So 3 Women Say That Donald Trump Has Been A Naught Boy In Sexual Groping Etc....

[DTCwordfan]

Are we surprised?

Any comments to him?

BBC intermediate news at 9 the source.

[emmie]

no surprise at all.

[youngmafbog]

When it is proved and it is worse than Bill Clinton - come back.

All this historical sexual accusation is becoming very tiresome. It has killed a couple of people in the UK and it is totally wrong. It is very clear in some cases that it is a simply politically motivated smear campaign. Given the Left's extraordinary anti-Trump attacks it is difficult to know whether or not this is just yet another. Time will tell I guess.

JFK was a prolific seducer yet that is rarely mentioned these days.. he was considered one of the best Presidents America ever had,

Can Trump possibly win in 2020 assuming the FBI don't come for him first?
In 1912 Teddy Roosevelt scuppered William Taft

It's not Trumps attitude towards certain women that the anti-Trumpers are really concerned about, after all what male of such power can be innocent of such acts amongst the females that surround them.
No truth known it is his attitude towards Islam, that really gets their backs up.

YMB....once in a while we seem to agree, and its nice when it happens ! But on this issue, it isn't going to happen.

"All this historical sexual accusation is becoming very tiresome"

Really ? Tiresome !

Would you said that about Savile?

Perhaps that when these events happened, it was a bit more than tiresome to the victims.

Pigeons are coming home to roost, whether its politicians like Trump, or people like Weinstein and Spacey....if they are proved to be guilty, then so be it....perhaps they should have thought about their behaviour at the time.

[ichkeria]

... by standing as the alternative Republican candidate ...
It is very easy to see the same thing happening again (tho not with Roosevelt, obviously)

[naomi24]

Mikey's slavering in anticipation again. :o)

[youngmafbog]

So you are happy for people to be openly accused - and effectively found guilty by the Media then are you Mickey. You are hay for people (not found guilty) to die are you?

I have been right all along, we no longer have trial by Jury it is now trial by media (social) and Mickey.

It's a pity some of these people didnt come out when it happened and tangible proof could be found. Coming out now, in some cases, just smacks of opportunism especially with some of the quite frankly bizarre accusations.

[youngmafbog]

It would appear so Naomi.

[mikey4444]

YMB...perhaps those victims felt that they wouldn't be believed, in the same way that you are guilty of now ?

Trump has proven himself to be a misogynist and a sexist by his comments in the past, and yes, probably Clinton as well.

But what you are inferring is that as long as enough time has gone by, its no longer acceptable for the victims to make any complaints.

Just as it was with Savile I presume ?

[naomi24]

Mikey, //perhaps those victims felt that they wouldn't be believed//

... or perhaps they now, after all these years, have an agenda - just as you do. Just a thought.

[albaqwerty]

have there been any court cases yet re. Weinstein/Spacey and others?

An accusation years ago may have been swept under the carpet, but as there is now social media etc, one person mentioning about improper behaviour against another, might mean that others who had contact with the accused will feel brave enough to speak out as well.

(happens to men as well as women)

[youngmafbog]

You seem to have ignored my main questions to you. I shall ask again:

Are you happy for people to be openly accused - and effectively found guilty by the Media?

Are you for people (not found guilty) to die?

All I am saying is that in some cases it seems very opportunistic and that some of the accusations e.g. touching knees are quite ridiculous and mask people who did have real issues such as rape.

In addition these historical accusations do not take account of how things were at the time. We have moved forward very fast (not a bad thing sometimes) but that has meant that living people may of done things that were acceptable years ago but are not acceptable now.

[ummmm]

Sexual abuse is taboo and embarrassing. Once one person comes forward others find the confidence to follow their lead.

[youngmafbog]

Alba, yes that can be true and the Police have used it in the past as prt of their lazy Policing.

However, as we have seen in number of instances, it alos brings out the nutters, charletons and chancers (those looking for a quick buck on the compo train).

In addition too many people assume that because it is on Twitface it is true. Laws regarding defamation seem to not be good enough anymore with regard to Social Media.

The real danger of this change is two fold:
1) Those falsely accused suffer immensely loosing careers, jobs money marriages in in some cases their lives.
2) All these ridiculous accusations from the band wagon hoppers detract from the real serious cases that should be looked into, by that I mean rape/paedophilia etc.

[mikey4444]

Naomi...nice to see you defending the abusers, and not supporting the victims, who are mostly women !

[naomi24]

Mikey, if you read my posts instead of making assumptions you’ll see I’m not defending anyone. As you know I think Trump is a flash git. I’m simply asking why now after all these years? Doesn’t it strike you as strange that suddenly all these people are crawling out of the woodwork? Seems to me if they can’t bring him down one way, they’ll try whatever they think might succeed. ‘Fair means or foul’ might suit you, but personally I find nothing admirable in that.

[youngmafbog]

Come on mickey, answer my questions.

[anotheoldgit]

How times are changing, once a wandering hand from a man, would be firmly knocked down by the female, and the man knew where he stood until the next time he tried and then with a bit of luck it might be more acceptable.

Seems like marriage these days when it is wise to draw up a Post-nuptial agreement, very soon it will be wise to get a written and signed agreement that one's 'advances' are agreeable, so there is no comeback in the years ahead.

What has happened to 'ROMANCE'?
