I realize Billy Bob isn't running for president...he WAS president when his shit was going down. Donald Trump wasn't running for president when he said the shit he did. He didn't say anything worse than 100s of millions of other men have said. And the conversations most women have had with each other would probably make John Holmes blush.
As usual, I see no outrage from your crowd about another Huge lie Hillary was caught in Friday night. Poor Bernie...again!
Well, I certainly don't think that feeling entitled to physically force oneself on others compulsively and grabbing people's genitalia (male or female) without consent is something that's no big deal, just run of the mill shit that every man does or pretends to do then brags about. I'm not outraged about it, but I understand why many in the GOP who say they stand for family values and serve religious constituencies are outraged (or feigning such, in your opinion).
But, I have no reason to lie and pretend that it's something less than it is or that I too act or talk like a sexual predator. That would be idiotic bullshit on my part. It's fucked up to to act like that (or pretend you do), and it was fucked up to physically force oneself on others (or pretend to) in 2005 as well. I don't want a man who treats women that way or for some juvenile reason wants people to think he does in charge of our country. But, there are plenty of other reasons that I don't consider Trump qualified or fit to run the country.
Anyway, for those of you who are speaking on behalf of "most men", I must be very fortunate that in all my years on this planet, I've never to the best of my knowledge encountered one of the supposed hundreds of millions of men who pretend to be sexually predatory for bragging rights. I've also never met any of those "most women" who has conversations with her girlfriends which would make John Holmes blush. None of my sisters, nieces, or other females in my life has ever bragged about engaging in sexually predatory behavior -- not once.
As for Bernie and the Wiki-leaked transcripts, I always said Bernie was right in his statements about some of Clinton's double-sided policies and the DNC favoring her. That's been covered in the other Politics threads at length. You've posted that Bernie was a nut job, which is fine, and didn't participate much beyond that. There's nothing new of substance in the leaks that hasn't already been covered here, that I can see.
From what I read, Clinton told Wall Street bankers privately that she was open to free trade and open borders. She said that publicly back then too. Her platform is now more restrictive in those areas, in part thanks to Bernie. She also told the bankers that she would be open to cutting Social Security, which is not something I support. When she put forth her campaign platform however, she committed to instead raising the payroll cap to keep it solvent with no cuts, in line with Bernie's policy.
There's also a new comment in the leaks about having to carefully craft policy statements for best public consumption because that's politics. Are you outraged that no one in Duchess' crowd has brought that point up, or is there something else in those leaks you want to post and discuss?
