Vaguely remember the game - wow - 10 years ago, though bumped 5 years ago. Jesus Christ, I've been here for 14 years.

By the way, many trump supporters still view this kind of stuff as running the government like a business and related to draining the swamp, instead of the ridiculous buffoonery it is.

If that is your favourite thread in 15 years you have very seriously questionable taste.

For the record, I have no problem being ganged up on when I am correct and everyone else is completely incorrect, as in this case.

Also I can’t believe how bad faith the debate has been itt on this topic. I have literally posted MULTIPLE times that cheating is dishonest and I am not ok with. My point was that it has nothing to do with the ability of a politician to do her job.

This doesn’t stop several posters, completely knowingly, to post about how I’m totally good with infidelity. And you wonder why I point out trumpkin tendencies on some. It’s pure gaslighting.

P.S. The argument equating cheating on your taxes and cheating on your spouse is so galactically stupid that it doesn’t warrant a response. Every single person itt knows the clear and obvious differences.

You have yet to post your sources for more than 50% of people cheating.

It is not bad faith to say you find lying to your spouse immaterial to the character of an elected official.

Not many agree with you. I don't recall you giving any kind of reason why you think lying in personal relationships is OK in politicians, so you sound like you are covering for people who cheat on their spouses.

Every single person is a liar. There is not a single human alive who doesn’t lie. Not one. There are no exceptions. This is even more true of sex.

This standard for weeding out politicians is so idiotic, no sane person can really believe it.

You are imposing sexual morality. Period.

In b4 someone says I think lying is a-ok.

That doesn't make it right, nor does it make it something to strive for.

You can see with Trump what the end state of being OK with politicians lying is. How much of the world do you think takes anything he says at face value? Is that good or bad?

Pick a post a delete the other one.

If I don't condemn racism and say everyone is racist, every single person, can you not see how that could be construed as my supporting racism?

Can i call out the party who has preached and enacted laws favoring monogamy and marriage hypocritical when they slip?

... let's get real. Trump doesn't know what the hell is actually going on.

All he knows is brown people are still coming to the US (Fox tells him so anyway) and it's someone else's fault (because it's never his fault). He sees that a woman working for him and he's like, there is my weakness.

I posted hours ago a response to you. I didn’t post a specific source because I respect you enough to know you know the data, and can use google. Research on the topic is all over the place with ranges from 25-70%. Methodologies are all over the place and subject to the same serious limitations as all sex research.

I see no way in which failures in one sexual fidelity speak to a persons ability to be a politician except in the most broad way that it means they were dishonest. This is absolutely not the way it is EVER used. It is used to suggest that someone can’t be a politician because they don’t practice their relationship in the exact same way you do yours (you in the non-specific sense). It’s nothing more than sexual moralizing and nearly always rooted in conservative Christian moral frames.

The bottom line is nothing about a person sex life or relationship is useful in deciding who will be a good political figure (again with the obvious consent caveat). This doesn’t mean cheaters are not being *******s to their partners because they obviously are.

Of course, conservatives are massive hypocrites, about sex more than anything, but they are hypocrites about nearly every single topic you can name.

I know it’s really really hard to parse out one issue from three that are stated but try really hard. I think you can do it.
Well you did a great job of starting a pointless navel-gazing derail until we all forgot about the real issue. And I know this isn't the first time. Maybe you're just really good at it w/o trying.
04-07-2019 , 08:07 PM
There should definitely be 10 posts whining about the derail. That will clean up the thread.

Can't wait for yet another take out there on the internets insisting Trump's really not X, when he's blatantly X. You don't put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration unless you agree with him.

Also he wasn't joking about possibly shutting down the border, that's the old trick of pushing it seeing the reaction then bringing it back later after it got normalized with people. Maybe the TX senators can talk him out of actually doing it again later when he wants to but gl talking trump out of doing anything he thinks to do.

So, really the best you can claim is having an affair is likely to be immoral.

The topic i like to sometimes name is their sex lives since they insert their sex views into politics. This guy belongs to the GOP a party who has used One Man One Women family values as a tool to shame and even oppress those that dont fit. His cheating is fair game even without the trustworthiness leaking into his politics.
