The Stormy Daniels saga just got a lot more interesting | Salon

President Donald Trump's personal lawyer may have opened a can of words Tuesday by releasing a statement in which he admitted that he paid adult film actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 just before the 2016 presidential election. The payment, according to the Wall Street Journal, was in accordance with a non-disclosure agreement that prevented Daniels — whose real name is Stephanie Clifford — from talking about an alleged 2006 ***ual encounter with Trump at a golf tournament.

In 2006, Trump was already married to Melania Trump, who had just given birth to the couple's only child, Barron.

Because Cohen admitted to the $130,000 payment, Daniels' manager told the Associated Press, the attorney had violated the non-disclosure agreement. That means that Daniels can finally tell all.

Conservatives and NRA money keeps many Americans live in fear... Where a LEGAL semiautomatic hunting rifle (it's not an assault rifle) is the weapon of choice of every mass shooter lately... While other countries whipped up their laws to prevent it from happening again, America prefer for thoughts and prayers.

Gun control legislation remains stalled in Congress - CNNPolitics

Dunno whether to laugh or pity them...

Magkaiba right to bear arms at yung pumatay ng iba.

Mali ata intindi mo sa ibig sabihin ng constitutional rights. They are not absolute.

Sir we don't have to go into technicalities

Republicans do not want gun control coz they see gun ownership as a right

that's it

The problem is your insinuating that mass murder is a right based on another right. That is what I am contesting. Not the republicans interest.

The right to bear may have resulted in people easily buying semi autos but its inception never included killings.

guy: cars kill people too

a car's intended purpose is to transport something from point a to point b

a gun's intended purpose is to make something dead

Finally... this dinosaur picked up the obvious... Hope tangerine man will do something about it.

Pat Robertson Calls for a Ban on Assault Weapons: “It’s Sensible” – Friendly Atheist

Every few years, televangelist Pat Robertson manages to say something sensible.

Like when he said our existing drug laws needed to be revisited because “criminalizing the possession of a few ounces of pot…[is] just costing us a fortune and it’s ruining young people.” Or when he mocked Young Earth Creationists by saying, “Bishop Ussher… wasn’t inspired by the Lord when he said it all took 6,000 years; it just didn’t!”

It’s happened again, proving the old adage about a broken clock.

Robertson said on today’s show that assault weapons needed to be banned because nothing good can possibly come from them. He added that expanded background checks for people buying guns were needed.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I am a gun owner,” Robertson said. “I have hunted. I have shot skeet. I have gotten awards when I was in the Marine Corps for shooting. I’ve got no opposition whatsoever to shooting, but for heaven’s sakes, I don’t think that the general population needs to have automatic weapons. It just doesn’t have to have Russian-built or Chinese-built machine guns. It just doesn’t.”

“I mean it’s one thing to defend yourself with a pistol or a shotgun to hunt with, but it’s something else to have [assault weapons],” he added. “I think we can ban those things without too much trouble. They have what they call bump stocks, which you hit it and it would go automatic, we can stop that.”
“It’s just got to be,” Roberson said. “It’s sensible.”

He’s… he’s…. Christ, I can’t believe I’m saying this… Pat Robertson is right.
