How do you know, because they were trotted out like props then went away after the cheques cleared - yeah. Here's how I generally judge one of these high profile cases; I watch the press conferance and if I see Gloria Allred or Lisa Bloomn the picture, it's probably a false claim.

In Trumps defence; when you're a celebrity, they let you do it. If it's ok by them, why should we worry about it.

...And what do you think is being implied when these women comment on his "tiny hands"? Besides, why is insulting a woman any different than insulting a man? Why are we not outraged at Trump calling liberal Joe "Psycho Joe"?

Really? You could call him a sexist bully, but considering that he doesn't single out women any more than men I prefer to think of him an an equal oppertunist. He did call out liberal Joe as well. Why no outrage over that? Is it mean (or pig like) to call out Mika, but not Joe? Now, that sounds sexist to me. For example, what would you say if Trump came out and said "well, she's a woman...so no need for me to comment"?

So, what makes him a "pig"?

Well, it seems to me that the media is calling a woman (Mika) a misandrist for her attack calling president Trump crazy....Oh, wait a minute - my bad, they don't care about that, what they're doing is calling Trump a misogynist for calling a woman with a low IQ - crazy.

I think he likes the media getting distracted from the "news".

Trump has 3 bills (at least) on the floor - 2 voting today, he's just met with the energy sector, soon to meet with South Korea and the travel ban goes into affect in a couple hours and all the news wants to talk about is "low I.Q Mika". Keep an eye on that fidget spinner liberals. I think it's another winning day for Trump.

Wait! If what you're saying is true, then we would have to accept the fact that a 747 smashing into a building at 600mph would cause an explosion. Seems pretty far fetched!

I don't think anyone can explain anything to you in a way that you'll understand, however, you could give a theory on something for a change.

Aren't you tired of being wrong yet?

I had to laugh at hearing a teenage girl talk about the struggles of the herself and the gay community in BC.

No, it focusses on certain countries that have a substandard vetting program due to the instability in the region, those countries just happen to have a large number of Muslims.

Sure, in theory. But it would be foolish to believe that the school boards will stand up to the muslim community the way they do the Christians.

And this is where it's gonna get interesting. The school board did this apparently to treat all religions equally, however, there will be a day when the muslims decide that they should be able to pray and include Islam in their schools - then what?

You've simply stopped any effort to make sense. You are a cliche riddled caricature.

I wont worry about Trump too much, he seems to be able to fight his own battles. You can focus on polls, I just see election results.

It tells me that they still won - duh!

If Trump is as bad as you people claim, and the Republicans are still winning elections, doesn't that tell you people something about the state of the Democrats? They're like a really bad sports team that refuses to accept that they need a rebuild. Look, you won the cup back in '08, but your players are old, tired and weak...probably a little senile - time to move on.

I think Kellyanne said it best, Trump is listening to the people while the Democrats continue telling the people what's important to them. The Dems have one play, and that is to be stubborn, arrogant and infantile regardless of what the people are telling them. Pelosi, was being told that she's out of touch, then proceeds to give a garbled and arrogant statement proving them right. Cryin' Chuck Schumer is no better. Hillary (Why aren't I 50 points ahead you might ask) was out of touch, Maxine Waters - Is she always drunk or is it a stroke? Wasserman Schultz - Bitch of the century? The list goes on and on...back to Harry Reid and Bawney Fwank days. These people just don't get it.

Ok, so tell me then, Is it racist for a black person to request a black doctor, lawyer, councellor, police officer to assist them? Is it racist for a black group to not allow white people at their rally, or for blacks to ask whites to leave their school or house of worship? Is a woman a bigot for wanting a female doctor...or Lawyer? Is it OK for the gays to kick non gays out of their parade? None of these are imagined scenarios, they're things that happen all the time - with little (or no) media coverage and certainly no outrage. Maybe a black person wants someone that they see as more relatable to their personal experiance. Maybe a woman feels more comfortable with a female OBGYN. Is that possible?

Really, I think it's even more valuable today. Without it, the whole country would be ruled by New York, California, Florida and a handful of large cities. The farmers and blue collar people would have no say whatsoever in the policies directly affecting their own lives. The tyrant you speak of could pander to just a few localized areas and know that she could tell the miners, farmers and such that they are deplorable and still win.

I call BullSheet on No.2. I think if this woman, even being white, requested a black (or any other minority) doctor specifically, she would be heralded as a hero to diversity. You'd be singing songs, she'd have selfies with our PM - maybe a parade in her honour.

The only real way to know whether she displayed racist behaviour is obviously to ask oneself "If a black woman wanted a black doctor - is that racist"? If a Muslim woman wanted a muslim doctor, Is that racist? If the answer to either of those is NO!, then it's not racism. If a woman asks for a female doctor, is that Ok? If yes, then clearly a man insisting on a male doctor must also be OK.
