We have a huge population of mentally ill people in this country and some of them take statements like the presidents literally. That's what some of you just don't get.

The usual, one nut represents the whole of the Right but ten thousand nuts do not represent the left...

OP bought it, hook, line and sinker.

Confirmation bias is a birch.

(My feeling is that as he had reached his arm around them, no telling their size, he pressed against a part of them, unintentionally. Then depending upon the type of female, had made a weak claim about).

I've just never been able to equate his supposed actions with others who had claims made against them during that same period. I am a female and supportive of women experiencing any actual incidents by men, of which there are many, but believe that what occurred for Al Franker was a confused mess during a heightened period in which he was mistakenly included (though, should not have even posed that way over a sleeping female, as a joke).

As a real man though, he resigned over this, unlike another who has been accused of performing worse acts than described in this airplane story, upon sleeping women or sitting next to in a club, or just taking whatever he wanted from a woman at any time, having had several believable accusations of. (It helps that the "Access Hollywood recording" supports his admitted intent of same behavior).

More BS from the left. If they are so confident that the majority of Americans believe Trump is unfit, why are they scrambling so frantically to accuse him of anything they can think of?

GTBTP didn't work to hurt Trump in the first election. It won't work in midterms. It won't work in 2020. Leftists Dems are living in the past.

They are desperate and I am enjoying it.

Is this guy a famous (infamous) billionaire?
No?
Then he cannot compare himself to trump, and he can't get away with what trump talked about.
Keep in mind that what someone (not just trump) talks about and actually does may be entirely different. Apparently, this guy didn't just talk, he did the deed. Trying to use the "Trump Defense" is simply stupid!

Remember the sailor who tried to use "The Hillary Defense" when he was brought up on charges for taking unauthorized pictures in a secure area? That didn't work for him, either.

Well Trump's quote included language about the women letting him do it, implying consent. If this guy is getting into legal trouble over it then I'm guessing the woman in question didn't let him do it. If you're going to live your life by sensationalized presidential quotes, I'd suggest following the entire quote.

Yep. Trump was pointing out the willingness of some women to "sell themselves" for money, fame, position.

Even the crass Ashley Judd made the comment concerning Harvey Weinstein as she was running out the door after turning him down, "maybe after I win an Oscar".
