"They wanted it"- the classic cry of rapists and rape apologists everywhere.
Walking up and grabbing random women (a number of whom made complaints against him) cannot be excused by "they wanted it".
The Klan is less relevant than a bigger WOW guild.
That multiple Klan leaders evidently felt Trump was representative of their views is nonetheless telling, as is the fact that he did not immediately and unequivocally reject Klan endorsement.
If you have a lot of money the chances of allegations go up regardless if you are a rapist or not.
Question: why is it that a man accused of sexual assault must be presumed innocent even when he has bragged on tape about committing sexual assault, but it is evidently okay (in your mind) to make insinuations that his accusers are lying for financial gain without evidence? Because it is simply to be taken for
granted that any man accused of sexual assault is the victim of a female conspiracy?
Of course, I could just as easily flip it around and say "A powerful man is less likely to be accused because of his ability to retaliate against and intimidate his victims"- especially when the man in question is the freaking President, and has a history of vindictive litigation against his critics. Yet their are multiple people who have alleged sexual assault or harassment by Trump.
And this isn't just "He said, she said". This is "She and she and she said, and he admitted to it on tape."
And let's be honest... would it really surprise
anyone if Donald Trump of all people turned out to be a rapist? A man with a history of raging narcissism, vindictiveness, and objectification of women? I mean, sure, innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, but he's "innocent" in the same way OJ was "innocent".
Russia and some Repubs might have wanted to save the world for all i know.
Maybe. Of course, their idea of "saving the world" seems to be to "save" it from imagined threats from women and minorities, so I'll pass.
And Putin's Russia is in it purely to expand their power, and the power of Russia, at our expense.
There are standards of decency for presidents? Since when?
We've had shitty Presidents in the past, but this is the first time that a President has been regularly, openly, unapologetically offensive and criminal, and been rewarded for it. This is a normalization of all the worst aspects of society.
This shouldn't be a partisan issue. It really shouldn't. But apparently "Don't grope women" is now a Left wing position. Shame.
