Yes, many politicians hire escorts to go on dates with them so they aren't perceived as gay (or because they actually are gay).

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

There are definitely escorts that only show up for public outings and actually get well paid because they have to be beautiful and excellent liars who are interesting. They ain't posting on Craigslist.

And there are also high class escorts that do the sex stuff but also are at public outings for lonely Rich dudes, in that you have to pay them for the whole night and it's just a given the sex stuff happens after you went to a business function or a concert or something.

There's a ton of anonymous former high class escort stories out there and they basically tell the same story where they go in thinking the hard part will be sucking slimey old dude dick and discover the hard part is actually sitting at dinner for 3 hours night after night pretending they care about his boring life.

I really doubt that she is literally explicitly paid as an escort, I imagine it's more of an unspoken agreement where he will buy her tons of expensive clothes and jewelry as long as she stays skinny and blows him once in a while.

I apologize because you're not the first one to think it has anything to do with being outraged or disgusted.

I was attempting to make a point about how weird reality is and how people generally aren't honest about reality. I'm fine with what they're doing, they're consenting adults.

Using "prostitute" as an insult in 2020 is a lil sus fellas. Just sayin'.

Melania was a model from Yugoslavia who saw her opportunity to get out and took it. Shes undeniably vapid and materialistic, but like, who cares? Im so tired of hearing about this early 2000s reality TV family. More excited to see the GOP abandon Trump than anything else.

I agree that "prostitute" as an insult doesn't work for me personally, and i think lots of people on the left see it the same way. But what they're saying is that to the evangelical right who are so devoted to Trump, it is weird that they just overlook the many facts (including Melanie being a gold digger and used to pose half naked for magazines) that don't align with their so-called values.

I don't agree many of those values but the argument is that they claim to hold those "values" and use them as weapons at times yet still supports trump.

or just like politics in general and use your charms and wit and often lies but beautifully covered lies to ask people to vote for you is prostitution in essence?!

I wasn't living in American back in 2008. I was living in China and so many middle aged Chinese women around me refer to Obama as "handsome, dreamy, elegant and oh so dapper and graceful bearing (风度翩翩). They didn't know anything about Obama's politics or even democratic politics in general but i have no doubt my mom would have voted for Obama based on his looks alone...NOT THAT WE HAVE VOTES IN CHINA BUT YOU GET WHAT I MEAN

Yeah, it shouldnt make sense.

Evangelicals tend to vote on message/platform more than person/individual. They will excuse just about anything as long as it benefits their cause, and they are REALLY good at voting. These last 4 years are a big win for them.

I do understand it feels good on some level to point out the hypocrisy of these people, but there needs to be a concerted effort from the left to disrupt, dismantle, or just plain out-vote these religious fuckwits and their organizations. From where I stand they are the singular biggest threat to America right now, worse than 'rona.

She is almost certainly paid a yearly allowance many times higher than any of our annual incomes. That's common billionaire's wife stuff, and is unlikely to be an unspoken deal relying on gifts that can be withheld on a whim so much as something negotiated and included in the prenup down to the level of yearly raises, bonuses and penalties applied to both him and her for violating certain terms. Ultra wealthy people are not normal, even their relationship with their children will likely involve lawyers managing the exchange of money and suing each other without provoking too much hostility when actually interacting. So setting something like that up wouldn't even be interpreted as payment for a service provided so much as a normal part of marriage equivalent to a regular couple's merging of finances.

If we are going with those then Trump's predecessor didn't marry a prostitute but rather was one himself.

I mean marriage (at least the ones with strict traditional gender rules) is state sponsored prostitution... (sue me, with love or not)

So sure, you can argue that the allowance of being a rich person's wife makes it more like a clear transaction i guess

yeah the argument even if it's logically sound, it doesn't matter because if it doesn't change their minds (it's not), they just keep on voting and doesn't give a poo poo so the left has to out vote them (or out live them like Melania is going to do to Donald)

Also hopefully I don't get banned from answering too many times too quickly but can we not just say "Obama" instead of "Trump's predecessor" at this point, is Obama's name so scary to type out.

I can't believe that Trump has ever had any interest in sex, except in the most abstract and fetishised way. He's with Melania because a successful, ruthless businessman needs a glamorous trophy wife as a fundamental part of his public persona. I don't like to think about it too much, because you see the videos where she's obviously grossed out just by being in Trump's vicinity and it's not even funny, just sad.

I see him as an asexual sea cucumber who views sex as purely transactional. Melania is basically a living, breathing wristwatch. Shes a dated status symbol, exotic but still white, objectively beautiful (she was a model), and leads a completely material life. Shes kind of perfect.

If you look at the way he spoke to Stormy Daniels its fairly clear he sees women as conquests. I feel a woman like Daniels became an object of desire to Trump because she was literally an object of fantasy for thousands. That kind of thing plays right to his ego. While you were all sitting around tugging your horns, he was bedding the biggest pornstar around.
