“Trump’s marvelous new Georgia indictment has some irregular fleas on it. A copy of the indictment was accidentally filed on Monday morning, well before the grand jury had finished deliberating, and then it was quickly withdrawn. Reuters even jumped the gun and ran a story saying Trump had been charged.”
I can almost guarantee not one here is even the least bit curious about this!
Neither party is calling for genital or gender mutilation. One party, however, is calling for better healthcare for all Americans. That is the Democratic Party.
There was a time when such behavior would remove a candidate from running for the job of dog catcher, but that was then. Now, the deplorables consider this to be a matter of no concern.
I will go back and read this through, as I always read what Dan has to say, admiring him so. But I am too angry right now, because trump is a horrible evil person, despicable in fact. Last night I caughtbjustva few minutes of CNN, where this horrible trump said for all to hear, that Yes, he will pardon some of the people who were involved in destroying our Capitol. That was it for me, all I could stomach, right then. Later I watched CNN news, which I do like very much exceot some of my favorite reporters might be leaving again, and they tore trump to pieces, very angry over his disgraceful attitude, lies and not giving a damn about anyone orvanything but himself. And he is still claiming he won the 2020 election, when he should really be in an asylum for mentally ill people. What kind of evil is he, how can he have no conscience, how can he still not feel anything for the injuries sustained by good people and police officers who were badly injured that day and killed too. They lost their lives for a piece of garbage that is trump, a lowlife with no conscience.
And he feels nothing about them. Talk about evil. He was never a real president, just a jerk who fed his ego with that title, most likely elected by people he paid to elect him. He must NEVER be elected again, never. His remark about pardoning monsters who caused Jan. 6th at his direction was met with applause from his sick audience. Turned many stomachs I am sure. If we do not stand together to get rid of garbage like him, and mccarthy and the florida lunatic banning books, we will one day be shocked to not recognize our country anymore. I am not nuts, just very
angry, frustrated and know right from wrong, and all this lunacy is wrong. 🙏🇺🇸🙏
As women friends said yesterday in Manhatten at a birthday lunch , E. Jean Carroll ‘s image needs to be added to those of the Suffragettes . She demonstrated immense courage ! This trial and result will strengthen the resolve of many women to come forward with their stories . Stay tuned and stay steady.
One can only hope. When the “me too” moment occurred there was a resounding roar of women I knew and did not know. I can say when I spoke up... and to another woman 30 plus years ago. I was labeled and dismissed. Years later I heard from another woman the perpetrator was finally caught..... red handed so to speak. If not justice, a wee bit of overdue karma felt stupendous!
So grateful for the brave women who speak up. I have done it at my place of employment....painful. The unbelievable support of the OIG and others got me through it. Just finished the mandatory annual Sexual harassment training for the state of IL...tedious, but a path forward in that state. If you see something. Say something. Let's bring down harassment!
And then CNN gave him an hour to repeat his lies abut the election, and to attack Ms. Carroll again. And to make matters worse, CNN allowed 400 Trumpers in as an audience who repeatedly laughed as Trump showed himself for what he is, a despicable human being.
What is wrong with the American people? Is it the lack of education, critical thinking skills, a complete absence of morality, unadulterated hate and resentment? I know most politicians don't have a shred of ethics. But the average person who supports this horrible person? I don't get it.
I am so thankful for the courage that Ms. Carroll has shown and that the jury believed her. I do not have the courage to stand or sit before strangers, both on the jury and all the media and say a man, no matter who, forced his fingers into my vagina against my will. This would be hard for me under any circumstances, but knowing, as all women do, that you will be disbelieved and subjected to ridicule and hate and have every part of your character called into question, this brave woman do it. I know for the millions of silent victims that this has been a wonderful conclusion to a difficult situation. Hearing another victim's story bring up all the memories of one's own victimization and it can be very very painful. As hard as it is, the more women that literally take a stand and confront their abusers the more men will be convicted/found guilty and hopefully that will reduce the incidence of sexual abuse. If even one man chooses not to molest a woman because he is scared he'll get caught and prosecuted or sued, then that is a good outcome. Women and men who have not been sexually abused have no idea of the psychological damage it does to a person, damage that cannot be undone. The Republicans that support men that do this are horrible people. And the men who love for their wives and daughters to be in the same room with Donald Trump and would be fine with him molesting them, well that's pretty low (but I know they can sink even lower, and then show up in church on Sunday).
I'm angry. Angry that Trump is not in prison for rape. Angry that after committing high treason where his incitement resulted in several deaths that he is allowed to run for President. Angry that a lowlife criminal con artist has weakened our democracy. Angry that he was allowed to install illegitimate/corrupt Supreme Court justices. I'm angry that instead of talking about how to fix our climate, we have to see his ugly mug and hear his hateful words in the news. I. Am. Angry.
I don’t like this man at all. Never did even since the mid 1980s when he came to Hartford my home town. A friend of mine met him and she told me she was impressed with Trump and I just looked at her and said, “Are you kidding?”
Ok, that was then this is now. I still don’t like him which is why I wrote a book about his days as president. But I must search my soul on my relations with women. Did I ever do what was alleged was done to E Jean? Well… hum… maybe somewhat. What guys haven’t? We had a dumb joke at one time that she just says no until she says yes. Was it stupid? Yes. So again the question, did I ever force myself on a woman? No… hum… well maybe yes maybe no… depends how you look at it. Look, if any man looks deep enough into this, we are guilty of some things. Ok, some guys were goody two shoes. I once worked in a bar. It was closing and that friendly smiling woman dressed all in tight black leather well you know the story. And we are both a bit tipsy. We do dumb things when we are young. At least some of us did. But this here Trump was a grown-up — a future president. He doesn’t get a pass. But I’m not going to cast the first stone, either. I can’t. I don’t get a pass. This took a lot for me to express. No, I never raped anyone. But there is a fine line to cross and when no is heard, game up.
Oops! Jumping the gun a bit?

Too bad it wasn't a criminal rape case.

E. Jean Carroll represents a breaking of the silence and coming forward as so many of us during that time did not.
There was nothing to protect us, even if we did come forward. Because it was considered shameful.
The me too movement no, this trial ending in a favorable decision is very important to we women.
Thank you to Jean for speaking up for all of us!

You asked a while back how to cover The X president. Siva sums it up in the above article in the Guardian.
