it's clear that, factually, he has committed a string of sex attacks

These may seem like clear facts to someone who approaches every new piece of evidence dead-set on using it to incriminate Trump. But to an objective observer, it's clear that many of these 'facts' are nothing more than shoddy supposition. You don't care about justice, you just want to see Trump burn. Frankly, it's a disgrace to the real victims of sexual assault to be associated with this type of farce.
We're not talking about a rich and well connected man with no history of bragging about this shit, we're not talking about someone who has never had women coming forward for at least 20 years worth of stories you can find on the internet--which isn't really surprising given the state of the internet at that time--talking about him doing this to them, but it sounds like you are trying to talk about that guy.

If the Dalai Lama was recorded saying he likes to grab women by the pussy, and then women came forward saying a man who is supposed to be the incarnation of the buddha of compassion had done this to them... pointing out that we're talking about the Dalai Fucking Lama here is a good reason to ask what the hell is going on before we start damning the dude.

Trump is the incarnation of pudgy sheltered rich boys who are used to getting what they want, he's the fucking avatar of their god, "glory to the Trump" they say "if that disgusting looking bastard can bang models, there is hope for us all!" before they light an effigy of him composed out of $100 bills on fire.


Speaking of backstage, anybody here know any strippers outside of the club? This is a job where being ogled is kinda important. Know who is allowed backstage? Strippers only, know who is allowed to touch who? They can touch you, that's it. Know why this stuff is specified in signs in various places around the clubs? This is a place where it is considered likely that customers might go too far, so they keep reminding them how far they can go, and what will happen if they cross that line.

Funny idea though, huh, that women and men who are going out on stage intending to wind up nude have a specific area of the building where they can change in and out of clothes without the manager just busting in "ok ladies, let's see how everythings lookin' today" because "hey, I own the joint" or whatever.

Crazy that there might be a different power dynamic between a stripper up on a stage with customers down around it, vs some changing backstage with their employer walking in.

Is it ok for the manager of "Jigglebitties" or "Rod and Tackle" to walk backstage, head into the dressing rooms, and just kinda take in the sights, even knowing they've probably seen literally every inch of those in there?

Huh, I'm gonna say no, because those rooms are put there for a bit of privacy and somewhere to get ready or wind down without having to perform.

So why is there any sort of issue understanding why a pageant or whatnot, which doesn't require being nude for customers, might expect at least the same level of privacy for the dressing room?

We will only have stability when Toady finally cracks and holds moderator elections. The winners will be myself, maniac, and LW. They will ban each other, I will ban the survivors, Toady will ban me.

All will return to zero.
I am officially tossing my hat into the ring for the moderator elections.

I promise that I will never abuse my authority, and I will rain down fire on all who oppose me in a fair and balanced manner.

Trump is working his hardest to make people forget about the sexual assault thing. And it's working.

We're all here talking about November 28th and Nuclear Warming instead of about the multiple women who've come out since the tape thing saying he assaulted them. Trump's main tactic is derailment rather than reining things in or releasing apology statements, so it makes sense that the more shit he's in, the more desperate he is to change the topic, so he starts mouthing off even more unbelievable shit.

It could be an example of behavior that's always worked for him in the past, so he's continuing it now, except now when you're running for president, people tend to track what you've said much more closely than before. The same thing happened to Herman Cain with his "a great poet once said" thing.

I'm probably slow at this, but Trump's latest outbursts could be signs of his narcissism. Narcissists live on attention, but they are thin skinned against criticism. You'd think being a narcissist would make a good politician, but not really. A president needs to be poised and confident. Narcissists seek attention to shore up a lack of inner confidence.

Trump is acting the clown now, because he's happy to be "Trump the goofy class clown", getting attention for the silly things he says - especially since being non-intellectual can actually be a positive - rather than universally scorned as "Trump the sleazy rapist".

You're thinking egotist.

Narcissists could give less of a shit what other people think; they love themselves just fine.

No like seriously please don't conflate the two. Humor me on this.

The term you're looking for is "histrionic".

Spoiler: "nuclear warming"??? (click to show/hide)
Who, what, and - above all the holy webhosts - why is that even an image???

(ETA: Even with the most wasteful alternate text encoding schema, that's nearly 200 times more data than necessary, and I still don't know which of various possible nutjobs said it...  (This is a rant from someone who used dial-up before the millenium, obviously it means nothing to anybody these days.))

Linkage to whereever he said that? He seems to have somehow confused 'Nuclear Winter' with 'Global Warming'

If it were anyone else... I'd assume "Nuclear warming" would be some sort of phrase about people becoming more comfortable with the idea of using nukes against people.

But I... don't think nuclear bombs have had a significant impact on our weather.

Not in terms of direct heating (that I know of), but the fallout can cause nuclear winter as it blocks the sun.
Which you probably know, just saiyan.

It probably requires hundreds or even thousands of nukes all at once to do that. Obviously one or two, or three a year (during the nuclear testing period) doesn't have an effect on global temperatures At least no more than a large volcanic eruption would.

You can see a video on wapo here. And I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have been conflating something with global warming considering his previous comments on the subject.

That would explain his extremely poor vocabulary, run-on sentences and overall lack of coherent thought...

but who would be evil enough to release something like Trump into public?
