A departure from my norm on the weekends……as much as I hate it….there is some political news that needs posting…..
This has been a fascinating, if not a bit disturbing, presidential election this time around…..BAM! …..and as it is true to form there was an October surprise……
Donald Trump is issuing a rare apology after a video caught him making lewd, sexually charged comments about women in 2005, the AP reports. But he also downplayed the comments as “locker room banter.” He issued the statement after the Washington Post revealed video of Trump caught on a hot mic while talking with Billy Bush, then of Access Hollywood. In the video, Trump is heard saying he “did try and f— her,” referring to an unknown woman, whom he admitted was married. The video was recorded months after his own marriage to Melania Trump, but it was unclear when the encounter he was describing took place. “I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it,” he said.
More comments followed after the pair noticed actress Arianne Zucker, who was waiting to meet them outside the bus for a taping. “I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her,” Trump says. “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.” He adds, “Grab them by the p—–.” In a statement, Trump said: “This was locker-room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course—not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.”
A 6 word apology and the rest was all campaign……
As disgusting as this was….the question is why release it now and not sooner……answer….more bang for the buck in October….just before the actual vote takes place.
Will this be the stake needed?
Depending on the reaction….there is more waited to drop……
I talked to a couple of ladies who thought Trump’s remarks were … Hot. I think he has turned a lot of women on with his newly-disclosed remarks. There is always the possibility that this one could backfire in the face of the haters. Usually everytime the Manic Stream Media says something negative about Trump it works in his favor.
Sorry I cannot see any woman thinking anything but disgust…with that said it is an election and NO one should be surprised…it is about winning not what is right. Also…what would have been said if it were Clinton or Bernie or any other candidate?
He isn’t the first to say things and he won’t be the last — https://theripeningwanderer.com/2016/10/07/the-ripening-wanderer-144/
Exactly…but he is the last and he is running for prez…..LBJ was already there and it was during segregation and everyone pretty much agreed with him…I read your post….
Whatever will be will be. Thanks for commenting. Trump’s big mouth or Hillary’s (I am not going there) — we will be stuck with one or the other.
Sadly true…but I cannot be blamed…LOL
No, you cannot be blamed. That is true!
I am talking about my vote…..I will be blamed by the loser because of the way I voted
I believe chances are good that the loser won’t even know who either you or myself are … neither will he or she care who we are.
Nope but some one will make a generic bullshit about the vote…..you see we cannot accept that a candidate lost without interference…
Everything is rigged all the time and everyone knows it so this is a non starter.
First, allow me to apologize for not being here to comment as often as I am used to doing. My post today explains part of why; my angst is hiding, so to speak, and I’m learning a lot of new physical activity paradigms requiring mucho practice. In effect, I’m reconnecting with Reality. That said, I will try to get by more often, now I’m feeling better…
As for this post, none of it is particularly surprising; it merely serves to show me why I decided to boycott this election altogether. It’s all a pathetic sham, and, sadly, is proof the American public is getting exactly what it deserves…. All the candidates are either mental, or deluded; not a single one of them has a grasp of true reality…and it doesn’t matter, because the whole world lives in a fantasy….
gigoid, the dubious
I was not surprised especially because the election day is less than a month
I am just glad that you are able to keep visiting…. away…..all is game….chuq
What surprises me the most is that people were actually surprised by his comments. Seriously? That BUFFOON is, was and will always be a PIG!
Yea…..he has been a douche for decades…..
