What’s your opinion on the slut who received $230k for a blowjob? Receiver shouldn’t be treated any holier than the payer, no?

The hell are you even talking about? Neither giving, receiving, paying for, nor being paid for a blowjob are the problem. Paying $230k for a momentary indulgence while simultaneously defaulting on other obligations is the problem.

Sure, criticize the woman for charging people for sex rather than the absolute chump who paid a quarter of a million dollars to hide the fact that he got his pee-pee sucked. That sure sounds like the type of smooth brain deflection a trump supporter would try, but the rest of us ain’t stupid or bigoted enough to fall for it.

Man did you miss the point. Here let me reword the statement to see if you get it this way:

“What would you expect after paying $230K for a fucking hamburger? How many times do you think he did that?”

Would you consider spending $230k on a single hamburger a savvy financial decision? Now imagine what you look like when you reply with:

“What’s your opinion on the restaurant who received $230k for a hamburger. Receiver shouldn’t be treated any holier than the payer, no?”

She seems very fiscally responsible and leveraged her skills into being overpaid for what she’s good at. Sounds like she did good. I’m proud of her.

Jesus fucking christ. Is this a real opinion? Like, not only is this the thought that came to your mind, but after going through the cognitive filter, you decided this is both an accurate and acceptable thing to say?

Reconsider your values and the harm/benefits they bring. You need help.

Higher than my opinion of a born-rich never-worked-a-day-in-his-life conman who has to pay for sex.

Oh my sweet summer child.

There’s actually fairly few people who wouldn’t blow someone for $230k given the opportunity. There are however very few people who have been paid $230k for a blow.

I have mad respect for someone who can secure that kind of money for someone everyone else does for free.

You can call her a slut if that makes you feel better about yourself but I suspect that you’re really just envious of someone who is that desirable - I know I am.

She got paid $230k to suck him off, while you would do it for free. I respect her more than I would respect you.

Wow… what makes her more of a slut than Trump paying for it while married? (Looking at your profile, all your comments and posts have negative scores so I’m assuming you are just another troll)

No, using money stolen from your campaign to pay for it. And that besides the fact Trump is a sex offender as a matter of fact (eg Carrol). But even if it was not completely consensual, Ms Daniels would have no credibility in the US. So taking a payout was the best she could hope for.

The coverup is what gets them usually. And also here. Look at the hush money charges.

My opinion is she was the smartest person in the room while giving said blow job. $230k for 30 seconds of work. You’d clearly do the same thing for 1% of that amount

I think I’m in the wrong business. How long does a BJ take? Like max 15 minutes, probably less once I get some more experience. I would just have to work one afternoon then be set for the year.

he’s a sad sack and she got a quarter million dollars for 2 minutes’ work, 5 if you count how long it took to find it underneath his hamberder belly. this isn’t a moral judgment, it’s just about his utter grossness.

The meat:

“Having argued to the jury that President Trump has great financial resources, Plaintiff is in no position to contradict herself now and contend that she requires the protection of a bond during the brief period while post-trial motions are pending,” he huffs. “This fact nullifies risk to the judgment creditor and weighs heavily in favor of an unsecured stay.”

Only problem with that is that it’s not Plaintiff who is requiring a bond pending appeal. It is the United States of America.

What bullshit mental gymnastics of an argument. “I am above the law” is how it reads.

So basically what he is saying is that he wants social security (as in GoFundMe, sponsors and such). So we should call him what he is. A socialist. I bet his clan will love that.

You mean the judgement that he has to start paying this week? The one which I’m pretty sure he hasn’t even filled a boneless appeal in.

Not to mention he already posted the 5M+ bond to appeal the other Carroll defamation ruling. If he’s too rich to have to secure his judgement, why’d he do that?

This waste gets up and complains about the 2 tiered justice system and says he’s a victim of it, yet he’s trying to create a tier just for himself.

He didn’t post a $5M Bond. He put up cash. Makes you wonder if the companies that provide bonds may consider him to risky to bond.

Largely because of this. Someone took it upon themselves to edit the law, and it wasn’t noticed by anyone that cared to actually enforce the law for almost 140 years.

If that law were enforced fully, no one would have immunity from prosecution. Period. End of sentence. Not even a Sitting President. That’s why we have a VP, and a chain of Command.
