Some people just like classic Coke. Others insisted on the original Reese’s recipe. New York Times writer Jodi Kantor went on CNN to explain why Democrats can vote for Maine senatorial candidate Graham Platner despite multiple women coming forward to denounce him: this is really not the classic Me Too allegations that Kantor and others seem to prefer for outrage.
Kantor won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein’s sexual abuse and was called forth by CNN to explain why it is ok for liberals to support an alleged abuser of women. A prior girlfriend has accused Platner of physically abusing her and even locking her into a room overnight. He is also accused of sexting women and dismissing rape victims.
None of that, however, necessarily presents a barrier for those who want to retake power by any means necessary.
Kantor clinically explained that these “are not classic MeToo accusations.” Specifically, “they’re not about a boss and a young female employee being subjected to sexual advances. They were mostly made in the context of consensual relationships. There are these, like, very sensational texts about sex. There are allegations from former girlfriends that are not — the way my colleagues reported them were not like classic abuse allegations,” she stressed.
In a statement that would have produced a torrent of condemnations if used during the Kavanaugh controversy, Kantor insisted that “they were mostly like being his boyfriend gave me a view into him and I did not like what I saw. His character was scary. He had this Nazi tattoo. Et cetera.”
In fairness to Kantor, she was attempting no small feat: to allow liberals to continue to claim Me Too outrage while grabbing Maine.
Of course, Kantor quickly brushes over the other controversies beyond the abuse allegations as simply a Nazi tattoo. She omits his mocking of a wounded veteran, rural people, and rape victims while praising Hamas and embracing communism.
However, her diminishing of the account of women like Lyndsay Fifield as “they were mostly like being his boyfriend gave me a view into him and I did not like what I saw.”
What Fifield alleges that she “saw” were marks left on their body after being yanked and grabbed by Platner. In one case, she claimed “he twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom and held the door closed from the other side so she couldn’t get out, telling her to remain there until she was ‘calm.’”
Kantor seems to begrudgingly acknowledge that “there was one allegation of crossing a line physically, but I think that means that these are pretty different accusations than, say, the one that — the ones that President Trump faced.”
Previously, Kantor did not draw this distinction between classic Me Too and new knockoffs involving non-employment situations. She once grouped a wide variety of controversies from Al Franken to Brett Kavanaugh to Jeffrey Epstein under the banner:
“it felt like there was this period where discussion of #MeToo was actually pretty bipartisan. Democrats like [Sen.] Al Franken were accused, but so were Republicans, like [Alabama Judge] Roy Moore. And also, a lot of these stories played out in the corporate arena, which is not particularly political. But the Kavanaugh hearings almost felt in a way like a return to an older pattern, like a return to a pattern that we saw with the allegations against Bill Clinton, Clarence Thomas, and Donald Trump. Those are scenarios in which the allegations take on all of the heat and the poison of American political life. And in those stories, it turns into a holy war very, very quickly and can almost feel like it’s not even about the women anymore.
…The #MeToo movement has proven so durable and so self-correcting. I think there was a moment after the Kavanaugh hearings where it all just felt like it had become impossibly politicized, to the point where it was almost preventing constructive conversation.
Ironically, Kantor’s rationalization returns to the very partisan “older pattern” that she once denounced in how allegations from women are treated in the media.
In rationalizing the Platner support, Kantor was obviously singing to the choir on CNN. Democratic figures like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Elizabeth Warren celebrated his securing the nomination.
Yes, he may be a rape-mocking, sex-texting, Hamas-praising, Nazi-tattooed, veteran-abusing, self-proclaimed communist. However, he will return them to power.
Other media figures, like The View co-host Sunny Hostin, have added their own rationalization for choosing power over principle. She has declared that he is “a liar, a racist, an antisemite, and a homophobe.” However, he is still better than voting for a moderate Republican woman. This week, Hostin explained:
“let’s be strategic, let’s get some power, let’s take over the Senate, let’s take over the House and let’s right the ship. Let’s get our country back…I am sorry, I am someone that believes in character, I am someone that believes that morals matter,” she concluded. “But because of the state of this country, I would — if I lived in Maine I would hold my nose and I would vote for Platner. I would.”
And so, Me Too becomes Meh when Maine is at stake.
Jonathan Turley is a law professor and the New York Times best-selling author of “Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution.“
This is from the blurb for Kantor’s 2017 book _She Said_:
The investigative work explained in this book ignited new “standards of accountability around the globe.”
And now with this update:
Unless you’re a socialist politician who will help the Left seize power and “get Trump.” Then those standards do not apply.
Mike Johnson On California’s Alleged ‘Vote Rigging’
“Some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it is impossible to prove,” Speaker Mike Johnson said. “But I think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here.”
…………………………………..
What Johnson really means is he doesn’t expect these claims to ‘ever’ be proven!
Maybe you missed it. But there was a video of a women paying the homeless to sight up to vote.
Being paid to register to vote? Oh, the humanity!
Correct.
We HAD election laws that make most of these impossible – specifically because without them many forms of Fraud are possible but unproveable.
Just ONE simple example – in CA Ballot Harvesting is legal.
That means that a ballot can pass from the voter to a third party and then to election officials – legally.
If you are trying to prevent fraud – the fewer people who handle ballots – the less fraud you get – because the easier it is to catch fraud.
If a Ballot is only handled by the voter and the election officials – there are only two people to point fingers at.
Further with many allegations of fraud – it is only possible for ONE of them to have committed the fraud.
Introduce a third party – and fingers are pointed all over.
Introduce a third party – and you create the opportunity to Manufacture ballots.
If a name is entered on the voter registration rolls – and we KNOW that LA alone has over 1M invalid names on their voter registration rolls.
