Weren't there allegations that trump raped at least one 13 year old?

He was a frequent passenger on a private jet known as the Lolita Express.

I don't think Trump is trying for a Speedrun as much as he's trying to break the high score for impeachable offenses.

Why on earth do these dopes insist on sending somebody out to the media with a message and then inevitably contradicting them, sometimes within the day or the hour?

Do they not know that having no consistency in their message means that it's very difficult to trust anything they say? Are they just that stupid or is it something else?

The more answers to a question you put out there, the more you muddle the message and confuse the "average American," thereby contributing to them inevitably not giving a gently caress anymore.

It's to keep the left distracted and confused in order to paralyze them. Like a weasel hunting a rabbit.

Good thing that isn't working.

The left is in a difficult place but distracted? Not due to anything the Republicans are doing.

Google Jeffrey Epstein. He's the scumbag hedge fund billionaire that owned the Lolita Express and his own pedo island. The piece of poo poo got away with only doing a scant few months behind bars for trafficking underage girls. Trump, Bill Clinton and famous attorney Alan Dershowitz have all ridden on the Lolita Express.

Based on the Russian thread I feel that many Goons would rather Dems lose in 2020 than win because the Russian interference helped bring him down.

Which, funnily enough, is the exact same accusation they level at "Third Way"/"bad Dems" (i.e. any Democrat who is either to the right of Our Dear Bernie, or commits the unforgivable sin of being (((coastal elitists))) by living in California/New York); just with "the Russian interference helped bring him down" ctrl+f replaced with "they went left".

More RightWing.txt than Trump, the NRA has released a massive cop out over the shooting of Philandro Castille

http://reason.com/blog/2017/07/10/nra-breaks-silence-on-philando-castile-s


quote:

Even Yanez's lawyers agreed that the shooting was tragic and avoidable (a position that seems at odds with his completely implausible claim that Castile really was drawing his gun). The dispute concerned who could and should have avoided the shooting: Should Yanez have been calmer and more careful, or was the onus on Castile to put the officer at ease after announcing that he was carrying a gun? Loesch splits the difference by saying "there were a lot of things that I wish would have been done differently."
