stunning that a story this HUGE doesn't even make it to Friday. We're so numb to the toxic corruption in the Trump cesspool that everybody shrugs that it's now close to 70 different allegations of unwanted sexual contact/rape/assault from Trump.
43 more allegations of unwanted sexual contact against Trump - documented and credible.

(19,201 posts)who actually want to be groped by the disgusting hog. One wonders what happened to these women earlier in their lives to make them this way.
FakeNoose
(32,645 posts)... by Michael Wolff is familiar with the author's quotes from Steve Bannon on this subject.
In the last weeks of the 2016 campaign - before the election - Bannon says that at least 100 women were paid off and forced to sign NDAs. Of course we know that quite a few (more than 20 women) refused to sign NDAs and they have brought charges against Chump. So Bannon was talking about 100 additional women besides them. It's probably a slight exaggeration, but not much of one.
Stormy Daniels wasn't mentioned by name, but the book came out just as her lawsuit hit the street. In addition to Stormy Daniels, there may be 99 women who were assaulted by Chump and took the money from Cohen or another lawyer in order to keep quiet.

Snake Plissken
(4,103 posts)And relentlessly attacking Hillary Clinton on a daily basis/
There has been a trail of human carnage in Trump's wake for over 40 years.
From women being sexually assaulted and raped, to people losing their life's saving through a fraudulent university scam he created, yet the media doesn't care because Trump's freakshow makes them money, his dysfunctional drama brings in the ratings.
It's to the point were Trump in the only politician in Washington who has undocumented workers on the payrolls of his businesses but the media attacks Democrats who want to protect these people from being exploited, or Joe Biden's integrity is being questioned and his family is being attacked for the criminal behavior Trump and his lowlife children are perpetrating.
This disaster could have been prevented if Trump was properly vetted, and of course if 45% of voters didn't stay home on election day.
And lastly, why aren't prosecutors looking to bring Trump to justice for all of these crimes.

MyOwnPeace
(16,928 posts)I can understand and agree with the "media-failed" arguments, and I can give some blame to those that "knew Hillary would win" and didn't bother to go vote,
but,
if the evidence is SO strong, how is it possible that SO MANY have been bought out - and really, why aren't there any, or even ONE prosecutors on the trail of all of these possible charges.
Forget the headline-earning charges from whomever - gimme' headline-earning charges from government authorities/attorneys!

(14,174 posts)But for the love of gawd, its just astounding the difference between the two parties when one has the White House, and when the other does.
Republicans, with the MSM news networks right there with them, pricking their ears for the slightest new update, for phony smear campaigns like Hillary's emails (even after the intelligence community said no security leaks were at risk, and she apologized). Or BENGHAZI!!!, which went on for years. Years!, and we can't keep one negative Republican story on the hotplate for a few days!
I think in part its ironically because Democrats have so few incidents that can even be twisted into a "scandal". That media has too much time on its hands when we have the WH, its too peaceful with a Democrat in charge. Republicans, and especially the master reality star shit disturber, knows how to keep em on their toes with daily new outrages that take yesterdays off the front page. What this results in is no one scandal ever gets described properly by the news anchors, nor digested by the public at all.
And everyday the paper boy brings more

(56,828 posts)AOC's haircut has been the BIG scandal this week.
versus the GOP side of:
treasonous betrayal of our allies,
rape & sexual assault,
obstructing Congress
hate filled rally of lies in Minnesota
Twitter fight with Mayor of Minneapolis
Pompeo obstructing Congress
McConnell not allowing votes or debates on 400 or so House passed bills
US sending troops to Saudi Arabia at the Saudi's request
Ross had unrevealed connections with Russian mobsters
and probably a bunch I'm missing

He is the one to bring Christianity back to America.

If you weren't offended by 30 then you aren't going to be by 70.

(9,959 posts)... FOX and the others spent time on Matt Lauher - due to Ronan Farrow's book publicity. FOX was especially critical, although NBC acted relatively quickly - not a peep about Trump.

Garrett78
(10,721 posts)...to focus on more than a fraction of Republican wrongdoing.
An oversimplified example: A Republican commits 100 crimes and a Democrat commits 1. The media then spends 50% of its time on each candidate's crime(s). That's their twisted idea of what constitutes fairness or unbiased reporting. It's madness.
