Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsSpent today shaking my head in disbelief at people who refuse to believe Trump just doesn't GIVE A F*CK.
In the BIG PICTURE, he just doesn't give a fuck.
BUT...it's also FRIDAY...and you know what that means...off to Mar-a-Lago and / or Bedminster for another 3 days of taxpayer-funded fun.
Dude sexually assaults women.
Dude wants to bone his own daughter.
Dude buried his first wife on his golf course for a tax break.
Dude cheated on all three marriages.
Dude refused to go to a Military cemetery on a day when it was sprinkling because he didn't want to get his comb-over wet.
Dude raped E Jean Carroll and was accused of sexual assault by 25 other women.
Dude had his fake "university" shut down, and his fake "charity." He used the money from the "charity" to buy a portrait of himself and a Tim Tebow football helmet, then his son Eric oversaw stealing money raised for kids with cancer.
So a fighter jet gets shot down in his war, and he's silent, and people are going "WHY ISN'T HE SAYING SOMETHING," and I'll tell you exactly why.
It's Friday, and he doesn't give a fuck.

(3,194 posts)Maybe it's always been this way -- but we've been fortunate in having no openly practicing Morlock running the Federal government, until now.
(Reagan was close, Cheney/Bush toyed with the idea, and Nixon was interested in destroying his personal enemies, not the administrative apparatus and foundations of American governance.)

(MAGA are, seriously, morons. Put it this way, in the biblical story, if King Solomon had offered to "divide" the infant claimed by two MAGA they would have smiled and said "Thou art truly a Just King" and each left with a half.)

(17,239 posts)Says Trump told her he would show her how little girls should behave at which point she bit the shit out of his dick. Good for her. That is character and courage right there. No mercy for anyone in the Epstein Files.
I finally started looking at the Epstein Files as lately I am gearing up for a longstanding conflict. Sexual harassment and maltreatment of women are a big part of it and so obviously the Epstein Files are important. An open secret showing the depravity of what passes for elite.
Immigration is a messy issue. I myself have issues with the Cato/Koch brothers/Tech creep model of immigration to the US which is cruel to both the 90,000 immigrants languishing in hells and generally a disaster as it relies on ignoring the limits to growth and using human overpopulation in the global south as a source of disposable lives based on my experiences and those of others.
And many American immigrant success stories (Vinod Khosla, Priscilla Chan, Clare Wu, Fei Fei Li, Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, Rana Al Khalouby, Ragy Thomas, Vincent Palathingal, Shalab Kumar, Mitesh Bohra etc.) are people who are driving a race to the bottom in every part of the world. Those people are often a disgrace in any non-superficial sense in such an unequal world, just as much as other immigrants are a credit to any country they would be in. One size cannot fit all.
This is someone I respect and he came back to India (Hemant Kappanna). The Volkswagen Whistleblower and he did not make it there. So immigration is not discussed honestly whereas if instead of canned statements, it were discussed honestly, it would humanize both immigrants and non-immigrants.

Anyway, either way, this is the rape of a child. And it is generally viewed as credible as far as I can tell. I felt really bad for that young woman when I read about her. These girls have character and courage, which is more than I can say about a subset of those who pass for elite.

Miss USA 2001 contestant: Trump barged into room when we were naked
Woman tells the Guardian He walked in, he stood and he stared as she and another young contestant were getting dressed for rehearsal for 2001 pageant
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct/12/donald-trump-miss-usa-dressing-room-2001-rehearsal
Trump deliberately walked in on two young Miss USA 2001 contestants while they were naked and getting dressed for a rehearsal, one of the former beauty contestants has claimed in an interview with the Guardian.
The two women were putting on their outfits to rehearse the opening number, the former contestant recalled, when Trump, who owned the pageant at the time as part of the Miss Universe family of pageants, burst into the room without a word.
Mr Trump just barged right in, didnt say anything, stood there and stared at us, she recalled. Trumps attitude, she said, seemed to be: I can do this because I can.
He didnt walk in and say, Oh, Im so sorry, I was looking for someone, she continued. He walked in, he stood and he stared. He was doing it because he knew that he could.

(17,239 posts)And a 13 yo going by these accounts. Trumps perversion seems to span a broad range.
On Sunday, The Post and Courier uncovered records that confirmed details of the womans testimony on Atkins. This included Atkinss relationship with an Ohio college, his age, his hair color, his general appearance, and details about his employment in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
Of course, the validated details about Atkins do not implicate Trump in any way. The White House, and the president himself, have furiously denied the womans claims since her testimony was publicly released, falsely claiming that the president has been exonerated. But every other detail of the womans testimony that turns out to be true gives more credibility to the rest of her story.
I do think this is the most horrifying (and damaging) story I have heard about Trumps sexual assaults thus far. She was 13. This is shocking even by todays degraded standards and it has the unmistakable ring of truth:

Corroborating The Context: The Jimmy Atkins Connection
While the specific claims against Trump remain unverified, investigators found evidence supporting other parts of the woman's story. She named a third man, businessman Jimmy Atkins, who she claims was also involved in the network.
Reporters at BBC News confirmed that the details she provided about Atkins were strikingly accurate. She correctly described his appearance, his ties to Hilton Head, and his connections to an Ohio college. Atkins died in 2003, making it impossible to cross-examine his role. However, the fact that she was right about Atkins adds credibility to her presence in the Epstein circle during the mid-1980s.
