E. Jean Carroll
@ejeancarroll
I am an "old Allegation." I am STILL waiting for Trump to provide his DNA sample to be tested against the dress I wore when he attacked me.

His lawyers replied to my request by seeking to DELAY my lawsuit.

What is @realDonaldTrump afraid of?

Let's see Mika go at her. A woman who has sworn to her charges, and possesses evidence to back them up. Even better, let's see Joe and Mika and the whole pack baying to press the cheap thug for his explanation, and poke and prod at his denials and keep it up till the cows come home....


"I intend to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer long."


"Defeat of a dangerous enemy is something to be for."

There are a couple of dozen already, 'Morning Joe' could do one a day and start over again till fall with profit to their ratings. New wrinkle after new wrinkle to find, and the expostulations of the cheap thug would provide great entertainment....

But we shall see, and hopefully you will prove right.

I wouldn't trust either of them further than I could throw one through a plate-glass window, not that it seems a bad idea. That distance would be a lot less further than it used to be, too

In order to be "fair and balanced" we'd see re-runs of Franken, Clinton, Hart and they'd probably exhume Kennedy and Roosevelt as well.
The game will be afoot. Never underestimate the hunting instincts of frauds on the scent.

We must make sure everyone knows we are having none of it, shame any on our side who try and pretend there's something to this swill, and blanket 'news' outlets who try and peddle these lies with angry protests and threats of boycott --- anything short of actual threats of lethal violence.

Show-boat talking heads playing 'balance' as if the Golden Mean were not a logical fallacy need to learn fear of social consequences. There are a damned sight more of us than there are of them, and we need to come together and make this plain.

The time for this sort of crap is over. They cannot ruin our leaders without our help, and we need to get this through our collective heads. Well-meaning, good-hearted people who tend to the left need to learn not to allow their better natures to be taken advantage of by vicious scum on the right, and splinterest wreckers on the far left, who enlist them in their charges against figures of the center left, by exhorting them to 'be consistent' and telling them 'don't be hypocrites'. The proper response to attempts at this is a hearty "Fuck off! Nobody cares what a rancid piece of dogshit like you thinks!" Or words to that effect....

THIS: "They cannot ruin our leaders without our help, and we need to get this through our collective heads."

The right are NAZIS, Sir. On every level, punch one. Every time they show their dark selves.

Keep that attitude and energy level, we're going to need it. I hope there are many like you.
My point is, of course, that the likes of Mika and Joe will always be there to sow doubt where there is trust, confusion where there is clarity, pretend substance where there is none. Makes the most pleasant parade into an up hill slog, especially when the band wagon is so frivolous.

Should clear it up in no time.
You see, context is everything in communication. Right wing operatives have been mangling it for decades in a successful program to dumb down the citizenry. (And if one judges by some, it wasn't a big step down, eh?)

And we need a separate forum for the posts on the BIDEN accuser, lots of trolls at work.

And it might work.

The only response for the Biden / Democratic side is to first, wait to see if the story from Biden's accuser dies on its own, doesn't hold up, OR if the story persists, is to highlight Trump's own misdeeds.

But either way, its a way to silence Democrat's ability to criticize Trump's personal morals as a disqualification for office. We will have to stick to other criticisms. Not that we don't have other angles. But it shuts down using one of Trump's biggest weaknesses against him. I think that is the GOPs minimum goal here.

of this campaign.

They brought it, and we MUST fight it. They only win if we help them.

We must always be ready with all the personal character assassination tools at our disposal. Lord knows this soulless president has passed them out like candy to us.

Seems like a no-brainer to me.
