2 days ago on Facebook, I asked how long it would be before the accusers started coming forward. 2 days, I reckon.

I just kind of wish Donald Trump would
go away (Don't think it will ever happen)
Carolyn(1958-2009) always in my heart.
Doesn't it sound funny that they are just NOW coming out with these accusations? They could have easily buried him a long time ago.
You know what sucks? How if these women are paid by Hillary to makeup a story it's just going to alienate actual victims and prevent them from coming forward.
Why did Coz's victims wait so long? Women don't always come forward right off especially when the rapist is famous. Now he has said what he said--and confesses to it--and it has perhaps emboldened them to step forward. I say this as a rape victim, just so you don't think I'm blowing out the corner of my mouth.
I did miss that point.
We can all make the mistake of over-generalizing but I don't see how one could take that to the point where they think it might be OK or acceptable to violate the rights or dignity of other people just because some people seem to welcome similar behavior. That's kind of like a boxer coming to think that just because all of his opponents expect him to punch them that everyone else on earth should too.
Even if Trump's behavior (that we know about) was tame by comparison to that of Clinton or Cosby; that does nothing to excuse him, IMO. Idi Amin didn't commit atrocities on nearly the scale that Hitler or Stalin did; that fact affords him no redemption of any kind or makes him more of an OK guy or a less evil guy compared to those two by my thinking.
I'm not trying to equate sexual assault (as terrible as it is) to genocide or murder; just saying that being a bit more tame or less prolific with it does nothing to lessen the crime.
I fear that he and Keith Richards are sharing a ride.
For eternity.

I'm SO tired of all of this election bullshit. Early voting starts next week. I'm going to vote and not watch nor read anything else about this campaign until election night.

Yeah if Trump is done on charges I think Biden should catch a case too.
Bill Clinton was excused both while campaigning for and holding office. Those who made excuses for him (it doesn't affect his ability to perform his duties) lost their right to judge.
If Trump were the Democratic candidate, few on the Democratic side would give a rat's behind about his shenanigans.
Yeah - I suspect that you're right about that.
I never supported Bill but I'd sure take him over the current choices.
This campaign has been the lowest that I can remember by far - I'm afraid that a new standard - such as it is - has been set and that future campaigns might only get worse until we figure out how to do something about our political methods. I mean, jeeze - these are the two most objectionable and undesirable candidates that I can imagine. On top of that; they are both the nominees of their parties, and they are both running for President at the same time. If they had each come along a few years apart I might not be quite so disgusted with our main two parties.
These two are the best that we have to offer in front of the entire world.
Just damn.
Every civilized nation and all of the rational people in the world must think that all of us are swallowing heaping handfuls of by prescription only, maximum strength stupid pills.
And this is just the campaign...

pull the string!
Seen on FB: image of Franklin Graham and the words If Trump doesn't win all Christians will be put in death camps (paraphrased.) FCOL! I knew it was fake news, but looked it up anyway. I was right. What kills me is his camp keeps saying the Hillary media is brainwashing us, when in fact Trump's machine is blatantly guilty itself. I put that poster's butt on restriction. I'm sure Clinton's followers have thrown mud, but not near as much fakery as Trump's (at least on my timeline). So called dedicated Christians have taken leave of their Bibles. Slander is slander is slander no matter if it concerns a person in the news or Mr. and Mrs. Joe and Jane Citizen. Sheesh.
Graham has stated more than once that he refuses to endorse either candidate because they are evil. He said he was more concerned by who the next POTUS appointed to the supreme court to uphold the constitution. Makes sense to me.

