Oh noes (2), Angela Paxton is divorcing her husband for “biblical reasons”.

This is in the news. It is in Newsweek. This is not me wishing anything on anyone. This is not Thursday Night Sushi. That said, didn’t Trump say that he was bringing good paying jobs back to America?

> [@Horatius](#): > > Adultery? Pish tosh, that’s ‘just what men do!’ In biblical times, didn’t men have to have sex with someone’s wife to be committing adultery, even if he was married? If she wasn’t married to someone else, it was just fornication. Not sure where I got that. Feel free to correct. ---

I think it’s triggered by a Trump reference in the picture caption or in the “alt” tag describing the picture. If his face just happens to be in the picture it unfortunately doesn’t seem to work. 🙁 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-perfectly-reasonable-amount-of-schadenfreude-about-things-happening-to-trump-his-enablers-part-3/1013175.md?page=65) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-perfectly-reasonable-amount-of-schadenfreude-about-things-happening-to-trump-his-enablers-part-3/1013175.md?page=67)
