Hypocrisy on the Stormy Daniels front

[T.Lex]

Lol, no I think you just have a bias against hookers.
I think prostitution should be legal and is an arrangement between two adults. One of the parts of that is silence by the prostitute. And that's what stormy daniels is. I'm sure there was some benefit to her for sleeping with him and I dont care what they worked out. Happens all the time.
If I was picked to be a juror for a hooker trial, I'm using jury notification because I believe the law making it illegal is wrong. That doesnt mean I use hookers.
I can still take my oath to my wife very serious and I do.

On the contrary, the other guy has a bias against hookers.

I'm a lawyer. What problem could I possibly have with hookers?

I added some as to why I think you feel the way you do. Maybe I'm off base but I've seen the attitude before on other issues.
"I'm a lawyer"
That wont get you any jury sympathy votes

Nothing in my post has anything to do with President Trump. It is a statement.

Do you also imagine that Post #644 has anything to do with the clintons?

Friend, you have me truly confused.

Post #644 was where I posted the new (to me) information that Cohen received money from a firm linked to a Russian oligarch (and, by the way, other influential entities with business interests involving the Trump administration). So... no. That didn't have anything to do with the Clintons.

You then brought up the Clintons in post #646. In a thread about Trump's association with a porn star. What am I missing?

My friend, you are 180 out of phase as to my opinion of prostitutes.

Politically, I align closer to you as to what contractual relations people should be allowed to have.

Socially, though, there is the reality that a percentage (we could probably debate how much) of women (and men) engaged in that would MUCH rather be doing something else. (Heck, that might apply to married couples, too.) In some contexts, prostitution is a mechanism that reduces humanity to its most depraved instincts and leverages that for financial gain. As a Christian, I believe we are all sinners, so a prostitute's sin isn't so much different than mine.

I think the people who say things like that reveal much about their character. And possibly the nature of certain contractual liaisons.

I had to get permission from my wife to follow Jenna Jameson on twitter...Seriously...There was no way I wasn't going to ask....

 

[printcraft]

Even lower than a husband that cheats on his pregnant wife with a prostitute?

It looks like you brought up Russians in a thread about President Trump and Stormy Daniels. However neither of them is Russian. Confusing, No?

ok fair enough I apologize for the improper assessment of you on this

 

[JettaKnight]

Is this to suppose to degrade her character? I mean, the woman sells sex, after all.

You do know who Cohen is, right? And what... services... he rendered?

Look, I'll admit I wasn't sure whether to put this in the Russian Entanglements thread, or one of the Mueller threads, or start a new one. (Well, that last option was pretty quickly ruled out.)

What we know is that Cohen paid the porn star with money that was reimbursed by Trump. News about what other entities paid Cohen for "services" made as much sense here as anywhere else on INGO IMHO. If you think it should go in a different thread, by all means cross post it.

 

[nonobaddog]

I don't consider sex a depraved instinct.

No problem. I await your confrontation with Trapper Jim.

You only get so many of those "permissions". You chose poorly.

 

[Trigger Time]

but I agree with his assessment. Prostitutes are supposed to keep their mouths shut. No scratch that, keep their pie holes shut. No scratch that.
They arent supposed to kiss and tell. There

What about the "lowest form of life" part?

And unless there's an NDA explicitly agreed to (which usually costs extra in business arrangements), then there's nothing preventing the subsequent disclosure.

ok yeah well we arent talking about high class business transactions here kinda just a long standing gentlemens agreement if you will. Like doctor patient confidentiality or lawyer client privilege
Without the paperwork lol.
I understood the "lowest form of life" reference to only apply to hookers that kiss and tell.
If he meant the profession as a whole then I would boldly disagree. Lawyers and politicians (some), would make my list way before hookers

Yes, it's temporary companionship that is supposed to be discrete.

When you invite them to the ball they are supposed to be gagged.

Loose lips sink ships and all that.

Still can't rep printcraft again yet

In a thread about hypocrisy, this is an interesting observation.

It appears Cohen gained knowledge of Trump through his associations. He then sold that information in 6-figure batches to anyone who would pay. (We don't have any indication that he ever declined to take on a customer for his consulting services. Perhaps importantly, there is no indication that these were legal services. In fact, I think those involved have been explicit that he performed no legal work for the money.)

A porn star gained knowledge of Trump through her associations. She now wants to sell that information for 6-figure payouts.

Yet she's vilified. Maybe Cohen will be, too, but I don't really see that right now.

 

[HoughMade]

So you're thinking that his wife has an objection to Trump doing what, apparently, Trump has always done?

Interesting. I hadn't even considered that possibility.
