seem to fucking win. They flit from one topic to another topic like a little boy with attention deficit disorder.
And now Dems seemed to be focused, like a lacerating laser, on Stormy Daniels.
Liberal litigators have done this before: In the early 70’s, Democrats lost millions of votes by screaming for something most people, including most black people and most white people, did not want: School Bussing.
Liberals were convinced that black children could not learn unless and until they got up an hour earlier than usual to be bussed to a school 30 miles away so they could sit next to a white child. Liberals wanted to bus black children into white neighborhoods, and bus white children into black neighborhoods, in enormous numbers until most of the children of America arrived at school very, very tired and slightly hung over from the carbon monoxide of bus fumes. (I don’t know about you, but I always feel groggy and stupid after riding on a bus.)
Bussing so outraged Americans that George Wallace, the foremost Southern Segregationist in American politics, won the Florida Democratic Presidential Primary of 1972, sweeping every county in the State including Dade County, the home of relatively liberal Miami. He won primarily by talking about essentially one thing: Bussing and his fervent intention to stop it:
Schools in black neighborhoods were often underserved, with fewer and older textbooks, more dilapidated facilities, and deficits in all the things that made a school effective. This problem should have been addressed with programs to enrich schools in black neighborhoods. Also, liberals should have addressed police brutality and the shortage of good-paying jobs for blacks. However, such a straightforward and sane approach just wouldn’t do for a misty-eyed affluent liberal who seemed to be more interested in putting blacks into white classrooms than in educating blacks to enable them to get into better universities and jobs.
In the autumn of 1972, millions of blacks did not vote, millions of white Democrats voted Republican and Richard Nixon won every state in the nation with the exception of Massachusetts.
The strongest charges against Trump include his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election and his work as an agent for Russia which entailed his misuse of Presidential Power to assist Russia instead of the United States. However, now liberal democrats may enfeeble a critical prosecution of an especially hideous man – a man who fomented a riot to negate an election, who kept a copy of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” next to his bed – by talking about relative bullshit in the form of Stormy Daniels – and Trump knows how much this irks his supporters and potential supporters and he is calling for protests (read: riots) on Tuesday when he will, allegedly, be arrested. And even if he is arrested, that will not necessarily cure anything. After all, his political blood brother, Adolf Hitler, was arrested at the time of the Beer Hall Putsch, and he eventually left prison and assumed power.
When I witness this country focusing on Stormy Daniels – the late-night comics finding it uproariously funny and many Americans deeming it evidence that our legal system, and its interminable twists and turns that never come to a conclusion, would best be replaced by something that Mussolini would have devised – I wonder if people have forgotten how traitorous Trump’s Russian association was. Doesn’t anyone remember some of the extraordinary mischief Trump is responsible for visa vis foreign policy.
For example, against the advice of all sane foreign policy advisors, Trump met with, and extravagantly praised, the ruler of North Korea. Did they stop their nuclear program ? Certainly not. However, we most certainly did stop our military’s training exercises with South Korea and Japan.
Also, Trump agreed to cede the entirety of Afghanistan to the Taliban, that gang of theocratic thieves and braggarts who gave solace and sanctuary to Osama Bin Ladin. Afghanistan was taken by the Taliban when Biden was president, but this is because Trump’s pledge to give Afghanistan to the Taliban was scheduled to take effect only after Biden was President. It was hard for Biden to stop the Taliban takeover because Trump had entered into an agreement with the Taliban formally ceding control of the country, and Presidents are not supposed to breach agreements. But, of course, Fox News, and other obfuscators and liars who are as objective as Hitler’s news services, have said that Afghanistan is under Taliban control for one reason: The Bidens, who of course are the height of iniquity because some news reports suggest that Hunter Biden smoked pot, drank whiskey and made money in Ukraine. Hell, the sons of all successful men live it up with whiskey, marijuana and undeserved business gains that came to them only because of their Fathers’ status.
Trump has been vulnerable to Russian attempts to control him, and has been under Russia’s thumb, for a long time. Most American creditors don’t want to lend Trump a dime because of his proclivity to make corporations, which he controls, declare bankruptcy. When they declare bankruptcy, they defeat the claims of creditors.
So what does Trump do ? I have read, in more than one respectable publication, that he has gotten money from Russia. To camouflage the transmission of Russian money to Trump, the money has been laundered through Deutschebank.
Hell, doesn’t anyone remember anything. Do you remember Paul Manafort, one of the managers of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign? He had been on the Russian payroll for ages. The Russians hid that from public view by sending money to Manafort’s creditors instead of Manafort. So Russia sent money to people who sold homes to Manafort, and one clothing store in New York got 1 million dollars, from Russia, to keep Paul well- dressed. Indeed, Trump’s very first national security advisor had gotten money – these were direct payments, not payments to the creditors of Trump aides – from both the Russian government and the Turkish government.
So what started as a vital expose of how Donald Trump was a de facto agent of Russia devolved into a tawdry, tacky, trivial investigation about porn stars.
