Trump race accusations getting less coverage than Biden’s shoulder touch

[ataraxia]

When Joe Biden, touched a child’s shoulders while posing for the camera, it got far more outrage and press coverage in the recent rape accusations against Donald Trump. No one even seems to care about that. It’s just the president being the president, right?

Republicans were livid with outrage when Obama, in trying to provide a basic safety net of healthcare for the country, said “if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor”. Fox News was apparently able to find a few people who were not able to keep their original doctor.

But over 10,000 malicious lies by Donald Trump, meant to create deep division, mistrust, fear, anger, and hatred among entire demographic groups in this country, and it is crickets from our Republican friends.

Is shameless hypocrisy part of the official platform of the GOP too now?

no

we see this latest accusation as what it is

a book tour....and another opportunity to plant a small seed of doubt

no proof, no police reports, nothing concrete back when it happened

just another in a long line of women who dont like trump....

that is WHAT we see

 

[ataraxia]

If there is one word that would capture this phase of the Trump presidency, it would be “numb”. We have become completely numb.

As he promised, he really could go out now and start shooting people on the street, and he would not lose any support. If there is one thing he knows well, it’s the psychology of his supporters.

It’s only because you don’t want to look.

You spent six years eagerly looking for Obama’s secret Kenyan birth certificate. What is 16th accusation of rape? Who cares, right?

A little shame is sometimes not a bad thing, party of traditional values.

(Sigh) No, it's not "The President being the President."

It is the constant "outrage" of what many of us see as "sore losers," who have taken outrageous steps to negate the 2016 election results "by any means necessary." That, coupled with the incessant negative media coverage stoking the flames of this "outrage" for advertising views and to push their own political agendas is what we are REALLY tired of.

For example the "10,000 lies" meme. 9,000 of these so-called "lies" are mere exaggerations to "fluff" himself up like "I'm the best at...," "That was the largest ever...," "this will be the greatest...." Others are appear to be honest mistakes likely based on reports or assurances of trusted advisors pushing their policy agenda, much like I believe may have happened with your own political predecessor's "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" example.

There appear to be very few if actually any "tangible" lies made with malicious intent to deceive.

Here is a video on the OP topic that should give one pause regarding the first "metoo!" claim to come out:



The speaker is not a "Trumper," but he does express the same doubts many of us have about such reports.

Now to be fair, anyone who has any inkling of Trump's history knows that he is a womanizer. Just read his first wife's book, or hell...just about ANY biography not "ghost-written" for him.

But where was all this "MeToo!" back in 2016 when it could have actually had an effect? Especially with the Bill Cosby example starting in 2015 with over 60 accusers. Yet even after the "grab them by the..." comment what we got was "crickets."

Now they are pouring out of the woodwork in an effort to prevent his re-election? Small wonder many of us are "skeptical."

 

[ataraxia]

Is there anything that could surface at this point which would make you even a fraction as outraged as seeing a few people on Fox News who were supposedly not able to keep their doctor under the ACA?

We know for sure that cheating on his pregnant third wife with a stripper is not it. We know that making up dangerous, malicious lies about entire religious groups celebrating on rooftops after 911 is not it. So what could it be?

7 Key Promises Obamacare Broke

"If you like your health care plan, you can keep it." This was such an egregious lie that even left-wing PolitiFact dubbed it as the "Lie of the Year" in 2013: (emphasis bolded)
7 Key Promises Obamacare Broke | Daily Wire

Number of people impacted

NBC News reported that between 50 percent and 75 percent of the 14 million who buy individual health insurance would likely receive a cancellation notice over 2014 because their plans did not meet the requirements of the ACA.[3]
CBS News reported that more than two million Americans were told they could not renew their insurance policies for 2014.[11]
According to NBC News, the Obama administration knew in July 2010 that more than 40 percent to 67 percent of people in the individual market would likely not be able to keep their existing policies.[3]
Health policy consultant Robert Laszewski estimated 80 percent of individual insurance buyers would have to find new policies.

President Obama's apology

On November 7, 2013, President Obama issued an apology to those who lost their health insurance due to Obamacare regulations. He also said that the administration was looking into a fix, stating, "I've assigned my team to see what we can do to close some of the holes and gaps in the law because, you know, my intention is to lift up and make sure the insurance people buy is effective—that it's actually going to deliver what they think they're purchasing."

