“That she decades later walked it back doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen.”

Ivana accused him of rape during their divorce proceedings. It’s odd that she would do that but never file criminal charges, especially since the statute of limitations hadn’t expired. To some, that might suggest that the accusation was the fury of a woman scorned who was going through a bitter divorce and was trying…

Yes, that happens, too.

Oh, please. Politicians get caught lying all the time and manage to weather the storm, as long as the lie itself wasn’t a crime (e.g., perjury).

“Trump’s ex-wife testified in court that he raped her. And his lawyers defense (and by extension his own) was “she was his wife, so if can’t be rape”.

“Plus, you know, the man has admitted outright a long time ago now on the infamous hoo-haah tape he has no consideration whatsoever for women, so the step to outright rape just isn’t very far.”

“If you apply the same standards to both sides, why are you disingenuously pretending that this even remotely rises to the same standard as AT LEAST TWENTY TWO WOMEN accusing Donald Trump of varying levels of sexual assault, along with him straight up admitting to doing it on audio recording”

“Guiliani banged his cousin while married and seems to be okay.”

“I mean Trump himself boastfully admitted to sexually assaulting women, so...”

“No, we are taking Trump at his word.”

Don’t give me that “both sides” bullshit, as if I had said something akin to Trump commenting on Charlottesville. I said that the same evidentiary standards should apply to both sides. (Please forgive my egalitarianism.) If you can’t get behind that idea, then you are living in the wrong country and the wrong century.

“Bill Clinton was impeached for perjury/obstruction, not adultery.”

I specifically didn’t mention people like Jack Ryan, Dennis Hastert, Larry Craig, or Mark Foley, to name a few. I wanted to avoid examples that had something “extra”...like sex clubs, pedophilia, homosexuality, underage partners, etc...

Although I wouldn’t make such sweeping generalizations about members of those groups, I agree with the basic underlying idea. A significant portion—dare I say most—of those people are going to give Trump a pass on almost everything because, just like my opponents in this discussion, they have one set of rules for…

I only saw the third episode, and it was the most unfunny thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I didn’t laugh once—and it’s not because I didn’t get the jokes.

So, just to be clear, you’re not going to believe the story about Omar until you see some evidence, but you’re taking people at their word that Trump is a rapist. And you don’t see the contradiction there? (For the record, I am not a Trump supporter. I’m just someone who has the same standards for both sides.)

It makes sense. Hasbro mostly makes products for children. Why not buy a record label that puts out juvenile music?

Given the two sentences that immediately preceded her gaffe (“Now as you can see, Fin was fascinated by the camera,” and “Definitely ready for his close up”), it sounded like she was trying to make a playful joke about the vain, attention-seeking anchorman trope. By “it kinda looks like you,” I think she meant, “It…

There are adults who still watch the VMA’s? That’s so sad.

“...because he made yet another gaffe (which most older black voters don’t care about)...”
