Let he who is not a Nazi rapist cast the first stone

Given the environment, and given 300+ million people, someone is a better choice.

Wicker reminds us that all Republican men excuse rape.

So he’s saying that they’re all rapists.

This whole hearing is a failed white man being supported and excused by more failed white men and demanding “how dare anyone demand accountability for our failures and NOT elevate us IN SPITE of them ?”
Fuck you all

Agree😞

Hmm…do we all rape from time to time?

I guess it should not surprise that sexual predator picks sexual predators to work with.

I feel like I’m experiencing a “Jurassic Park/the electricity just failed on the containment wall” moment.

He got a good dressing down by his mom so I’m not sure why all of this is such a big deal now.

This guy is going to get us all killed, isn't he?

Going to get in and immediately demand respect after complaining the current DOD is too weak/woke and needs cleaning out. That his new employees are insufficiently sniveling will be justification to fire them all. Failures happen months on, it is blamed on all the fired employees sabotaging the DOD.

"falling short" = rape.

Ugh.

So much to make fun of in that stupid sentence.

As we all do?????

"I didn't sexually assault her, we just both got blackout drunk at a work event and cheated on our spouses in my hotel room" would obviously not work for a Democratic nominee and it would be considered a truly insane defense strategy and admission.

When I mentioned trump's history of SA, my stepmother told me that "he's a changed man" & "you wouldn't want someone digging into your past, would you?" Basically the Republican attitude towards white rapists is "welp, nobody's perfect."

It's NOTHING disqualifying?!? I guess not, considering who the president-elect is....

vcobianchi.bsky.social•40 days ago

I don't.

Some of us just possibly fell shorter than others. The idea that one must not consider the problems of a candidate when considering them for a job seems unusual to me.

tkleghorn.bsky.social•39 days ago

"falling short"?

eric2907.bsky.social•39 days ago

I've fallen short a few times, but never that short.

"Most people who are accusing him of rape are anonymous, and the rest we have viciously attacked as floozies and he is threatening to sue" really says something.

amandag4.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yes. Classic gaslighting. They make it absolutely torturous, and mostly ineffective for us to report rape and then blame us for not reporting it “correctly.”
