President-elect Donald Trump has chosen multiple people facing sexual misconduct allegations for key administration positions, downplaying the accusations against them and testing the willingness of his party to do the same.

I think as a malignant narcissist, and an old man who is the product of a cringe worthy generation, he doesn't acknowledge or see anything wrong with this behavior. He also sees women as chattel.
WHEN A THIRD OF YOUR PAST IS MARRED BY ILLICIT, CORRUPT, ILLEGAL, AND VILE SEXUAL BEHAVIOR...WHO THE HELL IS SURPRISED AT HIS PICKS?
HIS BEST FRIEND FOR 20 YEARS WAS A PEDOPHILE WITH A PRIVATE ISLAND OF RECRUITED UNDER AGE RUNAWAYS FOR TEEN SEX.
* TRUMP IS A POS & ANY1 WHO VOTED FOR HIM IS MORONIC.
It's just so disgusting... especially to those of us who survived SA.
It's basically a FU to all survivors & I can't wait for this nightmare to be over. I had so much hope for a better next 4 years. Now it's dystopian & scary for a lot of marginalized people.
Why are we surprised? Trump normalized sexual assault in the 2015 Access Hollywood tape and the entire party of family values submitted to the new GOP.
Part of the mission of the GOP is to put women "in their place" along with minorities, queers, and anyone else they believe should rightfully be subordinate to white men.
I have said this before. Sexual misconduct is simply not perceived as an issue in Trumpland. Trump sees nothing wrong in doing it so everyone lets it pass.
How do we even begin to describe this total lack of respect toward women? We need a new bust-through-the-noise phrase to replace the belabored ‘war on women’ etc to get the attention of our head-in-the-sand sisters who continue to believe all is well
If we know, it's no secret. He just doesn't care, he likes people sharing his mindset on the worldview, including women and grabbing them by the pussy and maybe shooting one afterwards on the fifth avenue. He doesn't care, his base voters don't care.
Normalizing the abnormal.
This is abnormal.
He is surrounding himself with predators bc he is one. He does this so ppl throw up their hands and accept this crap.
No we won't. America isn't maga.
But iirc Kamala Harris wasn’t giving enough interviews at the right places and she supposedly wasn’t providing enough details about her policies. So the press gave her a hard time instead of pressing Trump for any details of his own. Is that about right?
Birds of a feather with always flock together. He is probably going through Jeffrey Epstein‘s little black book right now, looking for more despicable ones.
It's the sociopathy. Trump is choosing people untroubled by shame or a conscience so that they will do whatever he wants them to do whether is legal or not.
Trump didn't need to take that into consideration because the women involved were in spaces designated for men. He and his cabinet picks are going to fix that by barring women from those spaces.
Can we call more attention? The Presidential Transition Act has been in place since JFK’s assassination in 1963. Major party nominees are supposed to sign these agreements six months before the presidential election. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Interesting: “The Act directs the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other agencies responsible for conducting background investigations to conduct those investigations expeditiously”
Unfortunately, most of the security clearance system is based on presidential directive. So Trump can just override it at his discretion. The Russians will have access to our most privileged secrets. The intelligence community should start shredding documents now.
He wants all of his own kind around the Reality TV cabinet table he is creating. Right wing TV pundits and sex offenders. Why is anyone surprised by this?
Voters for this nation’s leader(S) to give us economic and border relief. Instead, Trump and his surrogates have misplaced their use of the word ‘mandate’ using closing down the major veins of our government and firing civil service employees. This is a giant step towards a dictatorship.
because Trump wants to normalize sexual misconduct. This act will encourage more people to violate law as they think even a rapist can be a president, why can't they do it..
I’m beginning to think that being accused of sexual assault or being convicted of sexual assault is now a prerequisite to be in Drumpf’s administration.
If you wanted to normalize sexual assault and diminish the rights of women to speak out/fight back against those who do them harm, this would be an effective strategy.
Trump is normalizing sexual assault on women. And it's working. We're back to "boys will be boys" dismissal of serious crimes. This high profile acceptance of sex crimes endangers women.
I think it speaks volumes about how disingenuous the Qanon movement ended up when they supported Trump nominating alleged rapists and pedophiles for his cabinet
Have you read the allegations on him? It actually looks like he was drugged by the woman whose kids were downstairs. A person said they saw him completely intoxicated (couldn’t consent) while she seemed fine. 🤔
Because everything regarding todays GOP is fake. It's all a massive con. Don't believe me?
Their Christian's? Fake. They worship a sexual harasser and adjudicated rapist

N.B. WAPO refused to endorse Harris.
It is a movement that hates women.
