Let’s clear up the “grab ‘em by the *****” Fake News once and for all

[Crovax]

In 2016 Fake News released an 11 year old recording of Trump engaged in locker room banter with Billy Bush, a co-host of the NBC's Today Show, and like a frenzied school of piranhas they created a huge fake outrage nothingburger out of it. The Left now go around saying, “Trump is a prevert; he molests women; he’s ebil, duhh…”

Here is the part of the transcript that most Lefties gasp in horror about:

Donald Trump: You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful. I just start kissing them.
Billy Bush: Ha ha ha ha hee hee
Donald Trump: It’s like a magnet. Just kiss…
Billy Bush: Hee hee hee hee heee
Donald Trump: I don’t even wait, and when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything!
Billy Bush: Whatever you want.
Donald Trump: Grab ’em by the *****.
Billy Bush: [Guffaws hysterically] Bwaaa haa ha hee hee heeegh heee
Donald Trump: You can do anything.
Billy Bush: Uh, yeah, those legs, all I can see is the legs.

As you can see, Trump said 'they let you do it'. Which part of 'they let' don't the Left understand? Hundreds of millions of heterosexual American men have done the same exact thing, because, like Trump, they were also 'let'. Nearly all men on CNN and the NYTimes have done exactly the same thing, because they ‘were let’ do it.

Or do they claim they haven’t done such things? Really? They’re all celibate monks?

No, I doubt they’d want to go around saying that.

I think you are missing some important subtext, its about the implication

this video should clear it up

 

[VanceMack]

Of COURSE this was all fake outrage...and worse...it was fake outrage expressed by the same people that worship Bill Clinton and voted for him twice. The same people that today are doing their damndest to blow past the Harvey Weinstein scandal. This is nothing new. Ted Kennedy can get drunk and grope staffers and he is the 'lion of the senate'. Bob Packwood can grope two women and he is Satan Incarnate and should be run out of town on a rail. Well..MOST people thought that. Hillary Clinton called his accusers a couple of "whiny bitches". Why? Because Bob Packwood was one of the few GOP senators that backed her health care initiatives as the first lady.

The poutrage is always relative.

 

[Utility Man]

Trump was elected to disparage America, nothing more.

There was no implication. It was quite direct. If you are a star, women will let you do anything. There was absolutely no implication that you could grab the ***** of an unwilling woman.

Not fake news when he actually said it.

Not fake news when he actually meant it.. why? Context is key. Locker room banter? Context is key. The man has walked in on 15 year olds, and said he would "date" his daughter. He has been accused (yes in sealed documents for now) of martial rape and beatings, and cheated on all his former wives. He has even been accused of cheating on his current wife and considering his attitude towards women in general, then he is of the type of man and part of the generation, where grabbing them by the ***** is normal.. he is after all an older rich powerful white guy and a narcissist. You think a weak woman he has power over will say no? Who would believe her over him? You see it all the time and especially in the past. Jimmy Saville, a British sex offender, kept going and was protected because he was famous and rich and women who accused him were never believed. Harvey Wienstien in hollywood has been able to keep up his molesting for decades, because he is rich and powerful and people protected him because of it.

Also he knew he had a microphone on.. he was talking to strangers, and "locker room banter" is usually done with people you know quite well. Was he showing off? Most likely, that is Trump in a nutshell.. narcissistic sexist jackass.

So not fake news.. he said it and admitted he did it.

 

[Rob Larrikin]

The whole conversation is typical of "boy talk" and if you think that's bad, you should hear what girls say when they think no one's listening. LOL

More interesting than the actual should-have-been-private conversation is why it was recorded in the first place -- and why someone hung on to the recording all these years. Now, there's a story, but we'll probably never hear it.

Good points. Your thanks link is missing of course. Anyway, I agree. The Fake News have been very quiet about Billy Bush’s involvement. He’s one of theirs, after all.

Well, you know one now.

Which changes nothing I said. There are always exceptions out of hundreds of millions of men. I knew a guy once who liked to eat sand. I knew another who brayed like a donkey when told a joke. Suffice to say I lost touch with both.

Based partly on the tape.

That made no sense.

I obviously did read the post.

It was clear you hadn’t.

When a news story is true, it is not fake.

And when a news story is fake, it’s fake.

Have you often struggled with the English language or just this time?

If you know it you should use it to make some relevant points.

Again "let" because the implication is that if you say no Trump will ruin your career

 

[Oborosen]

Ok, so, first you are rehashing old news to repeat what every one already knew. Then you are saying that a recording of Trump's actual words is somehow "fake news"(hint: he really did say it, it is not fake).

I think it runs more along the lines of CNN framing him just sharing banter, as an admission that Trump was a sexual predator. Which not a single one of them was able to prove past this recording.

Even Hillary used the information to call him as such on the campaign trail, and had no evidence to back it up besides mentioning the recording.

