Donald Trump signs censorship bill into law amidst the controversy over his alleged affair with Stormy Daniels :
Anderson Cooper: You– you told Donald Trump to turn around and take off his pants.
Stormy Daniels: Yes.
Anderson Cooper: And did he?
Stormy Daniels: Yes. So he turned around and pulled his pants down a little — you know had underwear on and stuff and I just gave him a couple swats.
Anderson Cooper: What happened next?
Stormy Daniels: I asked him if I could use his restroom and he said, “Yes, you know, it’s through those– through the bedroom, you’ll see it.” So I– I excused myself and I went to the– the restroom. You know, I was in there for a little bit and came out and he was sitting, you know, on the edge of the bed when I walked out, perched.
Anderson Cooper: And when you saw that, what went through your mind?
Stormy Daniels: I realized exactly what I’d gotten myself into. And I was like, “Ugh, here we go.” (LAUGH) And I just felt like maybe– (LAUGH) it was sort of– I had it coming for making a bad decision for going to someone’s room alone and I just heard the voice in my head, “well, you put yourself in a bad situation and bad things happen, so you deserve this.”
Anderson Cooper: And you had sex with him.
Stormy Daniels: Yes.
Anderson Cooper: You were 27, he was 60. Were you physically attracted to him?
Stormy Daniels: No.
Anderson Cooper: Not at all?
Stormy Daniels: No.
Anderson Cooper: Did you want to have sex with him?
Stormy Daniels: No. But I didn’t– I didn’t say no. I’m not a victim, I’m not–
Anderson Cooper: It was entirely consensual.
Stormy Daniels: Oh, yes, yes.
Anderson Cooper: You work in an industry where condom use is– is an issue. Did– did he use a condom?
Stormy Daniels: No.
Anderson Cooper: Did you ask him to?
Stormy Daniels: No. I honestly didn’t say anything.
Anderson Cooper: After you had sex, what happened?
Stormy Daniels: He said that it was great, he had– a great evening, and it was nothing like he expected, that I really surprised him, that a lotta people must underestimate me– that he hoped that I would be willing to see him again and that we would discuss the things we had talked about earlier in the evening.
Anderson Cooper: Being on The Apprentice.
Stormy Daniels: Right.

Correspondent Anderson Cooper and Stormy Daniels
Daniels says she and Mr. Trump stayed in touch. She says he invited her to a Trump Vodka launch party in California, as well as to his office in Trump Tower in New York.
Anderson Cooper: So he definitely wanted to continue to see you.
Stormy Daniels: Oh, for sure. Yes.
Stormy Daniels: And this was not a secret. He never asked me not to tell anyone. He called several times when I was in front of many people and I would be like, “Oh my God, he’s calling.” They were like, “Shut up, the Donald?” And I’d put him on speakerphone, and he wanted to know what I was up to and, “When can we get together again? I just wanted to give you a quick update, we had a meeting, it went great. There’s– it’s gonna be spectacular, they’re totally into the idea,” and I was like mhmm that part I never believed.
Anderson Cooper: Did you still get the sense that he was kind of dangling it in front of you–
Stormy Daniels: Oh, for sure, oh yeah.
Anderson Cooper: To keep you interested, to keep you coming back.
Stormy Daniels: Of course, of course. I mean, I’m not blind. But at the same time, maybe it’ll work out, you know?
Anderson Cooper: Did you view it as this is a potential opportunity. “I’m gonna see where it goes?”
Stormy Daniels: I thought of it as a business deal.
Anderson Cooper: How do you know he wanted to?
Stormy Daniels: Because he came and sat next to me and, you know, touched my hair, and put his hand on my leg, and r– referenced back to how great it was the last time.
I usually don’t ask for things, but this is a biggie that may affect the very blog platform you are reading this post from (i.e. WordPress ). You may have heard that the US Senate has passed the anti-sex trafficking bills SESTA/FOSTA . The bills now go to the US Pres. for signing.
Aimed at stopping sex-trafficking, it enables legal penalties for sites that host content that discusses sex in almost any form (except possibly medical ) . Check this article from the EFF.
If you are a US citizen, you can sign an online petition here . All it requires is an email address. It can be filled out in minutes.
update: US Pres. Trump signed the bill into law.
The new law removes Communications Decency Act protections for websites that knowingly host content loosely defined as sex trafficking and “prostitution” content
So they are trying to make freedom of speech a thing of the past?
They want to strike out the freedom of speech clause in the FCC internet regulations if they believe it coulkd lead to “sex trafficking”. Unfortunately, this will include consensual hookups…and anything vaguely suggestive. Sites that host things like this could be charged with criminal activity or sued for civil penalties. Sex (trafficking/non-trafficking) therefore becomes “illegal”.
Sites will hedge their bets by closing anything which ‘might’ get them into trouble. Twitter has gone mental over this. It’s so worrying because all it does is drive things underground.
