Donald Trump straight up admits to sexual assault, and when some women come forward accusing him of the behaviour he himself admitted to, people still call them liars.

Anyone else feel like they're living in some horrific Twilight Zone dream this election? Fake hit pieces and conspiracies about Hillary, but ignoring credible accusations about admitted wrongdoings by Trump.

Ugh. I just had to hang up on a good friend who started yelling at me. We had agreed that talking politics was bad for friendships and then he kept throwing out basic RWM FW:FW:FW: talking points. As I shot them down, he started putting words in my mouth, defeating arguments I never made, and telling me how sorry I'd be under "Hillary's reign." Then he said he couldn't talk to me anymore if I was going to act this way. I straight-up told him "You are the one bringing this poo poo up. I am not. We can talk about anything else! Anything!"
Exactly like talking to a brick wall. While he was threatening not to talk to me anymore I hung up.

He wins, I guess. I'm pretty sure I lose, anyway.

It's even better than that because not even a week before Trump was touting Bill Clinton's accusers and his campaign was retweeting a tweet from Hillary about how all victims deserve to be heard. "YES, ALL VICTIMS DESERVE TO BE HEARD!" they tweeted.

Then Trump accusers came forward and it's all, "Those lying sluts should shut up."

This one I think bothers me the most of what I have seen so far. Like I can understand having valid reservations about her stances on TPP and such, but talking about how she changed her political stances from 15+ years ago is such a bunch of bullshit.

Go back 10+ years and I'm guessing we all held some pretty stupid beliefs.

Edit: Upon actually looking at that meme I realize I was wrong. I saw a different version posted on someones facebook that had different policy positions she has had over the past 30 years instead of "Scandals." I am trying to find it but so far haven't had any luck.

I don't really see the connection here. Trump claimed that he committed sexual assault and then women he sexually assaulted confirmed that Trump's claims about himself were true. He seemed pretty proud of it so he should be happy that dozens of women proved his boasting wasn't a lie.

Has Beyonce committed a crime I'm not aware of? She's a successful rich person who is talented and also works hard. Seems like a pretty good role model.

It seems to be working with at least some of the former Bernie supporters- accuse Hillary of something the Bernie voters violently oppose, then watch them run into the arms of Trump or Johnson who oppose everything they stand for. Or at least demoralize them to the point of not voting.

It's a messed up election cycle.

The picture on the right is a performance of Beyonce singing about having consensual sex with her own husband. Trump openly spoke about committing sexual assault against women. How is that the same thing? Oh, wait! They don't know what consent or social context is.

Not quite. They think that when the liberals told the banks that they weren't allowed to engage in redlining, that they were actually forcing the banks to give loans to people who couldn't afford them.

I just ran into this same crap this morning courtesy of my cousin, who I'm indescribably disappointed to see defending it:

My Cousin posted:

Hypocrisy has a funny way of rearing its ugly head during election time....!

A different cousin (my favorite one :)) married an English teacher, and they're the last bastion of sanity in my family at this point. Her husband saw the comment and had to jump in:

English Teacher posted:

This comparison isn't legitimate. The two people are very different.
The difference is control. Beyonce is in control of her body. Trump is taking control away by assaulting women.

To my eye, a pretty reasonable rebuttal. This was not taken well......

My Cousin posted:

Yes, the difference is control over ones body. I get that. However, my point is that the same action being spoken of by Trump that Michelle cannot understand being spoken of is actually being displayed by Beyoncé as a crude public act that she's getting paid to do - publicly grabbing her crotch and using extremely foul language against women and men in her lyrics. Trump said rude and crude words to another man when he thought it was a private conversation. Beyoncé's behavior is not that of a role model and neither is Trumps behavior. This is legitimate and to me, total hypocrisy by Michelle Obama being quoted that Beyoncé is a role model for her daughters. With all due respect Chris, I usually keep my opinion to myself and the very FEW times that I do comment, you're right there with yours. That comes across as internet trolling. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion and take on a situation. However, I'm not trying to shove mine down anyone's throat or constantly trying to prove everyone else's political views as being any less valuable than my own.

It completely derailed from there when I pointed out it's far more disrespectful and dismissive to call his response simply "trolling", dissolving into personal attacks and anti-intellectualist nonsense (I'm "pompous" for using words beyond a 6th grade reading level).

This election cycle is just bring all of the crazy in my family out into the open. I've been disowned for calling my father and stepmom racist (for posting racist poo poo....they don't deny this, I'm just the bad guy here for pointing it out and not "respecting that others have different opinions"). I guess they've always been this way, but were rightfully ashamed of it. Now they stand up and shout it and dare anyone to contradict them.

To be fair that woman in the video talking about the decolonization of science had some really poor examples. To hear her talk you'd think that

a) she believes magicians can shoot lighting bolts

b) Newton and the idea of gravity are inextricably bound and we have to throw out both.

I don't know it's not great whenever you have to say that someone you're defending didn't express themselves well because you run into problems with divining intentions etcetera. Newton was a notorious prick and the English were prolific colonizers and I'm sure tons of people would be willing to distance themselves from them, but you don't throw out F=ma and it sounds like that's what she's saying.

It is a little rich that she's talking about the sciences decolonizing themselves even if it means building up from the ground and she's saying that in English. Like, gee going back and decolonizing the humanities would mean learning a different language maybe, and wouldn't that be a huge pain and unrealistic.

Which party is it that hates gay marriage? Hillary that accepts large donations from the Saudis that hang people for simply being gay. Or Hillary who arms "moderate rebels" in Syria that have ended up razing towns to rubble and killing all Christians, gays and Muslims that don't agree with their extremist ideology. Hillary that wants to bring in hundreds of thousands of refugees, many of which bring with them ideology against gays from their homelands hardline Islamic ideology. Hillary who had the father of the Orlando gay nightclub shooter at her rally.

Which one ?

I won't bother piecing through all the other bullshit you spewed but when has Trump said anything against black people. If anything black people are most affected by hoardes of illegal migrants flooding the labor markets. Statistically speaking they are more likely to be in the low-end manual labor jobs than other demographics, jobs which see layoffs and wage compression as the labor pool increases from it's current state to more and more workers are available with the same finite amount of jobs that need to be done, wages go down and an already dire situation in the black community gets worse. He has endorsements from Mike Tyson, Ben Carson and many other black people. Ones that have fought adversity to attain success and realize that the victim complex perpetuated by the Democratic party is not helpful to the community.

The shitholes in Paterson, Newark, Camden all near you have been Democratic strongholds for years and do they see any improvement from violence and poverty? Newark spent more per student than any other school district in the nation yet sees no benefits from the higher spending. Chicago? Where is all this improvement from the $12 packs of cigarettes I buy here ($5 or $6 of which is pure tax), or the money they're raising from $500 tickets from red light cameras and all manner of other desperate measures to raise money to fix the deficit. Instead all the ills of the black community get blamed on discrimination, or white Republicans advocating for gun rights, anything but the community themselves. Then you have $60,000 per year colleges that fed us all this narrative of "white privledge". My girlfriend has even bought into this bullshit. Whenever she brings it up I tell her Asian Americans bring in about $60,000 per year in earnings on average, much higher than white Americans average earnings so there must be Asian privilege then. Or how about the $100,000+ that the average Jewish American earns, can we speak about Jewish privlege as well then. Didn't think so, I'd be chucked out of class for being anti-Semitic if I brought that up.
