"We knew Donald Trump was a playboy when we voted for him."

That's the pat answer I hear when the topic of Stormy Daniels comes up. They go on to say they like that he's "right up front about it", unlike Clinton presumably, though I don't get that part.

Now I'll have to hear "we knew Donald Trump was a filthy liar, that's why he's the greatest president ever". I'm sure they'll add that "he's only lying to troll you snowflake liberals", like he has nothing more important to do. hahahaha

I can't freakin' wait.

How nice to hear from you. I've been doing great. Therapy for my COPD has brought me back a long way from the walking dead and I've been pretty active in this fleeting NE Ohio summer. It's too hot to stay indoors anyway, but I've been working on mine and SampleGirl's Triumphs. There's a big Brit car show Saturday near Cleveland. We're like the Sonny & Cher of classic British sports cars. She can't sing and I'm brain dead. hahaha

I hope you're doing well yourself. Try to find perspective to maintain your sense of humor and well being. There are more important things in life besides watching the county swirl around the toilet bowl. My neck gets sore.

Assuming you may like Mini Coopers, Jaguars, and Aston Martins. It'll be a co-op of three major Cleveland area British Car clubs. There will be a lot of expensive classics there. I may not even wash mine so it looks like I don't care.

I'll try to get some pix up in the group Sunday. I'll cross them with the auto group.

of models that have that special year where the "it" styling for that model came out - and that can be a not-so-old car - but really set the standard for that model.

And where there's a Bentley there can be a Maybach.

I live in the back of beyond, so don't go all "It's Cleveland" to me.

There are very old tractors here and the parish has tractor shows. Has to be parish wide since most of the towns have fewer than 4k people in them. Some less than 2k.

But the truly old tractors are fairly cool.

It's not like the fact he is a lying, adulterous, cheating, racist, misogynist, fraud was a secret. Anyone who paid attention knew it.

I'm just grappling with the fact they all really did know this and it didn't matter. They voted for him anyway. They hate Hillary, immigrants and minorities THAT much.

While he and his date have a erotically-charged game of chess, a la "The Thomas Crown Affair." Calling him a "playboy" is like re-framing his rapacious, boasting about grabbing women into mere "locker-room talk."

45 is so damned crude and in the gutter, I doubt he ever put much effort or emotion into his affairs. Imagine that repulsive pig between the percales, sweating out his fast-food grease, and grunting like a
constipated yak.

Now, please excuse me while I go outside and spew.

Jul 2018

It was from a county republican women group mini rally. The women, who were 60+, were what I may call not very photogenic were asked about how they feel now after the Stormy weather. They mildly fawned about his prowess and poo pooed the news as unsurprising.

Trump would probably get thrown out of the Playboy club for stealing bunny ears.

The framing devices that they use to soften him into a “gee whiz, boys will be boys” kind of harmless, delayed adolescent who’s a little rough around the edges, but harmless and well-meaning.

Which, of course, is total load of b.s., when they would crucify a Democrat who dared to attempt even a mini-HO-scale version of any (take your pick) Trumpian blunders and social rudenesses. (Not to mention his overt racism and sexism, which are the load-bearing beams of 45’s entire act.)

The tonnage of excuse-making and downright hypocrisy necessary to keep him afloat is an absolute wonder.

playboys. he has never been with real famous women .

with Clinton women wanted to have sex with him for no other reason than just that. i think that's why a lot of republican men were jealous of clinton. they couldn't understand how there were women who wanted to have sex with him and didn't want or expect anything like money, jobs etc in return.

Before Trump decided to run, Dad would have thought he was crude, obtuse, and a joke.

But my father was a contrarian, an authoritarian, and a narcissist. (Birds of a feather . . . . ) My father was also taking his "marching orders" from FOX News.

Dad would have been 96 this year. He would have been greatly amused and entertained by the words and antics of Donald Trump. Especially the reaction of Democrats as Trump trolled them. Dad would have called it "genius". (Yeah, like Hitler was a genius.) He would have felt like he belonged to an elite club of Trump lovers. Not that he would have gone to rallies or identified with the Midwest or lower class of whites. OTOH, I can imagine Dad wearing a MAGA hat while watching FOX News from his Barka Lounger and having a great time.

My father would have been a proud Deplorable.

(As a matter of record, Dad was born and grew up in rural Pennsylvania. It was in his DNA.)

Come ON, folks! Prostitutes? Porn stars? Compromised European models? These women weren't screwing him for love. They weren't even screwing him because they think he's sexy. They're screwing him because he has money and power. The end.

AND...Dolt45 knew he was wrong. That's why he pays the women to STFU. That is, when intimidation proves insufficient.
