You can hear the evangelical church thinking about the arguments.... groping is not rape! Yeah! Groping isn't rape!

The fucked up racist MAGATs will still vote for the sick Russian run Orange Shit Stain.

This fascist POS was literally found to be a credible sexual abuser and it did nothing.

This too, if proven true, will also do nothing because Republicans endorse this type of behavior.

Personally I'd like to see some other words be used like; eviscerated, mutilated, kill-a-man-jaroed, and my personal favorite, decimated.

I can all but guarantee that this won’t sway a single one of his voters. In fact, watch that this doesn’t get him even more support. They love circling the wagons when their beloved king is in trouble.

If anything it will give them permission to do it too.

Like this is going to be the thing that turns off the Maga'ts.

They're clearly going to say it's fake n that Hillary n Obama are the real sex offenders

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago

Probably turns some on tbh

If they want evidence of Trump abusing minors there is an Epstein case they might want to mention.

But is it a bombshell? Most voters are already decided. Trump's flock will ignore any bad news about him, and the rest won't be convinced to vote for Harris any harder than they plan to or have already done. The vision being fed to us, of a nail-biting race seesawing back forth, is just clickbait for ads,

Stop doing work by trying to preempt the "does this matter though" argument for them?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

They can get demoralized and stay home.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Certainly couldn't be ruled out, but probably not to an extent that makes the news a "bombshell".

As someone who had to sit through a seemingly unending stream of videos of Biden sniffing hair etc, none of which were as damning as the people boosting them claimed, I really hope they either don't release this, or it actually is what it claims to be, not some similar crap.

"Donald Trump loses his balance and accidentally makes contact with a girl's butt" or similar ambiguous clip is probably not going to do anything except make me have to start ignoring videos of Biden sniffing hair again when magas start posting them in retaliation or whatever.

I loved the Biden sniffing hair videos!! They were so creepy but also funny. I was hoping he would keep doing it after he was president lol.

I also voted for Joe biden. Only because of the sniffing actually lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago

Only because of the sniffing actually

Brand new sentence, and I love it.
