I'll say it with great respect

No, no, Donald. "Respect" is absent from your world.

"She's not my type."

So....... if she was your type, you would have??

15 ( +21 / -6 )

This. Is. Not. Normal.

10 ( +18 / -8 )

Then: *"When you're a star, you can do anything. Grab 'em by the p***y."

Now: *"I wouldn't rape her. She's not my type."*

Clinton looks like a choirboy compared to Trump.

Where are the neocons to tell us this is normal pc way of speaking? I guess if she was his "type", he would have admitted to raping her then?

11 ( +17 / -6 )

Number two, it never happened. It never happened, OK?" Trump said in the interview, which was conducted in the Oval Office.

The president added that Carroll was "totally lying" when she made her claims.

"I know nothing about this woman. I know nothing about her," he said.

Didn't he say the same thing about Stormy Daniels, the other model, and grab them by the &&%% video? How will the God-fearing Republicans once again explain their support?

Dump thinking to himself: Let's distract the media from accusation with a war in Iran! Or, I'll meet Kim again and talk about immigrants! OK, it is time for another campaign rally. I got keep everyone entertained!

Funny how his denial is so crass it just reinforces the impression that he is a serial rapist.

10 ( +17 / -7 )

Oh, give me a break.

Go watch Anderson Cooper's interview of the accuser and tell me how credible she sounds, and how self-righteous you all still feel for bashing Trump on this.

Cooper basically cut her off when it was apparent she's just some wingnut,

LOL, this guy, too classic.

You can have sex with someone and they may not be your type, come on now. Lol

Regardless, you're now supporting a man who thinks the first step in raping someone is judging whether the victim is one's "type" or not. Its not, by the way.

She accused Trump of doing something he was caught boasting about on tape, about doing it to multiple women.

So excuse me if it hurts your feelings , but we do feel self-righteous.

Of course you can, otherwise nobody would have sex with Trump. But Trump said you can't rape someone if they aren't your type. This is false. Rape is about control and anger, not just physical attraction. Any adult with half a brain would know this...

I am sure all the escort services use a thorough match-making process before letting customers use their service.

Trump who claims to know more about science than anyone else probably uses AI to choose the ideal escort.

Hmmmm...but if she said, he’s not her type, that’s ok, right?

Yea, a little thing called money helps guys who can't do it on their own sometimes.

Ah, the age old conundrum that no one seems to be able to figure out. Look, its very simple. If you don't have evidence you can't prove a thing. She said this but he says that. No witnesses just accuser and accused trading words. Its an impasse. The only way to choose is with your personal biases. I refuse. I hate Trump, but I refuse. America needs to stop allowing time to be wasted on rubbish like this. Trump is a horrible president in a string of them and we need to focus on his provable performance that is not in the best interest of the American people to get him out. Or better yet, focus on the positives of an upcoming candidate and have a decent president for once this century...like someone who doesn't terrorize civilians with remote control death machines...or bomb them.

-1 ( +4 / -5 )

Seems the "victim" can't even remember what year the alleged attack took place. This doesn't exactly lend credibility to her story. Not to mention the salacious details that defy logic. Sorry, not convinced.

-2 ( +6 / -8 )

Huh? He's the one accused of rape. Not her.

That is not what I asked, my question was she has the right to say it, but he doesn’t?

Are you really that confused about this?

Uhhhh...NOT me, really, not me!

Yea, a little thing called money helps guys who can't do it on their own sometimes.

For some people, perhaps.

-8 ( +3 / -11 )

I believe Trump. Unfortunately, it has reached a point where if a loser was once in the same room with a person who later becomes famous/successful, the loser considers the famous person as their meal ticket.

-6 ( +5 / -11 )

Not to mention the salacious details that defy logic. Sorry, not convinced.

I think its less about being convinced and more about the attitude. Regardless of whether he did or not, he admitted the number 1 reason he didn't rape her, was because he wasn't physically attracted...So he basically reinforced his image as a serial rapist, as long as he thinks they are HOT.

2 ( +5 / -3 )

my question was she has the right to say it, but he doesn’t?

We aren't arguing about whether or not saying "you are attracted to someone physically" is wrong or not..we are arguing about saying whether "you raped someone because you are physically attracted to them" is wrong or not. You ARE definitely confused.

keep marginalising and ignoring women and the midterms will seem like a spank on the butt compared to what women voters will do in 2020. Women outnumber men in both population and eligible voters. Many of those housewives who have time to vote compared to their working husbands

Disgusting thing to say

3 ( +5 / -2 )

I'd say the same thing about democrats accused of rape. Nobody gets a free rape pass, no matter whose party you're on....I've said it before, Trump supporters would deny murder charges, even if he blew someone's brains out with a colt .45 on live TV. They don't care.

3 ( +6 / -3 )

Definitely no fan of the Donald, but Carroll is rather hard to take seriously at this point in time.

Watching her CNN interview was rather painful. And I say that as someone who has experienced pain.