Well; you have to admit that it's a damned shameful waste of money to have all of those completed, ready to go, FEMA Death Camps just sitting around unused since at least the first Bush administration.
His New World Order crapped out, didn't round up all the gays and people with aids; then successive administrations failed to collect all the liberals, followed by failing to collect all the conservatives, followed by the failure to collect gun owners, and on and on.
Obviously, there just are not enough black helicopters to make this work; they really ought to do something about that.
If all that isn't crazy enough for you, then we have this:

Yeah - they'll want to protect American values through an armed revolt should our electoral system work as intended but against their liking. I'm sure none of them see the irony in that concept - some folks just can't see the truth for what it is even when it's right in front of them.
I wasn't happy when Obama won - twice - but that's how the majority voted and that's how it has to work.
I'm pretty much back to the distasteful idea of voting for Hillary. I toyed with the idea of going the third party route but I just don't believe in any of those guys; and none of them have a chance at winning anyway; that's just a fantasy; so I might as well deal with the unwanted reality than pretend otherwise.
Glad you like the sig.

When Trump talks about the election being "rigged", he doesn't mean in the direct fraud sense of say, manipulating ballots or adding dead people votes to skew the results. He means the wave of outside political forces pushing the electorate towards a particular candidate. The way the mainstream media is so intent on keeping a negative Trump headline in the news day after day after day meanwhile ignoring Hillary news such as the worse of the emails that were released. They talk about some, the ones that don't mean a whole lot just so they can say they covered the story. And then there is the charity.
At the VP debate Pence attacked the charity for various reasons and Kaine defended it as one of the best. In that debate it was hard for anyone to really measure that so it became Kaine's word against Pence's. Until now. The most recognized charity rating company has gone from not rating the Clinton charity (as a matter of fact it used to be on their fraud watch list) to suddenly giving it it's highest rating possible. They give some bullshit excuse as to why that is which you can read for yourself but one thing does stand out, a recent 2 million Clinton charity donation.
What is significant if it is not obvious already is come the debate on Wednesday if Trump challenges Hillary on the legitimacy of the charity she can now point out that the Charity Navigator gave it it's highest rating.
What pisses me off is not that Hillary will win, it is that people are gullible enough to not see that it is this machine that is at work here, a machine that relies on the collective stupidity of the american people for momentum.
Ok, I'm going to go waaayyy out on a limb here... What if, and it's a really big "if" Trump never intended to become POTUS? I say this hypothetically, because Trump never loses. Oh, he won't win the election, I personally don't think he ever had a chance. yet as he will tell you himself, he's the BEST at everything he does. But here's what I have noticed... I watched an episode of "Better Call Saul" where Jimmy's character was doing everything he could to get fired from the firm he despised working for, like not flushing the toilet after using it, spilling coffee on his boss, blowing up the microwave, you get the picture. Trump seems to be doing all those things, he has made some of the most outlandish statements that have never come from a presidential contender until now. And since he never loses, what if, after the election he come's out and says the ONLY reason he ran was to destroy the republican party? I mean, he's done a great job of dividing it so far, and didn't he run around in the Clinton circle for years? It would not be beyond him to come out and say that just to save face, and then he would proceed to make fun of all of the "losers" that continued to follow him in light of all of the outlandish things he said or did. Now, admittingly, I have allowed my mind to wonder off to this incredible theory, but at this point I don't think ANYTHING is beyond Donald Trump.
By my troth, I care not; a man can die but once; we owe God a death.... He that dies this year is quit for the next.

