I'd say the pussy grab comment was likely bravado, probably hyperbole. Remember, he never mentioned unwanted touching, it was "they let you do it".

Right-wing jokes are 'bravado' and forgiveable and the claims above are serious, and presumable grounds for prosecution and maybe execution ?

I've said that none of them are jokes, what Trump said was not a joke, what sheen said was not a joke. I've said nothing about forgiveness or execution.

I'm trying to test this principle with you to find an example where somebody who agrees with your politics had to pay a kharmic price of some kind. Somebody tweets something and gets threatened... well they are paying the price for their actions. Mob justice, you say. Trump brags about his immense rape skills, and it's 'bravado' and the people have spoken. Anyway, that's fine. As I said, your form of Kharma seems to fall on half of the planet. If you can explain better, please do. Otherwise I will move on and let you be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can explain better, please do. Otherwise I will move on and let you be. Trump is paying for it. It almost cost him the election for starters. Women's groups are after him, people like you are calling him a rapist, celebs are spouting that he disrespects women and won't play at the inauguration. We have no idea how this affected him relationships with his wife and daughter, but I guarantee that behind the scenes, he is also paying for those comments. Of course he's paying the price for his comments, regardless of the intent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betsy Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) 12 hours ago, Michael Hardner said: The 'grabbing Pussy' was serious ? Well, putting into context what was actually being said in that video - though stated in macho-braggadocio banter, it's sorta serious. Trump was simply stating what's common in Hollywood among a certain crowd that flock to celebrities. Ignoring that fact - that there are many women who'd give anything to be with any celebrity, or to get a break in the movies - would be not only an ignorance about Hollywood (or any film industry), but would also be dishonest. The only thing was that he was crude in stating it, it was aimed at pussies - so you can scratch out men who'd willingly let their dicks grabbed by women and gay celebrities - and Trump and Billy were coming from male celebrity perspectives. Crude it may be, it was said in a private conversation. Eavesdroppers, usually end up getting upset at what they hear.

Not the same at all if you're comparing that with Trump's. Trump and Billy Bush were making private locker-room talks.........Charlie twitted to the public. It should come to no surprise that you'd get feedbacks - positive or negative - if you put your ideas out there!

You along with many others, have defended him, calling it locker room talk or a joke, or saying that the women let him cause they're celebrity sluts, or that he thought he was in a private conversation; basically twisting and turning to avoid the fact that he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy.

First of all, there's no rape! Michael reminds me of how things get exaggerated as something is passed along. From grabbing pussies, now, it's rape! Second, the conversation was taken out of context!

Michael Hardner Posted December 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Why quibble with the word 'rape' if you think it's ok anyway ? Charlie Sheen thinks Trump should DIE. If you dismiss his words then why also argue about what DIE means ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if Sheen twitted it to the public, it wasn't meant to be a locker-room talk! Therefore, anyone can give their feedback. Btw, I'm responding to this thread, which is about Sheen's tweet.

Therefore, anyone can give their feedback. Btw, I'm responding to this thread, which is about Sheen's tweet. Locker room talk can include the general public. It doesn't have to take place in an actual locker room. Trump's was on a bus with a microphone on his lapel so everyone could hear. You can give feedback all you want, but I question why you would start a thread about an insignificant nobody tweeting locker room talk when you've already expressed your belief that such talk doesn't matter.

-TSS- Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I wonder have some people never before experienced a disappointing election-result as for some people it seems to be so difficult to get a grip. As if the 2016 election was a final Presidential-election and now Trump is going to be President forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dialamah Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Just now, betsy said: First of all, there's no rape! Second, the conversation was taken out of context! He bragged about grabbing women by the pussy. Sexual assault then, if you want to split hairs. So he's bragged about sexually assaulting women. In what context exactly is bragging about sexual assault ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