Then election officials will not be suspicious if a ballot arrives from that name. The person need not exist. Or if they exist – they may not have voted.
CA mails out ballots to EVERYONE on the voter registration rolls – given that WE KNOW that in CA there are millions of people who do not exist on those rolls – that creates the opoortunity to manufacture Millions of Fraudulent ballots.
Worse still – this need not require large numbers of people.
In fact today a single person with some technology tools can create and inject millions of fraudulent ballots.
CA’s election laws – not only make this possible – but undetectable.
The history of elections in the US and elsewhere tells us absolutely
“if you build it, they will come”
If election fraud is possible – it WILL occur.
In the LA Mayor election – the left is now seeking to destroy the last check against election fraud.
That is that the results must make sense.
Election fraud in close elections is extrermely hard to detect – because the required fraud is small, and because a shift of 1% in outcome from polls is not suspicious.
Even the worst polls in the US are nearly always within 3pts of correct on election day. Pollsters just do not get things worse than that.
Yet the descrepancy in LA is nearly 10pts..
If you can get people to beleive that the polls can be wrong by 10pts – that means you can engage in MASSIVE fraud and get away with it.
CA’s elections are DESIGNED for Fraud.
Buit worse still is CA is the Democrats testing the corrupt elections they wish to foist on the rest of the country.
What Johnson really means is he knows these claims cannot be proven!
“But I think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here.” is a reference to himself.
I’m exhausted, man. These opinions are outdated, but here we are discussing the Karmelo Anthony case. Anthony fatally stabbed Austin Metcalf in Frisco, Texas, in 2025 during a high school track meet, a case that attracted national attention. Anthony was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison.
It has unleashed a storm of controversy due to the racial overtones of the case. Larry Reid, a Black commentator, went on a tangent about how integration has benefited the Black community, but now it’s time for Black people to return to Africa. It’s the solution to the so-called “white people problem” in America, or something (via Breitbart):
“I want you to begin to think about this America and the white people problem that we have… As a collective, let’s drain this place of its benefits and make our mass exodus and go home and build.”
“Civil rights did not make white people that are infected with whiteness stop being racist. They still raised racist children that run this country to this day.”
“You come from a land that flows with milk and honey. They pulled you out of that land ancestrally and brought you to a place to where your royalty was not recognized. Used your black power, your black mysticism, your African spirituality, and your physiological superiority to build this country and give everybody reparations except you.”
– Larry Reid, a Black commentator
A recent poll found that 55% of democrats would prefer to live somewhere besides the United States.
If that is you – PLEASE LEAVE.
I would be happy to see our govenrment pay your costs to leave – surrendering your US citizenship as you board the plane.
If you do not wish to be here – then don’t.
Epstein Scandal Lives
Yesterday, The New York Times ran a feature-length story on how the Epstein scandal played inside the White House. The following is a brief excerpt.
* * * * * * *
Trump made clear to his aides that he had no interest in releasing anything related to Epstein. He snapped at anyone who raised the issue, and his staff mostly learned to avoid the subject in front of him. They were left to worry and plan among themselves. The president’s refusal to acknowledge that a crisis existed, let alone that it was growing, complicated every path his team wanted to take.
As The Wall Street Journal prepared a damaging article about his relationship with Epstein, the president tried to kill it. He called News Corp.’s chief executive; its owner, Rupert Murdoch; and the paper’s editor in chief, Emma Tucker. The president, practically shouting as he threatened to sue, told Tucker, who is British, that she must “hate America.” When his efforts to stop the article failed and his advisers settled on a limited gesture of transparency, the president went along grudgingly.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/magazine/epstein-files-trump-white-house-takeaways.html?smid=nytcore-android-share
……………………………
Trump started the war in Iran in a desperate effort to put Epstein behind him. But Epstein, like the monster in a horror film, is never completely dead. In fact, just yesterday, Bill Gates testified at closed House hearing on his relationship with Epstein (which Gates claims was very limited).
Same dumb comment by Ano.
Why didn’t biden release the files?
Could it be, there was far to many dem names on it.
Why didn’t the NY slime ask this same question when biden was the Prez.
Now that’s a cover up.
Biden didn’t release the files because there was a continuing investigation. Law enforcement doesn’t typically release evidence when the investigation is open.
Why did Alexander Acosta give Epstein a soft deal that protected all the co-conspirators back in the day in Florida? Why was Acosta such a good buddy of Trump’s?
Still Clinging to the ludicrous hope that there is some burried epstain secret to “get Trump”
The victims – real people – exist. They are all free to file lawsuits, subpeona records and make them public as well as try their abusers and take them to the cleaners.
There is not a record that can not be made public in the course of a lawsuit.
That is the only constitutional way to make investigative material public.
Thje law Congress passed is unconstitutional – it violates the 5th amendment – DOJ speaks through prosecutions in court – not tyhrough dumping investigative material.
If there are cases that can be prosecuted – prosecute them
But the Epstain matter has been in front of DOJ through EVERY president in the 21st century.
Trump is the one who actually reported Epstain to law enforcement in 2006.
The Bush DOJ botched Epstain.
The O)bama DOJ ignored Epstain.
The Trump 45 DOJ investigated and prosecuted Epsain and Ghislane – Epstain avoided justice by committing suicide – or maybe Hillary had him offed.
The Biden DOJ ignored Epstain and his victims.
You may be critical of the Trump 47 DOJ – but millions of pages of investigative material has been made public.
Why do you hide Epstein’s name in your comments?
The same people who manufactured the Steele Dossier did not bother to release the supposedly damning Epstain information on Trump ?
The same people who were funding from the WH Fannie Willis;s prosecution of Trump – did not bother to release purportedly damning documents that DOJ and FBI had ?
