And here is that mavericky senator susan collins, taking yet another brave and independent stand... Susan Collins: Trump's 'she's not my type' defense is 'extremely bizarre' https://thehill.com/homenews/senate...shes-not-my-type-defense-is-extremely-bizarre Speaking of senator collins, she faces a credible challenge for her senate seat:
A few things: 1) Sweet Lou set up his statements as extremes, so they would be difficult to challenge (he's sneaky that way). I didn't have time yesterday to get into a nuanced argument. 2) Of course not all gays are pedophiles, but if you research NAMBLA history, you'll find some disturbing overlaps. I could cite other examples. 3) Not all Muslims are terrorists but .......you get the idea. 4) Hate speech isn't real.
I did a search for the calmly quoted statements with @BruceAndre as the author . . . I couldn't find them. I tried a broader search without the author and turned up a different poster calmly stating the quoted passages. What we have here seems to be a case of calmly putting words in other peoples' mouths.
The guy was setup. It's a conspiracy. I reported the post. It's not for me to decide what kind of statements are tolerated. If you sign under someone else's quote in support of it, you are calmly saying the same thing. You would know, since you are very careful not to explicitly sign under much of the articles you post.
That is indeed what I said. Now, what does "a lot of truth" mean? It means, at the very least, that there's a lot of truth to the statement. But it's also a generic/amorphous statement. Sweet Lou's statements were designed to be extreme and inflammatory. That's why I pushed back against them. Not that I take back anything I said. I believe that the US court system has ruled that "hate speech" is not a thing. Of course, what the webmasters/moderators here allow is a different matter. But -- I have not heard from any of the moderators. There's a disclaimer around here somewhere in the D&D that "be careful, you might hear something you don't like." Perhaps Foh didn't see or read that part. Or, more likely, he's one of those leftists that wants to shut down debate because it's "hurtful." Basically, the leftists don't like the kind of things I say because they want to think that all the people from all over the world are the same -- "tabula rasa." But, newsflash -- we're not all the same. We have fundamental biological differences between the genders and races, from which flow cognitive and cultural differences. From that premise, then, dreams of "equality" are a chimera, a mirage, an illusion. The leftists hate, hate, hate such a thought.

She said the incidents occurred in 2006, when she was 20. Summer Zervos alleged that Mr Trump grabbed her by her shoulders and forcibly kissed her, and groped her breasts, while she was a contestant on The Apprentice in 2007. She said the incidents took place at Trump Tower in New York, and at a hotel in Los Angeles. Cassandra Searles, a former Miss Washington, said that Mr Trump grabbed her buttocks repeatedly in 2013 during the Miss USA pageant in 2013. She said that he also invited her to his hotel room.

And another one... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...-of-sexual-assault-by-former-model-amy-dorris Exclusive: Amy Dorris alleges Trump forced his tongue down her throat and groped her at 1997 US Open ‘It felt like tentacles’: the women who accuse Trump of sexual misconduct
#26? Donald Trump accused of sexual assault by former model Amy Dorris A former model has come forward to accuse Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her at the US Open tennis tournament more than two decades ago, in an alleged incident that left her feeling “sick” and “violated”. In an exclusive interview with the Guardian, Amy Dorris alleged that Trump accosted her outside the bathroom in his VIP box at the tournament in New York on 5 September 1997. Dorris, who was 24 at the time, accuses Trump of forcing his tongue down her throat, assaulting her all over her body and holding her in a grip she was unable to escape from. “He just shoved his tongue down my throat and I was pushing him off. And then that’s when his grip became tighter and his hands were very gropey and all over my butt, my breasts, my back, everything. “I was in his grip, and I couldn’t get out of it,” she said, adding: “I don’t know what you call that when you’re sticking your tongue just down someone’s throat. But I pushed it out with my teeth. I was pushing it. And I think I might have hurt his tongue.” Via his lawyers, Trump denied in the strongest possible terms having ever harassed, abused or behaved improperly toward Dorris. Dorris, who lives in Florida, provided the Guardian with evidence to support her account of her encounters with Trump, including her ticket to the US Open and six photos showing her with the real estate magnate over several days in New York. Trump was 51 at the time and married to his second wife, Marla Maples. Her account was also corroborated by several people she confided in about the incident. They include a friend in New York and Dorris’s mother, both of whom she called immediately after the alleged incident, as well as a therapist and friends she spoke to in the years since. All said Dorris had shared with them details of the alleged incident that matched what she later told the Guardian. Dorris, now 48 and a mother to twin daughters, said she had considered speaking publicly about the incident in 2016, when several women made public similar accusations against the then Republican candidate for president. But she decided against coming forward, in part because she thought that doing so might harm her family. “Now I feel like my girls are about to turn 13 years old and I want them to know that you don’t let anybody do anything to you that you don’t want,” she said. “And I’d rather be a role model. I want them to see that I didn’t stay quiet, that I stood up to somebody who did something that was unacceptable.” Dorris said she spent several days with Trump in September 1997 after being taken to New York for a long weekend by her then boyfriend, Jason Binn. At the time, Dorris was living with friends in Boca Raton, Florida, regularly travelling to Miami for modelling and occasional acting work. Binn, the founder of several luxury fashion and lifestyle magazines, was a friend of Trump; in 1999, he reportedly described the real estate businessman as his “best friend”. On Friday 5 September, Dorris said Binn took her to meet Trump at his office in Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan, before they went together to the US Open in Queens. “He came on very strong right away,” Dorris said of Trump. “It seemed typical of a certain guy, people who just feel like they’re entitled to do what they want … even though I was there with my boyfriend.” Rest of the article... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...-of-sexual-assault-by-former-model-amy-dorris
