    Trump jr says "women who can't handle harassment should teach kindergarden".

    Doesn't stop,does it?

    I think women who can should reach down and castrate them!

    I wonder what would happen to the ladies if they had the penis and the men had the vaginas?

  8. From the BBC website this morning....
    Meanwhile, Trumps campaign presented a British man who disputed the account of Ms Leeds, now 74, who said that when she was 38 Mr Trump groped her on a flight to New York, acting "like an octopus".
    The New York Post reported that Anthony Gilberthorpe contacted Mr Trump's campaign to counter the claim. In an interview with the paper he said: "I was there, I was in a position to know that what she said was wrong, wrong, wrong."

    However, that small slice of engineered counter-claim is somewhat tempered by the following extra information:
    Mr Gilberthorpe made headlines in 2014 when he alleged that he had provided underage boys to British politicians for sex parties.

    or that I favour Romanian nationals in this respect other women of other nationalities, or ...

    There's no connection between the two and only a communist would suggest otherwise.

    American politics are really very simple. The issues are race and class. The Republicans are in favor of treating the very rich much better and everyone else somewhat worse, while reserving a special kicking for those with brown skin. Whites who lack the character or advantages to ever make much of themselves vote for them since, as they won’t be the ones getting a special kicking, their relative status will rise, which is more important to them than their actual status sinking. The Democrats, on the other hand, are in favor of doing **** all (these days--they used to be in favor of occasionally doing something vaguely sensible), and tend to get votes from brown skinned people and light skinned ones who aren’t assholes--a minority, according to the polls.

    Donald Trump wants businesses to have less regulations from the US government.
    He also blames them for not using regulations to stop him from exporting jobs and importing goods.
    Er, what?

    "Donald Trump may have groped numerous women, but Bill Clinton had consensual sex with someone!"

    Can somebody please explain to Trump apologists where this argument, which I've seen and heard numerous times in the past week, fails miserably?

    Which part?

    Can someone tell him that he's not up against Bill Clinton or Obama?
    He doesn't seem to know.

    Not criticising you HBIC, but I find the accepted useage of the word "apologist" somewhat bizarre.

    It seems to have crept into the language in recent years as a weapon of the politically correct left wing mob who seek to impose their values unquestioned upon society.

    It is really meaningless, other than as a way of painting those who do not share such views as somehow immoral and unacceptable for having a particular view on an issue.

    I actually consider it one of the more obvious symptoms of our brainwashed 21st century culture.

    Apologist? It's not a derogatory word.
    Some people call themselves Christian apologists, for example.

    I disagree. Imo, the word is usually used to imply that the cause that you have argued is immoral, and that in raising this argument you share the immorality.

    apologist
    əˈpɒlədʒɪst/
    noun
    1. a person who offers an argument in defence of something controversial.
    So, no, my usage of the word "apologist" is not bizarre, and certainly not "politically correct" or because I'm part of some "left wing mob" - it's an accurate use of the word.
