I keep trying to formulate a joke contrasting the level of media interest in a credible allegation that the president raped someone with a credible allegation that a former Secretary violated State Department email handling guidelines but I have nothing.— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) June 22, 2019
So was the latest credible rape accusation against the President discussed on any of the Sunday shows or are we continuing to pretend that didn't happen?— Schooley (@Rschooley) June 23, 2019
The Trump campaign will still have the absolute gall to jump on any old statement by their opponent that's open to a negative interpretation as a fatal character flaw. And the press will then fall in line. How much more coverage did Warren's DNA test get than the rape accusation?— Schooley (@Rschooley) June 23, 2019
Imagine believing, "Two dozen different women decided to accuse him of the thing he's on tape bragging he can do with impunity, but they're all liars because he'd never do anything like that thing he bragged he could do."— Paul Waldman (@paulwaldman1) June 22, 2019
That's what being a Republican now requires.
One more:
The allegations of sexual assault and misconduct against the president are a classic case of he said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said-she said— Kevin M.

Trump is protected by money and hundreds of minions who will throw themselves in front of any firing squad he faces. We have to know by now that allegations against him are like a blast of water from a firehose toward a blazing fire: they evaporate before they hit their target.
ReplyDeleteHe has a hundred different investigations from fifty sources going on. They will either be dismissed or simply get buried before coming to fruition. This soulless monster will finish his term and shuffle off to write a book and host a new TV show and remain a celebrity for the rest of his pathetic life. My deepest hope is that he doesn't get elected again, but my greatest fear is that he will.
donnah -- he needs the oxygen that attention brings. The 24/7 media helped create him and now is just along for the ride, as long as he brings eyeballs and clicks. This is a shallow circus of egos prancing around while our country's values and moral perspectives go down the drain.
