Keep in mind that he’s getting raked over the coals by someone who’s tolerated, if not been outright chummy with, murderous scum like Assad and Kissinger. That’s how obnoxious Biff has always been.
She also seems to have no problem with the sexual abuse of children that happens perpetually in Hollywood, as evidenced by her interview with Corey Feldman:
She’s not a good person, either; but it goes without saying that 45 is far worse.
This is actually a teachable moment for people in the media. Notice how the morbidly obese impeached Russian puppet immediately asks who said this; who said that…
The popular vote loser always does this when confronted with a contradiction: he needs to conjure a straw man to attack, so he immediately demands who the individual is behind the contradiction. The inbred son of a Klansman cannot match you with facts or reasoning, so he resorts to ad-hominem. He’s been doing it for years (and happily for him, such attacks are red meat to Americans seeking to shirk their civic duty).
But notice too—when you dodge him with general citations he becomes increasingly aggravated. When aggravated, the accused pedophile often blurts out things that horrify the responsible members of his base. I highly recommend this kind of parlay with him as way to remind voters just how unhinged ol’ 45 really is.
That “No they’re not” at the end of the clip - that needs to be automatically inserted every time Trump says “people are saying”
Can we stop with the “how much money he has?” it doesn’t fucking matter!!! Having wealth can be a sign of intelligence and success but the overwhelming majority of the time it isn’t a sign of anything other than inheritance and luck.
Oof. Good catch.
In her view when the lights are on her, damaging an entire industry is more critical than damaging children’s lives
Corey Feldman was probably groomed by Michael Jackson who was groomed by Bobby Taylor and so it goes…but they’re the money makers and as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
I hope this is the next chapter of calling these creeps out… but will it drive them deeper into their trash heaps?
I would argue that the economy is so rigged in favor of the wealthy that you have to actively do stupid things to become poor.
I think it’s clear the “people” in Trump’s “people are saying” are Donald Trump, Donald Trump and his friend Donald Trump.
“The shuttle is doing very well…”
The airline ran out of cash and defaulted on its debt in September 1990
“Marla Maples is a friend of mine, I have a lot of other friends…”
Maples was the second wife of Donald Trump. They married in 1993 and divorced in 1999
I could on deconstructing the lies, but why bother. We know this is who he is, and always has been.
Feldman maintains that Jackson was not one of the celebs who molested him.
Still, the point is that Baba Wawa is not “a good and decent person” either, even though she saw right through 45’s bullshit 30 years ago… broken clocks are correct twice a day.
I trust that Feldman is telling the truth… but he can’t speak for those potential kids who may be keeping quiet about their own experiences.
It matters because it’s a huge part of the narrative that got him in office. “I’m a brilliant businessman” and “I am so rich I won’t be beholden to anyone” were supposed to be the primary reasons Americans were asked to put their faith behind a candidate who had no track record of public service whatsoever.
Take away that baseless narrative and all you have left is a creepy sexist racist conman.
I don’t deign to speak for anyone else; my point was solely about BW’s apparent morality deficiency, not meant to derail the current topic at hand.
Was in neck deep there. Thanks for snapping me out of it.
He…has…never…had…a…job.
