Trump caught on a hot mic talking about groping women

 
 
 
The chairman of Donald Trump’s Virginia campaign said Friday that the Republican presidential candidate had “acted like a frat boy, as a lot of guys do.”

"I don't think you understood what was -- this was locker room talk. I'm not proud of it. I apologize to my family. I apologize to the American people. Certainly I'm not proud of it. But this is locker room talk."

First of all, I don't believe that discussing sexual assault is at all normal in locker rooms or frat houses, but I do think this "defense" of what Trump says is indicative of "rape culture".

Tamme, a tight end with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons, asked that Trump “please stop saying ‘locker room talk,'” adding that “it’s not normal. And even if it were normal, it’s not right.”

The difference is one is bravado or ego talking. "She's hot, I'd do her" (This does happen)
The other is predatory sexual language like a rapist and or someone whose committed sexual assault might say. "I can do what I want. Kiss, grope or fondle, or touch her - without her consent - and I can get away with that because I'm famous." (This generally does not happen)

It is a fine line, but Trump crossed way way way over it.
 
Man, I've never boasted about sex in my life. I have never boasted about being able to commit sexually assault on women. And I certainly wouldn't wait to be asked a third or fourth time to answer "No" to the question, 'Have you ever sexually assaulted any woman'.

:eek: I mean, even for Trump that is pretty bad. Does this finally sink him? I mean, does he have to rape Barbara Bush?

Trump's new campaign slogan is hard to fit on a bumper sticker, but it has the advantage of being true:


"I'm not nearly as bad as the sexual predator who's my golfing buddy."

But I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut that in private you've made crude comments to other men, not women, about women. And not necessarily bragging about what you got, although you might very well have, but just talking about what you'd like to do. What you think she looks like naked, etc.

I'll take that bet.
 
A bunch of instant polls suggests Clinton was seen as this debate's winner, for what that is worth. A new Wall Street - NBC poll, one of the first since Trump's unfortunate tape release, shows Clinton ahead by 14%.. We will have to wait a few days to see how the full disaster has shaped up pollwise.
Huff poll shows an aggregate of 5% in a 4 way race, Real Clear Politics, 5.1% in a 4 way race. It don't look good for der Donald. I think he's toast. The big question is, will he drag down other Republicans (other than Pence) with him.

There will be a lot of drunken Republicans the day after election day it looks like.

Can't quite say that - I think I must have made some boasting comments when I was a teen, as I was quite insecure despite being the guy who got the girl more often than not. But I wasn't like that when I was 59 years old. Or 49. Or 39. Or 29.
But then, I wasn't born and raised to feel entitled, and given tens or hundreds of millions of dollars to squander. Maybe it's not teh Donald's fault, but he's damaged goods and totally unfit to look after this country. Or a hamster.

Civil rights lawyer Gloria Allred said this week that women have begun contacting her with allegations that they were sexually harassed or abused by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. After news broke over the weekend that Trump had bragged about groping women on a leaked 2005 video, Allred confirmed to Gothamist on Monday that she had been “contacted by women who allege inappropriate contact by Mr. Trump.”

I also expect other videos to slowly leak out over the next four weeks, probably once ever 5 days or so since that is the maximum attention span of the general population.

I've been timing them... about 3 days is the average interval. They probably have 9 more cases ready to go, and will be releasing the next one on Wednesday.

This happened with Bill. Hilary tried to make these go away with out of court settlements. Of course many of these were also timed for the election. What about the economy and employment; boring of course. This makes entertaining viewing and reading.
 
So a man walks into a bar, and sits down. He starts a conversation with an old guy next to him. The old guy has obviously had a few. He says to the man:
"You see that dock out there? Built it myself, hand crafted each piece, and it's the best dock in town! But do they call me "McGregor the dock builder"? No! And you see that bridge over there? I built that, took me two months, through rain, sleet and scoarching weather, but do they call me "McGregor the bridge builder"? No! And you see that pier over there, I built that, best pier in the county! But do they call me "McGregor the pier builder"? No!"
The old guy looks around, and makes sure that nobody is listening, and leans to the man, and he says:
"but you fuck one sheep..."

Until election day, Trump will be the "pussy grabber". There is no way to make it go away. Stop smirking!

Trump's plan with the economy is to drastically cut revenue, increase spending... and somehow balanced budgets.
