The Obama variant was the gay bathhouse in Chicago (Man’s Country?) where he was supposedly famous for being fellated by old white guys. I suppose that it was good training for the White House when you get right down to it.
There was a certain amount of fuss about those stories, not unlike yours, and then it all died off over time.

Just imagine the good that could be done by making college free for everyone. Chicana Studies and Cyber Feminism degrees could be had for the asking. Free medical care would result in much larger emergency rooms, and larger is more cost efficient.

The Australian — Trump’s First Year: Truth Gets Lost In Hysteria
The Conclusion to a long article:
Trump could be a success as President and could yet be a disaster. It is too early to tell. But there have been achievements and, for all that is distasteful and unorthodox about his style, he has remained faithful to his pre-election posturing. His critics need to be less shrill. The Democrats need to spend less time shrieking about Russia and put more effort into unearthing alternative policies and candidates.
Across the globe rational assessments of his actions and results will matter, not emotive and personal denouncements.
Perhaps those who hysterically condemn Trump as a means of expressing their own virtue need to consider that if their aim is to portray themselves as more tolerant and urbane than the US President, they might be setting a pretty low bar.

jon, these guys are always crying about something.
Walt, it is called The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 aka Motor Voter Act and has been in place for 25 years. Where have you been?
“Election Fraud
Opponents argued that the NVRA, by making it easier to register to vote and by not providing
states with adequate resources to keep their registration lists up-to-date and “clean,” opened the
door to the possibility of election fraud. And, opponents noted, in those states with large
noncitizen populations, the act made it easy for ineligible persons to register to vote. These
opponents noted that the process is almost automatic when a person applies for a driver’s license, a form of identification that is used by many immigrants to obtain work. The NVRA would be responsible, opponents argued, for the improper voter registration of large numbers of
noncitizens.
Proponents argued that P.L. 103-31, by making election fraud a federal offense, strengthened, not weakened efforts to prevent fraud. Proponents noted that many states with mail registration systems required only an attestation of citizenship or other eligibility requirement and a signature under penalty of perjury, as did the NVRA. Nothing in P.L. 103-31 prevented any state, for example, from asking applicants on the combined form whether or not they were citizens.
P.L.103-31, argued proponents, provided sufficient protection against election fraud.
This author was unable to find any systematic evidence or empirical study for or against an increase in voter
registration fraud as a result of the implementation of the NVRA, nor have the Federal Election
Commission (FEC) or the Election Administration Commission (EAC) ever mentioned this as a
problem that the states have brought up.”

re: Walt
Keep in mind that it’s unconstitutional and evil and probably Hitleresque to require people to use an ID to vote. This business with a driver’s license is kind of a side track.
Given that there’s no point in compromise, I figure we might as well require military service, passing a civics test, and property ownership for voting rights.
In any case, it’s California (or more accurately, Alta California). You’ll probably retain some degree of sanity viewing your tenure here as tourism. The state of the state is heading for a fairly obvious utopia, and there’s no stopping it.

Nobody gets registered to vote who isn’t prequalified to vote. People who cannot prove citizenship at time of applying for a CDL will still get the license under provisions of AB-60 but the license is clearly marked, “Federal Limits Apply. Issued for driving privileges only and not to be considered a valid form of ID” These people will not be automatically signed up to vote. Nothing is changing here. Sorry for the buzz kill.

re: funkiness in California voter registration.
Honestly, I doubt there is much of it. Given the huge illegal alien population, no doubt there is a bit of illegal voting, and God knows there’s plenty of sketchy legal voting (aid workers holding the hands of the mentally disabled to ‘vote’, etc.), but it probably doesn’t throw elections.
There simply isn’t enough profit motive to stuff ballot boxes or bus in farm workers.
When a (D) means you achieve most of the state and federal offices, there’s no need for chicanery. Heck, for the Senate seats they might as well save their money and just send those geniuses back to DC without the bother of an election.
Thank goodness we have Democratic domination and live in such a rich place. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have this amazing public health insurance system that we’re all in favor of.

” President Donald Trump ends his first year in office with 39 percent of Americans approving of his job performance, according to the latest national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll — the lowest mark in the poll’s history for any modern president ending his first year.
Fifty-seven percent disapprove of Trump’s job, including a majority of respondents — 51 percent — who now say they strongly disapprove, which is a record high for Trump in the survey. That’s compared with 26 percent of Americans who strongly approve of the president’s job”.

re: Paul’s Polls @3:42PM
From NBC ‘News’ dot com.
“He never ran as a unifier, and the inaugural address he gave exactly one year ago today was a dark, foreboding (and therefore all but unprecedented) exercise in name calling and division. He was by and for his people, his base, their wants and resentments. That, after all, was how he won the 2016 election.
For the most part, he has pursued that base-only politics in his first year in office. That, in turn, has left him with the lowest job-approval rating of any modern president after one year in office.”
Good.
You know, I even kind of buy the idea of base-only politics as having this side effect. OTOH, the prior administration was essentially base-only in terms of policy, but it featured a teleprompter readin’ guy who would delicately massage in a bit of lubricant before anyone knew what hit them.
