This is really bad news for Trump.
And, those stories may be true.
But what bothers me is that rarely are any DEGREES stated as to just how bad something is for him.
Id love to see that.

(25,479 posts)Usually, they're not as damaging as the hyperbolic post titles would indicate. Many aren't damaging in the least; they're just his latest rants or minor developments in news stories. I could happily live the rest of my life without seeing another "X DESTROYS X" style headline about something insignificant or meaningless.
As for degree, in many cases no one can really predict that at this point. So far, all reports of his certain demise have been premature. I surely hope that he faces significant consequences from one of the current investigations (or the rape trial, or both) but that remains to be seen.

(17,195 posts)Assuming he loses, *rump will face no criminal penalties -- yet it's as if to win the civil suit, they'll have to prove the criminal act. I guess it has to do with the burdens of proof -- a preponderance of the evidence vs. guilty beyond any reasonable doubt.

(1,856 posts)Like yesterdays post claiming a lawmaker said she would rather her daughter commit suicide than transition. If you bothered to watch the video, she never said that, just some word salad garbage that she equated to some shared experience. It got a ton of comments about how nasty she is though.

He has gotten away with it for so long.
