“when you’re a star, they let you do it”

bury this turd, he's done

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

I used to think that as you get older and your testosterone levels decrease you become less of a pervert. But honestly at this point I think aging actually makes men worse.

Sorry man. Those old guys are some of the biggest perverts around. Remember that they grew up in a time where they could sexually harass and assault women in the office and nothing was ever done to them. Watch Mad Men, that shit was no joke.

 

[Mahonay]

Hillary grabbed Ben Ghazi's wife's crotch before she beat him to death with an email server.

Believe me. It's true folks, look it up!

 

[thepotatoman]

K. Maybe I didn't catch the straight up rapey bits. I was listening whilst making dinner.

You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful -- I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.

And when you’re a star they let you do it, You can do anything.

Grab her by the pussy.

You can do anything

I'm a little surprised the rapey part is not getting much play. Is there any other way to interpret it?

"Because I'm a star, I can just kiss them or grab their pussy whenever I want and they'll let me do it."

 

[WonkyPanda]

i think this is it.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Flashback: Trump business associate accused Trump of repeatedly grabbing for her crotch



Federal court lawsuit documents from 1997

WHOOPS.

i think this is it.

but he's got so many women

probably binders full

 

[Fitts]

Fitts and his friends apparently.

I like how y'all keep saying "friends" as though they're the only ones I've ever heard objectify women.

 

[Fat4all]

I wanna see the Trump surrogate spin, anyone got some hot takes for me? I wanna see how these motherfuckers turn this into a "but Hillary...".

 

[FStop7]

I like how y'all keep saying "friends" as though they're the only ones I've ever heard objectify women.

Dude you're the one who said it. If you're gonna get mad get mad at yourself.

 

[Protein]

But but Bill! Hillary! But but!

 

[giga]

my feed is lit rn

 

[.JayZii]

Believe me. It's true folks, look it up!

Why would I? I already saw someone post it on a forum. All that's left to do is spread the word.

 

[x3sphere]

He's got to be done for now right? This is pretty damning stuff

 

[Bellamin]

NOPE.

I am a 30 year old outgoing male and I do not talk about women like this. I know some guys that do and in general they really don't have much respect for women at all.

I don't either and neither do my friends. My dad, a staunch Kansas conservative, said it best, "A man doesn't act like that."

 

[Meowster]

How did Jeb! and Little Marco not do any real oppo research? And Cruz could have looked like the golden boy but he had to go sniveling back to the sinking ship.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

He's got to be done for now right? This is pretty damning stuff

this is what's going to happen. he's going to apologize and instruct his surrogates to not entertain the matter any further. he will then hope the press stop talking about it and that the voters demonstrate once again that they have short memories.

 

[The Lamonster]

He's got to be done for now right? This is pretty damning stuff

Yep. He may drop out of the debate. He might drop out of the race. He's fucked and so is any politician that continues to support him after this.

 

[studyguy]

I almost miss this old hit album.
Absolutely tame in comparison

 

[Mark L]

Yeah, the whole "all guys do it" narrative is one of those deals that says more about the speaker than it does about "all guys".

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

oh man at all the support articles of sexual harassment.
the guy is a legit fucking creep.

I have to believe that any straight dude isn't surprised nor offended by this. Literally every one of them I've known (myself included) has spoken about women during private conversation in a similar objectified manner -- only more vulgar than what's recorded here. Sure none of us have been rich/famous so the specifics are different but the sentiment is the same. Hell, I doubt that Obama abstained from any and all guy talk during his eight years in office, and if he did the man is a saint.

Don't get me wrong, Trump is a scumbag, but stuff like this doesn't shape my opinion of him. And it was ten years ago ffs.

Edit... addition from later post for y'all that are just going to read over it: K. Maybe I didn't catch the straight up rapey bits. I was listening whilst making dinner.

lol i thought it was a joke post till you edit. no chill. damn.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

And his followers will think "fucking women so easily offended, they were probably asking to be grabbed by the p*ssy with the way some dress"


Was this the October surprise by the way? Or did that come and go?

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

grab someone by the pussy?

but they are sensitive donald, you don't just grab them you fuckin monster

 

[iammeiam]

So um, in light of this, I wonder if the likelihood of Trump backing out of Sunday's debate last-minute (citing the hurricane as his concern) will increase substantially.

