Or so it is alleged. Rather credibly.
Trump talked about sexual assault in 2005, that was recorded on tape, those tapes released Friday. Trump denied that he actually ever sexually assaulted/groped anyone during the Sunday debate, just a couple of days later.
Meanwhile many Republicans running for Congress distanced themselves from Trump and condemned him.
Then, the rabid right wing Teabagging Republican Trump supporters warned those Republicans that they had to get in line and support Trump or else. So, of course, lacking courage of conviction or ethics or morals or, really, brains, those Republican candidates caved and went whimpering back to The Donald.
Then, this happened:
More:
And even more here, just watch the whole thing, why don’t you?
Two women’s reports in the NYT. Palm Beach Post report from Florida. All credible, non anonymous, verifiable reports, and MSM is in the process of further verification as we speak.
Trump seems to have denied the allegations but it is hard to say because he was screaming so loudly.

“Tune in next week, when revelations emerge that Trump is still sleeping with Ivanka & Tiffany.
…and how Trump supporters respond by not only defending him, but offering their teen-age daughters for him to sleep with, too.
Has it been four days already? How time flies!
I’d like to see some revelations about his ties to organized crime and Roy Cohn.
Here’s the most disgusting part:

George, I’m not shocked at anything bachman says anymore, but I would put this comment from rush up against what she said as a contender for “most disgusting”
I emphasized the primary part. I suppose you could say that by “rape police” rush meant the police, but I’m sure I would say that is being too generous to that fat bastard.
“Rush Limbaugh today endorsed Donald Trump’s plans to decriminalize rape in the U.S., should he be elected president. Trump also announced plans to commute and release those serving sentences for rape and sexual abuse crimes. ‘Boys will be boys’, said Trump, ‘and sometimes locker room talk is more than just talk.’ ‘We don’t need this politically correct “consent” nonsense’, Limbaugh added, ‘Besides which, the “rape police” will only raise our taxes unnecessarily.'”
#4 Nice find Dean. I’ve always found Rush to be a less powerful Jabba the Hutt, spewing out non-sensical filth and feeding those he enslaves with his conspiracy theories and his anti-christian values to his pet rancor of false rhetoric, misguided beliefs, and … well… rancor.
#5 [Citation Needed]. Please tell me that’s an Onion article.
Well, George, maybe I’ve scooped The Onion. (Either that, or I could submit some articles for it…)
At the rate Trump is going, I expect #1 to actually see press, and the week after that for things to really start raising eyebrows…
Trump is either victorious or victimized, but never a loser. This week marked the end of Trump trying to actually win, and the beginning of him plotting to explain why the election was stolen.

RE: “Trump gets ready to be a bad loser.”
He was born ready.
With his son’s comment (five years ago?) that women who can’t handle sexual harassment shouldn’t be in the workplace now surfaced, it seems there is nothing decent about any of the trump menfolk. Color me a deep shade of completely unsurprised.
In fact, the Trumpkins are now proposing to repeal women’s suffrage on the grounds that when you let women vote, it’s harder for repulsive objects like der Drumpfenfuhrer to get elected.
How to get Mexico to build that wall:
Start by building a wall (in the U.S.) around Texas. No.. best include Oklahoma, too…
Next, deport all the Trumpkins to the new Okla-Texas nation, now detached from the U.S. (or used as a free-range penal colony).
Mexico will immediately respond by building a wall along the Texas border to stem the flow of “illegal aliens” across the border, bringing “thieves and rapists” into their country.

The “stolen victory” meme is eerily similar to the line the german fascists used in the 20’s
I’m 100% for secession. Apparently Texas’s governor is once again mouthing off about secession if we don’t elect his favorite orange fascist. When Texas joined the Union, the retained the legal right to secede. The U.S. wouldn’t recognize that if it weren’t convenient, of course. However, Texas is no longer, or soon will no longer be, an economic boon to the country. Their fossil-fuel-based economy is starting to decline as the consequences of oil depletion bite, and will continue to worsen. Then they will be just another, but much larger Southern state whose lousy education and unwillingness to provide even the most basic social services drag down the economy, along with every national statistic from literacy to life expectancy. Moreover, they have such gerrymandering that they ensure dozens of Republicans will be sent to Congress no matter what their people want. Get rid of Texas, and the House of Representatives would look quite different. Next time they threaten to leave, let’s all volunteer to hold the door for them.
Texas does not have the right to secede from the United States – no state does. Call it a myth or a falsehood, it simply isn’t true.
Dean, how about the other way around? I don’t think Texas vs White means that the rest of the U.S. can’t kick their deplorable ass out of the union, does it?
@Brainstorms #16:
I have no idea. Wouldn’t it involve revoking the citizenship of current citizens? I know there are laws governing when citizenship for naturalized citizens can be revoked – I think we have a summary somewhere, from when our sons were naturalized – but do such things exist in general?
That doesn’t even begin to ask how the feat would be accomplished.
Could be about as easy as, say, rounding up 11 million Hispanics and kicking them out, doncha think?
(At least we joke about it…)

Yes: Stabbed in the back – and his most ardent supporters have little choice but to accept an explanation like that. Either he wins, or he’s betrayed.
There’s another interesting parallel:
They will attack you; they will slander you; they will seek to destroy your career and your family; they will seek to destroy everything about you, including your reputation.They will lie, lie, lie, and then again they will do worse than that; they will do whatever is necessary.
They knew they would throw every lie they could at me and my family and my loved ones. They knew they would stop at nothing to try to stop me. But I never knew as bad as it would be. I never knew it would be this vile, that it would be this bad, that it would be this vicious.
Nevertheless, I take all of these slings and arrows gladly for you.
I will not lie to you. These false attacks are absolutely hurtful. To be lied about, to be slandered, to be smeared so publicly, and before your family that you love, is very painful. What is going on is egregious beyond any words.
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
(He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.)
The thing that gets me here is that Trump and his supporters proclaim Trump is different because he isn’t all talk and no walk, that he says what he means and means what he says.
Yet here he’s claiming that he’s groped and otherwise sexually assaulted women, then later, when called up on it, he says he didn’t actually do what he said he did at the time.
Yet still he’s proclaimed as “Honest Joe”.
How?
“Could be about as easy as, say, rounding up 11 million Hispanics and kicking them out, doncha think?”
And probably harder than removing the 2nd amendment.
“Trump groped.”
Evangelicals winked.
“Jesus wept.”
