No, no, no. Try him. Then lock him up. We’re not savages.
If there’s as many accusers as Cosby had, and I expect there might be even more, they can dribble a few out every day until the election.
Some snarky comments in the NYT comments section:
“I heard his reply tonight to these women and he replied that they touched him.”
“The women should not be concerned. It was only locker room kissing.”
What’s the statute of limitations on sexual assault in New York?
According to this, there is no statute of limitations in New York:
*Americans should vote for Donald Trump as president next month or risk being dragged into a nuclear war, according to a Russian ultra-nationalist ally of President Vladimir Putin who likes to compare himself to the U.S. Republican candidate.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky…
*…
Zhirinovsky, who said he met Trump in New York in 2002, revels in his similarities with the American businessman — they are the same age, favor coarse, sometimes misogynistic language and boast about putting their own country first. Zhirinovsky has even said he wants a DNA test to see if he is related to Trump.…
From Putin Ally Tells Americans: Vote Trump or Face Nuclear War
Wow, what an awesome enforcement from a possible relative of Trump’s.

So the brave patriotic Trumpees are supposed to vote as told by a country threatening to nuke us. Trumpish surrender monkeys more like.
It is to laugh.
Lenin called them “useful fools”. Useful idiot - Wikipedia Sounds like it’s time to break those words out of mothballs. Delicious, delicious irony.
The Trump/Bannon counter-plan is to bring his Clinton Accusers Club from the debates onto Hannity tomorrow for an hour long special. They hope to depress turn out among young women by just spraying assault accusations everywhere.
Granted, step one of this plan is apparently to reach millennial women voters via Sean Hannity’s program.
I’m pretty sure Bill Clinton has already lost their vote.
This is going to be real fun for the various political hacks who had tried to back away from Trump and then flip-flopped back to loyal support after hearing the angry roar of the Derplorables.
I first saw it in Doonesbury, where Honey says it to Ambassador Duke, attributing it to Mao.
I always assumed Trudeau made it up?
So that makes, what, 4 today? Add Machado, the women Friday… we are up to 7. And we are just starting.
Bill Clinton never had a “bimbo eruption” quite like this, that is for sure!
Hell, there is another one, this time in London, courtesy of The Guardian:
Some are saying 5 releases in an hour or two. Coordinated?

I don’t think the timing is really that odd. I think it’s a strength in numbers thing – very reminiscent of other mass sexual assault cases like Jerry Sandusky and Bill Cosby. Victims deal with it by suppressing it for years, convinced nobody’s got their back. When they finally sense that someone’s onto their predatory behavior, it takes one or two to get the courage to come out – then the flood gates open.
Trump is different than Bill Cosby and Jerry Sandusky in that he has basically admitted to doing such things before ever being really suspected of it. That tells me that Trump probably engaged in this sort of behavior because he thought he was bulletproof. He threatens people into silence, which is probably why these women remained silent all these years. I think now these women finally realize Trump really can’t go after them if they act in concert – there are just too many of them to go after.
I think this is gonna be a yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge number of victims coming out.
Could just be a cascade effect. Tape comes out and women start going to the news saying “That happened to me”. NYT got their story out first and now other media organizations who were working on a story are rushing to get theirs out the door.
Perhaps in that exact form, but apparently Mao at least used the phrase “disorder under heaven,” mentioned by The Economist. According to Google’s ngram viewer, the phrase “great disorder under heaven” first appeared in 1969, and peaked in 1978. Mao’s Cultural Revolution started in 1966, and Doonesbury first appeared in 1970 (and Honey first in 1976), so certainly it didn’t originate with Trudeau.
An even worse problem for Trump.
That civil suit in which he is alleged to have raped a 13 year old?
That’s going to be a story now.
Trump is a sexual predator. And the enemies at Washington Post and NYTimes are going to make sure that gets out. That’s almost damn sure to be the case now that Trump has threatened them with legal action.
He’s like one of those bar room bullies that gets off his stool after a few beers and goes around challenging random people to a fight. He gets punched in the nose and keeps coming back and daring more people to fight him. Keep it coming, moron.
