All of you who are so enchanted with the Daytons marriage, I'm fairly certain had a less charitable analysis of the TRumps marriage.

Is this story news-worthy? Not really, but the ridiculous hypocrisy and double standards ARE. When I lived in Minny, most everyone there made sure to hammer the point home about how intelligent, fair, enlightened, and "above" everyone else they were; yet their actions proved that they are no better than those they look down on.
Find an example of a poster who was ‘enchanted’ with this marriage but was less charitable to Trump’s marriage. I’ll be waiting. Outside of being able to provide specific examples of this alleged hypocrisy (of which I have doubts actually exist) you are doing nothing beyond playing thought police.

In the meantime we can probably move on as gossiping about a retired politician’s love life, in my opinion, is extremely boring.

Yes, we should change to topic to that of Ilhan Omar's husband's consulting firm which, in addition to receiving $2.8 million from the Omar campaign since they became lovers, also got $600,000 from the Covid stimulus programs. Explain how they needed the Covid money when Omar was shoveling campaign contributions his way?

Little Miss Hot Mess Omar has certainly enriched herself through the years of marriage, divorce, marriage, divorce, and now marriage again. Certainly not a Hallmark movie in it, but perhaps Netflix can shovel some money her way just like they did with the Obamas.

Oh, was I off topic? Sorry.

To be fair none of my comments were about the marriage news and as a result I was called out for going “off topic.”

It is interesting - I wasn't aware of it. Glad you posted it. Gad I miss Daytons Dept Store - the best ever-there will never be another like it.

These guys that marry so young do seem like fools.

Not true. I remember an interview with him before he got into politics, he was maybe in his late 20's, where he said being born into a wealth family carried a responsibility to give back to society. After he left college he became an inner city teacher (in NYC I think) in order to serve society. Later he got into politics for the same reason. I always had respect for the man after that interview.

FACT trump is an ADULTER how's that play with your so called Christian values? I have no knowledge of the politics of the person and who ever really cares about who he married really has ZERO life if all thy can do is B**^ about it.

If he is wealthy he probably has some sort of pre nup arranged so she can't take him to the cleaners. if he doesn't well then he is pretty stupid.


I totally agree with you on people "being above board" when in reality most times they are hypocritical idiots. They try to say they are good until they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar. That is true on both sides of the aisle

True, and as Clinton said, "I did NOT have sex with that woman". (quote and proven lie). A man of impeccable character.

It was open season on Trump by today's media even before the inauguration. The story concerning Dayton is newsworthy by the very standards established by this same media.

This thing with hooking up with a trophy wife is done all the time with celebrities from all sides of the aisle. It says nothing about Dayton as a person, but it IS newsworthy. He's rich, powerful and thus able to attract women looking exactly for guys like him. Only time will tell if she makes the top 10 or if this hookup is more than that.