5 ( +5 / -0 )

Regardless, you're now supporting a man who thinks the first step in raping someone is judging whether the victim is one's "type" or not. Its not, by the way.

That is a very odd claim. If it were true, we could expect that rape happens to traditionally unappealing women, such as the old and obese, as much as others. Statistics are not going to bear that out. And also, if you are saying that rape is, from the view of the perpetrator, all about power and control, rapists would rape men about as much as women. Obviously, physical attraction toward the victim plays a strong role in rape, if not the main role. Thus Trump's claim makes a lot of sense on the surface. It may be a lie, but so might the rape accusation itself. Besides, what else can he say to defend himself? He isn't going to endear himself to detractors on this no matter what he says. So he may as well hand his fans some troll fodder to fling at his detractors....who...if you ask me even as a Trump hater....richly deserve it by wasting our time and energy on this obviously unresolvable conundrum.

Huh? LAST I checked, rape statistics don't include things like "was she a 9 or a 10"...Jesus christ

 Obviously, physical attraction toward the victim plays a strong role in rape, if not the main role.

Based upon what, how you feel? The main factor that comes into play when someone is raped is lack of control and violence. Not physical attraction.

Besides, what else can he say to defend himself?

How about, just saying it didn't happen. He did say that, but he had to say, "first off, shes not my type"

Hmmm, that doesn't make any sense. There are more straight men in the world. So clearly, there are more women raped then men.

How about, just saying it didn't happen.

That one fails just as much as it works. When people already have it in for you, it doesn't work. Look how it went for Clinton. His fans accepted that. His detractors held up his tight lips as proof he was lying. I keep saying this over and over and it should be obvious. This is unresolvable. Its a waste of time and energy. If anyone REALLY hates Trump, they should move on. Harping on this show they put something ahead of the well being of the country.

If it were anyone else, and 16 women claimed some type of sexual assault, they would be investigating the hell out of it, and if found guilty tossed in jail. Even if it happened decades ago...can anyone say Bill Cosby!

 Geeze, these folks are desperate and hopeless for 2020.

oh I would say it is for the Republicans, all these women with all these accusations and theyre all liars! Midterms already lost the Republicans the house , due to the women's vote. Republicans can just keep on doing what theyre doing , ignoring and marginalising women, 2020 will show you their true political power

And the people here just lap it up like Kool-Aid. No question as to why she entered a dressing room with a stranger to begin with or why she waited until now to come forward when numerous people had come forward in the last election cycle with no repercussions. If this board is any indication of our voting public, this country truly is lost.

The probables is that stories like this make Trump fans support him even more.

Kathleen Willey accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault. He denied the allegation saying he would never pursue a small breasted woman. So what's the difference?

-5 ( +2 / -7 )

I think its less about being convinced and more about the attitude. Regardless of whether he did or not, he admitted the number 1 reason he didn't rape her, was because he wasn't physically attracted...

So what? He’s allowed to say that especially if he feels wrongly convicted or that the person is doing to...wait for it...sell a book. I’d be livid too in that case.

So he basically reinforced his image as a serial rapist, as long as he thinks they are HOT.

So it’s ok for liberals to prejudge, but conservatives can’t?

Why not take him to court? Why save it for decades and then write it in her book to publish? Oh right money..

I hope she takes legal actions against him cuz Trump is a uncontrollable idiot that's gonna destroy the world.

Based upon what, how you feel? The main factor that comes into play when someone is raped is lack of control and violence. Not physical attraction.

A quote from RAINN, Victims of Sexual Assault Violence: "Females ages 16-19 are 4 times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault." And another "Those age 65 and older are 92% less likely than 12-24 year olds to be a victim of rape or sexual assault, and 83% less likely than 25-49 year olds."

Old women are a pretty vulnerable group. And old women are low on the attractiveness scale. Females 16 to 19 are also highly vulnerable alone, but more protected than old women, and also high on the attractiveness scale. You just don't want to admit the obvious co-relation between attractiveness and rape.

Of course this does not mean that rape never happened because of a lack of attraction. It does however make it far less likely. There are zero absolutes in this.

No. Instead he says, "she's not my type." 

Because if she were your type, you'd rape her?

The Democrats continue to push their well worn slimy games, they cant put forward one decent candidate

They have several decent candidates this cycle with many policies the American people both want and need, according to multiple polls. (Higher taxes for the mega-wealthy, universal healthcare, affordable college, ending private prisons,, immigration reform, legalization of marijuana at the federal level, etc.

Even the highly flawed Democratic candidate in 2016 was "decent" enough to garner almost 3 million more votes than the Orange Mussolini, which in most democracies would have meant she had won.

There is none. He was pretty sleazy too, when it came to his treatment of women.

How many women will it take to come forward 30? 50? A hundred?

