The Guardian is reporting that Trump is going to sue the NY Times - standard operating procedure for anyone famous who gets accused of sexual assault by the media. This should be an interesting legal development, particularly as it’s usually done to silence any further revelations until a more convenient time (ie when he’s President), but seeing as the dam has broken, this is not going to go well for him. > **[Donald Trump threatens to sue NYT amid blizzard of sexual assault allegations...](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2016/oct/12/donald-trump-campaign-hillary-clinton-2016-presidential-election-live?page=with:block-57fef4c4e4b05d915e424621#block-57fef4c4e4b05d915e424621)** > > Rush of accusations against Republican nominee come after he denied he had ever groped women despite his taped boasts ---

I figured out why the evangelicals still support Trump: They are trying to bring about the End Times by lifting the Antichrist to power. They need him, just like they need Israel to exist. Only I don’t recall the Bible mentioning the “good” guys making it happen because they got impatient with God’s mysterious, and slow, ways. ---

> [@galen\_ubal](#): > > I’ll go ahead and repeat my belief that Trump is verbally, physically, and/or sexually abusive towards his family. > No evidence, but it fits in nicely with his character. On social media, I’m seeing a lot of people sharing the video of Tiffany Trump diving away from a kiss from her father. Everyone seems to be gleefully sharing the video for laughs but it actually seems kind of disturbing to me. She’s seemed to make an attempt to avoid the spotlight throughout the campaign, which could have plenty of mundane explanations- simple preference for privacy- but the way she reacts to that attempted kiss… I don’t necessarily think the worst implications should be assumed, but I’m uncomfortable with the way it’s being pointed to and laughed at.
