That "locker-room" talking point sure gets around fast.

 

[rjinaz]

holy shit, someone on CNN just put their credibility on the line to assert a friend of theirs was a victim of sexual assault by Trump via the tictac & kiss chill.

She came forward with that the moment this story broke. Disgusting Trump.

 

[rjinaz]

Holy shit Corey is getting murdered on CNN right now.

"I don't believe something happened unless I hear it first hand".

Too bad that logic doesn't seem to apply to all things Hillary.

I wonder if your Dad realizes that by agreeing with this he is acknowledging that he likes to talk about sexual assault with other guys.

Edit: Triple post. Sorry thread moving slower now than I thought.

I'm hoping we see a video in the same style as the one put together by Joss Whedon but this time with athletes in a locker room saying they don't talk about sexual assault.

I'm in the car, so I can't take a listen.

But let me hazard a guess that the language on show there is probably more of an angry type versus admitting to sexual assault, talking about trying to seduce married women while themselves married and using their prestige to be women.

Just a guess.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

A few people on my Facebook are always boiling downTrump's character as "so he says a few mean things, but Clinton did this and deleted those emails and got those people killed."

 

[chadskin]

When Bill Clinton's sex scandals were still fresh back in the 1990s, however, Trump took a much different approach to discussing them — expressing sympathy for Hillary Clinton, defending Bill Clinton and dismissing his accusers, and in one interview with Howard Stern, making light of Bill Clinton's infidelity.

Speaking with Wolf Blitzer in November 1999 in video reviewed by CNN's KFile, Trump said Hillary Clinton had been through more public controversy than any women should have to bear.

"I think she's gone through terrible times," Trump told Blitzer in the interview. "I think she's been through more than any woman should have to bear — everything public. I mean, women go through this on a private basis and can't take it, she's on the front page of every newspaper every week with what went on in Washington."

A month before, in an interview with CNBC, Trump expressed a similar sentiment about Hillary Clinton and blasted the independent investigator Ken Starr as "a total wacko."

"I think she's a very, very good person," Trump said of Clinton. "I think she's had a very tough life the last few years. I mean, what could be tougher than that? I mean, can you imagine those evenings when he's just being lambasted by this crazy Ken Starr, who is a total wacko? There's the guy. I mean, he is totally off his rocker. And can you imagine being lambasted like that all day and then saying, 'Darling, what are we having for dinner?' It's gotta be pretty tough."

Trump also repeatedly dismissed and at times mocked Bill Clinton's accusers.

In a 2008 interview with CNN, Trump called the Lewinsky scandal "totally unimportant" and said it was "nonsense" that Republicans tried to impeach him.

In another interview, with CNBC in 1998 and first unearthed by the Washington Post, Trump called Clinton accuser Paula Jones "a loser." In August 1998, Trump again dismissed Jones, and said Bill Clinton was actually the victim.

"I don't necessarily agree with his victims," Trump said to Fox News' Neil Cavuto in a clip uncovered earlier in the year by the "Daily Beast." "His victims are terrible. He is, he is really a victim himself. But he put himself in that position."

"These people are just, I don't know, where he met them - where he found them," Trump continued. "But the whole group — it's truly an unattractive cast of characters. Linda Tripp, Lucianne Goldberg, I mean, this woman, I watch her on television. She is so bad. The whole group, Paula Jones, Lewinsky, it's just a really unattractive group. I'm not just talking about physical."

The Trump campaign did not return a request for comment.

He's quoting a book, and he's making a nuanced speech about context.

It really couldn't be any more ironic that the right is using this.

My aunt shared a picture with the following:

So Trump was talking like 'a guy' in a private conversation 11 years ago?

But did anyone die?? Because I'm pretty sure people died waiting for Clinton to do her job.

I don't even know...

Wouldn't surprise me if Trump got his apology from a song.

Unfortunately, they'll continue this false narrative until November.

Glenn Beck is no longer supporting Trump?

Geez and r/the_donald waste no time calling him a cuck and a stupid goon.

Glenn Beck has never supported Trump; he has always hated him and ranted about it. He was on Cruz's dick and then when Cruz went Trump he flipped out.

... its like people defending this either are missing the point, or deliberately trying to misconstrue it. Its not about crass language, it's about a guy bragging about sexual assault. Hes bragging about shit he's done to women.

