WASHINGTON—In response to the 15 individuals who have come forward alleging sexual misconduct by the president, Donald Trump reportedly dismissed his accusers Tuesday as women. “Anyone can see that these disgraceful and false allegations are clearly coming from total, utter women,” said Trump, adding that those claiming he groped, fondled, and forcibly kissed them “absolutely know that they’re female” and that “everyone else knows they are, too.” “These are obvious women we’re dealing with, okay? Each and every one of them. It’s a shame that anyone can be such an undeniable woman and just get away with it.” Trump went on to say that many of the people supporting his accusers had no credibility either because they’re just as much women as the accusers themselves.

The man in question has been sued for sexual harassment over an episode that allegedly included dropping his trousers to waggle his erect penis at a woman who held a $6.35-an-hour clerical job in the state government over which he presided. Another woman has charged that when she asked him for a job he invited her into his private office, fondled her breasts, and placed her hand on his crotch. A third woman confided to friends that when she was a 21-year-old intern she began an affair with the man—much older, married, and the head of the organization whose lowliest employee she was. Actually, it was less an affair than a service contract, in which she allegedly dashed into his office, when summoned, to perform oral sex on him. After their liaison was revealed, he denied everything, leaving her to be portrayed as a tramp and a liar. Or, in his own words, “that woman.”

Let us not even mention the former lover who was steered to a state job; or the law-enforcement officers who say the man used them to solicit sexual partners for him; or his routine use of staff members, lawyers, and private investigators to tar the reputation of any woman who tries to call him to account for his actions.

With very few exceptions, feminists were either silent or dismissive this time. “If anything, it sounds like she put the moves on him,” said Susan Faludi, author of Backlash. Betty Friedan weighed in, but only to huff her outrage that Clinton’s “enemies are attempting to bring him down through allegations about some dalliance with an intern…. Whether it’s a fantasy, a set-up or true, I simply don’t care.”

Trump is the Republican Bill Clinton, without the rape, the flights to the underage girl orgy island, and the feminist apologists.

Bill, oh him. He’s got a library. I think he was president. Trump will never get a library. Maybe a wax museum at a casino.

Oh, Trump will get a library. It'll be the biggest library, with the most and best books -- it'll be yuuuge -- a big, beautiful library, and it will be built at half the cost, in half the time.

Donald J. Trump refurbished the Central Park -skating rink two and a half months ahead of his own speedy six-month schedule and $750,000 below his own projected $3 million budget, having taken over the project after the city spent six years and $12 million unsuccessfully trying to get the job done.

''I don't really care about Trump's ego or the attention he's grabbing,'' said George Rinaldi, a skater at the rink, who echoed the sentiments of many others. ''It's a great rink and he is a great man. Anybody who can get anything done right and done on time in New York is a bona fide hero. He should get a ticker-tape parade.''

Skaters yesterday stopped to profusely thank Mr. Trump. They asked if he was going to skate. ''No thanks,'' the flamboyant developer said. ''There are too many people who would like to see me fall on my rear end.''

I wouldn't recommend calling out his ego regarding a library....

Bill's impropriety doesn't mitigate, offset, or otherwise legitimise Donald's. Those who think otherwise are merely being drawn into excusing behaviour and attitudes most of us find abhorrent and repulsive.

Of course not, but the outrage of persons against Donald's alleged improprieties is somewhat hollow given most of their attitudes toward Bill's (which improprieties were far worse, far nearer in time, and some actually occurring while in the white house, and far more substantiated by evidence). Trump's "alleged improprieties" are more bluster and locker room talk, and certain old and unprovable allegations, like the lady who says she was sexually assaulted in broad daylight in the first class cabin of a commercial airliner in flight while the cabin crew and flight attendants were within earshot, eyeshot and walking around serving the passengers...

Heck, it took 20 years just to get Bill's impropriety called impropriety. Generally speaking, the media portrayed it as personal behavior that had nothing to do with his job as President.

Times change, and the public mood with it - as both Donald and Bill are finding out.

Sean Spicer brutally mocked for mistaking Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ for a book of seasonal songs

While some users wondered whether this was a Spicer parody account, it is the same Instagram account that he has linked to in the past from his verified Twitter account.

You don't expect anyone in the Trump administration to know A Chritmas Carol do you?

The book's about them.

Net neutrality repealed.

Heh! Remember when Trump told his lambs he was going to "drain the swamp"?

I remember.

[Seabass]

16% of Americans approve of this. 83% of Americans support net neutrality. I think it's time to downgrade the US again from "flawed democracy" to whatever is below that.
