Is having a mistress a requirement to be in the GOP or it is just considered a plus?

So having the campaign pay for flying the family’s pet bunny was really for Duncan to fly his Playboy bunny for their vacation?

Well, I guess that explains how prosecutors got his wife to flip on him, doesn’t it?

Corrupt congressman. Proud war criminal. Philandering husband. In the GOP, that’s known as “just livin’ the dream”.

“The first woman (“Individual 14”) was a lobbyist. For about three years, Hunter dipped into his campaign contributions to pay for a couple’s ski getaway”

I think in this context, perhaps we could search for a phrase other than “dipped into”.

Well, you’re also allowed the pool boy option. They’re quite the inclusive Party.

What do you mean, a mistress?

Sounds like you need a whole harem.

It’s because they care about their wives so much that they don’t want to place unreasonable demands on them for sexual favors to sate their incredible manliness.

Now, after a steady diet of Trump farts and OH-MY-GOD-LOOK-WHAT-HE/SHE-SAID, can we get some real news on how the Democratic candidates are doing? Please, TPM?

She already has started. After all the story “He tried to put all the blame on you, AND he was using the money to cheat on you for years” is typically a very compelling story for a spurned wife to hear.

I am sorry. Campaign money is free speech and corporations can deduct it as expense. It is not tied to anything or to specific favors that donors expect because that would be a quid-pro-quo bribe.

Politicians, especially christian conservatives, who are the real American patriots, ought to be able to do anything they want with campaign contributions including spend it on extra-marital affairs.

Governor Forced Transvaginal Ultrasound took suitcases of cash, Rolexes, expensive vacations and cars and that was deemed perfectly fine and constitutional by the Roberts SCOTUS.

This is just a corollary of that.

As a good christian wife, Margaret Hunter, signed up for all of this. Remember “have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part” from your vows? The “worse” part of them vows includes the four affairs. Maggie had a good life with similar if not better ski vacations than the lobbyist and four other women Duncan was banging. She got thrown under a wonderful bus by her handsome and charismatic husband after she supported his re-election bid. She should have plead guilty and spoken up before the election.

Sorry, I lost my train of thought at the mention of a harem. What were we talking about again?
