I'd call it white knighting.

Actually, a prostitute who blackmails her clients is a pretty low creature.

The virtue signalling is strong with this one. So a president who brags about sexual assault, that's just fine; but a porn star who gets paid hush money for her affair, she's a 'pretty low creature' and a 'prostitute'?

Do you even understand the meaning of the words you use? How is any of that virtue signalling? Is making use of the services a prostitute offers confidentially a virtue?

As opposed to real estate tycoon who's willing to do anything to make a buck?

Don't get me started on those, maybe the tycoons are a hair's breadth higher on the moral ladder, but the real estate agents are all whores too, ditto insurance salesmen, ditto lawyers and well, actual whores are whores. Who knew.

I'd say that conspicuous, hypocritical moral censure is a form of virtue signaling.

Finally something we agree on :D

Nobody censured her for her choices. They're simply saying that her choices indicate that her word may be less than reliable. And for some reason that set some people off like it was an episode of Days of Our Lives.

Firstly, yes they are. Nick333 called her a 'low person', and NBFTW called her a 'prossie'. Those are both denigrating character assassinations. Secondly, why does it make her word less than reliable? It's certainly corroborated with plenty of evidence. What do you think Trump's lawyer paid all that money to her for?

A prossie is what she is, and Nick confined his characterisation to blackmailing prostitutes.

Those are both denigrating character assassinations.

Wrong.

You'd have to ask them. I don't really care either way. Imo, Trump should have Trumpeted how he left her in spasms of breathless ecstacy because of the sheer virility of his manly hip thrusts.

Stating a fact is now a denigration? :crylaugh: ... Prossie, short for prostitute, a word that means someone who is paid for sex. Simple fact.

As to why it matters? Oh I dunno, why does the court automatically view the testimony of a drug dealer with suspicion? Why is blackmail against the law at all? Rightly or wrongly we live in a society where we question the character of someone who has demonstrated they'll do anything for money. Telling a lie is nothing compared to what you'll see her do on pornhub ...

Is she willing to screw people out of their hard earned money with a fake university..?

I see no reason to believe otherwise. I'm pretty sure she would if she could, in fact, given her dodgy morals.

People who have sex with other people for money are by definition prostitutes.

What virtue am I signalling exactly? That I think blackmail is wrong? Such a goody two shoes me.

Grabbing someone's genitals is only assault if the owner of the genitals doesn't want you to, BTW.

Pretty sure Trumps whole point is that the women in question would let one.
 
Why are there effectively two Trump threads now, anyway?

One has a completely sanitised list of sources, it seems. Even my posts that sourced quotes from Fox News were deleted. So I post my news articles in the other thread, now, and will continue to do so until the mods clarify my query in the fake news thread.

Personally, I think this thread should just be left to become the circle-jerk the looney lefties want it to be. I think it will be more fun to watch Obama's impending indictment unfold in the old thread. :p
 
I have no idea what cerebus and rietrot are saying, i'm not asking to open new threads.

This thread is for the "Democrats can't do anything wrong captain" snowflakes. We just need another one for the Reptard snowflakes. And a normal one for the rest.

One is being for unverified and easily debunked crap and crackpot conspiracy theories that come out of Washington

You should read some of the stories, entertaining schit, but not really news so didn't belong to N&CA

All the people that are not partisan poepholle, making fun of the people still thinking the system they try to fix is fixable.

I still think Trump is the perfect wrecking ball, raining destruction upon both the Dems and the GOP in equal measure as he takes the reins of the country during his reign. :p
