Adult film star Stormy Daniels is set to appear at a South Carolina strip club Saturday amid recent reports that she had an affair with President Trump in 2006 and was paid hush money just weeks before the presidential election to stay quiet about it.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is scheduled to appear at the Trophy Club in Greenville on the one-year anniversary of Trump’s inauguration. The event is part of her “Making America Horny Again Tour.”

“He saw her live. You can too,” reads a poster promoting the event on the club’s Facebook page.

The problem is the possibility of blackmail against a presidential team willing to pay big to cover up misbehavior.

Trump’s actions, clearly, are out of sync with our collective ethical code: Eighty-four percent of Americans disapprove of adultery, and probably more than that disapprove of adultery that occurs with a porn star four months after a man’s wife gives birth to their first child together. By breaking that code and then aspiring to an office that requires the support of Americans who abide by it (or at least believe they do), any politician puts himself in a vulnerable position. Either he risks a ruined career, or he does whatever he can to quiet things down.

When that politician is the president, whoever’s in the know wields a dangerous amount of power over a figure who himself is tremendously powerful. If a foreign country acquires damning information about the United States’ leader, it could, either by threatening to expose past indiscretions or by laying a sexual trap, twist international policy to its benefit.

By a 20-point margin, Donny & the Repubes will be blamed for a gov’t shutdown.

As to who will be blamed for the shut down is not that obvious from the polls. If the Dem's had made this about yet another (fourth) stopgap spending bill rather than about DACA, they would have fared better. The GOP line that the Democrats care more for illegal immigrants than our military will ring a bell in the red states, which is all Trump cares bout for now.

Donny has invited Schumer to the WH to talk about a deal. Make damn sure you record this, Chuck, and let Donny know you’re recording. He’s a viper.

Here is a sane voice and the blame which will be evry effective given Trump's perch.
Quote:
“Republicans control the House, they control the Senate and they control the presidency,” said Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont. “The government stays open if they want it to stay open, and it shuts down if they want it to shut down. It’s time to stop kicking the can down the road and time to start negotiating in good faith.”

The White House budget director, Mick Mulvaney, said on Friday that the Trump administration is preparing for “what we’re calling the ‘Schumer shutdown.’
Not that I feel sorry for the likes of Shumer and Pelosi. They are part of the problem and not the solution.

I thought I heard on the radio that McConnell has no idea what Trump's policies are on this and that is why no Senate vote.

He could also be protecting GOP Senators who would be voting Nay on this.