There must be hundreds of FBI and DOJ employees who have access to Epstain Documents in government – you want use to beleive that in a governemnt where 90% of people are democrats, that none leaked any damning information ?
During Trump 45 – Comey’s FBI leaked FALSE information to “Get Trump”
The war in Venezuela was to distract from the Epstein files. The war against Iran was because Netanyahu was losing the “existential threat” of Hamas and he needed a new villain, so he suckered Trump into supplying the majority of the muscle rather than Netanyahu making Trump look weak.
The power-hungry left looks for fools like you who can repeat their claims even a moron would recognize as BS. Morons like you continuously fail, leaving it to John Say to spread the truth. I thank you for making John Say correct you again. Keep up the good work. People need to know the truth.
So Sunny Hostin believes that character, and morals matter; Until she Doesn’t!
Leftists are mentally deranged monsters.
That explains the lack of Trump stickers on trucks – fear of the deranged monsters. Also no one wearing MAGA red caps. It’s mayhem out there. Over 1000 Trump followers were killed and eaten raw just yesterday, same as every day since 2016.
Charlie Kirk.
Here’s a big difference: Trump was accused with zero evidence, zero proof. Platner admitted many things, and his history is quite disturbing. Reichsmarschall Platner can be a Nazi, woman-abuser, rape excuser, rape fantasizer, and Obamapotty aficionado, but Democrats will support him because they care about power over everything else. That’s how they supported Klansmen, for example. Nothing matters but power.
Estovir, Trump led an insurrection and was convicted of multiple felonies. Plus Trump managed to lose a rape civil suit that should’ve been simple to beat had he not acted like a bully in court.
Therefore to imply that Trump is the innocent victim of devious plots against him is absolute bunk.
ED (Estovir derangement) sufferer: it wasn’t an insurrection, and the felonies were bogus. The civil suit was bogus too and in a kangaroo court. It is accurate to say that Trump was the target of the most vicious sustained lawfare campaign in history, not to mention the many physical assassination attempts that continue virtually every month. Get out of your ultra-left-wing bubble and live in the real world. It’s very different than the one you’ve been fed by the lying liars who feed you lying propaganda which you swallow whole, you pathetic moron.
Estovir, Trump never answered for January 6th. So no one knows how he might have fared under oath. Same thing with those felonies and the rape civil suit. Trump alienated the juries and never took the stand.
Trump said to protest peacefully. He asked for the National Guard but Nancy Pelosi said no.
Trump said to fight like hell or you won’t have a country anymore as the last command to the mob. How could anyone forget the best part?
Peaceful was before he railed against the stolen election; just setting the table before the main course.
So if a football coach says “fight like hell” to win a football game he should be in prison???
You stupid fuc_k
This folks is the best answer the libs have. Just cuss when you can’t argue the point.
Thanks ano, you just keep proving my point. You are stupid.
The leftoids always dissolve into name calling …they have no tolerance for anything not their POV. Almost like they were nazis or something huh ?.
Karen S: a football coach doesn’t lead a group of Neo Nazis, the Proud Boys, the 3 percenters and the Oath Keepers who attended planning meetings at the Willard Hotel and who went on reconnaissance missions before January 6th to plot the most vulnerable possible points of entry into the Capitol Building where they planned to prevent Pence from accepting the certification of Biden’s victory.
The tinfoil is pretty tight on this one.
lets presume everything you claim is true – some of it is – but only if you remove the spin.
Penmce does not certify an election – Congress does – Pence is just the chair person for the joint session.
Congress has the constitutional power to certify or not any federal election. They have refused to certify elections for Fraud in the past,
They have also chosen to accept the votes of alternate electors in the past – as recently as 1961.
So your claim is that these people conspired to demand that Congress do what Congress is free to do.
Further they sought to demand that congress do what they SHOULD have done.
Thgere is ample evidence that the 2020 Election was a botched mess – rife with lawlessness, fraud, error, that getting exposed has been like trying to pull teeth – those of you on the left have Fought tooth and nail against any inquiry.
Not only should the 20209 election have had a thorough audit – but EVERY election should be audited.
Further Every election should be conducted such that Fraud is incredibly difficult and certain to be caught
This is not very difficult to do. There are many ways to do it. There are unfortunately even more ways to do it badly.
Regardless your theseis is that a bunch of disparate groups – that have nothing to do with each other and did not communicate with each other conspired to do something perfectly legal – to Go to Congress without weapons and petition govenrment to reject the certification of the 2020 election.
Let us presume the show was on the other foot. You ranted and raved about the “collusion delusion”.
Lets assume there were actually credible allegations that Russia had jiggered with voting machines during the 2016 election.
And hordes of Pink Pu$$y hatted left wing nuts descended unarmed on the capital demanding that VP Biden not certify the election ?
That would be perfectly legal and constitutional.
In football, they tackle people to the ground and slam into them. Football is fighting. There are also rules which the players keep to.to limit the violence. In addition, a coach doesn’t lie and say that the school will cease to exist if the game is lost.
Shattering windows and literally climbing walls and smashing cops in the head with fire extinguishers isn’t part of the rules. Most everywhere what Trump did is called instigating a riot.
The fight in elections, by the rules, happens before the voting starts by discussing why the candidates are worth voting for or against. After the election all fighting is over. The votes are in, counted, verified, accepted, and done.
Correct and protected free speech.
Regardless, the Violence at the Capital did not errupt spontaneously from the crowd.
It started when the CP at the West Tunnel Entrance accidentally tear gassed themselves and then “accidentally” lobbed a tear gas canister into a peaceful crowd.
It took almost 4 years to get the video released – but when it was – it was damning – 115,000 hours of video. Very very little actual violence.
