Writer claims Trump raped her

[Shad]

True. OTOH, accusations were all the Republicans needed when going after Clinton for exactly the same accusatoins. The real irony? Trump brought the women Clinton harassed and/or raped to a debate with Hillary.

Yup dirty politics. Later on those people drop from the spotlight when they can not longer be used against a person.

....Trump called Broaddrick “courageous,” and if Broaddrick was courageous, then certainly Carroll is as well. For Carroll’s story is at least as compelling as Broaddrick’s — if not more so.

And that is because Carroll’s claim, for a number of reasons, actually rests upon a significantly stronger foundation than Broaddrick’s.

For one thing, before she went public with her story, Broaddrick had repeatedly denied that Clinton had assaulted her, even under oath: In an affidavit she had submitted in Paula Jones’s sexual harassment case against Clinton, Broaddrick had sworn that the allegations “that Mr. Clinton had made unwelcome sexual advances toward me in the late seventies … are untrue,” that the press had previously sought “corroboration of these tales,” but that she had “repeatedly denied the allegations.” (Disclosure: I provided behind-the-scenes pro bono legal assistance to Jones’s lawyers.)

For another, Carroll’s account is supported by the sheer number of claims that have now surfaced against Trump — claims in which women have accused Trump of engaging in unwelcome or forcible sexual conduct or assault against them. These claims — all denied by the president — far outnumber the publicized sexual misconduct incidents that involved Clinton, which mostly concerned rumors or allegations of consensual affairs.

And as if to bring things full circle, Carroll’s account is also of course supported by Trump’s depraved remarks on the “Access Hollywood” video, of which there was simply no equivalent in Broaddrick’s case. Whatever else he may have done, Clinton never made a video like that. What Trump described on the video is exactly what Carroll says he did to her.

Same stink, different pile. Same ignorance of the law and jumps in logic. Toss in Carrol has a book to sell hence why the accusation was made

A huge difference is, some get caught, some don't". I would think if everything would come to light, over half our government would be behind bars.

Caught and punished. These days people (politicians) are caught but get to resign or move out of a public position to some other office.

In the end, 31 Democrats abandoned their party's president and supported the GOP proposal for an investigation of Clinton without limits on its length or scope
​

I would not have voted for "an investigation of Clinton without limits on its length or scope".



0 Republicans have spoken out against anything Trump has done.

Do not confuse the vote to investigate with the trial vote.

Not rape, but there is a tape from the Howard Stern Show where Trump talked about walking backstage into the Miss Teen USA changing room and checking out all the teenage girls while they were half undressed. That story is corroborated by several girls, including Miss Arizona.

A Timeline of Donald Trump's Creepiness While He Owned Miss Universe

It has already been established that Trump is a man. He's quite capable of being crude in his language and to take advantage of his position to the extent of watching Miss Teen USA contestants 'half undressed.'

generally man like.

But the accusation is of rape. Clear, unmistakable rape.

And the only tape we have, proving as it does that he IS capable of crude and insulting language, is also clear proof that rape isn't a line he will cross.

I did and will always vote for the Democrat over the Republican.

Which explains why your party has become what it is.

Then you are probably OK with the decision to drop out of the Paris Accord; the decision to roll back EPA safeguards; the Supreme Court nominations.

No. Why do you make such assumptions about people simply because they've disagreed with you?

I do believe in "innocent unless proven guilty", but since over 15 women now have stated that they were sexually assaulted by him, along with what Trump said on the Access Hollywood tape, I think there's at least a good likelihood of sexual assault, although maybe not as far as rape.

 

[Road Warrior]

Please let's agree to disagree what constitutes rape.

Imo, if there weren't either any DNA evidence left in her from somebody else and if she weren't bleeding profusely out of her you know what, then she didn't get raped.

$20 says you'd feel differently if it was you or someone you loved.

 

[Road Warrior]

She states herself Trump never fully penetrated her. So maybe, she changed her mind and Trump respected her wish.

Suuuure. Maybe Juanita Broaddrick really wanted to have sex but was too shy to say yes when Bill Clinton raped her.

Me too which is why Trump isn't being publicly castrated and thrown over his own wall.

Thanks for agreeing the Republicans are hypocrites.

Which, in your humble opinion is what?

Understood. I could not vote for either deplorable and, after literally decades of voting for the lesser of two evils, voted 3rd party. It's one reason why neither deplorable received over 49% of the vote.

Then you are probably OK with the decision to drop out of the Paris Accord; the decision to roll back EPA safeguards; the Supreme Court nominations.

No. Why do you make such assumptions about people simply because they've disagreed with you?

People who vote for a third party are OK with whatever happens. Therefore my comment was not an assumption. It has nothing to do with agreeing or disagreeing with me.

Had Hillary won, I could have said: I guess you are OK with Hillary's Supreme Court Nominations. Two years following Bush's election, if you said you had voted for Nader, I could have said: I guess you're OK with the invasion of Iraq.

As eccentric and extreme as the Republican party.

I don’t think that has been established at all. I think we have seen very clear evidence that what he just an overgrown infant.

Real men do not behave the way Donald Trump behaves.

There is indeed a huge difference between being a bit too domineering and rape.