I don't think he's smart enough to understand how this will hurt him; I fully expect him to do a rally with a big crowd over the weekend and assume the big crowd still being rock concert levels of enthusiast will convince him he's fine. I honestly think he thinks his rally size is an indicator of his success, and as long as the crowds are there and cheering along his every idiotic statement he'll think it's fine.

 

[FStop7]

Great question and maybe this has something to do with it:

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/201...started-fall-5-1-paid-staff-advantage-n661656

The GOP as we've known it for the past 30 years is a dying movement. It's going to keep drifting further right or it will correct and move toward the center. I guess we'll find out soon enough which it's gonna be.

 

[border]

If this audio had come out during the early primaries, what would the results have been?

 

[MIMIC]

This would be a great time for Cruz to withdraw his support.

 

[Dougieflesh]

Those statements and that "apology" are catastrophic. He's gonna squirm of Sunday.

 

[chadskin]

NBC insider says the news division was working on a story about this same tape. It "wasn't quite finalized." @Fahrenthold beat them to it...

That must suck.

Probably, but who knows. Maybe this is just the appetizer.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Would have been easier for the candidates with the evangelical base to rally against him.

 

[Pizoxuat]

It's actually a documented sign of dementia.

 

[Cerium]

Trump? Shut his mouth? I think not.

He's gonna find a way to shove both feet in there.

 

[Dan]

I think it was a mix of complacence and not knowing how to attack Trump. A lot of his vile qualities are features, not bugs, to the Republican primary voter base.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Gabbo hands are way bigger

 

[harSon]

Can't wait until Sunday

 

[Fat4all]

https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/784492541601255426

That must suck.

I wonder if they were waiting to hit him with it a little closer to the election day.

 

[brandonh83]

Him being the GOP nominee is an absolute blight on this country's history.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

I was already sad that I was going to miss this Sunday's debate, fuck I'm really disappointed now since I wanna see this fucker squirm live on tv.

This is the kind of public humiliation I hoped for, and I think it's going to get worse before it's all said and done.

 

[The Technomancer]

Holy fuck the audio quality is incredible, where the hell did this recording come from? Were they seriously wearing recording mics the entire time they were in the bus?

 

[The Lamonster]

He apologized for this.

That's your clue that this is a huge deal.

 

[Fitts]

I'm a little surprised the rapey part is not getting much play. Is there any other way to interpret it?

"Because I'm a star, I can just kiss them or grab their pussy whenever I want and they'll let me do it."

What I was referring to was the "shit she's hot" and "I'm gonna eat a tic tac" bits. That's akin to us saying "tig old bitties" and "watch... I'm gonna make her laugh." My bad for not giving this more attention, but there's been such a thirst for "gotcha!" shit with public figures for so long that it's getting old. That, and we were listening to a Jim Norton standup at work where he talked about the "fake outrage" over Paula Deen when that was going on and I was (incorrectly) drawing parallels.

Holy shit lol

 

[Tranqueris]

Could the Republican party boot him from the ticket at this point? Not that they would but is it even possible?

They were talking about it after the Khan incident (or was it during the people should assassinate Hillary to protect their guns incident?) and the only way they could have done it would have been if Trump voluntarily stepped down and even if they did get him out somehow they would have to sue every state to be able to put the replacement on the ballot.

Only MRA assholes commonly talk to their friends this way.

This.

One of my old school friends, a mother of two, would constantly post "Make America Great Again" selfies and other Trump support junk.

I'm eagerly awaiting...

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

He apologized for this.

That's your clue that this is a huge deal.

the most half-assed apology I've ever seen.

 

[JohnTinker]

I think it was a mix of complacence and not knowing how to attack Trump. A lot of his vile qualities are features, not bugs, to the Republican primary voter base.

It was Graydon Carter who brought to the forefront how to really attack him and get under his skin. That wasn't until late February.

But the absolute futility of GOP oppo researchers this cycle will be the stuff of legend.

 

[DopeyFish]

He apologized for this.

That's your clue that this is a huge deal.

Well he half apologized but didn't own the words. Also deflected into schoolyard but but but Bill Clinton!

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Is this Trumps "Binders full of women" moment? Or is this his "47%" moment?

 

[jack_package_200]

Believe me. It's true folks, look it up!

Ask Sean Hannity

 

[minor effort]

He apologized for this.

That's your clue that this is a huge deal.

It wasn't really an actual apology, because he isn't capable of that, but the swiftness of his non-apology apology was indeed a clue that this is big.

By all rights his campaign should have been ended a hundred times over by now, but this finally seems like the moment his campaign imploded.
