Wasn't that coach in PA convicted for his locker room behavior?

I'd think after having that standard set that people would take this "stuff" a whole lot more seriously.

But as has been noted, they just don't care if it means their guy gets elected.
Just so you know, talk is different than actual behavior as in "doing vs saying". You get that difference right?

Yes but it has to stay just that. Trump has cases of him being a skirt chaser that never came to light because people didn't think they had thee power to say anything, similar to the Weinstein situation.

The Roy Moore thing could very well be nothing, we shall see. But we need to treat all of these situations the same and not pick and choose which accuser to believe and which to dismiss based on nothing more than the politics of the accused. That really isn't too much to ask.
"Why are The Cult members so quick to give Roy Moore the benefit of the doubt when they did not do the same'

I could post a LIST of time the dems said a repub was guilty BEFORE any investigation was even started.

Heck, these pages are FULL of dems who said Trump was guilty of all sorts of things an demanded his impeachment.

Sen Diane Feinstein said the other day, again, she has seen NOTHING to show collusion of Trump and the Russians and she is on the Senate Intelligence Committee and has SEE lot of the info.

Yes, it was.

I assume you feel water cooler gossip must occur around a water cooler.

Trump loves a good dismissive tag line to deflect the heat off of him when he pulls yet ANOTHER of his regular Trump eff ups. Thus you have:

Fake News= Any true story about Trump or his "issues" that he doesn't like.

Locker room talk(in Trump's frame of reference)="Oops! I got caught" being a bombastic, boorish, braggart blowhard blathering on about my inept, loser sexual attempts/assaults. But, so you won't see me as a cad, a criminal or a full-of-crap loser, but just "boys will be boys", we'll call it [:wink:wink:] "Locker room talk". See how easy that is? The easily duped will think of what is actually crude, crass and criminal as just "boy talk" as Melania put it. (See, people enable and make excuses for me all the time like that. What I get away with! It's great!)

They let me do it (in Trump's frame of reference)= I was on them like a rabid dog. They didn't EVEN know what was coming. And by the time it was over and they had fended me off, they were too stunned and in a state of shock to respond. The looks on their faces! And, what were they gonna do anyway? After all, I'm the rich, famous Trump. Who wouldn't want a little "hit and run" from me?

Kellyanne is a sellout pathologically lying dingbat but she was right about Trump having "alternative facts". I hope he gets to present them in court someday soon under the questioning of a no nonsense, hardened DA.

No, she hasn’t. You clearly can’t grasp the difference between an accusation and rumormongering. When is anyone ever come forward and said that Hillary Clinton sexually harassed, abused or assailted them? Not once. Right-wing Internet trolls can speculate and make wild fabrications, but that is not the same as an accusation.

Why the double standard,why is OK for trump to do it but not anyone else?
If a person wished someone dead is it the same as a murderer who follows through?

There's a difference between bragging about something, and actually doing it. Trump only bragged about all the women he could get, while these Hollywood hypocrites are actual rapists and pedophiles.

You may not be making light of it, but you certainly are trying to shift the message.
