This came out a few days before Pussygate broke out and seems to have swept under most people’s radars, but here, once again courtesy of Howard Stern, is Trump talking about how hot he thought Paris Hilton was when she was twelve years old.
I think between this, his ogling the girls in the Miss Teen USA locker room, asking others how “hot” 16-year-old Ivanka was, and the alleged rape case, we can pretty safely conclude that he is “into that”.
“Well, at 12, I wasn’t interested, which is why I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’"
I’m not sure why the photo was posted, but that sign is way more interesting than the slightly strange idea of a white woman holding up a ‘Blacks For Trump’ sign. The website that it’s advertising is a little on the unusual side:
Not surprising in the least they’d find themselves supporting Trump …
I think it’s time for Trump to have a sit-down interview…with Chris Hansen.
Nah, it’s really about the Supreme Court, but for many reasons it’s just not good enough to justify supporting him.
Maybe I’m missing something, but: isn’t the newspaper using Trump’s favorite tactic? They’re not saying he did this; instead, in best a lot of people are saying fashion, they ran a headline that said “two women say Donald Trump touched them inappropriately”, and followed it with a story chock full of “she said” statements – and they of course included a “said Mr. Trump” reply to match the “Ms. Leeds said” stuff.
As far as I can tell, that linked bit doesn’t accuse the paper of getting any facts wrong; sure, it says “these two individuals” are making false and defamatory statements, and that the Times hasn’t done a good enough job of testing “the veracity of these false and malicious allegations” – but is there a problem with saying allegations are allegations? Because, hey, the article itself is careful to use the word “allegations”.
It’s all bluster and desperation from a cornered animal. If he were to actually sue, then he’d have to testify under oath about whether or not he’s kissed and groped women without their consent, and that’s the last thing Loser Donald wants to do. He’s betting that he can bluff the Times into backing down.
If you have two specific people that are saying it, it’s not the same as the much-less-attributable “people are saying” approach, particularly as often the “people” who are saying the thing include the person who is saying the thing to you at the time. If you know what I’m saying.
I have heard multiple Chris Hansen jokes this morning. Anybody want to clue me in?
Anyway, Alexandra Jaffe of NBC is reporting Trump camp pulling out of VA.
Chris Hansen-To Catch a Predator
Chris Hansen was a Dateline host who became the face of their “To Catch a Predator” series, where they’d go online trolling for would-be predators who wanted to have sex with an underage girl. The NBC employer, pretending to be the girl of the man’s fantasy, would entice him to show up at a certain hotel room at a certain time, carrying some object that would prove he was who they were expecting - and Hansen would be there waiting for them with a camera crew, asking them to “have a seat over here” where he’d confront them with their own online statements.
He’s saying that Hansen ought to be having a conversation with Trump, because Trump is quite possibly a pedophile.
Seriously? This bullshit again?
As if you aren’t perfectly aware of the many good reasons why victims of sexual assault choose to keep it to themselves, even when the perpetrator is not one of the country’s most famous billionaires?
You should be feel embarrassed for saying this after all the discussions recently over people like Cosby and Ailes.
And especially because some of these women didn’t wait to come forward. Some of them sued and settled cases with Trump years ago. Some were just not paid attention to until the straw-on-the camel’s-back moment.
I thought I read the far-shot (showing more of the room) made that look much more innocuous. But I can’t find the video for it at the moment.
There’s a real danger of Clinton having to defend herself against volumes of false information. TrumpBart’s got nothing to lose at this point, so they’ll probably make up outrageous claim after outrageous claim and leave it to fact checkers to sort out who’s right and who’s not. I am cautiously optimistic that tried and true Clinton supporters aren’t buying into the nonsense but this could affect the soft underbelly of whatever independent support she might have. I suspect TrumpBart will save their most devastating falsification campaign for after the debates, or perhaps just a day before it.
I will be so glad when this shit show is over – at least I think I will.
Looks like Trump and his supporters are now nuking their campaign with “Repeal the 19th” (amendment) hashtags and tweets after polls showed Trump could win, if only women didn’t have the right to vote. :smack:
Predictably, there’s been an epic backlash.
Particularly when women are well aware currently of how easy it is to be harassed via internet. Coming out means that they will wake up to email threatening to rape and murder them. It means their children will be threatened. Their private life will be exposed - including their address. They will be less safe.
Meanwhile the silence from GOP officials who can’t decide whether to endorse or un-endorse or re-endorse a sexual predator…is deafening. This party is diseased. Unless the party completely collapses and reorganizes itself with a new message, I will never, ever vote republican again. I will make sure to vote all up and down the ballot and if I see an ‘R’ I vote against it - period.
I have always been a leftie but I would occasionally vote for a Republican. Last time that happened was 1990. By the Clinton impeachment era, I refused to vote for any Republicans. But that’s not a healthy situation. You can’t keep the Democratic Party accountable if they have no credible opposition.
Cohen never will. He’s Trump’s macho douchebag lawyer; the same guy who spat “says WHO?!” on CNN when confronted with Trump’s falling poll numbers. This is a man who, when confronted with reality, responds with juvenile high school bullying and then walks off saying how he won the argument. Not playing chess with a pigeon so much as an orangutan: he flips the board, mauls his opponent, and then lumbers off to brag at the masterful chess game he just played.
It’s clear why Trump likes him so much; they’re two peas in a pod. Two “men” who never grew out of being insecure high school jocks. They’re both too immune to reality to ever change. I hope Cohen goes down with the Trumptanic in November.
Thank you, thank you. I am very proud, even though I said the last two or three months rather than the last month, and I said 1 per week when it looks like we’ll get 2 or 3 dumps per week. But even I can’t get everything right.
??? When did I predict she would lose?
