We should open up an Investigation on Schumer by the Ethics Committee, just so that we can be sure he isn't involved in any funny business.

If he didn't do anything then he doesn't have anything to worry about right?

That's how the left says that these things should be held right?

Why isn't Gillibrand calling for him to step down yet?

I agree with this. But in the case of Trump, I am trying to figure out how ANYONE can still support this guy. Let's see:

He bragged to Billy Bush on tape about making unwanted advances on married women AFTER they told him no.
He bragged to Howard Stern about going in on undressed pageant contestants 'because he was the owner'.
and worst of all, he bragged about how he would date his own underage daughter.

The last one was not a crime that I know of, but is perhaps the most damning of all in terms of character.

Allegations are just that, but admissions should be dealt with. I wonder if Trump could be put in the west wing of Sing Sing?

Schumer has some very deep, dark secrets and it may be more than sex. I bet Trump knows. He knows everyone's secrets which is why they fear him. Stay tuned.

And Cernovich tweeted about taking a big Dem senator down.

How great would it be to see pizza gate boy arrested?

That is false:

I keep having to copy and paste a point that I've made numerous times in the forum on this point:

Quote:
No, if you put it in context, you cannot exclude the "they let" part, which shows consent and motive/gives different meaning to the larger statement. They cannot be separated. Nice try. Ultimately, you may choose to give a meaning that is distinct and separate from the actual verbiage of Trump's statement, but that's all you and other leftists have. You cannot point to the actual language to support. Prior to stating "they let you do it," he states "I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait." You behave as if he is describing sexual assault (the "they let you" comment put aside for a second) when this is common practice among consenting adults. If out for a date or in a room where sexual tensions are running high, who in the world, man or woman, doesn't move in for the kiss if the mood/vibe is there? You choose to assign non-consensual activity to language that is not automatically that, which is a shame. Unlike how certain loony leftists want the world of consent to function where every sexual action has to be verbally consented to (never mind that non verbal cues play a huge role in consent) that's not how things work or should work. You claim that Trump's statements show that he doesn't wait for signals, when in reality they don't touch on that subject one way or the other (we do, of course, have the "they let you" consenting comment). But instead of questioning whether he did wait for signals, you automatically make the comments out to be nonconsensual, which shows your partisan stripes.

Like it or not, that's not criminal either.

Look, no one who supports President Trump claims that he hasn't been crass or that we support everything he says/how he goes about everything. But that is a far cry from claiming that he's admitted to engaging in unlawful sexual activity, which he HAS NOT. But we knew we weren't voting for a preacher to lead a church. No, we were voting for someone we believed would help to get our country back on the right track.

Let me guess: The staffer filed the charges, emboldened by the #MeToo movement. Chuck U found out and paid her and the cops off. Let's see if she falls off a high balcony or commits suicide soon.

So, no female reporters in the locker rooms?

Actually, you don't know that for sure, do you?

Schumer's office released details of this yesterday after the media started calling his office with questions. Someone on the Capitol Hill police force leaking? You have to wonder if Schumer would've released the details if the media hadn't come calling.

Howz about that, both NY senators in the news yesterday for the wrong reasons.

Schumer's alleged accuser was a staffer. Trump wasn't in politics and the events you listed have been debunked on this very forum. Look for them.

They are targeting Dems as a ruse. That way they can claim legitimacy in there ratcheted up attack on Trump. It's all a game.
