Magilla   510 #2341 Posted September 16, 2018 The GOP knows if Trump backs a candidate they get elected.  Well.... except Luther Strange for Alabama, who lost to Roy Moore on the ballot.  Trump then backed Roy Moore for election, who lost to Doug Jones  Maybe it's an Alabama thing? .... oh no... Rick Saccone in Pennsylvania, Ed Gillespie in Virginia, & Kevin McCarthy in California  Trump IS the republican party as of now.  So when Trump is gone, so are the GOP Whoops!

However, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Top Cats Hat   10 #2345 Posted September 17, 2018  Hmmm, "child sex abuser" seems a bit strong, he was only a little older.   Fair point.  She was 15, and the age of consent in Maryland at the time was 14.  Sex offender then.

blake   10 #2346 Posted September 17, 2018 the low ages of consent and marriage in some US states is a national scandal really, but if the age of consent is 14 and whatever happened happened when she was 15, then he isn't a sex offender even if he is 60.

Top Cats Hat   10 #2347 Posted September 17, 2018 but if the age of consent is 14 and whatever happened happened when she was 15, then he isn't a sex offender even if he is 60.  He is if it wasn't consensual.  It is a sexual assault!

blake   10 #2348 Posted September 17, 2018 nothing whatever will come of these ancient sex allegations.  of course he might not get the post but so what. It is not as if it is unusual for Supreme Court nominees not to get appointed. It happens regularly and when people say that presidents 'appoint' court justices, that's not true at all. The Senate does. A president just recommends them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Top Cats Hat   10 #2349 Posted September 17, 2018  nothing whatever will come of these ancient sex allegations.  That's because the US has a statute of limitations for sexual offences including rape and rape of a child.  If Jimmy Saville, Gary Glitter, Rolf Harris, Jonathan King or Dave Lee Travis had committed their crimes in the states, they would not have spent as much as a day in jail!

blake   10 #2350 Posted September 17, 2018 it's more likely to be because of the incredibly flimsy evidence with the sole independent witness saying it never happened the way the complainant described it. It's a non-story. If this guy flunks the nomination, it won't be because of this silly sex story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

davyboy   18 #2352 Posted September 17, 2018 Donald Trump Parade in Washington. A friend of Donald -- maybe a golfing buddy -- told him that he had a fantastic dream the other night: There was a really really big, huge parade in Washington celebrating Trump. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, lined the parade route, and cheered and cheered when Donald went past. It was the biggest celebration Washington had ever seen. Really Huge! Donald was very impressed and said, "That's really great! The best! By the way, how did I look? Was my hair OK?" His friend said that he couldn't tell. The casket was closed.
