If it happened that way. ---

You elect people on the basis of who wears the best suit and tie. And then that guy fucks up. Do you get smarter? Do you even try to get smarter? Do you ever stop and think _“Maybe, I should put more thought into who I vote for. Maybe I should spend some time learning about the issues.

> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > I noted from the NY Times article that Stormy competes in eventing (judging by the photo of her on horseback), and that’s a sport that requires nerves of steel, quick decision-making, tight focus, good judgment, mental toughness, hard preparatory work, confidence without overconfidence, and just plain guts. It’s rare, but people do die on the cross-country course, or go the way of Christopher Reeve. So right there she’s way ahead of That Man. > > I also give her props for stepping back from competition to keep the circus away from that part of her world. Supposedly, this is her riding an event. Apparently, her current partner/hubby is one Glendon Crain thus the new last name. Don’t know anything about horses - is the engine front or back? - but she looks pretty competent out there.

Back to the topic at hand, if possible. While the interview brought no surprises, I thought that Anderson Cooper did an excellent job of not talking down to Daniels or implying that she is somehow not credible because of what she does for a living. The follow-on piece with Trevor Potter was far more interesting, as he made a case that the payment to Daniels violated campaign rules. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Do you really think she knew he was as creepy as he is? She might have been blinded by all the gold flash and money. She appears to be a little dumb. She has to know by now, but 12 or 13 years ago when they married, not so much. Sad. Two words: Gold digger. For her, it was mission success. For Trump, the price was right for the offer. Don’t go looking for love in all the wrong places. ---

I also don’t care what you think words mean, they actually have definitions. In this case: Interact (verb) To communicate with or react to. Which is what you are did. So yes, “defending” yourself is still a form of interaction, which means your previous statement is still a lie. And for the part that really bothers me, shove your I-wanna-be-a-junior-mod shit up your ass and quit fucking telling other people what to do. I don’t care if you respond to me again, I will continue to post what I feel like. That will include calling you a moron when you post moronic things. I will continue to do so as long as I wish to, and if you don’t like that you are free to not read my posts, just like you keep insisting everyone else can skip reading yours. And finally, if you want to have conversations without other posters “calling names” and “being a juvenile jerk” than stay the fuck out of the pit you stupid mouth-breathing moron. ---

> [@cmyk](#): > > Oh yeh, I’m sure that’s it. Anime contacts. :rolleyes: Well, not anime contacts per se, but contacts that make her irises brighter and pupils larger. The mirrored ones really don’t fit the image she projects. But it could be medication, it could be nerves, it could be genetically large irises. It doesn’t HAVE to be drugs. Unless your assumption is that she is stupid enough to do a Sixty Minutes interview strung out - and there has been nothing to date that indicates that she’d be likely to do that. ---