“…he has denied accusations of sexual misconduct made by at least 15 credible women, namely, Jessica Leeds, Kristin Anderson, Jill Harth, Cathy Heller, Temple Taggart McDowell, Karena Virginia, Melinda McGillivray, Rachel Crooks, Natasha Stoynoff, Jessica Drake, Ninni Laaksonen, Summer Zervos, Juliet Huddy, Alva Johnson, and Cassandra Searles.”

Why has she waited to ‘come forward’ until now?

In her words: “Receiving death threats, being driven from my home, being dismissed, being dragged through the mud, and joining the 15 women who’ve come forward with credible stories about how the man grabbed, badgered, belittled, mauled, molested, and assaulted them, only to see the man turn it around, deny, threaten, and attack them, never sounded like much fun. Also, I am a coward.”

You're not a coward. You and the women mentioned in the above post are extremely brave.

Had it not been caught on tape does anyone believe Donald Trump wouldn’t have denied bragging about being able to ‘grab women by the pussy’?

Meh.  Too many folks crying wolf on Trump.

-2 ( +3 / -5 )

Number one, she's not my type.

I won't downmark him based on this. If you are a reasonably healthy person, you might still be able to imagine yourself raping someone (because the desire for sex is fundamental to existence), but you'll at least think you'll pick a victim that's "your type".

So this is an honest answer. Answers like CrazyJoe's sound too rehearsed, too preachy. :-)

-5 ( +2 / -7 )

Reasonably healthy (physically and mentally) men imagine having sex with women virtually all day long. In fact, women would be astonished that we accomplish anything else in a given day.

However, very few of us fantasize about raping women. In fact, the very idea of violently assaulting a women is like, really, a turn off. So, naturally our first non-rapey thought when we hear people like Don & Kaz hold forth is WTF does my type have to do with it!?

@jcapan Today 05:42 pm JST

So you say, Jcapan. What's available on the porn market, however, suggests that rape and violence against women does have a following, even among healthy men. Just type words like "ryona" or "rape" in search engines or check out Getchu's monthly offerings ... etc. (I'm sure we all have our sources)

In fact, the very idea of violently assaulting a women is like, really, a turn off.

Having said that, I do agree the idea of violently injuring (not assaulting, injuring) women is not that popular. While at say the doujin level, you see a good bit of bruised girls, it's interesting to me how few professional products actually show the girls really bruised. The clothes, of course, are torn, and skin shows, and they are nicely pinned down, but injuries are in the text, not the graphics.

Typical Trump. He doesn't say: "It's inconceivable that I would rape this woman, because that would be so totally wrong, and so totally opposite of everything I am, that never in a million years could I commit such a crime." 

It wouldn’t matter if had said that in exactly that way, you and the other liberals would still call him a liar or distrust him, so don’t even go there. Lol

No. Instead he says, "she's not my type." 

He can say that.

Because if she were your type, you'd rape her?

No, meaning, he’s got standards. Judging by his current wife and previous wives and daughters, I would most definitely say so.

GOP used to be a party of family values, it’s turned into a family of the vile minded. Women, children and men who don’t fit into their narrow minded view of manhood are at risk.

Pres. Trump's response ("she's not my type") is indeed cringe-worthy, but the fact remains that the media will systematically cover for "their" favorites, especially Bill Clinton, while trumpeting any and every anti-Trump story...It's encouraging to see dissenting voices here, even though, predictably, the yahoo ex-pat crowd will respond with thumbs-down.

What kind of person, when accused of rape, responds with,"She's not my type"? Answer: A total scum bag piece of...garbage. What is the exchange rate for a moral compass? Maybe with a couple extra bucks in their wallets the minions can buy their souls back.

"No, meaning, he’s got standards."

How can you claim to have backed me into a corner

Easy, because you couldn’t give a reasonable or rational response. Ok, so besides chasing rabbit ghosts, what are Dems doing for the people? Seriously.

You're citing a report for the second quarter of 2018,

And the top economist in the country, even the ones that don’t like Trump said the economy and this President unleashed the full economical might of the US engine, but I get it, Chip. Dems are content with a sluggish economy or anything underperforming 3%GDP

The full economical might of the US engine? I know you write articles for the finance section of newspapers, and I’m at best semi-literate in this area, so could you explain what the “full economical might of the US engine” means?

Also, could you post the names of these economists?

seems by now liberals would vet these claims before fully backing them. remember all the Avenatti claims that fell apart?

"Carroll told MSNBC on Friday that despite the alleged ordeal, she won’t pursue the allegations in court due to the migrant detention situation at the southern border, saying it would be “disrespectful."

“I think most people think of rape as being sexy. Think of the fantasies,” Carroll replied. 

huh, what?

Bill was accused of something similar.

My opinion on it is that it was probably consensual, if it even happened at all. She seemed pretty starry eyed in the picture

We went over this before, and shown you, it’s now the 9th time, if you don’t get it now,

I’ve never posted this before.

I want to know what “the full economical might” of the US engine means. I know a little bit about engines, but I don’t really understand the analogy.

I’m just asking for clarification.
