Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said Sunday that President Trump’s alleged affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels will be his downfall if special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation isn’t.

“It seems that he’s identifying and picking up more and more women that he’s attacking. This is not only typical of him, this is what this con man does. He diverts attention from himself by attacking others,” Waters told MSNBC.

“But this business about Stormy is not going to go away,” she added. “If for some reason Mueller does not get him, Stormy will. So we know that this is going to go on.”

1. He is a con man and a traitor.

[Hortensis]

20. Yup, yup! Not to worry, Mueller already has Trump

on many things. We don't know if Trump has been tied directly to treasonous activities, or if that gang that doesn't know which end of the gun to hold somehow managed to keep Trump legally firewalled. Seems incredibly unlikely, doesn't it?

But in any case, Trump is a criminal and has a pattern of breaking significant laws even while president, and that can be proven many different ways. Question is, apres Mueller, le ...what?

28. "We don't know if Trump has been tied directly to treasonous activities" - au contraire!

Refusing to enforce the sanctions ties him directly to treason.

[Hortensis]

29. In my mind too. But maybe not in court. An executive

with the state department sent out a memo some months ago warning that no explanation could be found for the disastrous dismantling of our state department offices and withdrawal from involvements around the planet -- except treason. She didn't make the charge directly, but the memo was meant to sound an alarm and it was strongly implied.

Still, there's quite a pattern built up already just from what we know about.

Last summer our Sen. Kaine used the word about Jr's activities that we knew about, but mostly they seem to be standing back on this, not weakening the impact of traitorous activities in the public mind by many months of discussion before they can be acted on.

2. Oh snap.

3. Existential crisis. "get tRump" NOT sufficient. Must take out systemic corruption root & branch.

Mueller must go all the way.

The systemic corruption is mostly in the RepubliCONmen Party.

Most of the remaining systemic corruption is due to the pervasive powerful influence of money and a task that broad is beyond even Mueller. However if Mueller doesn't smash the mess surrounding Trump and polluting the GOP, then the broader task will be almost impossible.

7. The idea is to have multiple avenues so as not to get stuck at some dead end

The thing really gets going good when your own partners are squealing on you and are being attacked on multiple fronts from your own doing

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Can't argue against any of those points. . . . nt

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

15. Exactly...

... I have believed that and said so all along. Glad some of us can come to a consensus.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. LOL that is a real snap back at that fiend

He is just so evil, sadistic, he goaded her into this and she really punched back. Go get 'em, Maxine!

[7962]

5. She already "got" him. Ugh.

[leftyladyfrommo]

12. Yuk! She looks like she has better taste than that.

Was he ever appealing? He sure never was my type even when he was young and had hair.

[7962]

22. She said he was. I think its more likely the money and power that was attractive.

Like it or not, there are women out there who WILL go for a guy like that.
be it an athlete, entertainer, politician, businessman, etc, some will go after one of those and if he was an average Joe at the bar they'd never get a 2nd look

[leftyladyfrommo]

23. I suppose it's like guys who will put up

with anything if the girlfriend is beautiful. The status of being seen with a pretty woman is more important than having a really good relationship.

I think Trump is like that. Looks are that matters to him.

[7962]

24. I agree. Was just having this discussion the other day.

I wondered how these old rich guys really feel when they have the hot, much younger girlfriend/wife? Do they wonder if she's being faithful or if she's getting with some hot young guy around her age? or do they care more about having the arm candy to show off at the club?

And I'm not saying that younger women cant fall in love with a much older guy, but its highly unlikely that one with the looks of Stormy in '06 (or whatever yr it was) would pay ANY attention to a man of the same age making 40k a yr.

Looks matter to the old guy & cash matters to the young girl.

And again I'm GENERALIZING here, not saying they're ALL that way.

[leftyladyfrommo]

27. I was reading about Jackie Kennedy.

Her mother emphasized to her daughters that money was power and to go for the wealthy, powerful man for a husband. I think they just accepted that men in that category would have affairs. Just look the other way.

It said that Jackie was well aware that Jack had other women and she just accepted that. She hoped that once they had a family that he would become more of a family man.

I would never be able to accept that but obviously there are women who do.

[ehrnst]

6. I guess that Drumpfs IQ insult really shut her down didn't it?

He has no fucking clue who he's dealing with.

[christx30]

9. Where the hell are we as a country

where we have elected officials counting on a porn star to "get" the president of the Ubtied States?
I mean, yes, he's a rotten excuse of a human being and doesn't deserve the office he holds or any of the support he has. But it's important to step back and look at the rediculousness of it all.

[Kablooie]

10. Why does anyone think a sex scandal will damage him?

His base isn't affected by any kind of scandal so why would a tawdry sex scandal be different?

Even if disgusting pictures come out evangelicals have already said, "no one is perfect" and I expect them to continue.

[UpInArms]

16. I watched a panel discussion ... the CONservative argument was

tRumps’s immorality is already baked into his approval rating



These things that walk on two legs and talk out of both sides of their mouths are disgusting

[madville]

17. It was quite awhile ago as well

When Bill Clinton was actually cheating on Hillary with an intern in the Oval Office we all said that what happens between two consenting adults is their private business. I don't see why that changes just because it's Trump.

If the idea is that the settlement payment was somehow inappropriate, who knows, campaign finance infractions aren't typically impeachable offenses and their story will be that the lawyer did it on his own with his own money.

[2left4u]

18. 100%

Well said...we are falling into the hypocrite trap where any of our past leaders and candidates moral failures will be front page but again.

Focus on Russia and changing the Red to Blue...this is desperate shit for the educated party to pumping.

[Raine]

21. Agree

this kind of thing involving presidents and other elected officials has always gone on by members of both parties and the public generally shrugs it off.

[7962]

25. This time it is the RIGHT showing THEIR hypocrisy.

Especially those "Christian conservatives" who SO value the sanctity of marriage. between a man and a woman....

[Achilleaze]

11. republican role model Dirty Donny* is quite the skank

* aka Comrade Casino, republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

[leftyladyfrommo]

13. He is just plain slimy. nt

[duforsure]

14. trump's patterns

He'll next start claiming she's done something illegal to use to threaten her with, like he always does others, especially women.

[YOHABLO]

19. With all of the women who have come forth about Trumps sexual harassment,

why does it take an adult film star to take him down? Why is only now people are listening?

[Motley13]

26. Love the dynamic duo of Mueller/Stormy
