Storm Warning

Apparently, the Stormy Daniels interview is going to air tonight on 60 Minutes…and why the heck wouldn't it? They'll get big ratings. She'll get publicity and attention for whatever personal/business objectives she has.  I kinda doubt it'll lower a lot of opinions of Trump. I'm thinking most of the opinions of him that could be lowered already have been.

And I gotta say, I really don't care if he had an affair with this lady or anyone. Marital infidelity is high on my list of things that are nobody's business apart from those directly involved. The only thing I thought was our business about Bill Clinton's dalliance with Ms. Lewinsky was that it showed some pretty poor judgment on his part. I'd thought he was smarter than that.

Then again on a scale of 1 to 1000 for Bad Judgement with 1000 denoting utterly terrible, catastrophic Bad Judgement, I think Bill 'n' Monica barely cracks double digits, whereas the Iraq War is around 1008. And a lot of folks are not only denying the Iraq War was a mistake but seem quite eager to make it again maybe with some of the same people leading the way.

Even if all Stormy says is true, whose opinion of Trump is going to change? The rich got their big tax cut. Immigrants are on the defensive. Trump could [fill in name of your favorite sexual aberration] on the White House lawn and he wouldn't lose support from those who cheer those goals, not even from when they're self-described evangelicals.

If you're an exception to this — if you have a sense of morality that transcends politics, my hat's off to you even if I disagree with your morals. I haven't always been as consistent in that regard as I'd like and I'm working on it. That's whey I'm going to view Trump's alleged affairs the same way I viewed Clinton's. If it's just a matter of being unfaithful to one's spouse, that's their concern, not mine.  If there's a part of this that is our business, it's the ancillary, cover-up stuff.
