Trump tweeted this out yesterday in response to yet another White House staff member resigning in the wake of allegations of spousal abuse.Peoples lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. Some are true and some are false. Some are old and some are new. There is no recovery for someone falsely accused - life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 10, 2018
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand decided that he had a point.
The President has shown through words and actions that he doesn’t value women. It’s not surprising that he doesn’t believe survivors or understand the national conversation that is happening.— Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand) February 10, 2018
Well that seems perfectly reasonable to me.The lives of survivors of sexual assault and domestic abuse are being shattered every day. If he wants due process for the over dozen sexual assault allegations against him, let’s have Congressional hearings tomorrow. I would support that and my colleagues should too.— Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand) February 10, 2018
If Trump really wants to see justice done, and an investigation of the numerous allegations being bandied about, well where better to start than with the ones against him?
If Trump thought the Mueller investigation was terrifying, wait until he saw a parade of women making accusations against him filling into the Senate chambers.
Now THAT would be must see TV.
OT: Gryph, did you see The Netherlands flag Olympics? ‘Twas a thing of beauty. :)

Donnie's got the beginning of a Tweet poem...Let's see,

Some are old and some are new,
Some bruises are green and some are blue".
Potential last line: "I do it too, sucks to be you".

DeleteThat's what happens when the only thing the president can read without help is "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish."
Delete(And he really only likes the red fish because the blue fish are mean to him)
+++
Deletewhat about the process that's called "due"?
DeleteIs there no such thing as booting his sorry ass out of office? Pussy grabbing creep, but they "liked it," right, dotard?
ReplyDeleteHe's fighting that "due process" thing he's calling for! Let's add his accusers charges to the investigation. That will give him due process!
DeleteNow what just a minute,what is this talk about due process for the victims, due process is only for republican men.
ReplyDeleteAbuser donnie didn't have a problem that Franken didn't have due process.
What i want to know is how can someone become president if they can't get FBI security clearance? Good thing trump doesn't work because he couldn't get a security clearance in his own office.
Read the Constitution, specifically the requirements for being President. Besides, security clearances probably weren't even dreamed of 200+ years ago.
DeleteThe constitution has nothing to do with this,is the people that work for the president need security clearance,so should the president and this couldn't clean the toilets in the WH
DeleteLeave it to trump to keep digging his own grave deeper.
ReplyDeleteKirsten Gillibrand sounds quite reasonable now, but I remember her being the first to call for Sen. Al Franken's resignation after he requested those very same Congressional hearings regarding the accusations about his own conduct. Makes me think she'd had ulterior motives, like keep him out of the running for a presidential bid in 2020. Not trusting her.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Fuck her.
DeleteThey asked her about this on the View and she never answered the question, she skated around it.
DeleteYep. I've got a great memory and I'll never vote for Gillibrand no matter how much she tries to atone, cover up or ignore what she did to Franken.
DeleteShe has a nerve saying anything about due process. Fucking hypocrite.
I agree with 7:39, 8:39,10:15 and 10:25.
DeleteWhere was Gillibrand with a similar offer to Al Franken for due process, especially when he asked for an open investigation?
Her snap judgment when it came to Franken, lost a lot of future voters, including me.
Yeah. Got a feeling this Gillibrand person is the female version of Trump. I am a democrat but I thought the way she threw Franken under the bus was not good. She'd better go after Trump to redeem herself.
DeleteIt's funny that she of all people is chiming in about due process and hearings...
ReplyDeleteOT deplorable...

What a disgusting cesspool of criminals and lowlifes we have at the highest levels of our government these days.
Delete"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought we were talking about the OTHER domestic abuser in my inner circle."
@9:01 last word...'in my inner circle' JERK.
DeleteCONbloWJOB!

So the women made him grab them?
DeleteMaybe they were wearing skimpy gymnastics leotards and he couldn't control his basest instincts because, you know, MAGA and all that shit.
DeleteLiar liar kelley can't keep it up hiding his demented patient.
ReplyDeleteSomeone surveil the comings and goings.
Of course replacement will be someone close to keep hiding demented patient. It will not be any outsider.
Back in the day, or still, the police use to believe the husband when an abused wife sought their help. This is the world Donald and his constituents come from and he's trying to keep it that way. I bet he slaps Melania around.
ReplyDeleteIt's that rancid patriarchy Steve Bannon is defending as being under attack and if we give in to the anti-patriarchy wimmens we shall all be destroyed. The world as we know it will be gone. Gone I tell you.
DeleteI am reminded of two lines from Paint Your Wagon:
"But Elizabeth, you don't know what you'll get."
"I know what I've had."
I say let the patriarchy be replaced. At this point, could it be worse than what we've had?
http://www.politicususa.com/2018/02/11/former-congresswoman-predicts-devastating-russia-information-going-come-trump.html
ReplyDelete" “I think the Republicans are enabling trump, are participating in this effort to smear Mueller, smear the FBI, because ultimately what’s going to happen, I believe, is that devastating information is going to come out about Donald Trump himself, and so what’s the best defense, but to smear the FBI, to smear Mueller, to smear the investigation. And that’s what’s wrong because we’re talking about IMPORTANT institutions of this country.”"
People should listen to her and her history:
ReplyDelete"Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand: I've been working for five years on trying to end sexual violence in the military, I've been working on trying to clean up sexual assault on college campuses because too many universities shove this stuff under the rug. And I now am trying to clean up Congress."
