Stormy Weather

Stormy Daniels has defiantly and loudly proclaimed that she will not pay President Trump!  She will go to jail first!  For those of you who forgot or didn't know, Stormy Daniels along with her then attorney Michael Avenatti sued President Trump over a non-disclosure agreement, that she broke.  Then she and Avenatti ran around to every talk show that would have them, to tell of her tale of woe.  Which was she had a "date" with President Trump and then she got 130K to keep her mouth shut.  Then she got threatened to keep her mouth shut even though she'd gotten 130K to keep her mouth shut.  This was keeping her mouth shut after the "date", not during it.  

Now Stormy Daniels is not some reticent little waif, caught in the glare of a modern day media maelstrom, so we're not being salacious here.  Stormy is both a celebrity porn star and sex worker.  You can google her if you don't believe us.  And, according to her, the "date" with Donald Trump was a paid for affair.  But she wound up losing her lawsuit against Donald Trump, because it was pretty hard to show how the $130K, hurt her in any way.  Then the court also ruled that she had to pay President Trump's legal fees.  She appealed that decision and now she's lost that appeal.  But she says she will never pay.  We understand that too.  It's not the money.  It's the principal of the thing.  If she pays, she'll be the first sex worker in the history of the profession and it's the world's oldest profession, to have paid the client.  It's a dangerous precedent.  It's that slippery slope you always hear about.  And, it might ruin the whole thing.  We mean, if the sex workers wind up paying the clients, it will defeat the whole purpose.

Lucky for Stormy Daniels there are no debtor prisons in the US of A.  She'll have judgements that might be enforced against her future earnings but no jail.  She will not follow her attorney Michael Avenatti and Trump's attorney in this matter Michael Cohen, into the Hoosegow.  And, she should be happy about that.  But 'I will not pay Trump!  I'll go to jail first!' made a great headline.  And, in this age of narcissism and me, me me all the time, maybe that's all she wants here.  Maybe that's all she ever, really, wanted.