Even your idiotic claims regarding the Qanon Shaman fell apart.
Was there some violence at the Capital on J6 – certainly. But there would have been NONE had Pelosi accepted Trump’s offer of the NG.
Regardless there was less violence than any BLM peaceful protest or any night at the Portland Federal Courthouse,
or most any anti-ICE protest.
No one at J6 brought a firearm.
No one brought frozen water bottles.
There were no mysterious pallets of brinks delivered for protestors to throw.
There were no truckloads of Amazon delivered ballistic shields for protestors.
There were no lasers used to blind police.
There were no fireworks used to disorient them.
There were no whistles used to disorient them.
There was no arson
No Molotov cocktails.
There was NONE of the things present in nearly every left wing “peaceful” protest.
ATS
You make perfectly clear why so many want to see you and your ilk in orange jumpsuits.
Trump did not answer for J6th – because no answer is necescary for free speech.
We have all heard your fevered dreams that something more was going on – but multiple independent and even Biased left wing nut investigations found NOTHING.
Your Kangarooo House J6th committee tried to make a huge deal over hearsay allegations – that were denied under oath by sources actually present – that Trump tried to direct the SS to take him to the capital on J6th. Something that if True means NOTHING.
That is the extent of what you came up with.
Miley hates Trump – yet his testimopny was that Trump ordered the DC NG to be available at the request of the house sargent at arms DAYS before J6 and that DOD had in place orders to do exactrly that – and that the DC NG sat at the armory in busses from 7Am on J6th waiting for permission to come to the Capital from the House Sargent at Arms. That throughout the day the House Sargent at arms BEGGED Pelosi’s office to be allowed to call in the National Guard and was repeatedly denied.
We do not investigate the Victims of fraud – we investigate the purpitrators.
It was not a successful insurrection. More like an attempt to kill the Vice President.
On a gallows that was not capable of hanging a teddy bear that was more than a mile away on the other side of the reflecting pool ?
You mean the Show Trials ,Stacked with Dimwits?……Yea,,yea..The Fed-surrection..where the most armed people ,in a highly armed society ,didnt bring GUNS…and what about the 375 FBLie agents in the crowd..Or your Hero..Ray Epps…Idsay youre drinking too much leftist coolaid..but that gives you too much credit../you are a VILE ,EVIL ,MEAN ,Supporter of CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS that Rape ,molest and Murder my people..(you arent American..so you dontqualify)…You are the ENEMYWITH,we were warned about ,by those Great Old White Men….PISS OFF ..Loser..
Estovir, let’s see an established source regarding those ‘375’ FBI agents. You won’t find ANY documented count like that outside the rightwing bubble. And if that were even vaguely fact, why didn’t Republicans take part in the J 6 hearings??
Dude, the FBI was under Trump’s DOJ headed by William Barr who downplayed the Mueller Report. Like Barr really planted 375 FBI agents at Trump’s rally..??
They should’ve taken part, but Nancy Pelosi refused to seat two of the Republicans chosen for the committee.
The correct number of agents in 274 and the answer is absolutely yes – and there was significant pushback inside the FBI over this.
BTW the head of the FBI at the time was Christopher Wray.
The Mueller report was a fizzle, and worse still Mueller like Smith later was unconstitutionally appointed, and shortly after taking on the role had more than enough invormation to be REQUIRED to end the investigation.
The FBII interviewed Denachenko in very early january 2017 and he admitted that the Steele Dossier was made up, often from rumours and gossip from members of the DNC – that there was no substance for any of it.
In the US law enforcement must have probable cause to conduct a search or seizure, they must have reasonable suspicion to investigate.
After the Steele Dossire was discredited by its author the very last threat of reasonable suspicion was gone.
Further investigation was illegal and unconstitutional.
I would note that IG Horowitz concluded exactly the same.
In August 2026 the opening of Crossfire Huricane was justified by the allegation that Papadoulous had told Andrew Downer that The Trump Campaign had foreknowledge of the DNC email hack.
By Late August when McCabe iunterviewed Downer who made clear that nothing about the DNC emails was discussed by Papadulous – crossfire huricane was due to be shutrdown. It was sustained as the Steele Dossier found its way to the FBI. But the reasonable suspicion that arrose from the Steele Dossier dispeared slowly and then completely when its Auithor Danchenko confirmed in early 2017 that it was all just gossip and rumors from the DNC.
At that time the investigation was constitutionally required to be closed. It was not.
The moment Mueller became aware that the steele dossier was discredited – his investigation was constitutionally and legally OVER.
In the US LEOs may not investigatge anyone for any reason anytime they wish.
Republicans tried to take part in the J6 hearings – Democrats refused to follow the house rules that had been in place for decades that allow each party to choose its own committee members.
Why did the Democrat J6 committee destroy all of its records – most of these were eventually recovered.
“You won’t find ANY documented count like that outside the rightwing bubble. ”
How about the FBI’s OWN documents ?
https://justthenews.com/sites/default/files/2025-09/FBI-HJC119-J6IG-000001-000050.pdf
BTW Even left wing MSN reported this.
Further this is an official FBI document citing that 274 plain clothes Armed FBI Agents were sent to the capital on J6.
That there was no coordination with other LEO’s and no means that other LEOs could identify them.
That there was a significant pushback inside the FBI on this,
Soem because it was inappropriate to deploy the FBI politically, and others because the lack of coordination made this unsafe, and others because theis was NOT the appropriate role for the FBI.
BTW this does NOT count numerous FBI informants and CHS’s – this is JUST SWORN AGENTS.
There were over 1 million FBI agents. Everyone there was an FBI agent.
In fact, the entire event was computer generated graphics and didn’t happen.
