If we are fairly going to hold all these powerful men responsible for their inappropriate actions toward women we simply cannot allow one of the most prolific abusers to skate free.

Courtesy of Raw Story:

“As a society, we are finally beginning to hold powerful men to account for abusing their positions and influence to harass and abuse women. But this movement for accountability will ring hollow if it doesn’t apply to the most powerful, and public, sexual harasser in America—the president,” Brave New Films founder Robert Greenwald notes in a statement. 

“In the post-Harvey Weinstein (or Roy Moore, Louis C.K., etc.) world we live in, we cannot ignore 16 women who over the course of decades in a broad range of situations encountered the same pattern of manipulation, misogyny, harassment and abuse,” Greenwald adds. 

“We owe it to these women, and to all women, to hold President Trump to account.”

It is way past time that this serial abuser suffers the consequences of his actions.

And if his office makes him untouchable at this time, then he needs to be removed from that office and stripped of the protections currently afforded to him so that he can face justice.

As long as Donald Trump remains in the White House he is a symbol to rapists, pedophiles, and sexual abusers that they do not have to fear being held accountable for their actions.

Update: Here is a timeline of every woman who accused Trump of groping or assaulting them.

During on air clash over allegations against Donald Trump, Newt Gingrich accuses Megyn Kelly of being "fascinated with sex."

Courtesy of NPR:

"You are fascinated with sex, and you don't care about public policy," Gingrich said. 

Kelly replied, "Me, really?" 

Gingrich: "That's what I get out of watching you tonight." 

Kelly: "You know what, Mr. Speaker? I'm not fascinated by sex, but I am fascinated by the protection of women and understanding what we're getting in the oval office ... "

Of course then Gingrich attempts to make the case that Bill Clinton is also a sexual predator and dares Kelly to say that out loud on her show.

She refuses.

And then she ends the contentious exchange with this: 

"We're going to have to leave it at that, and you can take your anger issues and spend some time working on them, Mr. Speaker. Thanks for being here."

You know I am not always Megyn Kelly's biggest fan, but that was fairly impressive.

By the way it should be pointed out that Gingrich is a slimeball of epic proportions, and that while he was working to impeach President Clinton for that blowjob, he himself was cheating on his first wife (Update: Oops sorry, his SECOND wife.) with his current, much younger, wife.

P.S. Gingrich was upset enough about the exchange with Kelly that he channeled his boss and took to Twitter to defend himself.
Notice he did not say he was not a hypocritical philandering POS. So I guess we can assume he accepts that about himself.

P.P.S. Apparently Trump also weighed in on this.
And of course he was very impressed.

Perhaps he is preparing for his own defeat by watching another entitled white man getting his ass handed to him by a woman.

Bill Cosby finally responds to allegations of sexually assaulting numerous women in his past. Well sort of.


Courtesy of Deadline:

Addressing reports of the assertions by several women that they had been drugged and sexually assaulted by him, Cosby told a Florida Today reporter backstage, “I know people are tired of me not saying anything, but a guy doesn’t have to answer to innuendos. People should fact check. People shouldn’t have to go through that and shouldn’t answer to innuendos.” Cosby did not comment on the allegations during his show.

Well the facts say this:  

Sixteen women have publicly stated that Cosby, now 77, sexually assaulted them, with 12 saying he drugged them first and another saying he tried to drug her. The Washington Post has interviewed five of those women, including a former Playboy Playmate who has never spoken publicly about her allegations. The women agreed to speak on the record and to have their identities revealed. The Post also has reviewed court records that shed light on the accusations of a former director of women’s basketball operations at Temple University who assembled 13 “Jane Doe” accusers in 2005 to testify on her behalf about their allegations against Cosby. 

The accusations, some of which Cosby has denied and others he has declined to discuss, span the arc of the comedy legend’s career, from his pioneering years as the first black star of a network television drama in 1965 to the mid-2000s, when Cosby was firmly entrenched as an elder statesman of the entertainment industry, a scolding public conscience of the African American community and a philanthropist. They also span a monumental generational shift in perceptions — from the sexually unrestrained ’60s to an era when the idea of date rape is well understood.

Bill Cosby is a well educated man, so you would think that he would know that the "Innuendo" means:  

a statement which indirectly suggests that someone has done something immoral, improper, etc.

What is listed above are not innuendos, they are accusations. Most of them from women who have nothing to gain by making them, and THAT'S a fact. 

Cosby attitude about this seem to be the same ones that allowed him to do this in the first place.

He thinks of himself as untouchable, and thinks of the women he was abused as temporary playthings that should simply go away and know their place when he has no further use for them.

And if there is a need for more facts, then this former NBC employee has plenty to spare:

“He had everybody fooled,” said Scotti in an exclusive interview with the Daily News. “Nobody suspected.”

Boy, ain't that the truth.
