i understand leaving 'the view' of course, but it's why people would go there in the first place that leaves me dumbfounded.

thank you for asking. i'm always glad to clarify for those who don't understand.

i'm talking about her words, not his.

i'm referencing her own words. it would do you some good to read more than just the above article to get a fuller picture of what i'm actually talking about.

if we're going to be speaking legally, then you need an overt act for coercion. asking in advance, even on short notice, and having someone say ok doesn't qualify. even if you say it was reasonable, and i'm not arguing otherwise, there's more that's required for any lawyer to touch this case.

that was sort of my point.

there were more than two candidates. johnson got 4 million+ votes just by himself. i can do the math step by step if you like…?

no, it's with the actress's own words. she said she was told about the day of and agreed to it. no matter how deplorable, consent negates the possibility of sexual assault. unless you want to quote me the law that says's otherwise….?

even if you want to be like that, she still didn't get most votes.

40+% of the voters didn't vote. of those who did, she got a little less than half when you include all the candidates.

it's not sexual assault when she agreed to it….again, is no one actually reading these stories? disgusting…immoral…fine. i'm right there with you on that. but it's not sexual assault.

"Most Americans did not vote for Donald Trump"

"it was still rammed against her will. Still inserted into her anus without her consent or prior knowledge."

"but if she's said she wasn't told about it "

"That's the benefit of being the last one alive to tell the story."

it can absolutely be both. all evidence suggests that it is, in fact.

the "girl versus actress" comment strikes me as being misunderstood. whatever anyone thinks of the event in its entirety, i think it's reasonable to take that as he wanted her character to have as real a reaction as possible. there's nothing outrageous about that, and it's done all the time in different ways. realism…

this is the internet. you'll have to be more specific.

i read that quote.. but, no, that's not proof of coercion. did she voice these complaints out loud? if you read the quote, it sounds as if she was merely thinking this, or possibly even came to these conclusions later. also, if she did voice them, what did they say? did they threaten her career somehow? it's…