There was no election and Obama is still President.
Man you are ignorant
“Estovir, Trump led an insurrection”
ROFL
Left Wing nuts trying to thwart – even murder ICE agents – is not an insurrection.
Unarmed Trump supporters protesting a fraudulent and lawless election at the Capital – which is Where you go to petition govenrment – that is an insurrection ?
” was convicted of multiple felonies.”
There is a long list of people left wing nuts have convicted on no or fraudulent evidence.
In November 2024 the largest Jury in existence vacated all those fraudulent convictions.
People do not believe you.
“Trump managed to lose a rape civil suit that should’ve been simple to beat had he not acted like a bully in court.”
So you are admitting the Jury did NOT decide based on the Evidence ?
“Therefore to imply that Trump is the innocent victim of devious plots against him is absolute bunk.”
This is not about Trump.
The article we are dealing with is about Platner – You introduced Trump.
Is Trump innocent ? Of the nonsense you accuse – correct.
Is he Naive – absolutely not.
You played dirty pool and he is hosting you by your own petard.
There is alot of conservative anger with Trump BECAUSE he is not more agressively Going after YOU.
You do not seem to understand that Trump punishing those who weaponized Govenrment against him is NOT about Him.
It is about the ordinary americans who are deeply concerned because YOU would do the same to them.
It is about the massive effort you put in to chase down prosecute and terrorizse people who did nothing more than protest at January 6th.
It is about the parents you went after for calling out school boards for allowing MTF Trans into girls locker rooms where they raped their daughters.
It is about prolife protestors that you prosecuted for protecting their children from left wing bullies at abortion clinics.
It is about Catholics that you spied on.
Millions of people – not all of them Trump supporters want consequences for this left wing nut vile and lawless conduct
Not because they give a schiff about Trump.
But because you have made it clear you will weaponize govenrment to go after anyone who speaks out against you.
Dems needed more masculinity and, well, here we are. He will be replaced ala the kamala-catastrophe or bernie-bumrush.
Trump ADMITTED he grabs women by their genitalia. E Jean Carroll testified about his sexual assault of her—- witness testimony IS evidence. And the jury believed her. Ivana Trump testified, in a deposition, before Trump settled with her and demanded a NDA, that he raped her when he was suffering from postoperative pain following scalp reduction surgery for baldness and she wasn’t sympathetic enough. Trump is a proven pathological liar. Now he’s trying to deny that he ever promised “no new wars”. He routinely insults women. He was best friends with a pedophile. So, yes, most of us believe the women and don’t believe Trump.
“Trump ADMITTED he grabs women by their genitalia. ”
False – while the Access Hollywood tape is crude lockerroom talk – it does NOT contain an admission by Trump that he sexually assaulted anyone.
“E Jean Carroll testified about his sexual assault of her—- witness testimony IS evidence. And the jury believed her”
Correct, but the judge errered repeatedly in allowing the case to go forward.
You can not make ancient allegations lacking sufficient substance for a defendant to defend themselves – that is a violation of due process.
Numerous similar claims against Trump (and manyh many many others) are dismissed all the time for failure to state a claim that can be properly evaluated.
No year, no month, no day. Further Carrol lied publicly and separately lied under oath in her deposition. These were NOT admitted into evidence by the judge.
The Credibility of a witness is ALWAYS admissible.
This was a kangaroo court. The Jury was NOT allowed to see all of the evidence.
“. Ivana Trump testified, in a deposition, before Trump settled with her and demanded a NDA, that he raped her when he was suffering from postoperative pain following scalp reduction surgery for baldness and she wasn’t sympathetic enough”
Incorrect – she made some claims in a divorce proceeding that she retracted later. This is Common. Independent of Divorce – local courts issue Protection from Abuse orders all the time as if the are candy – they have the operative effect of temporarily separating the parties – which is often a very good thing.
But they are NOT findings of fact or conclusions of law, many of them are perfectly true – most of them are shaded, and some of them are outright lies.
“Trump is a proven pathological liar.”
Yet so far all you offer is spin.
Obama Lied when he said “you can keep your insurance, and you can keep your doctor” he lied when he said we would be out of Irag and afghanistan in 90 days, He lied when he said he would close Gitmo.
– with respect to campaign promises Trump has done far better.

” Now he’s trying to deny that he ever promised “no new wars”.”
Because he did not.
“He routinely insults women.”
He insults lots of people – women are not entitled to special protection.
Universally he does not insult people until they insult him.
” He was best friends with a pedophile.”
You mean the guy he reported to the police and who he arrested and prosecuted until he committed suicide ?
” So, yes, most of us believe the women and don’t believe Trump.”
You need not beleive Trump.
Carrol simply is not credible.
She is a nutcase. She has accused over 80 men of raping her – in writing in her books – NONE of which were Trump.
OIn her interviews even she can not decide if she was raped, assaulted or had consensual sex – The jury was not allowed to see these.
Regardless the actual jury of the american electorate decided this and all the rest of your lawfare in the november 2024 election .
They decided they do not beleive you or Carrol.
“Trump ADMITTED he grabs women by their genitalia. “
We suppose you are a woman. Have you never touched male genitalia?
“We suppose you are a woman. Have you never touched male genitalia?”
She never did. All the men who knew her ran away too quickly.
And Gruppenfurhere PHustle as recently as yesterday day brushed it all off ….he’s that much of a narcissist.
You know what they found in the public toilets that Platner talked about using?
–salty remnants of Platner’s Peenits
Next thing you know platner will market a an oyster musk body wash called blue lagoon au de toilet. Being he cant make any money oyster farming and his $5k monthly govt VA check is surely not enough for his grandiose ideas of socialism and all that fake jazz.
