Trump runs for POTUS/ Trumped Up! Part VI

[Biscuit]

I don't actually have any big problem with Trump's comments about women. I don't think that way but it's about what I would expect from The Don. I agree people are entitled to private lives, even Donald Trump.

What actually bothered me more was Trump trying to defend himself by alluding to private conversations he'd had with Bill Clinton while the two were playing golf together. They played golf together because at one point they were friendly; as I have previously posted, as recently as 2008 Trump was describing Clinton as a "great president." (And saying Hillary Clinton would make a "great president" too.)

The way Trump can immediately turn on people who were once friends and become really vicious is, to my mind, a lot more damning than his stupid comments about his 'lusty lifestyle.'

Sexual assault is not a "lifestyle."

WTF!

Some of my favorite responses,

Social media filled with anti-Trump remarks. You just killed your daughter's brand, you know, the one you want to date?

A picture of toast

Calling for a complete and total shutdown of Trump interacting with women until we figure out what is going on.

Probably been the worst 24 hours for a presidential candidate ever. They're still probably talking about this on cable news (well maybe not Fox News) non stop.

I have MSNBC on this morning. Some evangelical preacher is arguing that we should be ashamed of ourselves for kicking trump when he is down.

When you put this video together with the revelations from last week about his behaviour towards female staff/contestants on 'The Apprentice' you really have to wonder how the hell Trump has avoided at least a civil action over his behaviour.

I just got back from 2032, and they're still talking about this, there!


Check out the Trump/Pence schedule page. Pence shows no bookings at all. And the notice about Pence going to Wisconsin is not there any longer.

Are they just scrambling to find new places to send the sacrificial Hoosier, or is their trouble in paradise?

Those people who are looking for someone to follow are unambiguous, mental slaves. Their desires should carry no weight.

That must be me. Don't take this the wrong way Bob. But screw you when you call me a slave and that my desires should carry no weight.

I want my President to represent me in the best possible light and offer aspirational messages as opposed to being someone I should constantly be saying "WTF", and saying to my Grandchildren, " don't grow up to be like the President".

Watching Tucker Carlson have an aneurysm this morning while I enjoyed a hot cup of coffee was the perfect way to start the morning. On days like this, only having Fox News is A-OK!

Kicking him while he's down? I have been thinking that we should be doing a Brooklyn boot stomp on his face.

Congresswoman Martha Roby and Senator Mike Crapo have withdrawn their endorsements. Republicans in safe races are jumping ship now.

 

[chrispy]

WTF!

Thanks for that. Pure hilarity throughout.

What in the world are you talking about now?

Earlier, you were making that absurd statements about how 'President has legal power to torture people' and now you have this absurd statements about how the 'desires of some people should carry no weight'.

Do you actually have no idea of how a democracy is supposed to work?

That's an easy one. He's super-rich (or at least generally believed to be so) and people tend to see the super-rich as legally untouchable (especially in civil court) because they can afford to hire the best lawyers and do so indefinitely.

Did Trump pull a "Howard Hughes" and lock himself away in his apartment, surrounded by jars of his own urine?

Kelly Ayotte is out now too.

Tweet of the day on Trump's feed : 'Don't judge me by the man I was 11 years ago, but judge Hillary by the man her husband was 20 years ago'

Trump Tells WSJ 'I Never Give Up' and Getting 'Unbelievable' Support

Support? From whom? Pickup artists?

 

[Biscuit]

Well, it won't affect the creeps that currently support him, and, to be fair, there are a good number of them. But those with any decency?

Come on, Mike Pence. How can you look at yourself in the mirror and say, "This is the guy I, as an uptight evangelical, want to be my president"?

If this doesn't make a major hit in his evangical support, the only demographic that he really has left, then that is a serious indictment of them.

Evangelical preacher and trumper on MSNBC this morning said trump has apologized so shame on us for "kicking him while he is down."

I saw this comment on NBC:

GRAB AMERICA BY THE P*SSY!
Trump / Pence 2016

Supreme Court Justice: Repeat after me. "I Donald "grab them by the pussy" trump do affirm..."

They (and Pence) will say that this was a long time ago and that Donald is a different man now. Remember, they're all about forgiveness.

Unless you had a private server.

I have to agree with him. I find his support unbelievable as well.

 

[Tony Stark]

Robert Costa was on the phone on MSNBC. He spoke to Donald earlier and pressed him on whether he will drop out. Donald says that there is a zero percent chance of that. He thinks he can still beat Hillary and Republicans should stick with him.

Excellent.

Are you kidding? Most pickup artists aren't rich celebrities and thus have to at least pretend to have class. Trump just isn't one of them.

Now he gets to experience a humiliating defeat. If he drops out, he'll always think that he could have won.

Yeah, that's true. I've known a guy or two who seems agreeable and thoughtful, but who gets pretty revolting once you start talking about women in a sexual way.

And this is one of the problems. The conflation of "sexual way" and "sexual assault". Sexual assault really doesn't have anything to do with sex. It is violence and power/control.

Not pointed at you TubbaBubba; a lot of defenders are talking like Trump's description of his assaults are related to "locker room sex talk" or normal appreciation for attractive women.
