Aren’t we all just Temporarily Embarrassed White TV Hosts?

It’s difficult to fight the impulse of self-preservation, though. Sexual assault is a physical threat, and because most men are bigger/more physically powerful than the women they’re touching or harassing, most women’s first reaction is to deescalate the situation so they don’t get hurt. I think it’s unfair to say…

This summer while I was in Paris, one afternoon I was sitting and working by myself at a café when three men (that I neither knew nor invited) sat at my table with me.

Trump is incapable of dealing with a woman his age on a level playing field when she doesn’t work for him, sleep with him, isn’t in a bikini, and is smart and capable. He just has no idea how to deal with her - so he doesn’t. He attacks Bill, who’s a man. Now he can attack Obama. He is attacking AROUND her because he…

The Clinton campaign is also making a late push in Arizona. Hillary and Trump are in a dead heat there now.

I can see that being something that might actually distract him. He’ll be so thoroughly enraged at this “left wing tactic” that he’ll just devolve into a literally sniffling pile of side eye and word salad. I mean, more so than usual.

This might explain why Trump is getting whiny about how the election might turn out;

No this was like that other girl at the wedding who really hated you so invited the brides ex-boyfriend and you kind of know the bride from work.

Are we absolutely certain that he knows he’s debating Clinton and not Obama?

This isn’t strategic. This is a narcissist striking back at an enemy (Obama’s remarks must have cut him real deep). Avenging his ego is vastly more important to him than running an effective campaign.

Right? Like, why would Hillary give a shit about him bringing the half-brother of Obama to a debate? He’s not her relative, he’s not an American voter, and he has no ties to the Clintons. So confused.

This is kinda like that time my ex brought my ex best friend that he fucked while we were married as his date to a wedding where we were both mutual guests. But worse?

I don’t know whether or not it’s reassuring that Trump is no longer able to shoot straight when it comes to embarrassing guests at debates. If Hillary didn’t give a shit about Paula Jones et al., she sure as fuck isn’t going to blink at Barack’s estranged relative. Trump is really losing it.

I think this is Trump dogwhistling to his birther bros.

NPR described the “rigged” line of argument as “more of a white flag than a serious strategy”. I laughed, but it was a dry, bitter, mean laugh. All that I have left in me, it seems.

Yeah the fact that the half-brother agreed to this would explain why they don’t have a great relationship.

Shouldn’t you have asked that question before your first comment?

For crying out loud, everyone, stop crying “false flag.” The solution to this is not paranoia or finger pointing.

What about Jawbreaker?

I don’t know any women who haven’t experienced some form of sexual assault or harassment. I’m so in awe of the bravery of those who have come forward and I hope that it empowers other women to do the same or at least to realize that they are not alone.
