I'm with you Wharold. I sure hope nobody politicizes this sex stuff like they did with Bill Clinton.

There is a difference between Biff and Clinton. Biff's transgressions occurred while he was a celebrity and away from the public responsibility. Clinton used his power and position to be involved with subordinate employees. Given today's climate and the #metoo movement, I can't believe how glossed over that very significant fact is.
Harvey Weinstein was just a celebrity and away from public responsibility.
Trump was dangling a job on the Apprentice out as bait.
I understand your desire to excuse and laud Biff while continuing to vilify Willie, but c’mon....these are are all remarkably similar...much more alike than they are different.
Really? I wasn't aware of the Apprentice as bait angle. That one is news to me. To me, one is about a private citizen having an affair 10 years ago and then becoming the president and the other is about the president having an affair while serving in the office. Those seem significantly different to me.
As for vilifying Clinton or Biff. I've stated many times that I don't care in either case. Just find it interesting that we treat them the same when to me they are pretty significantly different.
Harvey Weinstein masturbated in front of women without asking them and has assault charges coming. Trump got consensually spanked at a dinner where no one felt obligated to do anything. Stormy Daniels did what she did as a business opportunity.

A cigar in the trap in the people’s house with a young intern working directly for him during work hours. I doubt Clinton ever bought her dinner. I assume Hillary was in her office down the hall flicking lit cigarettes at the ss agents and sipping on room temperature vodka scribbling notes on Hillary care.
The other in a private hotel room with a woman who has sex for money.
Adultery is the only thing these two events have in common. I’ll even give Clinton a pass based on what was waiting for him under the blanket at night when he crawled into bed. Trump had a super model waiting on him so he gets a demerit on that one.
I guess you didn’t watch the interview last night either then. You might want to look into it.
Maybe you not being aware of the Apprentice as bait angle is why they seem singnificantly different to you, but not me.
Oh of course. No similarities at all. In fact, I think it's probably going to get the Mueller investigation disbanded, if not get Biff a third term.
Well... okay, Wharry. Forget the words "unprotected" and "infant at home" and "denial" and "campaign contribution" and... and...
If Melania doesn't care, I don't care. I really don't. Biff should be more careful though, assuming he's not fixed. Knock up a porn star and Melania may actually start caring a little bit.
Can you imagine these conversations with Biff?
Honee, you do sex weeth dem all?
They're pigs, Mel, totally disgusting pigs and I'm suing them.
You do sex weeth so meeny, Beef.
They're all lying. Lying whores. Whoring liars.
You still have de moneys though?
Mel, I'm one of the richest people in the world and I always use protection, and I'm telling you, I'm bigger than anybody you've ever had.
Money steel there?
Yes.
I love you Beef. You make dees women go away. American women gleedy.
Why would I watch it? I said I didn't care. I do find it ironic that those who have celebrated Clinton as one of our best president's though use this as an argument against Trump.
Well, I suggested it may be relevant to you seeing a big difference between the Clinton situation and the Trump situation. It probably would be relevant to your claim that they are bilgly different.
I treat the both the same with both Presidents. Cheating on your wife makes you (generic you) a poor human being, but doesn’t disqualify you from office, in my book.
And I agree, there are hypocrites that apply different standards for the respective Presidents....on both sides (anti-Clinton for him doing it and don’t care when it’s Trump....and vice versa).
The circumstances behind Paula Jones' accusations were completely different from agreed upon sex with a porn star.
Trump is still a despicable human being but it was consensual, which is still legal in America if I remember correctly.

A billionaire using "bait" to get a porn hoe in the sack? I'm on the side that both sides are lying to some degree and the media is just continuing it's onslaught of character assassination over one romp and Stormy is spicing it up. All of the sudden something that is as common as waking up in the morning and happened 8 or 9 years ago it's a big deal? I don't condone it, but people are acting like it just happened in the White House.
Fwiw, if a Republican starts losing the Ann Coulters and Mona Charans of the world -- and he's in trouble.
Coulter was one of his most vocal proponents.

I think there were several, even on this board, who were pissed at the spending bill and questioning him. Can't say I've ever seen a full blown lefty do the same with one of their's. You included.
When "lefties" elect someone as incompetent, criminal, lazy, and corrupt as this blossom of conservatism you'll have a functional equivalent.
Conservatism? That's funny. Just shows how bad HRC was, she couldn't even beat him.
