Robin Meade is going to start developing a complex over the fact that all the guys want to grab other girls' asses, but not hers. What is she? Chop liver? :smoke:

The best thing the Trumpmeister could do now is own up to some kind of compulsive grope syndrome and talk about how it's a sickness which people are helping him with. Snatchophilliacs Syndrome or something.

I'm sure he's do that as soon as Hillary tells us what's up with her seizures.

Limbaugh said the story could not be true because the armrest could not be moved. Our dodo agreed. Both are factually in the wrong. The allegation cannot be dismissed on account of the armrest being fixed for the simple reason that it was not fixed. I thought this has become abundantly clear to all - including you - by now.

You believe it has been established that the armrest on the airplane at issue was not fixed?

How big are these arm rests? Will they stop a boob squeeze? Will they stop you getting your cock out or protect against vinegar-stroke splashback? Do the engineering constraints of airplane armrests mean that Trump cannot be a serial groper?

Melania confused about locker room talk.

A man would never talk that way to the woman. At the appropriate moment, he would simply pounce.

All the guys end up there eventually. Trump just practiced premature groping.

On Monday, just over three weeks before election day, the Republican nominee repeated his unsupported claim that voter fraud was rampant and specifically stated in a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin that ballots cast by illegal immigrants led to Barack Obama’s victory in North Carolina in 2008. “People who died 10 years ago are still voting,” he claimed.

Trump’s Wisconsin appearance came after a series of provocative tweets culminating on Monday morning when he wrote: “Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!” Never before has a major presidential candidate in effect rejected the results before the election has been held.

No doubt if he's elected he'll say that he managed to eradicate all election fraud by the power of Greyskull, or something

What this encourages is the very real prospect of massive violence by his frustrated and deluded followers when Hillary romps home...

Indeed, it forelays an excuse to dispute, and perhaps even to actively seek to undermine, the foundational principles of America's robust, non-partisan democratic system, and on little more than the fact that a small but vocal minority might not get the result they think they are entitled to.

Either way, Trump is actively campaigning on this now.

The notion of someone groping another person in first class of an airliner with 14 or 16 first class seats, all of which are open to view of every other passenger in first class, which was apparently full, because she had to flee to the back of the plane to find another seat.

So, 13 or 14 passengers were in the room and Trump just, out of nowhere, started feeling this lady up. Her reaction caused no alarm. When she told the flight attendant that this guy was feeling me up, they just shrugged and told her she had to sit in the back of the plane? Really?

I've sat in first class cabins, and there is almost always a flight attendant right there, if not more than one. Cabin crew are in and out and past the seats every few minutes. They watch the cabin closely, because people get drinks and food and stuff up there that the regular passengers don't get. There has to be someone there to respond immediately to the high paying passenger's requests.

Now, I wasn't there. I don't know what happened. But, if the allegation is that 30 something years ago, someone groped someone else in the full first class cabin of an airplane in full view of the cabin crew and flight attendants, I think it's fairly reasonable to be skeptical, a bit.
