even when the Grateful Dead started up I was just never really into them. And now, 50 years later they keep popping up all over the place. Birthday parties, guitar get-togethers, caucus essays...it's too much!

Grabbing a woman in the p%##€ is sexual assault. That is not confusing in the least.

I feel bad for women on this subject. As EdMass says "ever since I was 12..." and that's about right. It makes sense when the hormones kick in for boys to say stupid stuff like this. I don't think I've ever said anything quite like what Trump says in this article...close enough, though. But like I said, when I was 12.

I assume men say incredibly obnoxious stuff to women and harass women beyond my imagination. It always makes me feel like something must have happened in a woman's life if I pass her on the street and she avoids looking at me. Because I think it's odd to pretend a person isn't there, see. So I'm ready to nod or smile as a way of saying "nice day, no worries here".

Meanwhile the idea of "rating" women (or men) is absurd. Would we rate trees? Birds? It's back to being 12 again.

We all know Trump is a pig but I question and resent his tape or convo being all over tao distract us when people should be talking about all the leaks including Hillary's speeches to Wall St. (or parts thereof)

Or just this morning my Hillary loving bff posting a Wall Street Journal article about the Donald making donations to political candidates. Oh, the outrage! but ignoring the gazillions the Clintons have made through their corruption and the influence they have peddled.

Hillary is a lying, corrupt, war monger.

Excerpts of Hillary Clinton's WS speeches are finally getting leaked. Intercept has it here.

She has public and private speak. Is anyone surprised about this? Support trade, Simpson-Bowles, raising the age for SS, and knows she's out of touch because of her "good fortune". Afterall, isn't making a fortune why everyone comes to Washington?

disagree. Ratings and comparisons are not okay. Disrespecting because of less than stellar looks, not okay.

Some called Trump's talk "lewd" when it was more than that. Sexual words don't bother me, although some will think it lacks class, making him unfit, as if he weren't unfit already.

But he talked about grabbing women's pussies (I'm assuming I don't have to star that here?) and kissing them without permission. That's sexual assault.

That's not "appreciating" good-looking women because I guarantee you women don't want his sleazoid tiny hands anywhere near their private spaces.

Imagine if an old woman you were completely unattracted to grabbed your crotch and forced her tongue in your mouth.

Such as this woman.

Mary Trump

Still confused?

As for Billy Jeff, two wrongs don't make a right. And Trump being forced out won't give Hill the win; Pence will continue to run, if they don't bring back Ted Cruz.

Pun not intended.

What's happening here is easily explained from a communications perspective. Yes, hetero men are quite definitely attracted to women - as gay men are attracted to men, gay women to women etc down the line. And perhaps there are a few among us who are truly not attracted to any other - doubtless they too will one day have their own letter in the Great Acronym of Equality - and they deserve to.

Anyway, I guarantee that sexual attraction is real and prevalent. And I am willing to bet my many millions of monopoly dollars that even Reince Priebus gets it on for something or someone out there. Ergo, as thunder follows lightning, I guarantee that all such groups have their own private banter about their opposites, in which they confide their desire for their shared other in an especially lude and crude manner, which speaks to their shared lust, of course, as it should.

Note that this language is a private language of selfish desire. It is not meant to be uttered in public - nor should it be. Because we all understand that we must conduct ourselves differently in public than we do in private, on matters of sex. I think everyone here can readily understand that, yes?

So what has happened here is that the private language of two known and identifiable hetero males has been dragged into the PUBLIC presence, where it does not belong. And other individuals have been asked - also in public - whether they approve. Well, of course they are going to say No - as they should - because they are speaking/acting in public, and that is what is expected in public. But when Reince - or you or I - go out with our buddies tonight, it is not completely unlikely that we will be saying the same kinds of things. Maybe not even about sex: maybe about the annoying habits of our spouse, or maybe about some other thing that is, by civil consensus, not to be uttered in public. What is no foul in private can be the very epitome of wrong in public.

That said, I do think The Donald's attitude was pretty classically sexist. To regard one's opposite as attractive and desirable is perfectly normal. But to regard that person as nothing other than an instrument of one's own designs suggests a rather underdeveloped sense of humanity.

! First, I haven't been following Trump or Eecchh Clinton or the election for awhile. I have actually never heard more than maybe 20 seconds of Trump except at the debates, which i tuned into for entertainment value to watch them blast each other. I can't listen to Eecchh without feeling like punching a wall, so I tune her out... I did have a great time watching all her eye tics and jerky head movements, wide mouthed cackling, and collapsing without the sound. Last debate i figured if she collapsed I could pick it up on you-tube later and feel a bit cheered up.

Now.. I don't know what Trump said in the latest sexist remark, or the context he said it in. I can say that working with an all male Afro-Caribbean construction crew that nothing whatsoever, as much as I don't like it, would shock me. I myself, in such an ambient, can come up with some funny word play on "hoes". Although its more likely I say something like, "If yo ho hear u talkin this shit she gonna chop yo fuckin dick head off." (If she can find d tiny thing).

But, as a anarchist participative parent of three daughters (all grown), I can tell you that when they were like eleven to thirteen they had some juicy shit to say about boys (after 13 or so that they didn't want me around in their conversations, no problem). My little girly voice not working so I won't even try a truth or dare quip.

LOL, I am not going to tune into what Trump said... or what Eecchh said about what Trump said, or about what the WAPO says about what Trump said about what Eecchh said about what Trump said about what nasty Bill said. I don't give a flying fuck what any of them say. They can all dress up in leather studded bikinis and squat on a spiked chromium dildo and post it on porntube and I still won't watch it. Although i would pay a fair bit for watching them compete in wet teeshirt wrestling.

Hope this is on topic.

Note in edit: I agree with solublefish but have a different way of saying it.

Blokes appreciate blokespeak.

He talked about "grabbing them in the pussy" and "just kissing them" without waiting for permission, as in forcing his disgusting lips and tongue onto a woman who hasn't agreed to be kissed and "grabbing" their private parts.

Are you in all seriousness even slightly defending this? Sick.

Of course Billy Jeff is also a sexual predator, and his wife Hillary defended him and attacked his victims. I am well aware of that.

But *please* do not try to normalize what Trump said. It's beyond disgusting. He should prosecuted for sexual assault. (And so should Bill Clinton.)

appreciation and assault.