Is criticism meant to discourage or encourage free speech?
Irrelevant question. It is part of free speech.
Criticism is part of the give-and-take in the marketplace of ideas. It is meant to point out errors in someone else’s speech, and then the other person can defend their speech or adjust their position to be superior to their previous position.
Speech in response to speech is not an end in itself but an essential process for arriving at truth, goodness, and things that make sense. Without which, society falls into ever deeper error. The emporer would have been better off if someone had told him he had no clothes before he went out in public.
One of the reason tyrants often lose conflicts is that the people around him are afraid to say anything that contradicts his position.
Emperor Trump fires anyone who disagrees with him. In any case, speech in response to speech is only good if all parties have facts to base their speech on and are not lying. Unfortunately Trump lies and the Republicans all back the lies.
Ahhh . I didn’t NOT have se…. with that women.
Keep trying ano
I did NOT My bad
“Emperor Trump fires anyone who disagrees with him.”
Not True, and not relevant.
” In any case, speech in response to speech is only good if all parties have facts to base their speech on and are not lying”
ROFL
Absolutely false. YOU do not get to decide what the facts are for anyone except you. You do not get to decide what is a lie for anyone but you.
With extremely few limits not relevant here, all speech is allowed, and each of us as individuals get to decide the merits of that speech.
YOU have concludedTrump is a liar – that is YOUR right. But you can not by force impose YOUR judgement on others or limit what others can say – because of your judgement.
You idiots rant about “no kings” but in EVERYTHING you say you act as if you have the power to decide everything for everyone else.
You do not even mask your allegedly benevolent dictatorship.
Helpful to read the Wikipedia article on the Skull and Crossbones insignia. It was first used by Hussars in 1711 and is currently part of the insignia of a USMC specialized unit.
Forget about the tattoo, write it off as martial fervor, it is unimportant.
Disregarding the tattoo doesn’t improve the portrait of Platner in the slightest.
David B. Benson regrets not being invited by the German scientists during the Nazi regime to partake in experiments using Carbon tripled bonded to Nitrogen to manufacture the pesticide Zykon B. Sure, it was used as a cyanide (C ≅ N ) agent by the Nazis to kill millions of people in their concentration camps, but Benson is only interested in its use as a pesticide.
Besides, the Nazis did a lot of good. Just ask any Democrat
Estovir, serious question. “Are you a daytime drinker?”
We ask because a high ratio of your, under ‘Estovir’ and all those other names convey a sense of mindless rage. Like some boring drunk desperate for attention.
^ ED (Estovir derangement). The other kind too. ^
HAHAHAHA. Ok Ano.
Who ever you are.
Stay away from mirrors.
I’s all D卐M☭CRATz do when their argument is failed , fling poo like zoo monkeys. So fatigued of this left ignorance.
Estovir is losing his mind, it appears.
Translation: David B. Benson is against moral relativism, even if he bathes in it liberally. Nothing unscientific or unsound about him!
Note to Benson’s ACLF nurses: up the Haldol dose stat.

Have you gone to India and Southeast Asia to castigate them for using the swastika all over the place?
Just because the Nazis stole symbols and plastered them on things is not a good reason to accept them with that meaning.
Gruppenfurher PHustle knew what that specific symbol was . You nor he is fooling anyone.
Phustle maybe at one time would have argued the mert of his tattoo with you…but know under pooblik scrutiny…he has it inked over and oddly no regrets. Because as he said one time at Croation band camp he got drunk and got it inked on….a tattoo that in that part of the world EVERYONE knew what it stood for , except PHustle if you dare to believe him.
The swastika was originally a symbol for good luck in Eurasia. So on that basis would you be willing to overlook that a political candidate got a swastika tattoo?
Also similarly by certain Indigeneous American tribal groups.
In two dimensions the swastika is a chiral symbol. The Nazi version points to the right. Many of the others point to the left. So confusing🤔
In a way the Alphabet Mafia is like the Nazis in having viciously and subversively stolen the rainbow symbol from everyone else.
Happy Pride to you to Old Fish.

Saw the Kinks long ago. They were OK. Ramones blew them out of the water. Joe Jackson rocked too.
A ridiculous designation for the month of June. You have fun flying your anal flag.
The non-heterosexual stole the rainbow from God. God is apparently good with that; has sent no prophets announcing plagues.
The Leprechauns on the other hand are not so keen on the rainbow theft…..
OldManFromKS,
Go to a cemetery in South Korea. You will see swastikas everywhere atop of grave stones.
Seen them on old temples and shrines in Japan.
Very true. But our radical progressive friends rarely read military history to any depth.
“Helpful to read the Wikipedia article on the Skull and Crossbones insignia. It was first used by Hussars in 1711 and is currently part of the insignia of a USMC specialized unit.”
You’re right, it is very helpful to read about the Skull and Crossbones insignia. However, I don’t think any of the skull and crossbones insignias of our United States Marine Corps Reconnaissance Battalions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps_Reconnaissance_Battalions) look even remotely like any one of the units from Nazi Germany (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totenkopf#Nazi_Germany). 🤷♂️
The specific tattoo – the TotenKopf is the emblem of the SS TotenKopf Panzer brigade.
There are myriads of skull and skull and crossbones insignias. My daughter has a fascination with Skulls and has lots of skull imagery.
I would further note that NO ONE – atleast until now – has Tried YOUR argument.
Why ? Because even Platen KNOWS the SPECIFIC Tattoo that he had – and there are photos. He was proud of it.
A better argument – which he failed to make is that it was typical Military bravada – that he was basically just tattooing “dont F#$K with me” on his chest.
After all he was a Marine for 8 years.
But that would require admitting that he KNEW what the tattoo meant.
