“Yet another woman is alleging that she witnessed inappropriate sexual advances by Donald Trump, now the Republican nominee for president,” the Huffington Post reports.
“Lisa Boyne, a health food business entrepreneur, described a disturbing episode in the mid-1990s: While at a restaurant with her and others, she said Trump paraded women in front of their table, looked under women’s skirts, and commented on whether they were wearing underwear.”
Said Boyne: “It was the most offensive scene I’ve ever been a part of. I wanted to get the heck out of there.”
Bill should apologize to all the women he mistreated, even if he remembers them differently or barely remembers them at all. No matter what he remembers thinking or feeling at the time, the encounters impacted the women differently and stuck with them their whole lives. Minding our own business is one thing, but on a personal level there’s no such thing as harmless, consensual, adult fun.
When it comes to strategy, Trump is in a class of his own. So he knows he’s got a few skeletons in the harassment/sex assault closet, and his strategy to deal with it is to remind everyone how bad that is by going after Bill Clinton. He could have said “it happened years ago” or “why should we believe those women” but all that went out of the window when he brought Bill into it.
Forgetting the sleaze and slime of Bossie and Burton I want to know how they have financed their, or Bossie alone’s, career for all this time? It took money in the 90s and it seems that even before Bill became President they went digging. Who was paying?
And to another side of this if this was organized by the GOP why didn’t they do this kind of research on Trump?
This time NEXT MONTH, Hillary will be our NEW President and we’ll be in the shower washing TRUMP out of our hair. He’ll still be ranting on TWITTER for hours on end…and eventually everyone will go abut their business and FORGET ALL ABOUT HIM,
BYEM BYE TRUMP.
Obama to Trump, “You’re so easily provoked”…“Now I’m going kick back’n relax and enjoy MY LEGACY. What-you going to do?”…LOL
Roger Ailes, Steve Bannon and David Bossie should go after their enemies in the Republican party particularly Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and Reince Priebus for the next 3 weeks. These men are crooked, sleazy and corrupt and are undermining Donald Trump’s core message of incest with his daughters, child rape with Jeffrey Epstein and other New York pedophiles, assault and sexual predation with Roger Ailes, groping and grabbing on his own. Mike Pence who is a christian first has said that these are bible-based conservatives family values that he loves about Donald Trump.
It does tend to get ignored when none of the accusations bear up under scrutiny - even though Republican-led investigations spent tens of millions of dollars trying to find something conclusive - though of course it doesn’t disappear as long as there are bottom-feeders like you to dredge it up from the sewers it was flushed down.
The biggest problem the right has with getting accusations of rape, groping, and non-consensual sexual activity to stick to Bill Clinton is that it doesn’t fit the psychological profile we all have of him in the same way that it does someone like Trump.
By which I mean, Bill Clinton’s whole political personality and career seems built on a compulsive need to be approved of, liked, and accepted. The turn-on for Bill is to be wanted by women, consensually, not to force himself on them non-consensually.
Trump, on the other hand, is clearly motivated by the desire to dominate - and forcing himself on women, dominating them without their consent, is obviously something that gets his rocks off, as we can hear in his bragging about it on tape.
The entire Trump campaign is run by people who have made a living vilifying the Clintons:
Steve Bannon, campaign CEO (is this campaign a corporation already?) - CEO of Breitbart News (‘nuff said)
Kellyanne Conway, campaign manager - Her husband was Paula Jones’ attorney
David Bossie, deputy campaign manager - Read the article
Clearly, terminal affliction with Clinton Derangement Syndrome is a job prerequisite for Trump.
It’s a question of importance, when W looses 22 MILLION emails and the court system does NADA then Hillary is drawn and quartered over a handful of emails you can see what REALLY matters. For Dems sexual mores became an issue when the GOP made it an issue (see Bush I’s affair). Wag your finger at someone else.
Trump’s message for most of this week was that women alleging sexual assault — regardless of how many years had passed, whether they filed charges, whether their claims were held up by the courts — deserve to be heard, rather than discredited or attacked. Trump made this clear by holding a news conference with three of Bill Clinton’s accusers, urging the media to tell their stories and speaking about them in his rallies.
Then, four women came forward alleging Trump groped or kissed them without their consent. And Trump’s stance changed. He attacked the women personally, cast doubt on their motives, called them liars and a part of a politically orchestrated attack. Let’s take a look at his flip-flop.
He has been “accused of” things is the operative concept, and millions of taxpayer dollars were given to people who were highly motivated expressly for the purpose of proving that those accusations were true. And they didn’t.
Today’s conservatives are tomorrow’s idiots. Today’s idiots? Tomorrow’s non entities. We erase what embarrasses us.
They will get thrown down the same historical black hole as the idiots who railed against emancipation, the 19th amendment, the Civil Rights Act, and same sex marriage. Buhbye.
