    He grabbed woman by the che-che in real life? Who was it? I would like a name, please... Or are you talking about the hot-mic (man talk) between Trump and Billy Bush in the studio bus?

    Yep, when Trannies (men pretending to be woman) walk in on teen-aged girls it is criminal and predatory. I'm glad we see eye to eye on that.

    Things the Democrats get away with is mind blowing. Yeah, Trump used to be a Democrat... and may have gotten away with boy/man talk on a hot mic in a studio bus...

    I hate to break the news to you, but the NWO is a Pubs invention. And we will not have Constitutional Rights when that clown car gets going... The Dems are going along for the ride becasue they collectively figured out the R and D can get along so long as their families get a lifetime of power and control over the rest of the world people.

    2. Women/teen-age girls aren't running around half dressed in public bathrooms, they are at beauty pageants. This may come as a surprise to you, but they don't even have urinals in women's public bathrooms, just separate stalls.
    3. You post a lot of nonsense.

    That’s true, but it seems like it was more ingrained in Hollywood culture. Back in the 90s I met a guy through work whose wife had been a small-time actress in Hollywood. He said she left that business because of sexual pressure put on her if she wanted to advance.

    Interestingly, he said she was exclusively acting on the stage where apparently that culture was not as prominent.

    If that really is your position, then you would be fighting for a better candidate than Biden.

    I vote my conscience, even if that vote is considered “thrown away” by other people. In 2016 I had people tell me if I didn’t vote for Trump. I was automatically voting for Clinton. I voted my conscience and voted for neither.

    Our only obligation is to vote our conscience. We’re not obligated to vote as someone else wants us to. Sorry for being so direct, but I take this very seriously.

    If it really is a referendum on abortion, then that would create a serious dilemma for pro-life Democrats.

    Nope. You can actually be "pro-life" AND support a woman's right to chose. The difference is you don't have pro-choice Dems trying to force any anti-choicers to have abortions.

    Pro-choice initiatives will drive voter turnout.

    Many women have stories of being sexually harassed or abused in all sorts of jobs. There was even a time when it wasn't as big of a deal for bosses to be having "affairs" with their secretaries. I'm sure some were actually consensual and some were not, but we now have a greater appreciation of the power dynamic and why that's problematic.

    But yeah, it makes sense it would be even more problematic in a field where many young women (and to a lesser extent, men) are taking the risk of moving somewhere they don't know, without a support system, and where they can be subject to the whims of one or more powerful men who have the ability to help them achieve their dreams or trash their reputation and send them packing back to their home towns.

    Apparently, this was (maybe still is?) a big issue in comedy clubs as well. I remember this video from 2011 getting a lot of attention in recent years. I don't know how guys who do this get any real enjoyment out of it or how they sleep at night.

    Do you talk like that about women Rick? "Boy talk"? I know I sure don't. I assume you dont either.

    And "trannies walking in on teenage girls" is the exact same crime as Trump doing it.

    If you defend one, you have to defend the other.

    Be direct! That's why we are here aren't we? So many voters joined you in 2016 and we ended up with trump 1.0. If trump or duhsantis ends up our president, I really believe democracy as we know it will be thoroughly damaged. Trump will be unhinged because he wouldn't have to consider if it will get him re elected. If you're ok with the worst case scenario, then by all means don't vote, however, there are countries around the world whose people can only wish they held that kind of power.
    The way our system is set up, the party in the WH doesn't run against the incumbent. I would love an alternative, but he is as middle as I've seen with a D next to his name. With the exception of Christie or Haley, the "republicans" scare me. Christie and Haley don't stand a chance, that tells you something right there. I take our traditions and system of government very seriously. If I thought Biden was just as dangerous, then I would be hoping for someone, anyone else to run. He has not shown one iota that he is looking to mess with our checks and balances or our freedoms. Except for the spending (which side doesn't overspend anymore), he's done a great job.

    To clarify, I did not say I would not vote. I will still vote, but if the choice is between Trump and Biden from the main parties, then I will vote third-party.

    We have different outlooks. I do not have the same fears that you do. If he’s elected, which I don’t think will happen, I do not believe he will destroy the country.

    Looking back on his presidency before the January 6 riot at the capital, most of what people criticized Trump for was social, like his mean tweets and his demeaning people. Of course, there were some policies that some people disagreed with, but those were not drastically altering our country.

    I learned something when Reagan was elected. I lived in Berkeley, California at the time and maybe I had absorbed some of their thinking, but I fully expected Reagan to start World War III for the fun of it. He didn’t do that. I came to realize that there’s an awful lot of momentum in the ship of state. No president can destroy this country.

    Trump already did some significant damage to this country. Anything decision he made was based on can it get him re elected. The damage wasn't always policy driven, but instead creating more division allowing people like Proud Boys to feel empowered. Now that that isn't a concern, he will not be controllable like he was in the first term. People who worked with him and were supporters have said as much. It takes time to destroy a country, we just have to be aware that there are people in this country that don't want a democracy. Defunding the DOJ and the FBI, or making the president more powerful than the other two branches of government are just two of the ideas floating around.


    The question I ask myself when I choose who to vote for is "what effect do I want my vote to make?". Voting for someone that doesn't have a chance in hell of winning to me is just you being able to say "Well I didn't vote for them". Well, that won't be helpful.
