"That would be bad, and I would have to consider it"

I think he choked because he was worried that such a tape was going to be released. DanTex Oct 2016 #5

He has good reason to worry. This morning it's on fire all over the "internets". lamp_shade Oct 2016 #6

His true answer is "yes, of course I'd support Trump no matter what he says."

It's kinda weird to be living in all these rape culture hypotheticals now.

This week, some interesting pictures emerged of a Texas Republican House candidate and a scantily clad model at a pajama party. Uh oh. Pajama party + sexy model = not a good look for an aspiring politician.

Yep, so, there's a picture of Blake Farenthold, candidate for House in Texas's 27th district, wearing duckie pajamas standing next to a model employed by an outfit called "The Crush Girls". The photo was taken last year at a fundraiser at a bar and posted by a local political magazine, We The People News.

Fascinating how they can be so horrible in public.

Looks like the sleazy sales guy you keep away from your daughters while shopping for furniture
