Trump recorded having extremely lewd conversation about women in 2005

Source: Washington Post

Donald Trump bragged in vulgar terms about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women during a 2005 conversation caught on a hot microphone — saying that “when you’re a star, they let you do it” — according to a video obtained by The Washington Post.

The video captures Trump talking with Billy Bush of “Access Hollywood” on a bus with Access Hollywood written across the side. They were arriving on the set of “Days of Our Lives” to tape a segment about Trump’s upcoming cameo on the soap opera.

The tape obtained by the Post includes audio of Bush and Trump’s conversation inside the bus, as well as audio and video once they emerge from it to begin shooting the segment.

“And when you’re a star they let you do it,” Trump says. “You can do anything.” “Whatever you want,” says another voice, apparently Bush’s. “Grab them by the p---y,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”

There is another related story about Trump's subsequent "apology," but that is a separate newsworthy story unto itself, being the first "apology" for anything by Trump in this campaign.

But your concern is duly noted. God Forbid we should pile on the poor Donald.

There are 2 others and they have been locked. I hate Trump. I also dislike when people won't spend a few minutes perusing LBN to see if the topic has already been posted, It's just laziness, and clogs up the board.

while the OP in this thread is stamped 3:19 PM (again CT because I'm in the central time zone). Also, before those two were locked, I distinctly remember this OP being the bottom-most of the three on the Home page, meaning the earliest one. The hosts are correct in locking the ones they locked, leaving this one.

Or if you arrange LBN chronologically -- by clicking on the "Start time header"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1014&sort=time

you will see this (I deleted the last 3 columns -- "Last reply", "Recs", and "Views" )

Before they were locked, one could see all 3 posts -- on both the home page and in LBN.

After the two were locked, all three are all visible on the only LBN page I know of:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1014

or its sorted-by-start-time version:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1014&sort=time

but of course not on DU's home page.

Since I first logged onto DU tonight AFTER those duplicate posts were locked, they did not appear in the LBN page when I pulled it up:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1014

and here's how the front page looks for me:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/index.php

Not sure if those links will look the same to you on your device. If you don't believe me I can post screen grabs if it is that important to you.

That is just how the site works. I don't know if it is because once you viewed a post, it creates a cached memory of it in your device or what, but that is just the way it works. I and everyone who logs on after a post is locked simply will not see it, but folks who viewed it before locking will see it.

But hey, don't let those facts stop you from insulting the OP or me, like your buddy MicaelS.

as for what appears on the LBN page --

[font color = blue]>>Since I first logged onto DU tonight AFTER those duplicate posts were locked, they did not appear in the LBN page when I pulled it up:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1014 <<[/font]

Well I see all 3 posts on the LBN page above -- the 2 later ones with little "locked icons" in the beginning. Maybe I have some settings that are different, but the way my settings are, I can see locked posts in forum threads listings pages like the above.

And it has nothing to do with my computer memory caching -- I can see locked posts in forum thread listings like the LBN page link above months and years later. All with the little locked icon symbol in front.

[font color = blue]>>But hey, don't let those facts stop you from insulting the OP <<[/font]

I wasn't and never did insult the OP. The OP (onehandle) was the first to post the story, and deservedly his/her post survives unlocked and shows up on the Home page. I have never said anything different.

[font color = blue]>>or me, like your buddy MicaelS <<[/font]

I don't think I insulted you, certainly that wasn't my intent. I was just trying to explain what I'm seeing ....

As for "my buddy MicaelS", I was disagreeing with him in my #15, and when he agreed that he was wrong in #16 (that he had misread the time stamp on the onehandle OP - see #14 which includes a later edit about the time stamps), I thanked him.

on your screen, or "the way the site works". I'm just telling you that *I* see locked posts on the LBN page ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1014 ). Including posts that I have never clicked on. LBN is full of locked posts that I never clicked on (as are many other forums), yet I can see them. Hours, days, months and years later.

I have no idea what you see and never presumed otherwise.

I can see and not see. I am here and you are not. I can see them now and they have a locked icon on each thread. And others can see them, too.

I am on an Android phone. I do not know what you are viewing them on. Maybe the problem is on YOUR end.

and notes it sounds exactly like what he says he does.

Jill Harth, woman who sued Trump over alleged sexual assault, breaks silence

Harth stands by claims of incident described in 1997 lawsuit as ‘attempted rape’ and wants apology from Donald Trump: ‘Don’t call me a liar’

...
In an hour-long interview at the Guardian’s New York office on Tuesday, Harth said she stands by her charges against Trump, which run from low-grade sexual harassment to an episode her lawyers described in the lawsuit as “attempted ‘rape’”.
...
There was the initial leering in that first December meeting in Trump Tower, and the inappropriate questions after her relationship status. It continued the next night over dinner at the Plaza Hotel’s Oak Room, where at a dinner with beauty pageant contestants she alleges he groped her under the table.
...
After business concluded, Harth and Houraney were on tour of Mar-a-Lago along with a group of young pageant contestants – Trump wanted to “see the quality of the girls he was sponsoring”, Harth recalled – when he pulled her aside into one of the children’s bedrooms.

“He pushed me up against the wall, and had his hands all over me and tried to get up my dress again,” Harth said, “and I had to physically say: ‘What are you doing? Stop it.’ It was a shocking thing to have him do this because he knew I was with George, he knew they were in the next room. And how could he be doing this when I’m there for business?”