 

[Biske]

It's next week that really matters. Especially since there's inevitably going to be more gaffes. Trump will probably fuck up even 2-3 days before we actually vote.

Early voting is already under way. He is imploding at the worst possible time.

Even if some how he turns this all around in a few weeks.. a lot of people will have already voted.

 

[WordAssassin]

It's hilarious in its stupidity, it's a bizzarro world.

Wh.. but... but that's exactly what TRUMP said!?!? I don't..!?! HUH!??

He never did as far as I know, not for any good reasons though, but because he's a fucking nutcase who supported Ted Cruz.

A few people on my Facebook are always boiling downTrump's character as "so he says a few mean things, but Clinton did this and deleted those emails and got those people killed."

I challenged someone with this argument last night just for the hell of it.

Let's accept the claim that Clinton is morally deficient and/or incompetent at statecraft and that she did bad things while in power. Fine. But if she is, his character seems easily just as flawed, if not more, raising the question how do we know he won't do just as heinous things with the power as she did?

It's a bizarre argument because you see people treating Hillary like the devil and then saying things like "We didn't elect Trump to be Pope." Which are just contradictory things. If Hillary doesn't have scruples, you can't reply that you intentionally elected someone without scruples...

This is the second time i've seen Beck do something human-like recently and it's worrying.

 

[Tranqueris]

Palmer Luckey is probably using that money to buy himself an island and populate it with people who don't consider him a social pariah. Hell, maybe he can take Billy Bush along.

Now, admittedly, I don't understand how leak fees "work"... but if you really, really don't want the tape to get out, why not just set it to some outrageous amount like $10 billion?

 

[Bedlam]

Holy shit. This is madly stupid. Did someone play him the Trump tape at some point?

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Beck has been a never trump guy since the beginning, or close to it.

 

[StopMakingSense]

I think penalties like that usually end up being thrown out in court.

Then the person with the tapes would sue the producers. They probably signed some agreement years ago and that's where the 5 mil comes from.

so uh

“He is the only one who can get us out of the mess we’re in,” said Jeannie Rodriguez. She was an immigrant, “but I’m a legal immigrant,” she added. “I don’t care what he said. That was in the past, we all have our pasts.” Her eight-year-old daughter Gabriela stood listening. “My responsibility as a parent is to filter information for her,” Rodriguez said. “I don’t have to explain it to her because right now because she can’t handle it. I’m the one who’s going to filter information to her.” (Gabriela, for her part, was still supporting Trump “because he’s good” and “he’s going to make America great again!”)

A 17-year-old who has been volunteering for the Trump campaign, and who also didn’t want his name used, was explaining to a bystander that Trump’s comments weren’t predatory because they let him do it because he’s a star, and that is a form of consent.

A college student who worked at nearby Rockefeller Center who leans toward Clinton wandered over to see what this was all about. “That man over there, with the horn, he was telling me that Hillary is a witch, that she practices witchcraft." The man with the horn—a ram’s horn called a shofar and used in Jewish ritual—was Johnny Rice, a messianic Christian from Washington, D.C., decked out in Trump regalia. After some discussions of Bill Clinton’s sexual transgressions, I asked him if he had been telling the young man over there that Hillary is a witch. A relieved and knowing look came over his face. “Oh, for real, for real,” he said nodding with the gratitude of someone finally being understood. (The shofar, he told me, was part of his studying Judaism to understand Jesus better and to “turbocharge” his prayers.) “Have you heard of Alex Jones? Alex has the behind-the-scenes people, like Larry Nichols. And I was even able to call Larry personally, and he said he asked Bill one time, how come Hillary flies to L.A. once a month? And he said, Hillary is going to witchcraft meetings.”

Do you know of any spells she’s cast? I asked him.

“I mean, didn’t travel with her to these witchcraft meetings but, as a Christian I have spiritual discernment,” he said. “I can discern Hillary. I can tell she’s into that stuff.”

Right, obviously they couldn't have anticipated how hot an item it would become.

Those are Trump caucusers. That's hardly interesting data. We're waiting on info about the demos that were more tenuously in his grasp like independents, moderate Republicans and evangelicals.

Congrats on getting just 40% of the popular vote and not expanding your base of support. Congrats on losing the election. That is why it is over. You basically posted trump supporters will vote for trump. Talk about an over simplification.
