We'll certainly HEF never paid for it in his life, nor did Thump (cheapskate).

Not so! Our beloved President was willing to pay the "big-bucks" for famous pussy, per this report from an aging porn star:

Jessica Drake, 42, a porn star and sex educator, said in a statement released with a picture of her with Trump that during a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe “10 years ago”, the Republican presidential nominee “grabbed” her and two other unnamed women tightly and kissed them on the lips “without asking permission”.

He then offered Drake $10,000 and the use of his private plane, she said, if she would agree to come back to his room and accompany him to a party.

That of course, was after Trump was married to his current porn-star wife.

What a role model, for the Republicans to worship!

I stand corrected Trump paying for it, sort of, Fritz

It would not surprise me that if money did change hands it came out of the foundation

The kissing incident sounds creepy. That said...
And I'm amazed by all of the folks here who say she was a Playboy model, or a Victoria's Secret model, so what does she expect. That's pretty F'd up thinking.
Victoria's Secret is about appealing to women who want to be sex objects, like a man posing for "Muscle and Fitness." Playboy is about being a sex object, like a man being a Chippendales dancer. It's not prostitution, but it's sketchy territory, so sketchy behavior is hardly surprising.

Are you kidding?? So you'd be okay with behaving like that?

Interesting conjecture. If he has this impulse problem, then I would expect that he would have done this on multiple occasions, even often.

What proof have you of that?

You're saying he didn't do it because aside from a good ass grab he's not accused of more incidents?

No and no, but I wouldn't be surprised. If I presented myself as a sex object for money (I'm not, believe me), I would expect, avoid, and dismiss some of that behavior.

Democrats support countries and people that want to live by Sharia Law, even in this country, culture that treats women even worse than worms.

who are these Democrats who support people who want to live by Sharia law?

particularly in the United States?

name those Democrats along with your credible sources, how many of these Sharia law loving Dems are there anyway?

A big shot Democrat in the Cali legislature, Raul Bocanegra, today.

I’m feeling, like, inadequate for not having groped.

I'm not sure why people are surprised that these allegations are coming out in numbers. I'm actually surprised that it surprises people that these men would have behaved in these ways. Anyone who was on Facebook a few weeks ago when a vast percentage of women added something in the #metoo campaign surely could not have missed understanding that MOST WOMEN have been harassed and assaulted at some point(s) in their lives.

Really - is it surprising to you guys that these men behaved that way? Is there a man on this forum who HASN'T heard of a female highschool classmate of theirs getting gang-banged at a party BITD? HASN'T seen a buddy being overly aggressive to some woman at a bar or club, who they could tell had provided signals she was not interested in his advances and watch him ignore and continue, or being to verbally abuse the woman? HASN'T known at least one guy who has had his wife or girlfriend take out a restraining order against him?

Because it doesn't surprise me in the least.

Take a number!

U.S. Representative John Conyers on Tuesday acknowledged that there had been a harassment allegation against him but said he denied it and resolved the matter with a payment but no admission of guilt.
Conyers issued a statement after a BuzzFeed News report cited allegations from former staffers that he made sexual advances to female staff.
The Democratic congressman did not give details of any allegation but said he would fully cooperate in any House investigation.

I always knew Charlie Rose was a weirdo.

"I always felt that I pursued shared feelings though I now realize that I was mistaken."

CBS had moved quickly Monday to suspend Rose, 75, after the Washington Post reported that day that eight women said they were subjected to inappropriate behavior while working with him. The story said Rose made unwanted sexual advances, appeared nude in their presence or groped them.

Schist woman. You've been hanging with a bad crowd. I definately have no memory of classmates getting gangbanged & with some thinking on the subject I have no memory of the other events you ask about. I do remember kids in my college Frat bragging about scoring with a one-time date, but not about forcing them. Lots of break-ups by me & other friends, including my very-satisfying drunk shouting-match in a sports bar with a soon to be ex-girlfriend, but no restraining orders.

I stated on page 1 that Franken should resign.

I still think that.

I welcome, in the interim, an ethics investigation by the senate. But why isn’t the senate also investigating the president? He bragged about grabbing women’s genitals and watching half naked teenagers.

It's mostly about the tax cut because the 1% ers truly care about middle class Americans...

Resign why Trump remains in office calling his victims of sexual assault liars? Huh?

Yep. Democrats would be wise to keep their side of the street clean.

The Republicans want to send a Pedophile to the Senate to cut Trump's and their Donor's taxes for them.

The Repubs are doing everything they can to get him out of the race so they can run a write-in candidate without splitting the vote. He's too far right, a renegade who will be a thorn in McConnell's side. In fact they've already said they'll find a way to expel him if he gets elected.

This ignores one thing. It will be republicans who vote for him. Just as it was republicans who voted for Donald Trump.

then why not take the "I love the poorly educated" states out of the equation

like, um

Alabama, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Ohio, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, etc etc etc etc

not even a good try at False Equivalence