I used to think that was a possibility because I could not understand how he could continuously damage his own campaign. Now I just believe he has an ego so big that he thinks he can say what he wants and ignore advice from his staff because he thinks he knows better and will win.
I still wonder if he has a bet with some other billionaire(s) that he can say the kinds of things he says and still get people to vote for him.
I expected that once he was denied the nomination that he'd come out and say something like, "What? You guys thought I was serious?" It never dawned on me early on that he would actually get the nomination. Of course, it never dawned on me that so many people would actually vote for him based upon the stuff he says and the way he acts.
I think now that he does want to be elected. Who the heck knows what he wants after that - I suspect that not even he even knows that.
A faulty hypothesis forming:
A German scientist using Iranian physics and French mathematics.
I've also put forward that theory. My thoughts are that after all of his bravado got him nominated, either he peed his pants a little, but had to keep going; or went on playing the game for a while and then peed his pants. Now, he's just to the point where, as you say, he has discovered he can say anything and get away with it. I think I also predicted he would throw the word "rigged" out before the election, as that way he can't really "lose".
I am pretty sure most Americans have decided that with all of the crap we have put up with in past elections, this one has hit rock bottom. I believe it has hurt our standing with the rest of the world; we are now pretty much a joke on the world stage. In my opinion Ms. C is a legitimate candidate. I would venture to say, however, that had she been put up against another legitimate candidate, it would be a different race. Still the mudslinging - that's obligatory - but not to the ridiculousness of this. And real issues may have been discussed. The really frightening and shameful part is that our society made DT, and put him in this position -- and with the all too real possibility he may actually run (not lead) this country.
What pisses me off the most is you could have put Bozo the Clown on the ballot and he would win over Hillary, she's that damaged. But instead the people choose Donald Trump because he's "anti establishment" and the bastard does his best to prove he's anti everything. Don't get me wrong, I would prefer him over Hillary but his antics and carelessness is throwing this election. I have a feeling tonight will be epic.
I agree, had it been a viable Republican candidate, Hillary would have been in for quite a fight. I cannot believe DT is the Republican choice, and no way will he win. The only thing he has actually accomplished is making SNL funny again, if only briefly.

I'll join you. I'll bring alcohol....
ROFLMAO!!!!! This is hilarious!!!!
Trump will never have THIS Mexican's vote. Nope. I'm leaning heavily toward Jill Stein. She's picked up where Bernie left off, but I think Hubby is voting Gary Johnson. I'm getting flack on FB for not supporting Trump. Uh, he's a racist and I'm a person of color? The little Trumplings, or Trump supporters, assume that because I am a Latina, I am therefore illegal. Not every Hispanic person you come across is illegal. I was born here, adopted into a white family at the age of two, and do not know my birth family. So as far as I'm concerned, my family IS legal, they're white.
Not to mention as a sexual assault survivor, his bragging that he "grabs [women] by the p***y" is extremely insulting. The meme above, though, was funny. My cousin grabbed me like that when I was 3, and would go on to rape me from the age of 4 until I turned 10 and hit puberty. So his bragging about his exploits offends me deeply.
"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."

Tequila, of course. With or without salt and/or lime. In fact, I tweeted last night, "There's not enough tequila in Mexico to get me to watch this debate."
Although if you're not wanting something that hard, a little whipped cream vodka in root beer (or diet root beer) makes for a tasty adult root beer float. A little whipped cream vodka in orange soda (NOT the Hi-C Orange crap from McDonald's) and you have an adult Orange Julius. Whipped cream vodka is just plain tasty in cream soda, too. In fact, mix it with any soda for an adult float.

This election has seriously made me question having a FB account. I never new I could be acquainted with so many racist and homophobic people. It didn't seem that bad when Obama ran for the 2nd term, but then again you didn't have a candidate standing up and saying all the ugly things Trump has been saying. I'm pretty disgusted, I've never witnessed anything this polarizing...

I agree, I can't stand either one of them, but he revels in bringing out the worst in people. I used to think his followers were uneducated, and that's NOT the case at all, which makes it all more shocking. You know, DT could be a murdering pedophile and they would still vote for him, I just don't get it. I hope this is the one and only horrible election I ever have to witness.

Completely ditto. It's nasty. They'll sit there and slander Hillary all day & nite( granted she's not perfect, none of Us are) and treat him like he's golden. A self absorbed,racist,homophobic,no regard for women possible president..all the progress we've made ( women's rights, gay rights,rights for the disabled, rights for people of different races, )that we've made over who knows how many decades i fear will go completely backwards. It's sad.
I read that as well and at this point after seeing his ignorant responses toward ....Um, everything or everyone who opposes him- He has always been a disgusting "human being" But Marlee Matlin inncident and his machete mouth disgusts me even more. I just wish he would fade away...Quickly!
Further more, Wish Karma would visit this POS and FAST! JMO
