Tape Reveals Donald Trump Bragging About Kissing and Groping Women

[smilesammich 10,727]

Of all the locker rooms and back stages I have ever been to I have never heard anyone boast about sexual assault. Lewd stories, sure, but this is something else. Great to hear some support rape culture here on VJ!!!!

Hey but let's get distracted by comments about rap music-lol.

I think you've seen the future , Val;) !!!! SAD!!?

if the gop has one brain cell left among them, they find a replacement candidate now.

Sad thing is it didn't even have to come to this, you know? They could have gotten it together and put out a respectable candidate before any of it. They may not have won sure, but it's better than selling your soul to the devil and doing real damage.

If they changed now, would it make too much of a difference? Pence had props for being sincere, but he has a lot of policy problems as governor. His views on abortion and LGBT won't be widely accepted, except for in his demographic.

americans have such short attention spans. if they drop him quick and have a nice fresh carrot to dangle i'm sure they can carry on. i've heard trump supporters say they can't stand trump but they think pence a hero. maybe they'll just swap the ticket, lol.

you realize that trump's daughter is married right? that she's an example of a successful business woman balancing her roles as a wife, mother, and daughter? at least that's what i'm hearing people say..

It's all the same to Donald.

Oh man, it took me a whole minute to figure out TT stands for Trump tower. Seemed like an eon.

After Paul Ryan effectively disinvited Trump from attending the event together today, and replaced him with Pence, Pence has decided not to attend either.

Ya know what? If I were Pence, and as principled and 'godly' as he claims, and had future ambitions, I'd resign from being his VP. I'd think that would be the quickest way to force Trump into smelling the coffee.

[Jacque67 7,328]

Pence statement out:

"I do not condone his remarks nor can I defend them"

Says he's looking forward to the Sunday debate.

#character is destiny!!!!

108 prominent Republicans (and counting) who won't support Trump

Bush and Trump on that bus are, in so many ways, the apotheosis of what so many of Hillary Clintons supporters are ready to overturn: the musty sleaziness that went out of style in the 1970s; the old bosses who want their secretaries pretty; the cigar-chomping power brokers who think sexual harassment is the womans problem; the drooling dimwits who have gotten further than they should have on connections and male privilege. The bus is the old boys club that women rarely get to see inside but it may also turn out to be the wrecking ball that takes down the club for good.

I have a boss who gets it and really is a genuine proponent of women. He is a powerful, savvy, talented guy at the top of his game and he knows how to really respect a woman -- treat her like a god damn human being with the capacity to be powerful, savvy and talented too. It's a fantastic motivator. I work hard for him and produce results because I know he has my back. It's very easy in my office, where I have this awesome boss, to forget that this BS still happens out in the world.

All it takes is one client to remind you the world don't work like that. Some think I'm "just" a secretary because I'm the only woman in the office (I'm not the secretary -- that young guy sitting in reception runs our admin team) and ask my boss to tell his "girl" to go get them some coffees. Or one of them might casually mention that there are real risks in hiring women in their 30s, since they're all itching to get married and have teh baybeez at all times. (This was said in front of me, like I was going to agree.) Or the client who mentioned that he had decided not to go ahead with a deal because the other side was led by a woman, and "you know how they can get, and she seemed to be getting pretty emotional about everything." (This client was frankly ridiculously emotional himself and needed constant handholding and talking down off the proverbial ledge.) My boss is very good about correcting these clients about "how the wimminz are" and cautions them about making generalizations, but this happens, and not that rarely. But as a woman, hearing this stuff on a regular basis hurts. It makes you angry more than it makes you sad or scared. It makes you want to kick these losers where it would actually hurt, since destroying them intellectually would be lost on their puny brains. (See: Clinton v. Trump.) To these morons, that you are a woman means that you start from an inferior position simply by dint of being born with an XX instead of an XY. I have many things to say about these men, but none of them are VJ friendly in the slightest.

Anyone who wants to say this is only locker room talk and so it's okay needs to really think about that. Think about how you would feel Trump were saying he could just grab your sister in the ladyparts because he's famous, and she'd just go along with it. How you'd feel if Trump said he'd kiss your wife even if she didn't want it, or that he'd pursue her even though she's married. How your wife would feel if she knew she was just an interchangeable piece of meat. Average men don't get treated like this. Average women do.

Women KNOW what men talk about. Most of us here are old enough to have been around men on many, many occasions when they are unguarded. We know the difference between the merely vulgar and a claim that forced sexual attention is somehow okay in certain circumstances. We know crass guy talk, the boasting about how many women you've slept with, or how you got some hot chick to let you put your pee-pee in her hoo-hoo. Women are vulgar and crass too, not delicate flowers in need of the fainting couch and smelling salts when dudes start spinning yarns of sexual bravado. But assault? No. Not acceptable, no more than if someone I knew was bragging about grabbing someone else's laptop. Or repeatedly stealing laptops because hey, who's going to stop them?
