I hope the Crying 45 reveals more dirt and he might drag some people into the same shithole with him.

LPT: When paying hush money to a pornstar so she won't make fun of your weird dick or that you wanted her to pretend to be your daughter, make sure to ALWAYS use your own money to pay them off.

I’ll bet you $10 they were trying to claim tax relief on the money they used to pay the pornstar as well

His fans: "Wow! That could have been me!"

Wow, crazy

/quietly withdrawing presidential bid

I'll definitely keep this in mind, for all those porn stars that want to fuck me and keep quiet about it for affordable rates. I don't really think that's my thing, but I'm not a billionaire yet, so it can be hard to predict the future.

Yes, that is how laws are supposed to work.

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!

Everyone is making fun of the way this is phrased, with it's history. "Oh, if I can be caught with a pornstar, and falsify business documents in an attempt to influence the election, so can ANYONE!". That's the way everybody is mocking this quote, with the mockery being how out of touch he is from the real world.

But what's somehow being lost, and is even more insane, is that what he's actually saying is even worse.

He's saying "If I, donald trump, former (and in his mind future) president, and financially elite white male with power can be made held accountable for his crimes, than so can ANY OF YOU! If they can reach me, they can reach you with your crimes! Let's change their ability to prosecute me, and put things back in order, so I can protect you when they come for you............unless you're anything besides a rich white naturally born american citizen, in which case fuck you."

That's the extended full paraphrasement of what he's saying.........and in my mind it's even more batshit crazy than what everybody is actually mocking him for.

The idea that basically he, and his kind are at the top of the ladder, and it's a better ladder than anyone else. It's supposed to be an untouchable ladder, but they touched the guy at the top of the rotting ladder. They touched him 34 times. So now they can touch anyone.

That's his logic and it's insane to me.

He's sad that he isn't as high on the ladder as he thought

The headlines should not be hushmoney it should be financial fraud to influence the election.

The rich absolutely want to codify that they have a set of rules "worthy of their position" and the corporate media is being forced to tow that line.

Paying off pornstars is fine. You just can’t falsify business records for it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

Pornstars are legitimate entertainers that bring at least something positive to the society. Unlike Donald Trump.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 5 months ago

Former President Donald Trump has a dire warning for any American citizen who paid off a porn star with whom he or she had an extramarital affair and paid off as part of an NDA to keep it out of the news and failed to legally account for it during a bid for President appropriately: if HE can be found guilty for that, so can you!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Yeah that's what he's warning us about, it can happen to anyone!

Paying off porn stars by illegal methods in order to influence an election*

[–] [email protected] 63 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Such a waste of money. Remember, he has "the most loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, okay? It’s like incredible!"

He should have just let her talk. Such a sucker.

Unless you're running for president, you're probably safe, too.

I have a good relationship with my porn star.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Ugh.....I don't. I tried to see if she made any videos I hadn't seen before, found her twitter, and discovered she's a huge racist and trump thumper.

Now I feel icky knowing I jerked off to a woman who is so full of vile and hate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Just pump the devil out of her

I don't know mine yet, but I sure hope it'll be a woman.
