“Ivanka on line one…”

Obviously the §resident would endorse a child molester. Birds of a feather…oh, and there’s this.

“Let me just tell you, Roy Moore denies it. That’s all I can say. He denies it. And, by the way, he totally denies it,” he told reporters Tuesday. “He says it didn’t happen. And, you know, you have to listen to him also. You’re talking about, he said 40 years ago this did not happen.”

I’ve heard this “clip” twice, and I’m privately skeptical of Drumpf’'s reasoning ability.

Publicly, too. He endorsed Moore on the white House lawn.

No need to be reticent. :smiley: About 60 percent of the country’s been asking each other since Escalator Day, “What’s the matter with him?”

Trump should resign. Yesterday he lost all moral authority to speak for the US. Defending a child molester should be the last straw.

If I had a dollar for every time I have heard that uttered during this nightmare…

claims he continues to deny, just like Moore.

Denial. Along with projection, one of the primitive defence mechanisms that Trump frequently employs to protect his fragile ego.

Well - it seems that the ladies in Alabama find Moore less persuasive - especially those under the age of 45.

Also (prepare for a big non sequitor) - in his defense he gets aggressive in a way that reminded me of the Charlottesville defense when he got angry and basically said “You (everybody) Know its True!” - Except it wasn’t in his usual bluster/hoodwinking way - but in dropping a mask to show his world view in which of course every thinks like a racist misogynist.

New Republican bumper sticker:

BETTER A CHILD MOLESTER
THAN A DEMOCRAT

You own it, Donald.

I don’t care. This sht is happening ALL THE TIME. Donnie ‘tweets’ something egregious and then it is ‘privately floated’ that he thinks the opposite. It allows the dolt to constantly take both sides. He is a jackhole. He has not moral or ethical standing. He has absolutely no social skills. Just because you stand with other world leaders means nothing. He’s been coddled and enabled his whole life. I simply don’t care anymore. I want him out so the country can get on with it.

And he flat-out lies, too. Indeed, that’s his favorite “defense-mechanism.”

New strategy for courtroom defense attorneys called the 'Trump Defense".
Attorney - I asked my client if he did it. "…he totally denies it,”
Judge - Well, he must be innocent. Case dismissed.

Is anybody really shocked at all? They are cut from the same cloth. I imagine it will be like anything else. As soon as a Dem is accused of anything, it is a sign of utter guilt. If it is a conservative, they are a good person and being persecuted.

you’d qualify for the benefits of the upcoming GOP tax cut?

So, I guess when you put together what Ivanka said with what Trump says, “There’s a special place in hell for child molesters, but only after they serve as Republican Senators.”

Okay people. Once again, when you see a story in Access Journalism Clearinghouse based on “leaks” by two “White House advisers” and two people familiar with blah de blah thinking you need to stop reading the story and read behind the story.

This story is about what Twitler’s people want us to think he is thinking and/or an attempt by them to get out a message he wants out in the least damaging way possible.

This is them, in other words, trying to send out a subtle message of slut-shaming solidarity with all the serial harassers of the world in the hopes of forestalling a disastrous Twitter screed.

That said, I think they could help but reveal some real truth. I have no doubt Orange Tiberius’ attention is positively riveted by the question of whether local officials and base voters are believing women making allegations that Moore sexually assaulted them when they were minors and creeped on teens. I doubt that he has had attention to spare for anything else this week. And I likewise have no doubt that the word has gone out to the cesspit ninjas like Stone to throw up a protective cloud of dirt on Democrats, not to protect Moore, but to protect Trump.

Dear Politico,

What is the news value of “Self-Confessed Sexual Predator Doubts Victims of Sexual Assault”? Don’t publish this gutter muck.

Best,
Not Amused
