Anyway, back to the topic of the health care plan.

We should be seeing it before long as repealing ACA without replacing it would have brutal and immediate consequences, according to he Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT).

"repealing the law’s mandate penalties and subsidies would result in 18 million more uninsured people in the first new plan year following repeal. “Later, after the elimination of the ACA’s expansion of Medicaid eligibility and of subsidies for insurance purchased through the ACA marketplaces, that number would increase to 27 million,"

"Additionally, health-care premiums for all U.S. customers would increase by 20 percent to 25 percent in the first year, with the increase reaching about 50 percent after the elimination of the Medicaid expansion and the subsidies."

Boasting to an entertainment reporter that you can pretty much grope a woman's private parts (and they like it) because you are rich, a TV reality star, or heck even an athlete, goes beyond normal locker room talk. Sure the "trash talk" is what people seem to do with those closest to them; however, I am more surprised at the level of misogyny in that boast versus the fact that he discussed it. You don't see the difference?

Also, have you ever been sexually harrassed/assaulted by someone more powerful than you? Someone who if you tried to fight them, you knew you'd surely lose against or be more humiliated that you already are? Probably not. These woman may put on an air of liking it, but most of them smile just so they don't cause trouble. Then they go home and take a long shower and try to move past it.

I will say about the younger millenial generational women of today in the workplace: they are MUCH less likely to tolerate this BS than women of my age had to do. Now if that's improving in the entertainment world, I have no idea.
"we heard from several people who spend a lot of time in locker rooms that they don't really say those things to that degree of craziness."

Give me a break '"we have heard for several people who haven't heard.., balh ,blah , blah."

I told you I HAVE PERSONALLY, NOT "some un-named people" much worse from women.

You are stretching MORE then most liberal posters.

bill clinton sticking, NOT TALKING ABOUT BUT ACTUALLY DOING IT, a cigar up a woman's vagina is MUCH woser then talking about it.

You people are amazing!

Did any of them file charges? I know my wife would if someone grabbed her like that.

They were probably slutty golddiggers.
