Dayum. Love this.

I really don’t care what Stormy Daniels does for a living. All these “and then America was saved by a porn star” memes are cute and all. But more fitting would be “and then America was saved by a woman who refused to be silenced by powerful men trying to intimidate her.” - Allison Floyd

Stormy's sex affair won't bring down the Republican party but the Russian political affairs will.

She is who she is a porn star and sex worker and isn't shy about saying so. No shaming will bring her down.

She's a Patriot, a true American and has 100 times the class Dump has.

I'm sure he didn't mean to be rude!

She paused and acknowledged the applause, but said her first line too early and it got covered by the noise also - skilled performers learn that you wait for laughter/applause to crest and begin subsiding before continuing.

You see major examples of that on the Carol Burnett Show - frequently they would say one or two words of a line and stop because the audience was so loud, and then start the line over. I don't know if Alec was sure he could count on her to say the line again.

I love that quote, too.

The whole mess? I have a very mixed bag of feelings about the entire thing.

The reason why Trump has reaped the whirlwind is that this is not someone that fears he will ruin her reputation, as some women probably have been. This is about a woman that does not fear him. Stormy's history is an open book. He has paid untold amounts to keep his sexual history secret.
If this were an isolated incident (the Daniels affair) does anyone really buy the idea that David Dennison would exist?

Don't think Trump is alone in this. It fully illustrates the lifestyles of many rich men in the last century....probably longer.
