Uh, Ok

Except that being married husband and wife and not promiscuous makes the difference, and people have sexual relations without exchanging any favors.

"We"? If you are in a sexual relationship just for of the money then yeah, you are.

Kamala "The Terrible" Harris: Proof to little girls everywhere that if you spread your legs and screw the right people, you can achieve great things sleeping your way to power.

Totally socially acceptable. Celebrated, even. What a good red blooded man and winner in the board room.

But ooh a career oriented woman has a sexual relationship with a higher ranked colleague and they're a ho. Gotcha.

Most political appointments and hiring have motives other than the best resume. Not implying sex but political appointments have a deal inferred or negotiated. Sometimes it's as simple as delivering campaign literature or working the phones in a office. Other appointments/deals involve money and/or re-election. But by the time one is a DA or judge they have they have the stink of a swamp on them one way or another.

And a lot of them were women. Of all ages. There was one particular director type that was over field operations and production buildings. He also oversaw storage. He had a reputation, a well deserved one, for being a lecherous rodent. He singled out certain women for his...stable, we'll call it. There was a name attached to these women and oh yes, his "favorites" would get plumb postings and promotions such as they were.

When your rolling in mud on 20 degree days with a stiff wind blowing and then are in a nice heated truck that's a promotion. Even if the pay isn't any better. But that's only if there was certain "favors" grantd of course. I despised this creep. He's still alive so I still do. I don't often use the term "hate" for just a dislike, but this varmint comes right up to the edge and sticks his toes over. I never held a damn thing against the women (girls quite often right out of high school) he ...groomed. And he covered his a$$ very well. He was fortified all the way to the very top and they covered him in legal proceedings twice while I was there.

And here' the interesting part. There was more than a few women in the upper echelon that had very active rolls in his protection. Not all of the women he approached took him up on his offers. And they always just quietly went away. Oh, what I would give for the chance to be alone in a securely buttoned room with him. The level of my dislike for this guy does indeed border on true hatred. There's more to that but I won't go into it. But yes, I very much do see the men behind the "sleeping their way up" thing with women. That being said I also see the women very clearly. Especially the ones I mentioned earlier that were on the creep in question's ...defense team. All of them to the last one did not achieve their positions on merit.

They were total rodentia in character. Vicious, nasty rancid ...I could go on. Those women/girls in the field were not, save one who eventually got into the way upper ranks. It, works both ways and in that we agree. I've seen to much to not agree with you on that.

Perfect description of the street dogs in the White House today.

How did Stormy, and those like her, have anything to do with propelling him to the top in his business and in politics? Please explain.

If you say those things then you don't know much about networking or making business deals on the golf course.

When those allegations are thrown at someone you don't like you automatically believe them without bothering to research.
When those allegations are thrown at someone you like then you make excuses and deflect without bothering to research.

Of course you did, your media was telling you from the time he'd announced he was running that you need to hate him. The easily led fell right in line and believed their leftist msm.


That is you. you don't care, remember.
Okay, you'd just shrug your shoulders and say you don't care.
suuure. right.
Wow. I'm trying to have a civil conversation with you and all you can respond to is that I suck and I'm stupid. Guess we're done here. I'll enjoy having a decent president for the next four years. You just keep on being ... yourself.

Yeah that’s not what I said. I said, Trump may not sleep with influential people, he just lies and cheats his way to the top instead.
