    Journalists need to bring back the good old art of monstering.

    Do you have bite scars on your penis, Mr. President!?

    Show us your penis, Mr. President!

      The only time someone asks to see his penis is for court proceedings.

      Times certainly have changed, he used to get asked to see his penis after promising to pay someone but now they all know you need to get the cash from him first.

    Question:
    How can a person who has these type of documents and accusations about them ever be allowed to run for any type of political position? Let alone become the president of a country (twice)?

      It’s because legally, having a criminal record doesn’t disqualify you from running. There isnt anything preventing this. Most likely its to help prevent a minor mishap from long ago condemning your future abilities (otherwise, you’d have all sorts of small charges against every politician to destroy their career. It would make the worst blackmail material).

      Now, morally why did enough people vote for him anyway is a whole different issue that I don’t have an answer for.

        It’s also so that someone can’t weaponize law enforcement on their political opponents. So let’s say you’re president. You come after me on a bogus charge. I’ve now got a record. I can no longer run against you.

        Morally, I agree entirely.

        I know loads of adults with no “minor mishaps.” It’s not just normal to have a criminal record, they had no reason to do that. They just assumed no one was dumb enough to vote for criminals

      Good portion of people don’t give a shit.

      I’ve spend the past three years trying to get people to investigate the sexual and physical abuse of children in Oklahoma, including some child trafficking. No one cares or wants to do anything about it. More people than we want to admit are okay with children being raped and abused as long as they are a certain type of child (foster kids usually.)

    While I fully support justified defensive violence against dick biters, I’d appreciate even more Trump using this defense in a trial over the incident.

      Hey now. We don’t elect women with a strong and documented history showing good judgement, ethics or moral character; and instead we try to find problems with them so that we can retroactively justify throwing away a vote and really a country on some no-name no-chance third party gamble. Bonus points if they married or were VP to a -± gasp -± imperfect president already.

      It’s just the American way.

        My biggest problem with Hillary Clinton’s presidential run is that the DNC put their finger on the scales for her. She did not earn it, she was not owed it. The air of entitlement the entirety of the Democratic leadership showed was shameful, especially for a party named after popular votes.

        It’s a very transparent corruption tool. When Trump was elected, he and his ghouls went around with the hat to get “donations” from all of the large companies. Especially the ones in big tech donated huge amounts for what turned out to be a very sad inauguration ceremony. After Trump gifted all of them huge tax benifits and removing restrictions and regulations, the time had come for the hat to go around again. But you can’t just donate directly to the president, then even the dumbest of the dumb would cry foul. So like the shitty landlord Trump has always been he destroyed part of the White House and announced plans for a huge new construction project. This allowed all of the assholes to once again “donate” to this project. A project that has caused a lot of damage to a monument in order to “own the libs” and had raked in millions in donations, but has done little else. All of this money is being pocketed by Trump and his goons.

        As with many terrible things, it’s all out in the open and yet America does nothing. Checks and balances indeed.

          It’s called “Money Laundering” and the Real Estate Developer version of it is one of the few things that Trump is actually an expert at. Because at his core, he’s a criminal.

    Literal victims being victimized doing more to punish Epstein associates than the US Govt.

      They don’t call it child rape, they call it sex with women who at the time were underage. Something like that.

        For this one, they won’t even call it that. “It can’t be sex without penetration” or something like that.

        “Gather around, little ones, it’s time for great-grandma to tell the story of how she tried to chew off the president’s dick…”

        “Aww, this is my favorite Christmas tradition.”

        “She won a medal for it, y’know?”

        “Of course I do, I’ve been hearing the story since I can remember. It’s evolved a bit over the years. It got pretty gory for a while, but the grown-ups reigned that in. Now we’re lucky if she stays awake for the whole story.”
