Ryan: I haven't put a second's thought into Stormy Daniels controversy

Source: The Hill




BY BRETT SAMUELS - 03/08/18 03:53 PM EST




Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Thursday said reports that President Trump’s lawyer paid adult film star Stormy Daniels “hush money” to keep quiet about an alleged affair between the two is “not on my radar screen.”

“I haven’t put a seconds of thought into this. It’s just not on my radar screen,” Ryan said when asked about the payment during an event in Atlanta to speak with Home Depot employees about the recently passed Republican tax law.

A reporter had pointed out to Ryan that Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) on Wednesday called the allegations of the payment to Daniels “a big deal.” Ryan was asked if he agreed with that assessment.

Sanford was the first Republican to publicly comment on the alleged affair since Daniels filed a lawsuit alleging a nondisclosure agreement with Trump is void. Sanford added that he believes Republicans would react differently if a Democrat had been accused of the same things.

what they think about the Stormy Daniels pay-off.

If the ministers say they don't know whether it is true or not, the reporters should hand them copies of Stormy Daniels' complaint from the California court WITH THE agreement attached.

I want to know what those ministers will say in response.

...thus pornography doesn't bother him at all.

Of course, at least Stormy doesn't get high school students shot with her type of porn in contrast to his gun porn, and Stormy is not selling her country to Putin as he is with his power porn, and Stormy isn't screwing the middle class as he is with his wealth porn.

He hasn't had a clear thought in his entire life, since he worships that brain dead woman Ayn Rand. Anyone who worships Ayn Rand past the time their acne has cleared up is clearly and totally incapable of having a thought about anything.

Because, you know, it's a bad thing! Of course, i'm not sure Paulie has ever given one second of thought to anything in his life, except the 8 months it took him to get through Atlas Shrugged.
