Courtesy of Addicting Info:Barbara Res on her former boss, Donald Trump: "He has to be stopped" #inners https://t.co/gLOKoF3NzK— All In w/Chris Hayes (@allinwithchris) May 19, 2016
Res, who oversaw the construction of Trump Tower and now supports Hillary Clinton, explained to Hayes that Trump “will put our country back thirty years” and “will be bad for our country.”
She added, “I don’t think he has the experience to be president, or the political knowledge to be president.” Res also said Trump’s policies are “very backward, very anti-woman, very anti-woman” and very “anti-progress.”
Gee no kidding.
And it could not happen too soon as Trump is already taking up the conservative conspiracy theories to go after Hillary Clinton, and even more pointedly Bill Clinton.
Courtesy of the Washington Post:
Donald Trump went there last night on Fox News, accusing Bill Clinton of “rape.” In an exchange between Trump and Sean Hannity, the Fox host railed against recent media coverage of Trump’s treatment of women, asking whether women who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct would also be interviewed. And then this transpired:
“In one case, it’s about exposure. In another case, it’s about groping and fondling and touching against a woman’s will,” Hannity said.
“And rape,” Trump responded.
Whenever Trump says this kind of thing — for instance, when he says he will be attacking Hillary Clinton for enabling Bill Clinton’s womanizing — a great burst of hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth pours forth from Democrats who fear that Trump’s “unconventional” and “unpredictable” attacks could prove difficult to fend off.
(Of course Trump might want to cool his jets on this line of attack, as he is not the only one that can play this game.)
If all of that were not enough there is a commentary on the Post that also, quite seriously, discusses the possibility of Donald Trump's presidency making fascism fashionable in America:
This is how fascism comes to America, not with jackboots and salutes (although there have been salutes, and a whiff of violence) but with a television huckster, a phony billionaire, a textbook egomaniac “tapping into” popular resentments and insecurities, and with an entire national political party — out of ambition or blind party loyalty, or simply out of fear — falling into line behind him.
Worried yet? Yeah, me too.
We Should Remind You: Trump Defended Clintons Against ‘Moralists’ Who Brought Up Sex Scandals

Excellent. I am worried too.
ReplyDeleteFox News Jackass So Excited About EgyptAir Crash, Because It’s GREAT News For Trump
ReplyDeleteBy now, you probably know there was an awful EgyptAir plane crash off the coast of Greece, carrying 66 people on their way to Cairo from Paris. Wreckage may have been found not far from the Greek island of Karpathos, but Greek officials dispute that. At this point, very little else is known for certain. Could it have been terrorism? Maybe! Will we find out for sure when officials actually have something to report? Absolutely!
But Fox News dickweasel Stuart Varney is SO excited, because he just KNOWS it was terrorism, and who wins when terrorism kills people dead? Donald Trump, of course!

And that's how Trump was this morning. Eager to tweet and be all-knowing and preparing for an I-told-you-so. He always has to be first. I was actually shocked when he didn't tweet last night when the disappeared plane was first reported.
DeleteI SO do not give a crap about anything Bill Clinton did sexually. He was an excellent president. Years ago i had a conversation with someone who was clutching her pearls about the 'ses"scandal, and I told her " not only would I have gone down on the leader of the free world, I would have given his vice president a hand job and none of it would have harmed America in anyway". We stopped meeting for coffee on Tuesdays after that. I haven't seen her in years. YAY!
ReplyDeleteLove, From Georgia
I am available on Tuesdays. Please send a picture first though. No fatties.
DeleteLMAO 2:33 PM
DeleteYum, Al Gore. But I couldn't hurt Tipper. I know she caught a lot of flack for wanting warnings placed on CD's, but she was pretty cool. Her website with her photography on it is amazing, by the way.
DeleteNo tweekers,no freaks. Available only on days ending in y.
DeleteHow cool funny you are.
DeleteIf Isis is powerful enough and they must be, they could bring down this country by helping get Trump elected just by downing another plane or some other act of terrorism. A conspiracy theory being bandied about is that we are funding groups like Isis, Taliban, and Al Quaeda to in fact create war to make money for the military industrial complex.
ReplyDeleteI think so too as usa manufactures war weapons for the world.
