as if that will work? Police don't care. If you do something illegal, they don't care who else does.

put out a story that there are tapes out there. Some are legit and some are forgeries. The GOP minimizing rape and molestation of kids and "fake tapes" are nothing more than prepping the voters for trump's tapes when they come out.

With your post.

I have no doubt that the scandals are real, but I also believe they will be used as propaganda by Trumps defenders when the time comes.

And it's not that I have any problem with these abusive behaviors being called out. As a woman, I say it's about time and that women should have a chance to speak out and expose their abusers. But the on-going revelations in these kinds of numbers, the daily revelations is more than a little weird.

Something wicked this way comes. Strap in, turbulence ahead.
