    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!

        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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
