Does this not sound just like Trump's grabbing some p***y story he told B. Bush on the bus?

"And so I sort of get away with things like that.”

****************

Trump: “I’ll go backstage before a show and everyone’s getting dressed and ready and everything else. And you know, no men are anywhere. And I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant. And therefore, I’m inspecting it. You know I’m inspecting it. I want to make sure everything is good.”

Stern: “You’re like a doctor.”

Trump: “Is everyone OK? You know they’re standing there with no clothes. Is everybody OK? And you see these incredible looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that.”

The man should be on a list of sexual predators.

[Coyotl]

1. Donald Lester Trump

[Towlie]

23. or maybe Donald Herbert Trump...

"Herbert the pervert"

(Actually his middle name is John.)

[Coyotl]

26. More surprises ahead, no doubt.

[kacekwl]

58. These are TEENS and many UNDERAGE TEENS.

The police should have been called. This perv has no bounds and should have to register as sex offender.

[anoNY42]

2. Aren't Republicans supposed to be against

boys going into the girl's locker rooms?

[mnhtnbb]

6. It's the hypocrisy and perversion of Republican males

Instill fear about something which isn't a problem (trans women in women's rest rooms) while supporting
the obvious pervert who brags about getting away with something they'd like to do.

[BSdetect]

3. He's a dangerous creepy clown

And sexual assaulter

As a 70 year old he faces rapid physical decline. What could get worse?

A demented predator?

[SHRED]

4. He's the fucking criminal

[SHRED]

5. Why isn't this FrontPage news also?

[whathehell]

7. A polite request from a DU woman..

As a female, I am offended by P word...Could we give it the same treatment we give other offensive words here and decline the full spell out? Despite one broadcaster's saying it, MOST, like Rachel for instance, realize its potential for offense and abbreviate it or find another way to indicate it. I think most DU women would appreciate this.

[Botany]

8. done

thank you

[whathehell]

9. Thank you.

I appreciate it.

[mercuryblues]

11. thank you

[TNNurse]

10. As a woman, I do not mind the use of that word when it references Trump

and the things he says and does. Otherwise, it kind of cleans it up. Just my opinion. Also any woman who supports him should have to hear it as a reminder her of her lack of self-respect.

[whathehell]

17. Then that's fine for you..

but given that we've all heard and seen it here several times, I doubt there's a chance of there being a "misunderstanding" or undermining of it's offense as used by Trump. As for your last point, I doubt that DU is the best place to find and punish Trump supporters.

[TNNurse]

19. I do appreciate your point, it is demeaning

but I am damned determined to not clean up anything he says. As for your last point, I think there are people who sneak on here to troll..so....

[bettyellen]

38. Regarding trolls- you think they have any shame? I disagree with normalizing this bullshit...

Not here. No p*%#+y, no c*%#t because we're lowering the bar way too much as it is.

[angrychair]

13. I respectfully disagree

In the context of a quote or in reference to tRump's comments, I think it's valid.
Covering it up as a different word takes away the seriousness of what trump was saying and doing.
Trump is a sexual predator who has likely committed sexual battery dozens of times. He was ok with calling his own daughter "a piece of ass". This guy is a vile scumbag and he deserves every one of these words being used in the context they were delivered.

[whathehell]

24. What do you disagree with?

The reality of my being offended? Would you 'disagree' with a Black man who claimed.tobe offended by seeing the N word spelled out Do you object to referring to a racial slur as the N- word on the basis that it "covers it up"?

You noted another offensive phrase used by Trump - "piece of ass"- and, as indicated, you rightfully used quote marks to question it's legitimacy....That is the ONLY type of restraint I am requesting - quote marks or some other indicator of it's unacceptable nature. I hardly think that's too much to ask, especially given the willingness to show that respect to other groups.

[Pacifist Patriot]

25. I would agree with that.

[angrychair]

29. I honestly meant no offense

I am not saying you don't have a right to feel that way or that your wrong for feeling that way.
Only expressing my opinion as to why using those words, in the right context and attributed to the speaker, is important.

I apologize if I came across poorly. We are on the same side here

[bettyellen]

39. We are seeing the normalization of a lot of hateful stuff out there- we don't want to be a party to

That. I don't give a damn if anyone thinks it's too PC- it's being respectful to women. We Dems more than anyone should be damned grateful to women voters right now- don't you think?

[whathehell]

45. You do realize

That I wasn't calling for a "ban" on the word, don't you?

I was simply asking people to modify it y using quote marks or abbreviations as we do with terms that demean OTHER groups like gays and people of color. I have no idea why this should be too much to ask...Saying it is means we women aren't entitled to that same concern or respect -- Period.

[Pacifist Patriot]

14. I would agree if it were being used indiscriminately in contexts..

not associated with Trump. When quoting him, I think it's valid. I don't want his words sanitized.

[PassingFair]

20. +1

I find the term horribly offensive, but I've used it when quoting Trump.

I think the phrase "*ussygate" is hilarious and sums up the contempt I feel for that man.

[whathehell]

31. Then let me ask you..

Do you feel the same way about racial.slurs like "nigger"? Is using quote marks or terms like the 'n-word' too "sanitizing" for you? and if not, why not?.... Funny, I've yet to hear a single complaint to that effect.

