Trump has a new girlfriend?


https://www.yahoo.com/style/17-theories-facts-hope-hicks-051311592.html

He's a known serial adulterer. Melania is never with him. So he's cheating on her. He probably has an open marriage.

What he does with his personal life and marriage is not our business IMO, but the Christian Right will say nothing if this is shown to be true and he'll get their full support because the Christian Right are simply racist hypocrites.

Since, what, 1998 - for about 20 years now - we have been assured by the Left that what happens between two consenting adults is no one else's business. That we are puritans, who really need to just grow up and get with the times. Remember that?

I couldn't care less what woman is dumb enough to get tangled up with someone like Trump. Based on 20 ****ING YEARS of liberal orthodoxy, I THOUGHT they wouldn't care, either.

Yahoo news? 

How ****ing stupid do you have to be not only to read it but to believe it?

I know the "Christian left" are those who pretend to be obedient to Christ but are more interested in their political end game than in being obedient to the truth. But what is the "Christian right"?

Actually, Yahoo Skews is merely re-whatevering from another source:

"YourTango" is basically like an online mash-up of Cosmo Magazine and "Weekly World News" (the Bat Boy check-out stand tabloid).

IOW, thread DU thread is Confirmation-Bias-Overdosed-On-Crack.

It's Progs' new epithet for the "Religious Right" - same bogeyman, new epithet.

Since they would probably include me under that epithet, here's how I saw Trump vs. Hillary:

Trump: Twice divorced, thrice married, past womanizer; stupid rumors like this one aside, he seems to have been faithful to Melania the past 10 years; self-aggrandizing but successful businessman;

Hillary: Thrown off the Watergate investigation staff for unethical actions; got a rapist client off on a lesser charge by threatening to subject the victim to psychological evaluations and other assaults on her character; supported and covered up for her serial philanderer-rapist husband and demonized his victims while First Lady of AR and of the US; used the Clinton Foundation as a pay-to-play, self-dealing slush-fund; grossly inept as SecState; mishandled and compromised classified materials by trying to circumvent public records and FOIA laws/regs.

IOW, Trump was/is flawed; Hillary was/is horrifyingly flawed and dangerous. Also in my view, Trump is doing much better than I expected, actually keeping and fighting to keep campaign promises I liked, but didn't believe he'd keep. Hillary's ineptitude would probably have made her worse than I feared, just as Obama was worse than I feared.

I realize DU-folk would not agree with my views and perceptions, but since they are making straw man arguments about what they think my views should be, the above is what my views actually are, and therefore the bases of my trump vs. Hillary decision.

I'd also add that Hillary made it clear that, if elected, she'd follow the anti- Christian policies that Obama took with regard to religious employers preferring not to have abortions covered under their employees' health care plans. In a speech she gave shortly before beginning her 2016 campaign, she openly said that people's religious beliefs "Need to be changed" in order to advance her abortion- on- demand agenda.
Furthermore, Hillary had not one but two illegal immigrants speak on stage at the most recent DNC, and gave a standing ovation to those criminals who were openly mocking our nation's laws just by being there. Last time I checked, people who seek to be president need to care about things like law and order.

Yeah, so much Hillary material, such a short path to tl;dr.

It was actually a rhetorical question as I am fully aware of how the left views things. Sorry about that. Not the first time things are misunderstood in written form that would be fully obvious in person.

There is no such thing as the Christian right or left; one who is obedient to Christ is simply a Christian. In this case, those of the political left, who call themselves Christians but who disregard the Law of God in several matters, are not Christians, though they may refer to themselves as such.
