In reply to the discussion: Shit's about to get real: there is video of Trump groping a minor [View all]TwilightZone
(28,836 posts)103. This is a non-story elsewhere so far.
DU is a bit of a niche website. We're also really easily distracted and tend to blow things out of proportion or give them an undue amount of attention, as in this case. Lots of people want to believe it's true and ignore all the signs that it probably isn't, including the fact that the only source has no evidence and seems a bit shady.
In the real world, this is currently a non-event. Unless a legitimate source picks it up and actual evidence is provided, the story is going nowhere and hardly anyone will ever even know it was a thing. It's not taking away from the generals story (which is actually at least two years old, but being presented as new) or anything else at the moment.

I think we should be more concerned about an adult sxually assaulting a child than whether he might lose a few votes.

I don't think we should be focusing on or pushing this "story". We have bigger fish to fry, and this is a distraction.

Absolutely not, and if there is a video or other evidence it will get a lot of attention. Until then Repub psyop.

If a minor was molested by that monster, law enforcement should handle it and protect the minor.

There could be a video of Trump shooting her on 5th Avenue and he wouldn't lose any supporters. The cult is nuts.

He's riding around on Epstein's plane now, with Trump written all over it.

I still think this is Halperin trying to be relevant again, like his hey day of 2016.