What you are all missing is the KEY concern, and that is simple RESPECT or the FEELINGS of many, if not most women here...Funny, how that's always given a back seat .

[Pacifist Patriot]

33. Did you miss where I agreed with you above?

I think we're saying the same thing. I, and others, misunderstood your first post as a request the word not be used at all rather than asking quotations marks be used when appropriate.

I'm female so I'm not sure what your final point is.

[whathehell]

42. Sorry, yes, I did miss it..

and I'm glad to see you agree.

As for others missing my point, I guess we all sometimes fail to read entire posts, even though they had the example of the OP, who not only understood immediately, but showed the grace snd sensitivity to comply with the request.

I'm not sure what you mean by my "final point", Pacifist.

[Pacifist Patriot]

46. I think the misunderstanding stems

from using the phrase "decline to spell it out" rather than "restrict its use to quotes." I don't think any of us would have disagreed with that. Your original post made it sound like you wanted even his words to be substituted with euphemisms or asterisks.

I may have misunderstood again, but I am frequently mistaken as male and I thought I was being perceived has not having respect for women's feelings because I felt it perfectly fine to use the word rather than sanitize Trump's speech.

[whathehell]

49. ----

There was no misunderstanding if anyone thought I was suggesting using asterisks..My point was to indicate it as unacceptable using asterisks OR quote marks or any of the other things we do here with offensive terms, I.e. "the "n word". I doubt I can be any clearer than that.

[Pacifist Patriot]

54. Okay then.

[boston bean]

30. I hear you. But I feel differently.

I do not think woman should clean up a persons misogyny. The offense is in the context in which one uses the word.

I have had posts hidden for spelling out the word when the context of the post was my objecting to it. It becomes a weapon misogynists use. Ie she is just as bad for using the word. ummm no!

[whathehell]

35. Do you feel the same about "cleaning up" racial slurs?

by using terms like then "n-word"? I have never seen, nor do I want to see,.that ugly racial slur spelled out, by you or anyone else here..I simply wonder why so little of that consideration is shown to women

Not for the first time, I think how depressing it is to see women unwilling to show the respect for themselves they routinely how to others.

[boston bean]

37. Actually i feel the same.

I do not think black persons should feel compelled to sanitize a bigots language.

Nor do I feel they are disrespectful to themselves for spelling it out.

[whathehell]

43. I think you are missing the point

No one is trying to do bigots any favors, but this is DU which should be a place safe from hurtful slurs NOT signaled as being such.. Concern is for the feelings of the oppressed, not the oppressor.

[boston bean]

44. Well I am a member of the oppressed and my feelings count to. I've explained myself well.

we disagree with one another. no biggie.

And I don't think my feminist creds ought to be called into question here. I am not questioning yours. I understand your points. I wish you could afford me the same.

[whathehell]

47. No need to get all huffy and defensive, bean, lol

I'm glad you think you "explained yourself well"....Nothing like patting yourself on the back. By the way, the word in your subject line should be "too", not "to". Have a good one.

[boston bean]

48. You are so nice. you have a good one "to"! lol

[whathehell]

50. I am, and you know what? I even know how to spell!

.

[boston bean]

51. You keep patting yourself on the back. I will "to"! lol

[whathehell]

52. Oooh....Looks like someone's little ego got hurt

Poor baby.

[boston bean]

53. My ego is doing great. No worries about me, please.

[whathehell]

56. Sure it is..

[boston bean]

57. Wow you just can't let it go. Speaks to......

You have to have the lasr insult. Go for it.

[Tribalceltic]

12. This is a confession of Criminal Behavior

He should be investigated, arrested if the charge can be proven in court. Jail or a secure mental health facility If and when he is convicted.

This is dangerous predatory behavior and should not be tolerated by authorities.

[pnwmom]

15. Yes, it does. And the women felt that way, too. nt

[Thrill]

16. Old dirty ass freak

Disgusting Punk

[Jon King]

18. 538 Nowcast

Trump down to 9% chance of winning.

[Laser102]

21. Same thing is being reported regarding the Miss Teen pageants. Some of these girls were just 15!

[Buzz Clik]

22. How many coaches of women's and girls' sports have been fired and/or arrested for this sort of shit?

Countless.

Damn

[Botany]

34. +1

[underthematrix]

27. Did you all notice that Trump, like the access vid

keeps referring to women as "it" which is the ultimate objectification

[bettyellen]

40. Yes! It killed me when it took two days for reporters to say these remarks happened in the workplace

But I'm the only one I have seen talking about him referring to that woman as "It".

[ffr]

28. Except doctors don't go strolling into women's dressing rooms to inspect the women.

Creepy pervert Donald. I can only imagine what he does to himself after he steps out.

[pointsoflight]

32. He was peeping on underage girls and bragged about it.

And yes, that's illegal.

[Yallow]

36. "Creepy Donald" Is A Pervert

And he should be arrested.

[oasis]

41. He's such a professional. An exceptional role model.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

55. K&R nt

[texanwitch]

59. I wonder if he did not have hidden cameras maybe.

If he would walk into the changing rooms he might.

I have been thinking about it.

Just think about the drop in people staying in his hotels now.
