The President Of The United States Is Accused Of Raping....

a woman yesterday. She is one of 10 or more other women that have also accused him of rape or sexual assault. This is after his famous admission of how he sexually assaults women by grabbing them by the pussy.

Very little news coverage of this new accusation and all Trump had to do is deny it and say this woman is looking for publicity to drum up sales for her new book.

No calls for his resignation. No calls for having to account for this assault. He goes on like nothing is wrong - nothing has happened.

In contrast to that - look what happened to Senator Al Franken.

What's wrong with this picture?

Gillibrand has asked Trump to resign for his misconduct in the past. The story came out Friday and most elected officials won't have an opportunity to respond until Monday.

Do they keep their heads up their asses over the weekend? (Don't answer that!) Have they not heard of "social media"? the Internet? Gillibrand (of all people) should already have flooded the airwaves AND the Internet with demands for his resignation!

(Pardon my shouting)

And nothing would happen (he would not be held accountable). He has said this and it is the truth.

He will continue evading Justice until Justice is slammed down upon him by righteous individuals and so far, we don't have any of those left in the right offices.

Sorry, can't find the article but he said to the reporters question "If anyone shot someone on 5th ave in New York, that person would be subdued, disarmed and detained for questioning. This includes the President of the United States." Of course his base could still vote for him in jail...

An interesting confrontation- Secret Service vs. New York cops, I wonder if the secret service has ever had it's constitutionality or power tested like that. Something more to learn about our "democracy"...