 

[Oborosen]

Indeed it is exactly what he said. I listened carefully to the tape, and every word is my own transcript, and it is word perfect. Listen for yourself.



No, it is exactly what he said. Listen for yourself.



If that is your suggestion about what he should have said, don’t apply for a job as a Presidential advisor anytime soon.



You misquoted him. He actually 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”

And it is indeed what men do. I don’t know any men who haven’t spoken the same way in private. You may rest assured all the men on Fake News have said worse in private, since, unlike Trump, they have no scruples at all.

Guilty (raises hand) Was a sailor for over half a decade.. I've said some sick things, and it was all hilarious.

 

[Oborosen]

The word on the street is that women almost universally rate him excellent. You did wonder why Clinton Corp could not get Trumps women all the way back to university days to talk against him..... they love him, and what he did to them......... they had no interest.


Now compare that to this story that exists claiming Trump mistreats women all because of how Trump mishandled the Billy Bush tape.

Which one is better for him?

Both are somewhat damning to a certain extent.
Though the media & democrats inability to wield it like an effective weapon has done far more damage to them, then it could have done to him.

The bush tape was his slipup, but the publicity was their **** up.

 

[Oborosen]

Funny.

Seriously though, I think this came about because he has a big torso and head. I think his hands are normal, but they look small next to his big looming body.

Medically speaking, his fingers are slightly stunted. Around what I think is called the 15th percentile.
They have done castings, and people jumped on that to call his hands tiny. Even though his hands still range in the average for an older adult male.

Still doesn't keep leftist from showing just how small of a person each of them are though. :lamo

Well then, I await to hear all of your disparaging comments about Steven Tyler, Axle Rose, Ozzy, and everyone who has ever done the same.

No, I doubt they’d want to go around saying that.

The only way Trump could know that they let him grope them is if he asked for consent before hand. But of course, he didn't ask for consent before groping them because in Trump's own words he "doesn't even wait" before groping them.

And if you think young women not making a complaint against the famous, powerful billionaire means they consented, then you're very naive.

WOW!!!! That a real high bar you set there for the type of behavior we want in a president!!!!!

 

[calamity]

I stopped reading right there. Releasing an actual recording is not "fake news." But, your poutrage certainly is.

 

[Oborosen]

Not really, its the bar I set for someone who likes to pretend they are a rock star.. and the woman in the picture seemed to be more than willing to get that signature by the way.

 

[Serenity]

and the woman in the picture seemed to be more than willing to get that signature by the way.

She really did. I can't look at the pic without thinking of Happy Gilmore though. I mean heck, who wouldn't want Happy Gilmore as their President :lol:

hahah, I am now picturing a fist fight between Bob Barker & Trump.

Why rehash this, if you think it is fake? Posting a transcript doesn't reveal anything new, and we know by now that Trump is no gentleman.
Surely we all know the definition of demeaning, don't we? "they let you do it" what does that say about the person who has such low opinion about women?
We all realize that some groupies will do just about anything to get near a famous person. That doesn't give anyone the right to generalize women as objects.

Hundreds of millions of heterosexual American men

The current population of the United States of America is 325,076,767 as of Saturday, October 7, 2017. So by your estimate, that leaves very little room for the rest of us, because most Ladies have higher standards that to let someone grab us at leisure.

So the Democrats didn't come running with pitchforks when a Dem was caught with his hand down the pants of some staffer 30 years his junior.

Kind of like you as a Republican didn't come running with a pitchfork when Trump boasted about trying to screw a married woman.

I think we are beginning to see a trend here, right?

But just for consideration, can one be disgusted with both parties men who are totally unable to control their penises?

 

[OlNate]

Good grief, just when I thought I couldn't be surprised anymore at how low some Trump supporters will lower the bar to make this donut palatable. Don't worry, other conservative friends, I know it's not all Trump supporters that find this particular entry on Trump's resume acceptable. But just so ya know, it's this kind of thing that got you guys called deplorable...not that you're all participating, but when your fringe does all the talking on subjects like this, it's the only quotes any of us have to go on. Would love to see some of the non-deplorable Trump supporters say "Ya, I like the guy, for whatever reason, but "Grab em by the *****" was gross and unacceptable, there is no polishing that turd".

 

[eohrnberger]

The tape was little more than the Hillary campaign's October surprise, and it didn't work as they had intended. I have to agree with others who've posted, 'Why rehash this?'.

 

[Helix]

Trump does grope women. he admitted it on a live mic, so it's impossible to spin it away. also, his supporters don't seem to care.

 

[Rob Larrikin]

Ah the salt of a sailor, none such like it.

Imagine if Clinton were to spend a few days on a bunk next to a hundred sailors, what she'd hear.

If a liberal was caught on tape saying the exact same thing you'd flip out. So let's quit pretending that this thread is any thing other than "gotta protect my guy".
