Former President Trump Thread

They'll tell you this is just the normal course of business, farmers get bailouts all the time, there's nothing different here than there was when they first started rolling out CRP credits - which they're still totally against, by the way, but if everyone else is gonna take them, then they have to too, or they'll be at a disadvantage - but it's no different than all them other times they got checks from the government. And if this sounds a bit too cynical, or a bit too far out there... you could replace every "they" with a "we" and it'd be something I'd heard word for word from an uncle of mine, last time they were getting ready to send out bailout checks to farmers. As long as life doesn't change too much, the routine doesn't get shaken up too badly, it wouldn't matter if Stalin was in the White House. Sometimes I wonder if it'd matter if it was Hitler.
 
There was an anonymous letter written accusing him of assault, but the people that are anti-kavanaugh seem to think that it was made up by republicans to try to discredit the other accusers (like what they tried to do with Roy Moore).

I'm not sure what @Hailey Zero Mission is referring to though.
Probably referring to Trump saying the whole #metoo movement is dangerous for men and should be stopped. Sexual assault just isn’t fun if the victims are allowed to tell other people about it, y’know?
 
According to CNN, today at 10a EDT (i.e., right now) Christine Ford will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee about Kavanaugh.

It was about other men stepping forward to say they were the ones who sexually assaulted Ford and she mistook them for Kavanaugh. This is how hard the Republicans will go for this.
 
Yeah, I saw that Fox was attempting to push the "mistaken identity" narrative. I wish I could say I was surprised, but they'll do anything they can to get this guy confirmed - and it doesn't matter how much of a monster he is. We have a sitting president who famously said that he could shoot people in Times Square and get away with it, and here they're trying to appoint a judge who's destined to ensure that's true.
 
He did just go on record saying women lie about sexual assault just to ruin men, and I fully believe he can't comprehend any other possibility.

To him, it's like a steak objecting to being eaten. Women aren't people, they're noisy fuckmeat at worst and pretty possessions at best.

Sorry, let me amend my statement: he only believes it could happen if a minority did it to a white woman, you know, minorities not being human and all that. Otherwise, all the previous statements apply.

Well, to him, that'd be more like a case of destruction of property than an actual assault on a person.

CNN article.

"I don't think she's uncredible," said Hatch, the senior senator from Utah, when asked during the lunch break in Ford's testimony. "I think she's an attractive, good witness."
When CNN asked what he meant by "attractive," Hatch responded, "In other words, she's pleasing."

These are NOT words anyone should be using in regards to testimony about sexual assault!
 
I am sick of hearing people saying how this can damage Kavanaugh's Future.

He's 50 and had a life long career as a lawyer, judge, White House advisor, I WISH I had a future as sunny as his past.

It's like I said in the Bill Cosby discussion: he's been getting away with it for decades and now he's finally getting caught. This isn't ruining a life: he was benefitting on borrowed time.
