    The reference is to something a couple of or a group of guys sitting around would engage in. Don't get stuck on the "locker room" reference.

    If you look at the sequence of events, the tape of the guys was done while on the campaign trail. yes, it was a "gotcha question" by a reporter named Bush, who was eventually fired because one of the voices I do believe on the tape was his. That being said, any reasonable person would have said "shut that off" type of thing. Trump didn't do. He quite literally walked right into it and even bragged it happens to him, among other things.

    Try it in a predominantly Republican district and see if you get the same outcome. I know none of the Republicans I know would have found him liable. We would see it for what it is; a woman trying to cash in on Trump now that the sharks are circling for blood. The waters are inviting for a feeding frenzy.

    I'm sorry that your rabbid hatred of the man blinds you to the facts of what is going on.

    Are you going to tell me that you don't understand that the moment that he announced his intentions to run again was when the legal system was turned against him?

    Trump's trade mark is his exaggerations. Now you want to believe he's not exaggerating?

    I asked you nicely. I guess you're not interested in being civil.

    No. But I gleefully smile before I nod off knowing that their favorite potus in history will never be POTUS again.

    Tee Hee.

    Isn't Access Hollywood a tabloid type show that he was being interviewed on?

    They act like it was a deposition in a court of law or something

    All the Trumpets on this board will of course make up excuses and pass the usual political gas trying to trivialize the decision and its implications. No one would expect any less. To Trumpets, their messiah will go to hell and take them with him, pulling them by their crotches of course.

    If you weren't blinded by your bias you would realize that I have said that I would rather have DeSantis for president.

    But since I don't sufficiently express slobbering Trump hatred all the time, in your mind this means I must be blindly devoted.

    All I know is that the left are critical of Trump's exaggerations, saying how he's not connected to reality, but in this case he wasn't being his usual self -- a braggart.

    Wait. She lied about the rape but we are to believe not about an assault? How can they separate her accusation into parts? Either he was there and did what she claimed he did or he didn't she can't be partially truthful.

    How about C.L.I.N.T.O.N.

    Does he get a bye because he was only impeached once? Why don't we view Trump in the same manner as Clinton has been? You know who actually committed felonies in his list of wrongdoings.

    And let's not forget what she has claimed occurred. First that she and Trump were flirting and dillying through the women's lingerie and he asked her to model some for him and she willingly entered into a women's dressing room, where he had no busines to be, in order to do so. That is HER story. Do you really believe that if indeed he made a pass at her that it should be considered an assault?

    ".... In an interview with The New York Times, “It was an episode. It was an action. It was a fight. It was not a crime. It was, I had a struggle with a guy.” She added in the same interview, “I am not — I have not been raped. Something has not been done to me. I fought. That’s the thing.”"

    And now she claims an assault?

    "....when asked in a separate interview on MSNBC whether she would consider attempting to press criminal charges against Trump, her answer was even more bizarre. She flatly said no, and when asked why, she said, “I would find it disrespectful to the women who are down on the border who are being raped around the clock down there without any protection … It would just be really disrespectful.”"

    What?

    "...Further minimizing the traumatic event she supposedly went through, Carroll said, “Mine was three minutes, I’m a mature woman. I can handle it. I can keep going. You know, my life has gone on. I’m a happy woman.”

    $5 million worth of I can handle it?

    The article notes that was until three years later when George Conway recommended a lawyer to her that could bring a defamation suit against Trump because he denied her now allegation he did rape her. WOW a man gets accused of something he didn't do so he denies it and it is defamation. And remember the jury just said he didn't rape her.

    If he didn't rape her then where is the defamation in his denying it?

    And did she prove it ever happened, did she present evidence of the day? The article notes in Carroll's story.

    "..No fellow shopper saw it. No fitting room attendant. No sales clerk. It was by every indication a ghost town in that Manhattan department store. Even Carroll acknowledged the peculiarity of such unexpected desolation, writing, “99 percent of the time, you will have an attendant in Bergdorf’s. All I can say is I did not, in this fleeting episode, see an attendant.” As for how the pair ended up in a fitting room without assistance: “And the other odd thing is that a dressing-room door was open. In Bergdorf’s dressing rooms, doors are usually locked until a client wants to try something on.”

    Men better be scared when women can do this on such skimpy unverifiable quite outlandish claims against them.

    By the way since they jury said there was no rape can Trump sue her for defamation for claiming in her book there was, that is quite a malicious claim that was intended to harm him. Don't you think she should have to pay up too?

    I think you should go with your defense that since Trump didn't know sexually assaulting her was wrong and a crime, that he should just be innocent. LOL

    Trump once said “I can stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters,”

    But if indictments start to strangle him the only person he might consider shooting on Fifth Avenue is himself.

    Do not underestimate how the mind of a creature like Trump works. Especially if the law starts to choke him.

    Someone like Trump will choose the easy way out, believe me. He'll do 'An Epstein.'

    And I hope it happens.


    His Judgement Cometh And That Right Soon
