If you haven't heard her interview with Rachel Maddow last week, go listen to it. This woman doesn't deserve any of this shit, and is currently being threatened with jail if she doesn't give up identifying information about her 13-year old daughter in a court sanctioned harassment campaign by Trump's lawyers, is not able to work to support herself, has had her identifying information posted on Twitter by a DHL driver Trumpist, and may also lose her home. All of this because she told the truth. It's fucking disgusting.
Regardless what you think of her lifestyle choices, she doesn't deserve to be constantly hunted and harassed by MAGA psychos who are doing nothing but ruining this woman's life, and potentially her young daughter's. Listening to the Interview, I honestly thought her to be an absolutely lovely and intelligent person who is just trying to do the right thing, and getting her life ruined in the process.
Edit: find the GoFundMe and toss her a couple bucks if you have some to spare. I'm really hoping E Jean Carol steps in with some of the money Trump owes her and pledges some support. A bigger "fuck you" to Trump than us all having to do so to make sure Daniels stays safe.
They’ll torture any woman who comes forward to scare the next ones out of speaking up. This is a tactic to ensure that no other Trump victims come forward, and it’s disgusting.
I’m glad people are supporting her, but the justice system should do more to protect her from this harassment.
I heard a story in this vein that made my skin crawl. I won't assume so this will over explain, but I'll be brief:
Popular stream trope is to go to drunk areas and interview attractive people while they're drunk
Some dude interviews drunk girls about sex stuff.
Girl says "you gotta give it that hauk tua" implying you gotta spit on cock for a good blowjob/get sloppy/etc.
She gets bizarre instant fame. If you search "hauk tua" you will find her and her new ...career? Anyways
She's now "influencer" overnight. Is on tons of podcasts.
Some podcast asked "you into older guys?" She said "oh yeah" podcaster proceeds to ask her if she'd give Donald Trump the old "Hauk Tua", asking her if she'd suck DJTs cock.
Hard pass. No thanks.
Now, she's getting dragged through the mud. People have said that her response was "disrespectful to the former president."
Like... What the actual fuck.
So much about the story is bizarre, but... Disrespectful to the former president to not suck his dick.
Monica Lewinsky must be pissed.
Damned if you suck, damned if you don't.
I was just thinking of the woman who came forward about Brett Kavanaugh. I hope she's doing okay.
I think they would commit witness intimidation and threats to anyone perceived as an enemy. They just like it even more when they can be misogynist, homophobic, or racist at the same time.
If Donald gets back in there he will eventually have witnesses like these killed as "official acts." His Trumpanzees will celebrate each one, until their turn comes up.
Sounds like she will
Oh man, that would be awesome. I hope she sets aside enough of that money to directly go to his other victims. What a great turn to make.
Don't fear too much for her. I heard Eugene Carol might give Stormy some of Donald's money she won in her suit as a show of unity.
