The album was released on time to qualify for the awards, it was just never submitted for consideration. I have to believe that was intentional on his part. I think it’s a ballsy statement, personally.

Madonna is nothing like Kanye when it comes to her music or career. She has always been very good about giving credit to her collaborators and acknowledging her influences, and even though she had a catalog of hits that only a handful of artists can match, she doesn’t rest on her laurels or toot her own horn about it.…

And men are allowed to continue to ask even if a woman says no. There are no laws against being a pushy jerk.

Fine, I’ll amend my statement to say that you shouldn’t go to the home or hotel room of a strange man without assuming he’s inviting you there for sex. Better?

Don’t worry, I’m gay, all vaginas are safe around me. And I’ve been on the receiving end of enough pushy, handsy men, and invited back to enough strange men’s hotel rooms to have a valid opinion on the matter.

The point of the comparison was that there are a lot of things that we should be able to do in an ideal world, but we don’t do because we know what’s probably going to happen and it would be stupid to do so. Going back to a hotel room with a strange man you have no interest in having sex with is one of those stupid…

I won’t disagree with you that badgering somebody is disgusting. But it’s Donald Trump. We’ve known for ages that he’s disgusting. I just don’t see why this story is supposed to be such a big deal, or surprising. I don’t think a porn actress is victimized if a guy offers her money for sex. Even if this story isn’t…

A victim of what? A kiss by a gross guy and an insulting offer? I’ll save my sympathies for people who have been actually victimized, thanks.

You are absolutely right. And he didn’t fuck her, he kissed her and was pushy about trying to pay her for sex. I don’t think it’s terribly out of line to kiss a woman who willingly came back to your hotel room, and I don’t think it’s terribly out of line to offer a porn star $10,000 for sex. Tacky? Sure. But all I’m…

You can spin it however you want, but it’s a billionaire inviting a porn star back to his hotel room. My 10 year old niece could figure out the reason for this.

Oh, I’m sure it’s not. I just don’t see why anybody is shocked by this, it’s Donald Trump, haven’t we all assumed he did this kind of stuff long before he ever decided to run for office? He’s a rich, powerful guy, most of them behave this way to some degree or another.

You would not be caught off guard by this, because when I said, “Hey, you guys wanna see the view from my room?” you understood my meaning, which was, “I am going to grab your junk and put my tongue down your throat.”

The difference is pretty negligible.

I think a lot of the stuff Hillary has done, while actually in office, is way worse than Donald Trump acting lecherous a decade before running for office.

He kissed her when she went up to his hotel room with him. Who doesn’t know that when a strange man invites you to his hotel room that he’s trying to get in your pants? Just the act of going with him was implied enough consent for him to try to kiss her. Or are we now supposed to pretend that normal people only kiss…

Please. She went up to his hotel room with him. That is certainly an indication that she is open to something. A billionaire invites a porn star to his hotel room, do you really have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what he wants? He kissed her, he didn’t rape her.

Why not? A huge amount of them are.

It’s not like that at all. What you’re describing is a complete career change. This woman’s career is in an industry where you get one gig at a time getting paid for sex, and that’s what she was offered. This is like somebody trying to hire Beyonce to play a corporate event. It may not be exactly the type of business…

I’d say it’s more like asking Rachael Ray to cater a one time event. She may not do that kind of stuff anymore, but I don’t think it’s particularly offensive to ask her.

Yeah, it is tacky. But let’s get real, it’s not like doing escort work is uncommon among porn actors. More of them do it than don’t.