I do not think that Platner is or was a Nazi.
But the tattoo is an excellent reason to question his sinceriety, his judgement and also to question whether he is a violent person.
The dozen or so women who have come forward are not only making allegations of marital infidelity and sexual assault – but just plain violence and efforts to control people by force.
Several of the allegations constitute crimes.
Nearly all the allegations are recent.
If Mill had not bowed out of the race there is little doubt that the DNC would have dropped Platner as they did Swallwell.
The very particular style in plattypus’s tattoo is the SS totenkopf symbol. Not the generic Panzer skull , but a particular to the SS only motif. PHustle knew this , and has zero shame for same. It’s just how D卐M☭CRATz are wired to lie and resist shame …party UBER ALLES and all that jazz is their motto.
Tom MacDonald got a point.

Since the outcome of the Maine Senatorial election may tip the balance of power in the Senate, MAGA and Trump are obsessing over Platner. Trump called him a “pig” ( how rich is that?), accused him of being the worst Senatorial candidate in history—forgetting, of course, about his support of Roy Moore, credibly accused of sexually assaulting underage girls and who was removed from the Alabama Supreme Court for refusing to comply with SCOTUS rulings. Then there’s Trump’s own sexual assault adjudication obtained by E Jean Carroll and the fact that Trump brags about sexually assaulting women and is credibly accused of sexually assaulting several other women. He was best friends with a notorious pedophile that Trump is still protecting. Does anyone seriously believe that Trump cares anything about any alleged victims? Trump has never expressed anything resembling empathy for the Epstein victims.
I wonder how much MAGA billionaires will pay to try to get women to make up lies about Platner? They’ll pay anything to keep those tax breaks and rolling back of consumer and environmental protections.
How about Susan Collins? She is a known quantity— mostly MAGA and mostly whatever Trump wants. Mainers are tired of her. Platner admits he went through a dark period after his military service in which he saw combat and is not denying most of the allegations against him, other than accusations of violence. He is seeking redemption, unlike Kavanaugh, who denied allegations of misconduct and who was protected against additional evidence from coming out by Republicans who cut off 25 witnesses who wanted to testify. Platner’s populist message is very dangerous to the MAGA Project 2025 agenda so we’re in for a long tough battle.
Platner has not been accused of anything as serious as the allegations against Trump, and he did serve his country—which is more than draft-dodging Trump was willing to do. MAGA knows he has a good chance of beating Collins and that’s why Turley is going to keep harping about Platner.
The EJ Carroll case looks like nonsense. Same with the 34 felonies.
Slow-walking the Epstein reveal is tangentially related to protecting a few rich and powerful players but it is primarily about protecting a most-favored nation. I can’t definitively prove that but that’s the way to bet.
oh here is our daily TDS Poorly Written Fictional Dump from a ranking Paid TDS Anon… how boring….
It’s Gigi posting from an insane asylum. MAGA MAGA MAGA blah blah blah. The same lunacy every day.
Look up Roy Moore and verify Trump’s support of him— then consider which one is the “pig” and the worst Senatorial candidate.
You’ve got to come up with some new material on Trump. In my opinion, Ms. Carroll is in need of treatment to regain her sobriety. Her handlers let her be interviewed — by Anderson Cooper, for example — when she is clearly not sober. This is cruel. This is what users do.
She can’t remember the year the alleged incident happened. She asks us to believe that Trump was just loitering in a high end women’s department store, waiting to assault some addled shopper in a dressing room. How did the assault work exactly. Did he rip off her clothes, as the sales lady hovered and asked if a different size was needed? Were all the other dressing rooms empty? Did no one hear her cries for help?
It was an abuse to fund her and amplify her and parade her broken self on national television shows. Just like the Dems did with broken down old Joe Biden. Bunch of users.
Heck. She can’t even remember what she was wearing that day. Or any spots on it. Unlike Clinton.
Feminazi and New York Times writer Jodi Kantor is the very personification of Rush Limbaugh’s “Feminism Hypothesis.”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Time Magazine interview with Rush Limbaugh, Oct. 25, 1992
Q. I know you’re not a hater, but don’t you think you come across as mean when you call feminists ugly women who can’t get dates?
A. No, it’s not mean. I once wrote a newspaper column when I was in Sacramento, and I said feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream. There is a profoundly held, truthful belief rooted in there that is, in my mind, compassionate and sympathetic to women. But you have to think about it yourself in order to get it.
Q. I’m thinking.
A. Because of the shallowness of our society and because of the biological differences in men and women, attractive women have an edge at the outset. They are the first noticed in social situations, and they are highly thought of in business situations. It’s just a fact. And in many cases attractive women have not had to prepare themselves as well intellectually because they’ve got these other things to rely on. Meanwhile you have women who don’t think they fit into the category of attractive, pretty, beautiful, whatever, who nevertheless are intelligent and bright and witty, and who have devoted themselves to education, and they care seriously about advancing through life as much as anybody else does. And they are just fed up that a bunch of bimbos are either married to high-profile people or are employed by high-profile people and they aren’t.
Q. So women go to law school because they’re ugly?
A. I’m not saying that. I’m saying feminism was established, that the idea was, “Goddammit, we’re going to have to have a political movement here to get what we’re entitled to because it’s not fair, we’re not getting it out there.”
In the Maine senate race, you have an authentically normal person for whom you can vote, Senator Collins. She seems to do her homework and make careful decisions, with good intentions.
Platner, by contrast, is having trouble faking being a measured person with rational positions long enough to win. Weird stuff keeps erupting. What are his real, actual positions on the issues? With Trump, you knew those. Yes, he has an intemperate personality like Platner,’s but you always knew Trump’s positions on the issues. They haven’t changed much.
