"Maybe it's reasonable for him to wonder..." What is that referring to. Trump wondering if anyone gives a shit how sleazy he is?

(7,867 posts)I have used one or two on another message board, so I notice that they all seem to be hosted on the same site, so I was wondering if you make them yourself?

(7,867 posts)A lot of them seem to be at pbs.twimg.com so I thought maybe that that was some sort of site where you could generate your own screenshots of quotes or something

If you have photoshop, you can paste many shots quickly. Just keep it in layers and you can access the layers whenever. I do that for my Pete's Pond screenshots.

(7,867 posts)I guess I know how to take screenshots, well, in a way: I usually just use the snipping tool in Windows. I know how to save them as well, but I don't really know of how to upload them to be able to post them on the internet. I'm sure there are plenty of free sites, but I just haven't ever delved very deeply into it. But I saw that same pbs site popping up on a lot of these screenshots, so I was wondering if they had some sort of function to snip news stories and post them as pictures or something

(17,199 posts)Too many of Trump's surrogates and supporters are calling it "locker room" talk. They need to be called on it.
It's sexual assault.

(17,199 posts)Those who are still loyal to Trump are reaching ever further in a sad and sorry attempt to explain away his bragging about sexually harassing and assaulting Nancy ODell back in 2005.
First up is Sean Hannity, whos so far up Trumps ass its hard to tell where he ends and Trump begins. Hell say anything as long as it keeps him Trumps good graces, even to the point where it causes problems with his colleagues at Fox News. But he really went too far in excusing Trumps behavior: "King David had five hundred concubines for crying out loud."
Wow. King David had 500 concubines so its okay for a man whos trying to appeal to Christianswho abhor adultery supposedlyto screw around. Except it wasnt screwing around. That implies it was mutual. Clearly, Hannity is laboring under the delusion that all the outcry is because Trump cheated on Melania. Trying to rape a woman is not just cheating. Hannitys response is actually worse than Ben Carsons response, where his spokesperson ended his statement by saying the flesh is weak.

(865 posts)Saw your name in responses and thought "malaise, you're back, okay after hurricane!".
Then I remembered the horrible and solemn topic here; and you're right, it is rape culture.
So, it's great you're okay. Hope all DUers in or near storm's path are okay. My heart breaks for those who aren't.
And my heart breaks for those assaulted by members of the rape culture.
Gosh, I dont think there is anything left to say.

And fugg all those who think rape culture is OK.

(22,165 posts)It may be locker room talk if what is meant by "locker room talk" is admitting to sexually assaulting women on numerous occasions

(17,199 posts)1. It was locker room talk.
2. We are not electing a Sunday school teacher.
I've been hearing the above all day from surrogates on CNN and MSNBC

Bill Clinton was impeached for his behaviour.
So Trump...errr...
AllyCat
(16,189 posts)They all change the subject. WJC is not running for office. WJC was IMPEACHED for what he did with a CONSENTING adult. Whatever WJC did or didn't do does not excuse Trump's deplorable and illegal behavior.

She should not shake his hand, she should stay away from him, like