DeleteTrump is a master at getting out in front (projecting) of his own problems. By saying Bill Clinton "raped", the rape allegations against him may be softened in his mind.
ReplyDeleteWhy do Bill's indiscretions have anything whatsoever to do with Hillary's campaign, or how she--she herself, I realize this is impossible for RWNJs to understand--might perform as president??
ReplyDeleteAt this point, if The Donald wants to take it there, let's get a record of all his indiscretions.
And then, let's start in on Ivana, Marla, and Melania.
Since spouses seem to be fair game with The Donald, let's go for it, why not?
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
His three spouses aren't just victims, either. They are manipulators and Ivana and Melania, especially Melania but Ivana now saying she wasn't raped is horrible, liars.
DeleteBut my main beef is with equating Clinton and Trump. He had several affairs, true (I don't believe the rape story), but I don't see him as a misogynist using women as part of his hunger for control and power but as someone who acted as he did for other reasons, more typical reasons. Trump has used or tried to use dozens of women and he has gotten off on parading them publicly so that everyone thinks of him as virile and able to have any woman he wants. He has used women to create a public impression. He has also humiliated them in public and often talked about them as objects. He has a record of "dating" people one after another for very short lengths of time--he must have slept with many, many women.
And why? No way do I buy because he was simply attracted to them and wanted a sexual relationship. Trump is one of those men who just doesn't get how behind the times he is. He's stuck in another era. He doesn't get that when he says he loves women and cherishes them, they know what that really means. And he's now out to, as president, take more of their own control over their lives away.
Clinton is not guilty of these things.
Why isn't sauce for the goose being applied to the gander? Trump cheated on at least two women, his first two wives while Hillary and Bill have remained married all these years. Many couples ride out some rough times, but they stick together. Trump dumps the older model for the younger prettier version. Melania had better not show any fat or wrinkles or she will be toast, too.
DeleteWhy would Melania care, 3:48, as long as she has access to all of Trumps cash? Ivanna signed a non-disclosure clause in her divorce papers so she can not comment on why she never retracted the spousal rape deposition against Trump. She's just happy to be kept rolling in the dough and doesn't want to do anything to upset ole' Trumpy.
Delete3:37 The rape 'story' you don't believe came directly from a deposition Ivana originally gave in her divorce petition. She even mentioned that it was the first time in over a year that he had sex with her. The fact that he was also in a rage about his failed scalp surgery spells spousal rape to me.
DeleteShe later softened, $$$$, the story a bit by changing what she called it but did not retract the facts she had related in her earlier testimony.
Agree with the rest of your fine comment.
I can't imagine that trump will fool many or any women about the difference between himself and Bill Clinton. And I can't imagine many women are going to blame Hillary for Bill's infidelities. I'm sure trump thinks this is a fantastic strategy, but he has no clue how transparent and false it is to women.
DeleteIf Trump wins, I think the US is as doomed as doomed can be. It will be a hellish nightmare of ignorance and war.
ReplyDeleteYes. We can only hope it all dawns on the Rethug electorate, and even they will see the importance of stopping him.
DeleteHoping they open their eyes!
DeleteAt this point, I'm (guiltily) kind of even hoping Trump is elected, and then all the hateful ignoramuses who loved him so much can get to bear the brunt of his asinine presidential actions.
DeleteOn second thought, though, they'd probably just blame everything on Obama. Or maybe Bill Clinton.
She is right.
ReplyDeleteI laughed today when I started seeing comments pop up about Trump's money. The man is a disaster but his misogyny, racism, stupidity and lack of control means nothing to the people supporting him. But what would be truly embarrassing for him is if his "great wealth" was really bank loans he is using to pay off his everyday living expenses.
I suppose showing your returns would be completely humiliating if you were living that way.
Well tRump raped his xwife so they are even. Hilary said she not going to respond to those alligations but I think Bill Clinton should sue tRump for deflimation.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many current voters are aware of all of that stuff that's nearly 20 years old. It may just go over their heads, as he said, she said.
ReplyDeleteBill Clinton today looks frail and weak, and not like a sexual predator. Anyone 40 or younger won't make the connection that Trump's throwing out. A lot of older voters will just file it away as some nasty episode they'd rather not think about. But Hillary has to stop using Bill as her co-president, and make her case for herself. We're not giving her husband a third term.
