"discourse with gutter attacks on women and the disabled, immigrants and minorities."

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

The preceding sentence in the article: "I apologize," he added, "if anyone was offended."

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

right of F12. Then you paste it into Paint.

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.

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

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.

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 O’Dell back in 2005.

First up is Sean Hannity, who’s so far up Trump’s ass it’s hard to tell where he ends and Trump begins. He’ll say anything as long as it keeps him Trump’s good graces, even to the point where it causes problems with his colleagues at Fox News. But he really went too far in excusing Trump’s behavior: "King David had five hundred concubines for crying out loud."

Wow. King David had 500 concubines so it’s okay for a man who’s trying to appeal to Christians–who abhor adultery supposedly–to screw around. Except it wasn’t “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.” Hannity’s response is actually worse than Ben Carson’s response, where his spokesperson ended his statement by saying “the flesh is weak.”

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.

Jamaica escaped with minor road damage - Haiti, the Bahamas, and the US weren't so lucky.

And fugg all those who think rape culture is OK.

It may be locker room talk if what is meant by "locker room talk" is admitting to sexually assaulting women on numerous occasions

Trump compares his behaviour to Bill Clinton.

Bill Clinton was impeached for his behaviour.

So Trump...errr...

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
he's toxic poison to the touch.
