President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yah yahh yahhhh the mooslim neegro is out to kill all the Jeezus people. I been saying it for years. I herd it on the radio too. And some really hot broads said so on Fox Teevee, too! This one babe's skirt kept slipping farther and farther up her legs I just had to ...I think I saw ... COVFEFE!!!

 

This is not about lawyering. It's about journalistic standards.

 

Cool. Now the poor will be able to be upgraded on Delta.

 

No, I'm not. I am saying that Trump's wording is ambiguous enough to render it a fact in dispute. "Let him do it" may mean it was consensual. It may mean it was rape. We don't know. So you should not write he "admitted to sexual assault" as journalistic shorthand.

I really, really don't.

Maybe. I don't know enough to know that.

Unless it were, indeed, consensual.

Remember, everyone: I'm the problem at this site.

 

It's amazing how people keep falling for the same chain letter BS.

So how would you as a journalist describe what Trump copped to with Billy Bush?

 

I hate it when the thread goes into summer reruns.

 

Who the hell said that? I didn't. Come down off the cross, man.

 

"Trump made lewd comments, captured on video, to 'Entertainment Tonight's' Billy Bush regarding his interactions with women. Trump told Bush, “You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait." Trump continued: “And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. “Whatever you want,” says another voice on the video, apparently Bush’s. “Grab them by the pussy,” Trump responds. “You can do anything.”

 

I've been told I am. Not by you, I acknowledge. But I think we could do without the name-calling.

 

According to my mom, an ardent Trump supporter, that he wasn't telling the truth and that it's just fake news

 

Here's the thing about that, though: A lot of the people saying that Trump "admitted to sexual assault" would probably not say the same thing about defendants who signed actual confessions.
