(56,828 posts)I don't think Broidy is high profile enough to warrant a $1.6 million payout for any potential mistress and abortion.

(56,828 posts)I'm guessing that at least some evangelical/religious voters would have either stayed home or voted 3rd party instead of voting Trump.

All the evangelicals really care about is power so they can impose their beliefs on everybody. The ends justify the means. Trump will ask for forgiveness and be forgiven.

(4,483 posts)This sounded fishy from the beginning. There are plenty of high-profile Republicans in congress who've had embarrassing sexual misbehaviors made public who could have benefited from such a payout, but not this guy, who nobody's ever heard of. What difference if his reputation is ruined? Republicans have abandoned their congressional careers because of sexual issues, but Michael Cohen didn't bail them out. This was Trump's, no question in my mind.

(4,572 posts)Karen McDougal said he never wore condoms when she had sex with him, either.
I don't buy that he's a "notorious germaphobe" because of that little (pun intended) tidbit.
And when he said that his "Vietnam" was "dodging STVs", it makes me think he never uses protection.
And now I have to go buy a gallon of Brain Bleach. Excuse me.

Loved this paragraph:
"By a stroke of good fortune, Cohen already had a sex-scandal-with-an-adult-entertainer-hush-money-NDA template in his hard drive, since he had recently drafted at least one for Donald Trump. Indeed, Cohen didnt even bother to change the pseudonyms. (That economical use of attorney resources explained away what otherwise could have been a very awkward detail in the narrative.)"

(55,445 posts)twist themselves into pretzel knots trying to explain Trump paying a fling to have an abortion (which I'm wagering is only a matter of time before it is revealed)
Scarsdale
(9,426 posts)Graham already stated that sexual flings are nobody's business. I wonder if HE has had a few?

(2,166 posts)Then all one would have to do is look at the mouth. If it looks strange then its a Trump.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,676 posts)who is not a politician and apparently has never been interested in being one, pay that much money to cover up a fling with a Playmate, even if an abortion was involved? Maybe it was to keep his wife from taking him to the cleaners in a divorce, costing him even more than that; otherwise I can't think of a reason.
Maybe the money trail can be followed back to Trump. Did he, or the slush fund managed by Cohen, reimburse Broidy? Did Broidy ever pay anything out of pocket at all?

(25,111 posts)But as we know it, t-rump's supporters including the so called "Christian" evangelist will say "well that was then and here is now cause t-rump has been saved" bullshit and/or ain't no body's business unless you have a "D" by your name.
The hypocrisy. This pisses me off.

(11,841 posts)Its starting to look like all this stuff is leaking on purpose to divert attention from what trump is doing RIGHT NOW. Cohen's bank records, stormy, who got who pregnant. NONE of thats putting trump in an impeachment situation. Or a criminal charge. Unless its some jammed up shit like what happened to Clinton 20 yrs ago. Which results in him STILL being in office.
But I guess it is entertaining!!
