What I really want, is a video of Trump walking through the Medal of Honor wall at the people who were awarded it posthumously, read a story, then at the end go, "wait, they guy died? Why did we give him a medal then? He was a weak pussy."

I think that would be the nail in the coffin.

Okay I may have just called Navarro awesome but no this is completely wrong. Conservatism is a garbage ideology for garbage people. You don't get to disagree with me politically when it comes to civil rights or the existence of systemic racism.

But sometimes garbage people do good things and it's okay to praise them for it.

RIP Mike Pence's political hopes & dreams

Let me emphasize again - Mike Pence never had any hopes and dreams. He was a ruined politician, horribly disliked in his own state. He was never getting close the whitehouse except on someone else's coattails, and noone but Trump would ever take him as a running mate.

This is from dozens of pages/scandals ago, but I have a good illustration of this mindset for anyone having trouble conceiving of how people could fail to see this kind of consent violation as a problem.

This is "The Kiss," one of the most iconic photos from WWII Americana and dorm room poster stores everywhere. A sailor is so overwhelmed with joy on VJ-Day he grabbed the first pretty nurse he saw and pulled her in for a kiss. Romantic! Look how she's swooning in his embrace. Maybe they got married.



Only there's something odd about the cant of her body language, isn't there? And the way she's clutching the fabric of her skirt. Maybe this other photo from the series will shed more light:



Ah, she's caressing his face! Wait, no, that's a fist. Everybody knows this soldier grabbed a complete stranger and shoved his tongue down her throat, but over seventy years nobody thought about that as a violation of consent. Nobody noticed that her body is wracked with tension. Nobody noticed that she's pushing him away. Because it's so romantic.

That's Greta Friedman being assaulted. She died last month, and while she was never secretive about the circumstances of that kiss, if you showed that photo to any random person on the street odds are they'll tell you she enjoyed it. In her own words:


Women are things. If you feel like celebrating, grab a pretty thing and have your fun.

I'm sorry, we're not allowed to be outraged about this, because Bill Clinton was bad, so we can't condemn other things.

I should say that with someone like Navarro, I have major disagreements, and I think the outcomes of some of her beliefs would be bad, but I believe she thinks more or less rationally (she's not crazy) and sees herself as bound by generally accepted social restraints and -- if she held office -- the limits of constitutional authority. Navarro, I would think, would disagree with the left on how to address racism, but that's a mere difference of opinion.

The difference with Trump is that him, and a big bulk of his supporters, are actively promising to harm people, and they do not feel themselves bound by those same limits. He's an order-of-magnitude different problem and poses an actual threat to our society in a way that Navarro does not.

The entire party was building up Pence to be the true conservative savior today, the good soldier who took one for the team and acted as the real Republican on the ticket. He could have ditched Trump and immediately be seen as the party's favorite for 2020. Instead he's staying on the sinking ship to die with its captain.

That's horseshit. He looks good by comparison now, but he'd wither and die on his own, he will now and he would in 2020. Everyone who even thinks about it for a minute knows it.

We're going to see a lawsuit or two over this election if the ballots aren't representative of who the actual candidate is, right? Just going with the scenario that the RNC decides to give Trump the boot at the top of the ticket, it doesn't necessarily matter who replaces him because the ballots are "locked down" (whatever that means, i.e. - the ballots have already been printed), right?

In a 2002 episode of Howard Stern, Trump discussed the celebrity boxing match of Paula Jones, who in the 1990s accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment.

"It was interesting. That Paula Jones fight, she was not very talented. That was pretty pathetic," Trump said.

"It's funny because Paula Jones would get hit, she'd run," Robin Quivers said.

"She would run, it's too bad she didn't run like that from Bill (Clinton)," Trump replied.
