"Offensive" language is more important then hush money today

Post Reply New Topic

There have been two Trump stories in the last two days. The is the alleged "s**thole" comments that unless you have been really hyperfocused on your special interest you know about. Also the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump's lawyer paid a porn actress before the election to cover up Trump's 2006 extramarital affair with her.

If it happened it strains credulity that Trump's lawyer did it on his own. Trump or somebody close to Trump had to have ordered it. And it would have been collusion in an attempt to affect the election results. It probably was legal and probably would not have affected the results but still.

You cannot escape shitholegate, I watched NBC Nightly news, my local 11PM news and some cable news and heard nothing about the hush money story. Even here as of this writing Shitholegate 763 views "hush money" 20 views, Shitholegate wins the responses poll 142 to 2.


Why?
Why the Trump media does not want to talk about it is obvious. The rest of the media probably does not want to be reminded of Clinton's "bimbo eruptions"

The "s**thole" comments have has a witness, "hush money" is based on one newspaper(that newspaper is not the National Enquirer) reporting it. They may be reasons but IMHO they are not the main reasons. I see two main reasons for the massive discrepancy in interest.

If it happened it does not fit into the men as predators women as victims narrative because the woman would have consented both to the sex and to accepting the bribe.

SJW mentality is more mainstream then we care to admit. Being "offensive" or "racist" is considered the defining trait of a person by many today. Having an extramarital affair and paying to cover it up falls in the "we don't condone that but" category.
