Clearly you’ve never been blind

Colbert is having him on for one reason. He will get Bush to say that that tape is real and that Trump is a lying sack of shit for putting out the false narrative that it was not his voice on the tape. After that. He can go back to where ever he came from.

Yeah, I have no idea why the writer is so appalled by this. It’s very timely to bring this audio of Trump into the light again as he tries to hide it.

Yeah, you just contradicted yourself there, broseph. If women aggressively throw themselves at rich assholes, why would rich assholes ever need to aggressively go after women?

If someone pulls a gun on me and demands my wallet I’m going to let them take it, but that doesn’t mean I consented to the situation.

And then deliberately positioned himself and Trump so that Trump could cop the feel he was more-or-less insinuating was coming, so he was planning to help a guy grab a woman without her permission.

He says “they let you” but what he means is “they can’t do anything about it and know to keep their traps shut.” He’s not selling himself or his money as irresistible, just untouchable (in every sense).

It’s revolting and that transition you refer to, where their behaviour before and after they meet the female co-host is caught and compared, is flooring. But as an interviewer Bush was so good at making the Donald comfortable enough to go into ultimate bro mode that I have always felt grateful to him for his part in…

They can fire him for any reason they like (within the law), as is their right. They didn’t want to carry the controversy in which he was involved (obviously not a good look for the show / network), so they cut him loose. His behavior also likely violated a morality clause in his contract. He fucked himself over.

Nah, at no point in his boasting does he discuss women’s attraction to him. Immediately before the “You can do anything” quote, he saw the pretty woman he was about to meet for the first time and talked about how it is likely he will start kissing her. “I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her.…

How about the “Just kiss. I don’t even wait” part?

The fact that he bragged about peeping on 14 year olds changing at Miss Teen USA has a lot less room for excuses. The dude’s a gross predator no matter how you cut it.

Also I think it’s interesting that Trump didn’t brag to Billy Bush that women throw themselves at him. He bragged that they don’t resist when he grabs…

You’re probably right. Still, I’m going to hope Billy’s attempts at redemption are going to debut on Colbert as he releases the full director’s cut of the tape, which will be even worse. It won’t change anything for 45's fans, but I think I only run on anger and booze at this point. I need to refuel.

“Grab” implies force or invasiveness by its very nature. “Pardon me, miss, if it wouldn’t be too forward, would it be quite alright with you if I were to grab you by the pussy?” See, it just doesn’t sound right. It’s a forced, invasive action that is tolerated, or at least not resisted, because the woman is too…

I’m not a fan of this guy but I really don’t know why he got fired. He giggled. Big whoop. I’ve giggled in awkward situations where I can’t say the truth or roll my eyes.

Could be he just went for it (he did say he can’t help himself) and they didn’t stop him because they were scared. Given he’s a rotting old sack of flab and grease, I’d say this is more likely than the women welcoming it.

Can you make sure to wear a flashing light or something so people know not to get within arms’ reach of you and your creative definition of implied consent?

Alternately, fuck them all.

I actually think it’s refreshing to reminisce back on a simpler time, when giggling along with a predatory asshole’s narcisstic boasts of irresistable sexual prowess was a fireable offence. Nowadays, said asshole is President, a torrent of public figures (far more beloved than Billy Bush) have turned out to be…

The why is easy. Bush will confirm it was Trump speaking on the Access Hollywood tape. Trump has decided to start denying it was him. I knew someone would call upon Bush to say it was Trump and it wasn’t altered. Smart move by Colbert.
