Quote: Tanko

People getting what they voted for. So far, so good.

First, raise their cost of living 20%, then pull the rug out from under them.

'70% of Americans are feeling financially stressed'

'Americans have taken a pay cut every month since Biden took office'

'Millions of Americans are at risk of losing their Medicaid coverage in coming months'

'Food stamp benefits cut for more than 30 million low-income Americans'

'Mayor Eric Adams says Biden’s migrant crisis has ‘destroyed’ NYC'

l

Republicans have no plans to fix any of these problems, and they would obviously make the food stamp and Medicaid situation way worse because they hate those programs.

Come to think of it, I haven’t looked at what McCarthy wants Biden to agree to on the budget. Ie raising the debt limit.

Trump is currently on trial for rape.

Uh.....nope.

Lol
Blame it on the voters is such a cop out
How about the Republicans act like they want to govern instead of Gym Jordan committee just looking to blame Dems for everything
I think abortion is going to turn the Republican party into a smaller regional party. Instead of trying to attract voters, they insist on laws the clear majority are against.
If the party went back to its fiscal conservative roots instead of all the religious BS, they have a chance of getting my vote.

Uh.....nope.

Uh…. Yep.

At first, she thought helping Donald Trump shop for a women's lingerie gift at a luxury department store would simply be “a funny New York thing.”

OK then. Was she a friend of Trump? Or did Trump just 'pick her up'

Quote:

Even when, according to E. Jean Carroll, the then-businessman motioned her to a dressing room as they

... wait for it ...

Quote:

dared each other to try on a see-through bodysuit,

oh, really?

Quote:

... she imagined something like a “Saturday Night Live” sketch she'd written.

An SNL writer chumming it up with Donald Trump, eh?

Quote:

But soon,

hold on, I'm trying to put myself in her shoes, um, make that her see-through body suit.

Quote:

... “my whole reason for being alive in that moment was to get out of that room,” Carroll testified

So you really went into a dressing room with Donald Trump. Really? With some lingerie. And it didn't go well. I think something did happen, yes, but if you didn't really want to have some sort of sexual adventure ... OK perhaps you were thinking something short of copulation, that's possible ... well, if claiming that, let's just say I don't believe you. Or maybe none of this actually happened, except that Trump and you were there.

When I was coming up we had a term for a woman like this. If I was on the jury, and believed the two of them went together into a dressing room checking out lingerie, yet nothing was supposed to happen ... Well I'll put into a spoiler tag

NOT SAFE FOR WORK

I would convict her of being a dick teaser

Sure sounds like odious is defending rape!

“She was asking for it” is never an excuse.

Sick.

No DNA, no witnesses, no police report, no medical report, and 20 or so years elapsed.

Plus, NY passed a law to extend the statute of limitations for the case to qualify.

Then to top it off, her bank roller (Reid) is using her to try to convict a USA President that's running for USA President.


Obviously, it's politically motivated.

So it likely comes down to her credibility.


What I've read is I sense she's unstable, anti-men, emotional, dramatic, etc.

So I say, not guilty.

That I was asking for this kind of response is why you will not hear this as a defense

Not that I don't believe ams isn't actually agreeing with me. Like a lawyer, he knows the 'correct' response. Now, if Trump actually penetrated her against her objections, I'm not defending that. We don't know if that happened, though. We do know she is a **** ****** [see above under spoiler] or the whole thing is just made up, a real possibility. Went into a dressing room to try on lingerie? All innocently? Really?

No, **** ****** won't be the real defense .

Sounds like you really need to stop focusing so much on children’s genitals and start learning up on consent.
