JFC just look at him. Who the hell would want to fuck him just because they fancied him? Surely that woman doesn't exist? Except maybe that nutjob Laura Loomer.

Money and power make people do things others find odd or repulsive. Some women, and men, are drawn to the money and power enough to overcome whatever else was an obstacle.

@CoatRack rape isn't funny in any context.

Opposing sexual violence doesn't make puritanical. It makes you a decent human being.

Anything CAN be joked about and anything CAN be funny.

As you are well aware, nobody here has come out in favour of sexual violence. A joke is a joke, and a joke is not the act of doing whatever the joke is about. The puritan poster is opposing jokes, which is puritanical.

Use your head, most of the dark or edgy humour you might hear is funny precisely BECAUSE its subject is wrong. Otherwise it would be a statement of fact and not a joke.

I just read that.

Wow hes said a long list of crap.

I remember that he said that Heidi klum was no longer a 10. That's in the list.

I see he also said that Angelina Jolie was not beautiful.

He must be some oil painting himself yo comment on beautiful women's looks like that!

He wasn't even joking though. A joke would surely have something funny about it.

He said "i dont even wait. when you're a star you can do whatever you want to a woman, I just grab them by the pussy"

Sure he could’ve done something wrong. But did he? I don’t know. None of us truly know. Not when there is much at stake and people were trying to discredit his run for president, during and then post. There is enough room for doubt.

Women don’t go for Obama as he clearly keeps on the down low anything he gets up to. Trump is a proud womaniser. Brings trouble if you’re public.

Also Obama is very much a part of the political establishment and so is protected. Even if women did make accusations about him, we would likely never hear of it.

Sandygoldenbeaches · 06/11/2024 21:02

I mean trump is vile, but a lot of male leaders are. It's nothing new.

A lot of then are power hungry, corrupt bad people. And they don't want to give up the power.

There will be a vote in the UK Parliament on assisted dying in late November. The bill will have very strict parameters and will be restricted to mentally competent terminally ill adults who have six months or less to live.

I have absolutely no idea why you are talking about wanting to mutilate/sterilise autistic children.

I have no idea whether you are based in the UK or the US. I'm in the UK and thankfully we have settled abortion rights here.

The 2004 Gender recognition act started with 5000 mostly men, then the requests for law changes came, hate crimes, conversion therapy ban, self ID.

Abortion laws didn't remain as they began with it being early and rare.

In Canada MAID (drowning whilst sedated) is now part of an organ harvesting money making scheme, where paralympic medalists get offered to be sent by state employees when they request wheelchair ramps.

@CoatRack that's not what puritanical means.
Nobody is opposing or banning jokes. We're saying jokes relating to sexual assault are not appropriate.

Your quote is wrong, but it doesn't matter; you're still making my point for me.

"Grab em by the pussy" is so ridiculous on its face that it is blatantly a joke.

I abbreviated the quote.

He said more than that I know.

But he said all the things that I wrote there.

My quote is not wrong. He said the things I wrote. I just left out some of the longer things.

Ok here is what he said about grab em by the pussy in the longer version

------
Trump: Yeah, that’s her. With the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. 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.
And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.
Bush: Whatever you want.
Trump: Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.

I just skimmed it. Majority of that was in retaliation to them saying horrible things about him. He doesn't just insult people for no reason. The view for example with Whoopi and Sunny, the women on that show are vile about him. Maxine walters, I remember a clip where she encouraged her supporters to harass trump suppprters whenever they see them.

Well I disagree with you that it's blatantly a joke as numerous women have said that trump has grabbed them by the fussy, without their consent. They said he just stuck his hand up their skirts. And they didn't want it to happen

Its a big coincidence.

But I won't go back and forth on it with you anymore. We ve both said our opinions. Let's leave it.

izimbra · 06/11/2024 23:46

FWIW - there are loads of people who love Putin, and defend him against accusations of murder and theft. Ditto every other shit, populist fascistic leader of the past 80 years who's abused women, stolen and lied.

Trump is just part of that fine tradition, and @CoatRack is part of the fine tradition of people who will defend the obviously indefensible because they support a particular political ideology.

Many people claim various things. He’s never been found criminally liable and it was locker room talk. I’ve heard worse in the locker rooms - especially in NYC. A lot of woman do, no doubt, consent as he was one of the most powerful men in NYC, he was the prize. So much so he screwed around even after Melania landed him. And I wonder how many of those women ‘accusing him’ were after a payout from a previously consensual activity?

Everything you’ve written here shows that you are part of the problem. Using “Locker room talk” to defend sexist behaviour is pretty dated and disgusting. If those are the locker rooms you hang out in, sounds like your gym caters to jerks.

Also, you seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the basics of consent. I’m not sure if it’s ignorance or you don’t really care, but maybe sit this one out.

Canadian here.

Regarding your last paragraph, no. Just no. First of all, the part about Paralympic medallists reads like some AI hallucination. Canada has a small enough population that trust me, if our paralylympians were being offed by the government, word would have gotten around.

And organ harvesting from terminally ill people? For money? Who would pay for an organ from someone full of cancer?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 07/11/2024 01:18

Maybe so, but it's true.

A paraplegic former member of the Canadian military shocked MPs on Thursday by testifying that the Department of Veterans Affairs offered her, in writing, the opportunity for a medically assisted death — and even offered to provide the equipment.
Retired corporal Christine Gauthier, who competed for Canada at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympics and the Invictus Games that same year, spoke before the House of Commons veterans committee and agreed to provide a copy of the letter.
"With respect to me, I have a letter in my file, because I had to face that as well," said Gauthier, referring to the debate about veterans being offered the option of medical assistance in dying (MAID).
"I have a letter saying that if you're so desperate, madam, we can offer you MAID, medical assistance in dying," said Gauthier who first injured her back in a training accident in 1989.
Testifying in French, she said she has been fighting for a home wheelchair ramp for five years and expressed her concerns about the assisted dying offer in a recent letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

@izimbra , oh dear it does seem democracy is difficult for some to take if it doesn’t go their way. Some people are getting very rattled today. 😂

How nice of you to rejoice in misery and terror. Or, you know, not at all nice.

Not just unreasonable. Terrible.
