I wonder if Clinton has the name of the specific woman he had been hitting on? Although the names of women he has assaulted will have more credibility now that he is on tape bragging about doing that. This really is someone running for president who still has roughly 2 out of 5 voters willing to vote for him? Really? ---

It’s all a big cover up. She was actually laughing so hard she couldn’t stand up anymore, knowing the kind of shit that was going to be coming down the pipeline to rain down on Trump. ---

You guys must live in protective bubbles if you’ve only heard “a handful” of guys talk like that. Only a few that I know of would say that in mixed company, but among the guys? Lots of guys, all the time. I personally dislike that type of banter, and agree that it’s usually assholes who spout it.

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > In the Navy, we talked about sex all the time (I worked on a submarine, which at the time were 100% male crewed). But we talked about consensual sex, even if in graphic and vulgar terms. I don’t remember hearing anyone brag about sexual assault – and if they did, it wouldn’t have been well received. I lived in an all-male dorm 45 years ago, when sexism was still in. We talked a lot about who we’d like to have in our beds. We never talked like this either - and anyone who did would have been ostracized. ---

Only a few that I know of would say that in mixed company, but among the guys? Lots of guys, all the time. I personally dislike that type of banter, and agree that it’s usually assholes who spout it. There are a lot of assholes out there… I’m sure many guys talk this way, and I’m not surprised by this type of talk, but in among the guys I hang out with, I honestly don’t hear talk like this. I don’t particularly think I live in a protective bubble (I hear guys at bars talk like this occasionally), but I just don’t end up in sex conversations with guys much at all. Or at all, really, and I can’t imagine any of my male friends talking like this. ---

Much as I dislike Ryan, the only pussies he’d grab go meow. And I know the date is off. Honorable Republicans, like Ryan, only want to screw the faceless masses. Trump is not so picky. ---

I can see a drunken frat boy talking about how he once grabbed a girl’s pussy right before she gave him some. But bragging about grabbing all the pussies he wants because he’s a star? I haven’t been hanging out in any male locker rooms, but I just can’t see a whole lot of guys saying some shit like this. Especially an almost sixty-year-old man who is married.
