Do you think Trump's people pushed the story on HW Bush's groping?

[PubliusEnigma]

Might this be payback for W's recent speech?

Just another attempt to drag everyone down into the mud Trump rolls in.

[FarPoint]

1. Yes, yes

And...Yes.

[lunasun]

2. Spokesman for Bush said "he apologizes if his attempt at humour offended Ms Lind.

[mythology]

3. No. I think we are at a cultural moment that encourages women to come forward

Which I think is not something Trump wants. He not only can't help but sexually assault women, he can't stop his case of verbal diarrhea towards women.

4. Of course he did...read somewhere the actress was a Trumpster too..

5. Maybe but they admit it happened but hm it's likely dementia

6. Theres apparently a second accuser now.

I don’t have the link yet. It was on Deadspin and I’ll look for something more reliable first, but her story is that at a similar photo op he grabbed her behind and said “You know who my favorite magician is? David Cop-a-feel.” Everyone around groaned that he did that all the time.

As I said I’ll look for a link to a better source. Here’s the Deadspin.

If true any pass I’d have given him is now rescinded.

7. People that work in nursing homes say its not unusual and

Dementia

[nolabear]

8. Not unusual at all but this doesnt sound like that level of impairment.

I could of course be wrong. I did animal assisted therapy in a nursing home years ago and there were some pretty gone filters sometimes. He’s out and about so much though that I’d imagine they don’t expect him not to know better.

9. I think they need to have someone who knows him next to him

And keep others away from him.

Like that event with just the presidents was ok .

[Ilsa]

10. Yeah, good judgment slips away, people stop

Filtering their own actions, such as walking around undressed, etc.

GHWB might be getting trotted (wheeled) out and he may not even be aware of his circumstances in the moment.

11. It is hard to know. One of the problems of age.

Sometimes you become an object for what other people need you to be.
