Ignoring the fact that Trump did everything possible to push up the oil price including phoning Putin and the alleged Saudi murderer and then afterwards did several Tweet victory laps on his alleged success.

Of course, this was not a proper clinical study nor peer-reviewed but nevertheless as an anecdotal study, it is not encouraging.

Biden's creepiness is on film, Trump's boasting is on tape. These two are facts.

Everything else, unless there's a conviction or comparabliy solid evidence, is unfounded.

What was your question again?

"sexual assault" is your term (and possibly other's), not mine. I called it creepy.

Trump's two hugs shown before don't look like anything out of the ordinary. The girls obviously didn't like it but it's nothing new that this is disregarded (same for boys for that matter). It's like kids being forced to let themselves be kissed by the rich aunt they hate when she comes to visit because the parents won't forfeit the hope for a small inheritance.

Contrary to Trump, Biden didn't approach them visibly, they couldn't at least brace themselves. No, he mostly came from behind and unseen by the girls/women. He was literally creeping up on them. That's creepy in all meanings of the word and makes him a creep.
There's no strength in numbers here, either the respective allegation is true or not. In contrast you're saying there's no smoke without fire, does that mean it's enough to raise x-number of allegations? Throw as much dirt as you can, sooner or later some will stick? To hell with due process? Nonetheless (IIRC according to olygirl) the Republicans are way better with their dirty smear campaigns?

Let me repeat myself:
Neither party has reason to complain, both are despicable. Same for the two candidates, it's once again a matter of "which is less bad" instead of "which is better". The advantage with Trump however is that he can't be re-elected.

Besides, and I'm aware that that's an entirely different topic:
What I actually hear you say is that the allegations must be at least partially true for no other reason than they're raised by women against a man, to hell with due process. Would you react the same if multiple men accused a woman of a sex crime? Or if it's one-on-one like in this case where a woman raped a man? I don't need an answer, that would derail the thread too much, it's enough if you (people) think about it.

Bush too?

It looks like they all grew up and were "formed" in the Mad Men world.


Their generations still kiss women's hands back home. Don't rub shoulders, thanks goodness for that. Some women still find the gesture creepy. I find it unnecessary albeit flattering and always took me by surprise.
I meant pre-corona times. Poor older people are isolated in their homes now.

You didn't hear me quite right. The allegations against Trump have wound up in court on numerous occasions. Rather than go to trial, Trump's attorneys wisely advised him to settle out of court. Same as with his phony university. If you genuinely did nothing wrong and have nothing to hide, and have the deeper pockets, why settle? If you're genuinely a nice guy, why so many allegations across so many years? Seems fishy at the very least. Biden, AFAIK, has never been taken to court on sexual assault allegations.

And yes to the second part. Doesn't matter who does it, if there are widespread accusations they should be investigated.

So Trump was not only late for the social distancing party but has been promoting a "snake oil" cure that kills people.

That's the point, there's been no conviction -- on either side. Just a lot more smoke on Trump's side than on Biden's, and where there's smoke...

..there is visibility and media presence. Just as Trump likes it.

This is no (or more accurately, not only a) political smear campaign against Trump. Allegations against him of sexual assault and sexual misbehaviour go back at least to 1989 (the date of the allegations being made, I mean, not even when the offences allegedly occurred). He's just an asshole who has done whatever he pleases for decades, without regard to law or morality, because he's rich enough to "make it all go away"... so far.

Biden, on the other hand, has had no allegations of sexual assault made against him until his run for President started. How odd.

???? I hope you're right!

I guess you mean that after the coming election, Trump (if he were to win) couldn't be elected to a third term. But IIRC, Biden has already stated that he would serve only one term. He would be 82 at the end of his first term and 86 at the end of a second. It's extremely unlikely that Biden would run again at the age of 82. Nobody expects that of him, least of all Joe Biden.

Seems Iran has invented flying boats!
Whoever posted Trump will never start a war?

I wonder if the Pentagon will obey this illegal order?

So he admits that it's also a bucket list candidacy. He looks like a tired old man that should play scrabble and do the garden. Bernie at least still had energy.

Agreed. But he's still not Trump.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like this election is going to be more about Trump vs whoever Biden picks for VP, not Trump vs Biden.

It's not just you; I mentioned that a while ago. And Trump's VP (Pence -- assuming Trump keeps him as his wingman) also comes into consideration...

BOOM! I love this guy. I would vote for him no matter what side he was on, and many independent moderates agree. People may think that the Republican party is morphing into Trumps image. It is not. THIS guy, Mr. Crenshaw, is already a political rockstar. He will be the nominee in 2024. He would beat Trump even now if he wanted too. He's a good facts spitter without ever being insulting, degrading, shows respect but can kill you in an argument or an actual fight. Alpha MFing Male.
Yes I have a man crush on him.

Dan Crenshaw frustrating the hell out of Bill Maher.

Are you harbouring the (de)illusion that facts have anything to do with wining the Presidency? Surely the last 4 years have put that naive idea to bed?!

I do not have a crush on him. I don't think he's an alpha either, he's better than that. He would get voted in today, tbh.

The interviewer, however..Wow.

No, people still care about facts, at least I do. All I was trying to point out is how he destroys some of this media hipocracy and TDS. If he disagrees with Trump or anyone he does so in a quite and respectful way, with a smile on his face, as he destroys any argument like a silent assasin.
He will be a welcome change from the crude form of Trump for sure. We can all agree on that. I dont see anyone in the deomocrat party who is going to win in 2020 or even 2024. We will go from Mr. Trump to Mr. Crenshaw. Dems best chance wont come again until 2032
By then I am sure a young independent party will come in and shake things up.......I hope

Young and independent and potus integrity worth? Why am I not believing it.

Love the pirate, though, what an intellect, modesty and integrity. I don't care that he's rooting for Rs, makes sense that they would have him, as opposed to Ds.