So when is Trump going to apologize?:lamo

Current Trump rape allegations remind me of the SNL skit where one person in a group of friends would bring up a topic that was already discussed 5 minutes before. Recall "punch them in the *****" or whatever that audio was. It was a huge thing at the time. But he still got elected and the press (leftist propaganda I should say) found out that that kind of stuff didn't have much bite.

Fast forward to 2019. The left wants a more exciting candidate than Biden, hence the bad press (propaganda) about his "touching" or whatever. Have the propaganda outlets chosen their candidate yet? I've not been paying too much attention, but I know it's not Biden.

Yes we know. At this point there is nothing that will have much of a bite for Trump. We have become completely numb to the craziness.

But Biden puts his arm around a kid to pose for a picture, and watch all the neck veins and eyeballs bulging out with outrage! LOL.

Well that's par for the course. Obama's 57 states and Trumps "koffefe" tweet would get opposite reactions depending on whose side you're on. I'm curious - Biden's touching and other faux pas - how are the CNNs dealing with it? Which democrat candidate are they protecting, and which are they trying to put down?

There is nothing remotely equivalent between rape and taking pictures with kids. There’s nothing equivalent between Obama’s promises on keeping your doctor and Trump’s 10,000+ dangerous, malicious, divisive lies. Aren’t you even a little bit embarrassed or feel any shame trying to draw some kind of comparison between these?

To be fair, every rational, intellectually honest adult knows that those 'exaggerations' are actually lies, and trying to pass them off as something else is simply an obvious rationalization.

I'll bet you said the same thing when Juanita Broaddrick accused Bill Clinton and the circumstances were exactly the same, up to and including not remembering when the rape happened.

Please tell me you don't really believe that Barack Obama thought there were 57 states. Because if you think he was being literal when he said that, it doesn't actually reflect well on you.

CNN has reported on everything Biden says and does, positively and negatively. What do you think they're missing? A firing squad?

i say the same thing on every occasion when a woman claims a man raped her...yet refuses to go to the authorities

how the hell are we going to change the freaking culture when women REFUSE to even report stuff to the police

either it happened, or it didnt

either you want to prosecute or you dont

there is no two ways about it....

but bringing things up ten, fifteen, twenty years later and expecting people to believe you....sorry

if five of these ladies had brought charges back then...even if NOTHING came about with the DA....do you think Trump would be president now?

we would have a bona fide record of police files....and numerous cases....then we could talk

but no.....they want to brush it under the rug until it is convenient for them to bring it up....and then try to use it

doesnt work that way....smells of partisan bull****....and that is why most of us dont believe a word of it

Most women who are raped don't ever report it.

Who is the "most of us" who you refer to who don't believe it?

 

[gdgyva]

Most women who are raped don't ever report it.

Who is the "most of us" who you refer to who don't believe it?

you are a smart lady....

you can figure that one out on your own

selling books is hard....salacious remarks make it a lot easier, right?

So she couldn't have been raped because she's selling a book? Um, okay.

So again, who is the "most of us" you're speaking for? It isn't me, that's for sure. After hearing him brag about grabbing female genitals without permission, I actually believe her.

Trump race accusations getting less coverage than Biden’s shoulder touch

Probably because normal people are tired of the same old crap leftists whine about? *yawn* Oh, another accusation, people say. BFD. It ranks right up there with leftists crying about: OMG, Trump drank a diet coke. Or, OMG DJT had two scoops of ice cream instead of one. Or, OMG, Trump put ketchup on a steak. Or, OMG Melania wore high heels.

Again, no one cares. Just like "10,000 lies," you see, normal people think that's just another leftist daily whinge. Too much crap, you people over played your hand. Again.

Obama thought there was 57 states in the same way Trump thinks covfefe is a real word. These mistakes, which everyone makes, are magnified in the press to the extent the political figure is supposed to be hated. "Covfefe" has about 22 times the web volume than "57 states" does, according to a Google web search.

Its because everyone got tired of Liberals crying wolf at every opportunity like Trump is a Russian agent and Kavanaugh is a high school rape train conductor.

After the first 10,000 lies from Liberals, everyone got the message. Hence why CNN tanked. Its a credibility issue.

Umm actually back in the 80's and before when a woman called the police unless she was bloody, beaten pulp nothing was filed or done. I believe the women all of them because unless you lived back then you could never understand how women were treated.
There is 1 rape on the books for Trump....no one talks about it.
Do you think if Ivana told her story today a DA wouldn't have picked it up and prosecuted? Back then it was a joke.

Given his long history of misogyny, sexual harassment and (admitted) sexual assault, it is completely reasonable for women to dislike Trump. I question those who don’t.
