(102,253 posts)this is what he now says he will do (and show the video clip). Then underscore the 1% tax cut and show the graphic of where the national debt has landed since Obama left and now because of the wealthy tax cut that he now wants YOU to bear. It needs to run multiple times throughout the day on Fox and all the networks, especially in all the battleground states.

Even worse, I could not stand the emcee, whose name I don't remember. He was alwsys demanding a kiss from female contestants and pressuring reluctant ones to give in. Gave me the creeps. I'd never let a child be alone with him.

(21,447 posts)contestant explanation does not account for his pushy insistence with reluctant women. The only thing making them nervous was Dawson himself. Or Paws-son.

(21,447 posts)But "me too" did not come out of nowhere. It came from women of all ages, places, and backgrounds who had held things in until society was able to listen. Many of us had been in or witnessed uncomfortable situations that, in the past, we were expected to laugh off and go along with in order to not "make waves." if you did make waves, there was retaliation.
Women felt uncomfortable, and worse, depending on experiences, but the attitude then was, "We don't talk about such things."
Look at how some people today still claim that women who make accusations are just looking for attention, or seeking money, or just want to destroy someone they don't like. Consider Dr Ford and the Kavanaugh hearing. Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill.
But, just because women were often silent for self-protection, does not mean we did not recognize people whose behavior made us uncomfortable. In fact, it was wise to recognize them in order to avoid them.

(6,448 posts)Even today, there are those who think sexual abuse/rape is a sexual crime. It's all really about power and victimization of someone deemed as a "lesser". Not only against women, but when children are abused as well.
It seems there are two types of abusers here. Ones who already have power and status (Weinstein/Trump) and want to keep it that way--and ones with low self-esteem who want to gain power over an individual (a typical rapist).
There's no love, no kissing or romance--only the violent act and humiliation.

(56,828 posts)Joni Ernst (or Thom Tillis, or Cory Gardner or Moscow Mitch, etc) says that they will protect both, but she (or he) voted with Trump 95% of the time. Do you really think she (he) will side with you or with Trump?

Besides, can he succeed in SS cuts without the approval of Congress? The Dem House would never vote for it.

I hope all of the idiot seniors who support this moron are aware of his plans, as they think about how they will vote in November. Of course, GOPee has been harming seniors for decades and yet still get their votes, so I'm not optimistic.
