Trumps Child Rape Victim Just Canceled Press Conference Over Death Threatsby Colin Taylor
November 2, 2016
The woman accusing Trump of raping her when she was just thirteen years old at one of convicted pedophile Jeffery Epsteins notorious underage sex parties was all set to come forward tonight to tell her story but backed out at the last moment, saying that she had received threats and feared for her life.
The pressures that face the female accusers of powerful white men couldnt be more clear right now. One of Trumps sexual assault accusers has already fled the country due to threats from his rabid supporters.We feel the backlash of the Trump supporters. It scares us. It intimidates us. We are in fear of our lives, said Mindy McGillivray, who said Trump groped her at a party. I look out the window and there are cars just driving around the house and looking, slowing down right at the house. I dont live in a gated community. This is dangerous. There could be people out there who want to hurt us.
The pressure to stay silent comes just as strong from the Trump camp itself just look at how Michael Cohen, special counsel for the Trump Organization, responded to Daily Beast when they called asking for comment on a story about how Trump raped then-wife Ivana Trump in a painful and brutal fashion:
I will make sure that you and I meet one day while were in the courthouse. And I will take you for every penny you still dont have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know. So Im warning you, tread very fucking lightly, because what Im going to do to you is going to be fucking disgusting. You understand me?
You write a story that has Mr. Trumps name in it, with the word rape, and Im going to mess your life up for as long as youre on this frickin planet youre going to have judgments against you, so much money, youll never know how to get out from underneath it.

He and his family are in hiding and fear for their lives now, way to go Trump supporters THIS is the world you want.

(65,616 posts)I just hope they stay calm and rational after Trump loses in a landslide. They seem to lack the ability to control their impulse behavior, no control at all just out there and harmful to everyone.

(841 posts)That is why Trump talking about rigged elections is so incredibly irresponsible. He knows that many of his followers are unhinged and some will probably engage in violence if he loses.

I really do wonder WTF if going on here, with global stability being thrown in the mix too.

You have an obligation now to undo this mess YOU created and tell the American people the truth about Donald J. Trump.
As in, BREAKING NEWS: DONALD J. TRUMP IS UNFIT TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

(63,221 posts)These people are out there and they aren't going away when this election is over.
I think I am going to take a vacation day the day after the election. No matter what happens, I have a feeling it's going to be a shitshow. If Trump wins, it will only embolden the deplorables. If Hillary wins they will revolt. I wish these people didn't exist, but they do and in greater numbers than we thought.
napkinz
(17,199 posts)They REALLY believe what Trump is telling them, that Hillary is about to be indicted, and that she is going to lose the election.
They are delusional and riled up ... and they are on such a high right now.
They are going to crash BIGLY when Hillary wins next Tuesday. And some may lash out.

(17,199 posts)You can find some authoritarian, semi-fascist tinges in Southern politics during the segregationist era. But theres never been anything like this, and nothing on this scale. I am a Holocaust survivor and this made me quiver. What scares me is hes broken all these taboos and its helped him. That frightens me. It frightens me that there are all these things that weve worked so hard on, but one after another he breaks these taboos and the people applaud him and come back for more.

None of these threats are to be taken lightly, and should be investigated and, if necessary, prosecuted to the maximum extent allowed by law.

Desperation. They know this story will DESTROY Trump and they are doing everything to make sure it never sees the light of day. They have to stop this woman from coming forward publicly. And they will do ANYTHING to stop her.

Also bringing up Stormfront, their sacred home, can get you an instant hide. They are cowardly little punks, just like their idol Trump.
