Tue Mar 31, 2026, 07:01 PM

His fetish was '3000cc-plus boobs,' according to one of the models who communicated extensively with Bryon and agreed to describe their conversations to the Daily Mail.

That's a reference to custom-made XXL implants that can hold more than 3000 cubic centimeters of saline per breast – far greater than surgeons typically recommend.

You know, the ones that are hellbent on passing laws to impose their beliefs on people who don't share those beliefs.

If a Christian doesn't support passing such laws, I don't really care what they get worked up about.

Need to start pushing their beliefs and letting others know that the Christo fascist don't speak for the majority.
Unless they do. Since a majority of the Christian vote has seemed to go GOP and Trump for quite some time.

I too am having trouble separating the good believers of the God of Abraham and the vocal 'leadership'.

Is the concept a new one for you, lol?
I'm guessing it is, as you'd otherwise know those identifying as "Christians" aren't a monolithic group, but one comprised of many denominations that can differ substantively on certain issues.

That said, there's at least one prominent Christian leader, Pope Leo IV, who's been quite critical of Trump's regime, most recently on their war and immigration policies.

Husband should sue the f*ck out of her for the pain and suffering and humiliation she has caused him which drove him to his cross-dressing fetish.

We're learning about this NOW, but THEY knew it years ago ... probably even before Chump's 2nd term. It explains why Kristi never talked about Chump's terrible job as President or as her boss, since he was holding the blackmail info and photos of her hubby.

Not that I feel one ounce of sorrow for her, but now that we know the truth it makes a little more sense.

I could care less what he does in his spare time. There are many cross dressers in this country. We live in America. The land of the free. I do find it funny that it's Noems hubby, though. And then, if she did know, she must be very toopid to think that this would never get out. Wasn't Noem and her family vetted? I'd say no. Just like all the other morons he hired.

Try this in the middle east and see how far it gets you. Or how about North Korea.

Which, if I understood correctly, is the desire to be turned into a "bimbo." He apparently shared details about his marriage (and his wife's affair) with fetish models, which is a potential national security nightmare.

It would be their own business - except that this has (had?) the potential to lead to blackmail against one of the most highly placed (if incompetent) leaders in our Government. I always feel like I need to take a shower after reading about the personal lives of the people in Trump’s orbit.
