(44,738 posts)Isnt there an executive order banning that? Does SEXDEF trump the POTUS. I guess this scenario has been screened and approved by Pirro and Watters.

(13,003 posts)don't know any other way........esp Republican Women.............
The Republican Men grew up watching Newt Gingrich.........They wear infidelity like a patch on their arms......
Years ago, our Republican Governor had not just ONE child out of wedlock while he was married and in office, but he had TWO children out of wedlock while he was married and in office, with two separate women, no less..........
His wife was okay with it the first time????, but when he fathered the second illegitimate child, she finally divorced him before he left office....

(114,684 posts)and I'm talking espionage for sex, assault, blackmail, rape, and abuse of children, among other even less savory things, most of us believe sex between consenting adults, even working one's way to the top (which works less well than it used to) should be left between those consenting adults.
I don't care which fools were dumb enough to jump into bed with this asshole. I do care that hehas no fucking concept of how or why classified information is kept classified. That's why he's got to go.

other than the fact hes a high ranking official
this is about how society holds women to different standards. IF HE WERE A SHE, how would these facts be discussed?

(114,684 posts)Everybody else is human and whatever goes on between consenting adults should be private, no matter how transactional their motives might be.
There is a huge gap between distasteful and illegal.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