I'd give Bill or Barack a third term. America thrives when we have a Democrat in the WH.
DeleteTake a look at both guys. Which one would YOU rather be "groped" by? Bill is sTILL sexier than tRump, even with his health problems. If tRump was an ordinary man, none of those 3 wives would have looked at him twice. Ivana looks like HELL lately, she looks like an old barfly. Too much plastic surgery. Maples can not stop smiling, from too much Botox. Maleria, well she claims she is beautiful, but those mean slits of eyes are not even attractive.
ReplyDeletePersonally, you would have to PAY me a lot, long-term, to have sex with Donald Trump.
DeleteOh wait....I wonder if his three wives had the same thought?
How could so many Americans not understand how the roots of fascism took hold in Germany after World War I? Our education system is broken if the recent past is so easily forgotten.
ReplyDeleteAdd reality TV to that and here we are.
DeleteTo be fair, it isn't THAT recent. I'm 63, and wasn't even born then.
DeleteLove that 2:03 would give a blow job and hand job to the POTUS and the VPOTUS. What a patriot!
ReplyDeleteNothing Bristol wouldn't do, and she learned at the knee.
DeleteHow is it not wrong for a presidential candidate to speak at a fundraiser to pay off half a million dollars of Bridgegate debts?! Trump is saying, through his actions, that Bridgegate was no big deal. There was nothing wrong about what happened there. Disgusting.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, we're voting for candidates, not their spouse(s). Trumps got one hell of a rash bringing up Bill's indiscretions, when, if it weren't for his own indiscretions, he'd be single right not. This is why he goes to the former czech republic for most of his wives. He gets someone to beat on and they get a green card.
ReplyDeleteI believe Ivana was raped by this jackass, what I don't understand is why is she walking it back and pussyfooting around it now?
The Clintons decided divorce wasn't for them, they worked hard to make their marriage work (there are no perfect marriages), and why is it Trump's place to call Hillary an "enabler"? Does he have proof that will stand in court?
I just can't picture Bill taking Hillary aside and saying "I'm going to cheat on you, is that ok by you?" and Hillary saying "Yeah, go for it, have fun". Anyone remember anything like that come from the Starr Report we all paid for? And does Don know what GWB did with the billions in surplus Bill left?
Gee, I wonder if Melania will stay with Trump now that she knows he cheated on Ivana with Marla Maples?
Why Ivana is trying to do a "walk back" of the rape charge? It's all about the Benjamins.
DeleteWait, we ALL know he cheated on Ivana AND on Marla. The man can't keep his pants zipped and is proud of it. And he's as homely as it gets...all he has going for him is his wallet, or what he says is in his wallet. Anyone who marries for money is a fool. Trump is not a nice person, and never has been. Same with Mittens. His schoolboy antics were laughed off, but beating up a boy because he 'looks gay,' is despicable, and for the son of a Governor to do it and get away with it is pitiful. Trump is also pitiful. Ignorant, a bully, and a man who hates everyone but himself. Really, GOP, THIS is who you want running the country? Do you hate America that much?
DeleteIf there was ANY evidence whatsoever that Bill Clinton raped anyone, the GOP would have been wetting themselves in excitement and plastering it all over the media 24/7.
ReplyDeleteWhile having an affair is never an admirable behavior, there is a big difference between the candidate doing so and the SPOUSE of a candidate doing so. In addition, Bill may have been unable or unwilling to control his sexual urges, but I have never heard him demean and objectify women the way Trump does almost constantly.
When I hear a self proclaimed Bernie supporter state they would never vote for Hillary I know they are very naive or(perhaps more likely) someone on the right. At the very least, you can't be a democrat or a progressive and vote for Trump.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm worried too but one thing I keep thinking at the back of my mind. Trump looks to me like a heart attack could do him in any time soon.
ReplyDeletePardon me if I'm rooting for it.
DeleteHmm, wonder what took her so long to speak up? I call shenanigans...
ReplyDeleteTrump fucks around on his wives and lusts after his daughter's body. So we are supposed to listen to Trump?
ReplyDeleteI think the Hillary proved many times she is her own person. Bill who? Kidding he was a decent president.
