they say money is a great aphrodisiac He’s not the only old, ugly, fat guy with a younger sexy wife or girlfriend. Harvey Weinstein was another example, he is 66 and his ex wife is 42 . ---

If I was a female, I would find him gross and would be unable to suppress my gag reflex long enough to service him. Is being rich (or at least appearing to be rich) enough to make women able to do things with such an unattractive, unintelligent, inarticulate, boorish piece of crap? You have heard of the concept of “rich guys get hot chicks” right? ---

They have a management team that actually runs the hotel but the wife and her daughter don’t do much besides pick out interior design stuff like drapes , carpets, etc. this is the place [https://www.theumstead.com/](https://www.theumstead.com/) ---

And…apparently the arrest of Stormy Daniels[was a set-up](http://thefayetteadvocate.com/2018/07/25/whistleblower-provides-emails-that-show-stormy-daniels-arrest-was-pre-planned/)… I’m super surprised. Is anyone else super surprised? ---

Michael Cohen agrees to terminate the 2016 hush agreement with Stormy Daniels. Cohen is requesting that Daniels repay the $130K. Michael Avenatti, apparently surprised by the move, said his “first guess” was that Cohen was trying to avoid having to be deposed, or Trump having to be deposed. However, since Cohen seems to have flipped on Trump, it seems unlikely to me that this maneuver is intended to keep Trump out of a deposition. If the Daniels lawsuit was originally intended to get Daniels released from the hush agreement, and Cohen is now agreeing to release her, doesn’t that kind of take the wind out of the lawsuit? Did Avenatti just “win” a fight that he wanted to drag out for a while longer? If the lawsuit is over, no one is putting a camera in front of Avenatti anymore. And I say this as an admirer of Avenatti. Here’s the tweet about the news from a CNN reporter: [https://twitter.com/mj\_lee/status/1038243657852309504?s=19](https://twitter.com/mj_lee/status/1038243657852309504?s=19) ---

Seems to me if they tear up the agreement, then the $130,000 was simply a gift for being such a good citizen. ---

If Cohen has flipped on Trump is he still a proper representative for him on this matter? Should it be clear that the offer to terminate comes from Trump himself? Or at least that he agrees to it?" ---
