The president’s son’s takeaway from three women’s harrowing sexual-assault accusations against Brett Kavanaugh: His boys are now the ones at risk.

Donald Trump Jr. is afraid for his sons.

The past week—in which Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser were questioned in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee over allegations that he committed sexual assault in the 1980s—has made the president’s oldest male heir fear more for his sons than his daughters, the father of five said in an interview with DailyMail TV.

“I’ve got boys, and I’ve got girls,” Trump Jr. said during a trip to Bozeman, Montana, to campaign for U.S. Senate candidate Matt Rosendale last week. “When I see what’s going on right now, it’s scary.” When asked which of his children he’s most concerned for, he replied: “Right now, I’d say my sons.”

Trump Jr. told reporters that Christine Blasey Ford’s story, of being held down and groped by Kavanaugh at a high-school party while his friend Mark Judge egged him on, is tainted by political motivations to keep his father’s nominee off the high court.

1. As the saying goes, the douche doesn't fall far from the bag.

eom

[hibbing]

25. Or the turd doesn't fall far from the asshole n/t

[Hortensis]

39. :) As you say, and thus one of few genuinely sensible

things he's ever said. He needs to worry about his sons.

[onecaliberal]

52. Thanks for the laugh. I needed it.

[SharonAnn]

58. It's ok your daughters might be raped but not that your sons get caught.

[efhmc]

2. Of course you do, DJTJ, you know how scary it is to be caught.

[irisblue]

3. Then teach your sons what affirmative consent is.

If your potential partner is not clearly saying yes, keep your hands, mouth, and penis off their body.

Clear enough?

[TommyCelt]

46. Affirmative consent....

YES means "YES"

EVERYTHING ELSE is "NO".

Maybe later = NO
I dunno = NO
I'm kind of tired = NO
We just did it yesterday = NO for today
I have a headache = NO
Let me think about it = NO
Probably = NO


No trump understands this.

[NewJeffCT]

4. how about teaching your boys not to rape and sexually assault women

maybe that will make a difference.

[pazzyanne]

14. You don't understand.

Doing that would possibly be an end to the family traditions.

[NewJeffCT]

15. I know

no more grabbing women by the pussy, or walking up to women and starting to kiss them.

[dalton99a]

17. +1

[knightmaar]

16. The probability of being accaused of a given crime drops precipitiously if you never commit it.

Who knew?

[Fred Sanders]

18. Kelly Anne Conway said much the same thing by revealing she was a victim...but blaming herself.

The level of propaganda is on a whole new level now by the right wing.

[NewJeffCT]

20. I don't care if the woman was drunk off her ass

it still doesn't excuse rape, attempted rape or sexual assault.

[Fred Sanders]

21. Of course. Any Intoxication is the opposite of informed consent, as the law recognizes now.

[knightmaar]

5. Boys are statistically more likely to be assaulted than falsely accused

I mean "boys in general".

Maybe not, "Boys raised in the privileged, entitled Trump family" in particular. And those guys? I actually want them to be perpetually scared of being accused of sexual assault.

[forgotmylogin]

6. Raise your children right, you needn't worry.

They won't be putting themselves continually at scenes where they might be "wrongfully" accused.

https://qz.com/980766/the-truth-about-false-rape-accusations/

Innocent men rarely face rape charges
Let’s start with the idea that false rape accusations ruin lives, and are therefore a universal risk to men. Generally, feminists dismiss this idea by arguing that false accusations are rare—only between 2% and 10% of all reports are estimated to be false. What’s equally important to know, however, is that false rape accusations almost never have serious consequences.

It’s exceedingly rare for a false rape allegation to end in prison time.
This may be hard to believe, especially considering that rape is a felony, punishable with years of prison. However—to start with this worst-case scenario—it’s exceedingly rare for a false rape allegation to end in prison time. According to the National Registry of Exonerations, since records began in 1989, in the US there are only 52 cases where men convicted of sexual assault were exonerated because it turned out they were falsely accused. By way of comparison, in the same period, there are 790 cases in which people were exonerated for murder.

