    My post was directed towards the low IQ poster Mr Scarface. He’s a one trick pony like deb, Baghdad Bob aka astro123 and a host of others in here, their usual response to any current events is but but but…..Trump did it. We can specifically talk about what Trump did on each allegation that’s ever been made against him, but when you immediately pivoted towards Trump on everything under the sun, you have TDS and you have no credibility.

    There were evidently rumors about him, which is why when alleged victims speak up there is swift condemnation. Rumors are weak evidence on their own until something direct comes up.

    You indicated that Democratic Party officials knew about the particular allegations and sat on it until politically expedient. That theory doesn’t make much sense.

    Edit: OK, I see your theory is regarding local Democrats that are his political opponents. I could see how they would be motivated to control the timing of the news being released. It’s certainly possible, though again how much they would have known is not clear.

    Pointing out hypocrisy or partisanship in this thread is not the same thing as “TDS” whataboutism.

    Its actually pretty relevant even from a Trump supporter perspective how the cases differ and why the allegations should be dismissed in one case and assumed to be true in another.

    "TDS" is a deflection, not an argument. It signals you've run out of substantive points.

    Here's a straightforward question:

    Four women have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Eric Swalwell, including a former staffer who alleges he raped her while she was heavily intoxicated. He denies all of it.

    At least 28 women have accused Donald Trump of various acts of sexual misconduct, spanning from the 1970s onward. In 2023, a federal jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll, awarding her $5 million, and the presiding judge clarified that the jury's finding met the common definition of rape. He also denies all of it.

    So the question: Should Swalwell resign? Should Trump resign?

    If your answer is yes to both or no to both, that's at least consistent.

    If your answer differs depending on who it is, you're applying a partisan double standard, and you should own that.

    If it "depends," then make the actual argument. Spell out what it depends on and why.

    "TDS" is not a position. Dismissing criticism of Trump's conduct wholesale, while holding others to a different standard, is the definition of partisan hypocrisy.

    Where did I say that?

    The teachings of Jesus and Christianity are diametrically opposed.

    The timing does suggest a political motivation. But that motivation could be these victims saying to themselves: we can't let this creep be governor. I'm suspicious of the timing, but Swallwell's own comments seem to concede he had sex with young staffers. Even if it was consensual, it's unethical to have sex with your own staffers. There is a power inequity conferred by his office that he leveraged to gain this personal advantage. In my eyes, he has already condemned himself.

    Jesus is irrelevant to your acceptance of Trump's history of SA, being a con man, and screw hard working people out of money owed for work done for his businesses.

    Your love for Trump is based on HATE, BIGOTRY, and the lack of empathy for others (mainly people of color or have a different sexual orientation than you).

    Which "Christian" teaching is "diametrically opposed" to the teachings of Jesus?

    Are you a Christian?

    What you conveniently side step is the democrat culture of sleeping with your boss to stay in the in circle. To get employed and get ahead.

    Hilary stayed with Bill because it wasn't an actual surprise. Nor did she care for the supposed humiliation. She went so far as to take efforts to silence and discredit the accusers. It was the norm behind the scenes as they partied with people like Epstein. Power is the most important thing to her, not morality or believing women. Policy wise she just echoes whatever globalists told her --- so people detested her as a hypocrite, not because she was a woman.

    Governor Newsom's wife had sex with Harvey Weinstein to start her non existent career. She then conferred to him for advice after Newsom banged his secretary. She then conveniently came out as a victim when metoo happened, but she was playing the game. She's now a women's rights activist LOL.

    This is how you get into the democrat inner circle. You have to sleep your way up. Every democrat knew about the person Smallwell was, how he routinely raped and assaulted his subordinates, only hired women based on their willingness to sleep with him --- but he was winning so why harm the party and speak out about this inconvenience?


    What Trump allegedly did as a private businessman, long before he got into politics, was seen as a rich kid partying. Not systemic party wide culture the democrats have enabled and abetted for years. And the best the media could do was get a prostitute and a hardcore feminist writer for elle to sue him with the routine sham convictions by the Biden era rigged courts ... I'm over it.

    "democratic culture of sleeping around" lmao the current fbi director is using taxpayer funds to fly his girlfriend around the country for private concerts and giving her private security when that's never happened before in history. The ex homeland security secretary was caught having an affair and spending millions of taxpayer funds on their illecit relationship. The list can go on and on but there's no point.

    It's just too funny how dumb yalls propaganda is

    Woh, thx for being clear. “Rich kid partying” is a convenient way to downplay sexual misconduct. You minimize it when it’s your side, but frame it as systemic when it’s the other. That’s the double standard.

    This is why Democrats' attacks on Trump do not work. Because so many Democrats are sleazebags... Democrats are such hypocrites!




    GOOD DAY

    GOOGLE: How many woman have accused Trump of Sexual Misconduct ?

    GOOGLE:
    As of late 2024, at least 27 to 28 women have publicly accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct, spanning incidents from the 1970s to the 1990s, including allegations of rape and sexual assault.
    • E. Jean Carroll Case: In 2023 and 2024, juries found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation against writer E. Jean Carroll, resulting in significant monetary damages, with the judge clarifying the abuse met the common definition of rape.
    • Other Allegations: Accusers include former pageant contestants, staffers, and acquaintances, with notable claims from former wife Ivana Trump and businesswoman Jill Harth.
    • Recent Allegations: In October 2024, former model Stacey Williams alleged a 1993 groping incident involving Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
    • Response: Trump has consistently denied all accusations, labeling them as politically motivated.
    Reports following the 2026 release of the "Epstein Files" suggested FBI investigations into misconduct involving Trump and Epstein dating back to the 1990s.
