Sure, and joking about sexual assault isn't something the media should bring up about a presidential candidate...

So he falsely boasts about sexually assaulting women. That still isn't good.

There's just something about the tone, the context, that makes it something other than boasting about sexual assault. The term assault doesn't fit it. Tic tacs so he can kiss her? If he said something like
"want to bet I can get her in bed this afternoon? or that sort of thing it would fit the accusation better. There isn't enough information there to come to that conclusion.

He bragged about grabbing a woman's pussy without any consent. How the living hell, as a christian or a human being, can you defend that?
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Grabbing a woman and kissing her without even waiting to give her a chance to refuse is assault in my book.
(And how on earth do you read "want to bet I can get her in bed this afternoon?" as assault ? That IS just words)

Good point.

BOOM! POTUS Trump Uses Gateway Pundit’s Story to SLAM Chuckie Schumer
Jim Hoft makes up more fake news. FYI Schumer met Putin in 2003, when Schumer was a senator from New York. The occasion was an opening of a bunch of Russian-owned gas stations in New York. The interaction was obviously in public with lots of witnesses and press and other participants. The donuts were Krispy Kreme, but the international conspiracy is suppressing what flavors they chose.
Yeah, that's exactly equivalent to or worse than multiple private meetings.

A Christian couldn't talk like that, and I didn't vote for a Christian in Trump, I voted for his political policies. His mouth can be a problem but until there's some kind of evidence of actual sexual assault it's just words and I object far more to the Leftist witch hunt than I do to his verbal offenses.
Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

WARNING: This is information I've heard from various sources including Laura Ingraham and Infowars. It's not in writing.
The point is that lots of American politicians have had contact with Russia over the last few years or decade and nobody made anything of it. Kerry spent quite a bit of time with Putin and another Russian representative in 2015 with the same objective of easing relations with Russia that Trump has, without anybody objecting. Hillary met with Putin privately and secretly twice as Secty of State. Sessions simply ran into a Russian ambassador at a gathering where he ran into lots of ambassadors from lots of countries, all as part of his senatorial obligations and nothing to do with the Trump campaign. This is all just part of the Leftist witch hunt, depending on people being ignorant of these things, either ignorant or complicit with the witch hunt.

If the meetings were the reason for the suspicion you might have a point. But they aren't. The fact that both Flynn and Sessions didn't admit to their contacts with the Russians when they should have is more important. And even that is less important than the evidence of Russian attempts to influence the election and the shift towards a more pro-Russian stance.
There are a lot of things suggesting a relationship with the Russians that may have gone beyond what is proper. And the cover-up attempts only make it look more plausible.

The fact that both Flynn and Sessions didn't admit to their contacts with the Russians when they should have is more important. They had no reason to "admit" to contacts that were completely unrelated to the questions asked them, as Sessions clearly explains in his interview with Tucker Carlson. He answered the questions honestly as he understood them. He and Flynn acted in no way differently than other US representatives in frequent contacts with ambassadors from Russia and elsewhere, and none of it ever had anything to do with Trump's campaign. Why would they even THINK of mentioning something so irrelevant? They wouldn't. Only a weasel Leftist would think of it and hang it on them. Flynn was railroaded. Trump should have defended him.
And even that is less important than the evidence of Russian attempts to influence the election and the shift towards a more pro-Russian stance. What evidence? There isn't any evidence. It's all a figment of the Leftist imagination in the service of the witch hunt. Here's a recent discussion of this fake news from Frontpage:
Attorney General Jeff Sessions officially recused himself yesterday from the nonsensical, possibly even nonexistent, federal probe into claims of Russian interference in the election — claims that for all we know were invented by President Trump’s enemies in the intelligence community and the Democratic Party. Despite the oceans of mass media hysteria, there is still no publicly available trustworthy evidence that the Trump campaign somehow colluded with the Russian government last year. Sources in newspaper articles are never identified. There is not a scintilla of proof of improper conduct. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. All we have is the alleged say-so of faceless CIA spooks whose motives are questionable, to put it charitably. ...It needs to be said that even the theory that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been trying to undermine the public’s faith in American democracy is suspect. The KGB veteran delights in being seen as a puppet master who throws his weight around in other countries. As a few voices in the wilderness have suggested, if Russia is trying to manipulate the American political process, it is in an attempt to shore up Putin’s position at home. In other words, it is a propaganda campaign aimed at Russians in Russia, and the Left is only too happy to help out in order to hurt Trump. Where's the evidence?
There are a lot of things suggesting a relationship with the Russians that may have gone beyond what is proper. Such as? Which fake news invention has most captured your attention about this?
And the cover-up attempts only make it look more plausible Imaginary cover-up attempts for an imaginary offense.
And even that is less important than the evidence of Russian attempts to influence the election and the shift towards a more pro-Russian stance. What's "pro-Russian" about wanting to have good relations with Russia, same thing Kerry was seeking in his visit in 2015? Why wasn't that "pro-Russian?"

quote: Flynn was sacked for lying to Pence on the matter. Are you saying that the Trump administration lied about that ? And I have seen the transcript of the question. There is no reasonable doubt that Session's answer was misleading.
quote: Obviously the fact of the communications was relevant. If they had just come clean at the start Sessions would probably not be in trouble. I understand that Flynn may be because of the content of the telephone calls
quote: Leaks of material taken from the DNC by groups which appear to be State-sponsored Russian hackers seem like enough evidence for suspicion.
quote: Oh there are good reasons to think that there is a cover-up. And if the offence were imaginary that seems odd. Funny how people with the ability to manufacture a conspiracy from some emails which are at worst a little odd won't see anything untoward here.
quote: Yawn. It is quite clear that the Trump regime is more friendly toward Russia than the previous administration and with the amount of Russian sabre rattling, the events in the Ukraine and the possibility of interference in the presidential election that is of concern.

Faith writes:
quote: Because it wasn't just "a private remark." After Trump and Bush talk about sexual harassment of women, they then proceed to sexually harass Arianne Zucker. Did you forget that part? They harass her into touching them. And in case you forgot, Trump was talking about his sexual harassment of Nancy O'Dell:
I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn't get there, and she was married. So he doesn't care about marriage vows (which we know because he has cheated on all of his wives), deliberately and aggressively pursues a married woman, and complains when he gets rebuffed. That you think this is merely "a private remark" shows just how much of a monster you are, Faith.Rrhain Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time. Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can use mine.