What are Platner’s? He’s meajlymouthing them. All things to all people style.
Platner’s handlers may end up deciding, Let Platner be Platner. He can’t be anything else. In this strategy, they would have let him be honest and upfront about his actual positions. He is a bad mealymouther. He can’t Spanburger his way through, and only after elected show his true colors.
Voters can deal with a boor, if they like his positions. Trump has taught us that. And Platner is having trouble being a phony. He should stop trying.
Yeah, we can expect Trump to pander to the very stupidest people. And Planter aspires to emulate that formula.
And Planter (sic) aspires to….
X, you will never get a fraction of the attention that Platner (not Planter) receives, despite you being more stupid than a potted plant.
🤣🤣🤣
It’s Gruppenfurher PHustle to you !.
Look who elected the half brain dead biden. (stupidest people)
Platners positions,
1. How to please yourself in a port-o-potty
2. Sexting while married
3. Nazi tats
4. Homophobe, antisemitic and misogynist slurs 101
5. How to manhandle and slightly kidnap women
6. Showing up drunk to a womans house when she told you not to, a self study guide, BYOB
Is that the latest MAGA spin? That’s the best you can do? Platner’s sincerity is clicking with Maine voters. Susie Collins has Parkinson’s, which makes it difficult for her to speak, and she is anything but careful with her voting record. She is mostly pro-MAGA, and succumbs to pressure from Republicans—which voters don’t like. Maine voters want someone to stand up to Trump and Project 2025. Maine voters want a change and regardless of Platner’s past dark period following his combat service, he is seeking redemption and the promises he is making to Maine voters are resonating. That’s why MAGA is so afraid of him.
Senator Collins research is into how long she can hold a position before caving and doing what she said she would not do.
>>”What are his real, actual positions on the issues? With Trump, you knew those. Yes, he has an intemperate personality like Platner,’s but you always knew Trump’s positions on the issues. They haven’t changed much.”
TRUMP: “We’ve been in the Middle East for 15 years, and we haven’t won anything. We’ve spent 5 trillion dollars in the Middle East with thinking like that. We’ve spent $5… 5 trillion dollars all over the — we have to rebuild our country. We have to rebuild our infrastructure. You listen to that, you’re going to be there for another 15… You’ll end up with World War III…”

Abschiebe-Hansa
Der Osten Machts!
Sommer, Sonne, Remigration!
– AfD
________
Literal Translation: Deportation-Hansa – The East is getting it done! – Summer, sun, remigration!
This slogan was prominently featured on AfD election posters during state parliament election campaigns in eastern Germany (such as Thuringia and Brandenburg). The visual design of the posters typically features a passenger airplane.
JAWOHL!
The question yet unanswered remains: is there redemption from being a reprehensible sack of moral and ethical turpitude? Mainers will provide it in November. It may just turn out to be another Michael Jackson moment of no consequence to the psychofans amongst us.
Has Kantor committed a crime by writing what she wrote?
That’s the standard? Nobody is allowed to criticize anyone else’s positions unless they commit a crime by writing them down? Are you really that much of an idiot?
It would encourage more free expression, which is what it’s all about, so I heard. It is also in the spirit of brainstorming.
Some criticism is just wanton sadism which produces no solutions at all. There is nothing constructive to it at all.
Jodi Kantor just invented a tiered abuse registry. Classic MeToo. And the store-brand knockoff. She put herself in charge of the grading scale. The rule appears simple. Allegations against the right enemy are disqualifying. Allegations against the right ally are “pretty different.” This is not journalism. It is product management.
We were told for years that character matters, abuse matters, and women should be believed regardless of politics. Now we’re informed that some allegations are “classic” and others are apparently substitutes.
Flip the jersey. Would Kantor go on CNN to explain the taxonomy if the party labels were reversed? Would she reassure viewers that allegations of arm-twisting, physical confinement, and a Nazi tattoo were not the right kind of allegations? Would she describe a woman’s account of being locked in a room overnight as mostly “being his boyfriend gave me a view into him and I did not like what I saw”?
The answer is not complicated. MeToo was a claim that character and conduct matter. Kantor is not walking that back. She is auctioning it off. The price is a Senate seat in Maine.
Principles that bend for power were never principles. They were positioning.
A timeline of Graham Platner’s controversies during his Senate campaign

So she shouldn’t have a right to write what she writes because the free speech lovers here don’t like what she writes?
Wrong.
She has the 1stA right to write whatever she wants.
And by her writing, she proves to the rest of us how she will change her stance on #metoo because Platner is a Democrat.
Then the View’s Sunny Hostin proves to us how flexible she is concerning the #metoo movement if it means gaining power.
True. I’m sick of people defending her because of her right to free speech, but she has no right not to be criticized for her speech. That’s the beauty of the First Amendment. We all have the freedom to speak without the government abridging that right. And power is everything to them.
Oh, and I applaud for both Kantor and Hostin to speak their minds and let us know exactly the kind of character they are.
Would you prefer that they not have that kind of character?
They can have any kind of character they want or choose to. That is all them.
Just lets us and all the other women out there know what that is.
I looked closely at the 1st Amendment again…nope… nothing about not being allowed to criticize anyone’s speech.
What is the purpose of criticizing it? To make it stop?
That’s the standard? Nobody should write anything down unless their purpose is to make the thing they write about stop? Are you really that much of an idiot?
She can write whatever the heck she wants. The First Amendment gives her the right to do so, but doesn’t require that one agree with her or not point out her blatant, sickening hypocrisy. Quite honestly, she and her ilk like Schumer and Warren make me sick with their win-at-any-cost approach to politics. Beware the Jacobins.
This kantor is just a piece of sh*t!!
Formidable foe?