Furthermore, in the most detailed study ever conducted of sexual assault reports to police, undertaken for the British Home Office in the early 2000s, out of 216 complaints that were classified as false, only 126 had even gotten to the stage where the accuser lodged a formal complaint. Only 39 complainants named a suspect. Only six cases led to an arrest, and only two led to charges being brought before they were ultimately deemed false. (Here, as elsewhere, it has to be assumed that some unknown percentage of the cases classified as false actually involved real rapes; what they don’t involve is countless innocent men’s lives being ruined.)

So the evidence suggests that even in the rare case where a man is the subject of a false rape complaint, chances are that the charges will be dropped without him ever learning about the allegations. This raises an obvious question: Why would false accusers go through the trouble of making a report to police, only to instantly withdraw it?

8. For the trump family, that seems about right.

[TeamPooka]

9. Ask him how he feels after some frat boy Kavanaughs his daughters.

[keithbvadu2]

10. I have a fear that his sons will be just like grandpa.

What a miserable family.

[maryellen99]

26. And he won't believe his daughters nt

[GemDigger]

31. Oh my. My heart sank when I read that.

You are probably right.

[peekaloo]

11. A True Trump

leading with his asshole.

[malthaussen]

12. Oh, go suck a gas pipe, you whiny ass.

Males like Junior make me really fear for the future of my gender. Maybe we should re-institute the draft so we can weed out the wimps (that's sarcasm, children).

[The Liberal Lion]

13. words of a predator

[logosoco]

19. It is amazing how someone with so much money cannot buy a clue.

At this guys age, I would just about give up hope that they will ever understand the world around them. Too much time in a bubble.

I hope the children in the tRump family are exposed to outsiders enough. Maybe they can be helped.

[durablend]

22. "Don't rape people"

I dunno, seems simple enough to me...

[keithbvadu2]

24. What republican mothers teach their sons and daughters::::

What republican mothers teach their sons and daughters::::

Defending Kav....
"Tell me, what boy hasn’t done this in high school?”

Would the daughter feel that she might be supported if she told mommy?

Would Donald Jr's daughters feel that way?

[turbinetree]

27. Well asshole, if they don't attack woman, then they have nothing to fear

but, in your thinking if your daughters say they were attacked.......................take care..............you should be charged with child endangerment for this remark.................... .......................you really are a fucking idiot, you treat your daughter(s) as second class citizens ...............today........ ......................just gives you that warm fuzzy feeling of just being as narcissistic and lacking of empathy as your sexual predator old man........................

[Dave Starsky]

28. His sons for sure would be repeat offenders.

I really appreciated Jimmy Kimmel's description of him the other night. He called him the "chinless son a circus peanut".

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

29. Just teach them not to rape

and keep them out of snooty all-male prep schools where rape culture is especially rampant.

[BeckyDem]

30. Keep it going and solidify for more women that you have contempt for the MeToo movement.

[Botany]

32. Donald Trump Jr. is heavy w/Kimberly Guilfoye's baby .... picture at link post it if you can

[rtracey]

33. hmmmm

Yeah, only if your son are sexist, horrendous human beings like you...FUCK YOU TOO ALL THE TRUMPS

[LiberalLovinLug]

37. Sounds like he is already assuming that

[Moostache]

34. I too have sons and daughters...

My sons know that violating a woman is unacceptable behavior under ANY and ALL circumstances. My daughters know that they are vulnerable to attacks and how to defend themselves (mace and hard knee to the groin) and how to call for help if necessary (loudly and repeatedly saying "NO" or calling "HELP ME" as last resorts to an unwanted attacker).

