Didn't see posted the statement from O'Dell

Nancy O'Dell posted:

"Politics aside, I’m saddened that these comments still exist in our society at all. When I heard the comments yesterday, it was disappointing to hear such objectification of women. The conversation needs to change because no female, no person, should be the subject of such crass comments, whether or not cameras are rolling. Everyone deserves respect no matter the setting or gender. As a woman who has worked very hard to establish her career, and as a mom, I feel I must speak out with the hope that as a society we will always strive to be better."

As always they're playing games, if you look at all the Trump defenders, they're treating it like the issue is coarse language and not that he bragged about attempting adultery and sexual assault so they can tie everything to their "PC" narrative. A common thread I'm seeing on twitter is that he was never convicted of a crime or received "formal charges" so that part of it doesn't matter. Trump-twitter is in total denial, and convinced that it's "no big deal". It's beautiful to watch, ecstatic schadenfreude.

Oh, yeah. I see a lot of that elsewhere (I'm not going to say where because I'm embarrassed to admit that I've spent any amount of time there). But the same doesn't apply to Bill and Hillary. Lots of accusations, but, as we know, no charges or convictions for them. Still, the Trump bots will howl about all the people they've raped and killed and...well, something they don't understand about e-mail, and whatnot.

This loving election. I have friends who are defending Trump because they don't have daughters, and these friends are arguing with their friends who have daughters but not sons. There's a disgusting amount of "boys will be boys" and "women can lie, like Hillary".

This election is going to create a lot of hate for people as their true colors come out.

Sorry, thread moves fast but I wanna tell you you have bad friends. Like... is it totally impossible for these guys to imagine being physically compromised/threatened/abused? Instead it's guys basically arguing "well I have a car and I'd be real mad if somebody scratched my nice car." You shouldn't have to have a woman you can claim property to to understand someone abusing their power to put people into uncomfortable and gross situations is bad. I understand this is super common for guys, I'm just venting because I hate hearing "well as a husband and father" or "well I have a wife/daughter/sisters" at the beginning of some dipshit's statement.


As far as predictions on the next stuff to drop, I don't think it's Trump saying the n-word. The people still voting for him won't give a poo poo and think everyone talks like that behind closed doors already. I think it'll be video of him groping a woman or similar. OR OR OR my dream of dreams would be a recording of him telling someone to get an abortion. I actually think that's probably the worst thing he could be caught saying for the people still planning on voting for him.

It might hold media attention for a few days, but it'd kill with his base and have limited impact elsewhere unless he took to out and out wearing a white hood. Everyone already knows he's a massive racist and the media really hates acknowledging racism, so it'd have to be something enormous to keep from being denied.

It's not going to be the "n-word". It's either going to be something even more rapey, or him saying something anti-semetic. I lean towards the latter because not only does it seem like him, it also would blow apart yet another group the GOP wants to have in the coalition and would freak out offending.

It's one thing to say sexist bullshit, the GOP establishment considers it quite another to admit to sexually assaulting other peoples' spouses. And I suspect the rest of us are just really, really enjoying fanning the flames.

The only reason a tape would matter is that the bulk of the Republican party white folks have convinced themselves that the "N-Word" is the sole arbiter of racism.

I only hire white men, lock my doors when I see a panhandler, don't go downtown because all of the black-on-black gun violence and I don't get what the big deal is about cops killing these thugs-because they're about to commit a crime anyway! Racist? How dare you, I have black friends... well, coworkers and that one guy at church.... but I've never said the N-Word in my life! Well, at least not sober.

They are smartly and cleverly deducing it from the fact that Donald Trump is an idiot retard who's had a camera+mic pointed at him on the Apprentice for 10+ years - with the knowledge that he could say whatever he wanted and it would be edited out - and also is a narcissist sociopath.

If this happens it will not be good for Clinton because it will feed into the narrative of Crooked Hillary Abusing Her Power. Especially since the GOP wanted so badly to lock her up re: Benghazi and emails. It stokes the perception that the losing candidate goes to jail.

As someone just pointed out to me - he's losing anyway. Maybe they see that he's a long-shot, saw his awful performance in the last debate, figured things weren't going to be changing any time soon & were just waiting for an opportunity to start turning on him.

I could equally see it being Trump going off on some rant about getting turned down by a married woman because of all that family values bullshit and her dumb loving Christian skypal beliefs. Christianity is a crock of poo poo for suckering in dweebs and Jesus was a loser who got killed.

I can see him giving some rant like that and it might actually kill remaining enthusiasm for him among evangelicals.

Trying to poach someone's wife is bad for sure. And so is joking about sexual assault.

But he's said so many other things that were as bad or worse. I get that the Right is willing to give all sorts of poo poo a pass, but what separates this one?

e: I'm willing to accept that it's his already-low poll numbers rather than the content of the recording itself. GOP sucks poo poo.

I don't get how anybody can think it's going to be anything ELSE than trump ogling+groping a young woman on an early season of The Apprentice, her recoiling or reacting negatively, and him laughing at her. Also probably footage of him "going in for a kiss" with the tic tacs and everything. There is not a way in this universe where this footage does not exist. Donald Trump has been on that show for fourteen years. FOURTEEN YEARS. The dude can't go one day without saying something blatantly retarded in full public. IMagine how many years of vile poo poo he's been caught doing on tape, with the assumption that it would all get edited out anyway.

People don't seem to realize what the Republicans rely on.

Silent, institutionalized racism isn't the same thing as blatant racism. It's really easy to say "Oh, I just don't like the blacks on welfare." "Oh, it was dark and he had a hoodie". "Oh that's a bad neighborhood, that's why that happened.". Yes, everything I just said is racism, but it's silent. It's not loud, and it's something you can say without feeling bad/racist. You "aren't"! You've got "good" black friends, you just don't like the "thug" minorities.

Thing is, these people are racist, but they aren't card carrying KKK members. They pride themselves on being modern and forward thinking. If you work hard, your skin color doesn't matter! If you live in my neighborhood/are a good neighbor, your skin color doesn't matter! Etc etc. They say these things because of institutional racism/how they were raised more then an actual distaste or dislike of minorities.

Not a single one of these people would ever say the word friend of the family. They'd be horrified if they heard it, and would turn on anyone who said it as being a racist. They'd disassociate with that person as quickly as possible.

If someone finds a video of Trump saying friend of the family, we take the House.