I worry 1,000 times more for my daughters, as does any sane father or parent. We can teach our children NOT to do reprehensible things as a matter or being decent human beings. We can tell our boys that "no" does NOT mean "yes"...EVER (despite the protestations of certain Yale clubs known to include scum like Kavanaugh as representative members); but the hard truth is we cannot make other people NOT attack our daughters, nieces, wives, mothers, sisters or grandmothers. We cannot stop the moral rot that allows a political party in 2018 to decide that the message to send is NOT "we believe the women" but rather "we must pass this nominee because FUCK THESE UPPITY WOMEN".

I worry more for my girls and my nieces than I ever will for my boys or my nephews, and any loving and rational, non-foolish political hack father should easily reach that same conclusion every day of the week and twice on Sundays. I always knew Trump Jr. was scum, but he is only too happy to keep proving it.

It will be funny watching his worthless ass try to capitalize on his old man's name to build a political career. He is an utter failure.

[Gothmog]

35. Don Jr. is just as big of an idiot as his dad

[karin_sj]

36. Wow

This creep is truly disgusting and stupid

[SunSeeker]

38. My right wing in-laws have been posting "fear for you sons" memes on Facebook.

Typically they say something like "Any girl at any time can say anything about your son and RUIN HIS LIFE."

As if that is a real risk.

The real risk is that your DAUGHTERS will be sexually assaulted (at least 1 in 3 women are), and no one will believe them, because of statements like Don Jr.'s.

[apnu]

40. That's a reflection on Donnie Jr as a father.

His choices raising his sons is his responsibility. If he can't teach his boys to respect women, that's all on Donnie Jr.

[lark]

41. He doesn't worry about Ivanka, she's been abused since she was a child so no concern at all.

He hates women except for the 1-2 min. they spend pleasuring him. He doesn't care about his wife/daughter or granddaughters - just the guys. He makes me fucking sick on a daily basis.

[3catwoman3]

42. That should make his daughters feel...

...really valued.

[Democrats_win]

43. STFU your credibility is shot!

Donald Trump Jr. wrote a op-ed piece in the Denver post about two weeks ago. It was an anti-Democratic party screed. He has no credibility at all. Just STFU you piece of manure.

You can find the Denver post op-ed here.
https://www.denverpost.com/2018/09/21/opinion-donald-trump-jr/

People have written letters complaining that the Post gave him free advertising among other things.

[JonLP24]

44. Unbelievable

Most of the time people don't report and even if they do the odds are stacked against them.

[jmowreader]

45. I'm afraid for his sons too

With the high quality of the male role models in that family, they’re going to turn out to be completely worthless scumbags.

Their daughters aren’t any better off...”honey, you’re going to grandma and grandpa’s for the weekend. I packed your bags. This one has a can of mace, a billy club, your .45 and a cell phone with a really big button to dial the cops. The other one is full of clothes your grandpa doesn’t like. If you survive the weekend we’ll pick you up Sunday.”

[turbinetree]

47. Just think pin head........you can sit back and tell bed stories of how their grandfather

did this, or better yet have old grandfather the sexual predator explain this to his grand daughter(s), yeah, you and him can just explain all you want.....................the facts show and speak other wise....................pin head...............

[niyad]

48. afraid they will take after their sexual predator grampy--and get nailed?

[Oneironaut]

49. I know, right? You can't even sexually harass or rape women anymore...

What’s this world coming to?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

50. Poor baby

Right?

[Oneironaut]

55. Just like daddy - always whiny and oppressed.

[sprinkleeninow]

51. Sod off, junior. eom

[INdemo]

53. I fear for my Grandchildren....

Because at this rate with these Fascist Republicans..(even if they lose the majority)I fear our Democracy is doomed and I don't believe, even in 10 years from now, that we have the same freedoms we have now, because of the Right Wing SCOTUS

[amcgrath]

54. Hopefully,

Don Jr's upcoming jail time will give him a chance to contemplate the realities of violent sexual assault and rape.

[Judi Lynn]

56. He should fear for his sons, if he doesn't show them how to sit on stumps properly.

That's some very sloppy stump sitting. Makes the sitter look a little slutty. By the way, that sure is a purty mouth.

[truthisfreedom]

57. Sick.
