Yes, Trump Will Brush Off E. Jean Carroll's Assault Allegation -- but Women Will Remember

[DonViejo]

The White House immediately denied the advice columnist’s explosive charge. We can’t do anything about it now. But we can in 2020.

The last line of advice columnist E. Jean Carroll’s story of sexual assault hits like a ton of bricks. “And whether it’s my age, the fact that I haven’t met anyone fascinating enough over the past couple of decades to feel ‘the sap rising,’ as Tom Wolfe put it, or if it’s the blot of the real-estate tycoon, I can’t say. But I have never had sex with anybody ever again.”

I know E. Jean—not well, but we’ve messaged each other, and my mother is friendly with her. And since I have lived my entire life in Manhattan, she’s not the only Donald Trump accuser I know. There’s another woman mentioned in the list of Trump’s accusers, Cathy Heller, the mother of my best friend from high school; and then there are other stories I've heard, anecdotally of course, from people who didn’t want to come forward: a touched breast, an aggressive kiss on the mouth.

Friday, New York magazine published an excerpt from Carroll’s forthcoming memoir, What Do We Need Men For. It’s a memoir structured as a list of men who’ve attacked her, this list she calls “the most hideous men list.” The men on this list are largely known for such allegations: Les Moonves, Roger Ailes, and Trump.

Carroll also does a hideous men walking tour throughout Manhattan. The excerpt covers a few attacks from a few different men, but number 20 is the one we’ll be talking about all weekend and possibly next week too, because number 20 is the president of the United States. Yes, the longtime Elle advice columnist is alleging he, who once bragged that he could grab women by the genitals, raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman’s dressing room.

2. tried before and has no impact on trump or his supporters,

3. Sad, but you're right.

Plus at this point, any woman who still likes Trump won't change her mind for anything he does

[duforsure]

4. He has a history

Of being accused of violent rapes, and sexual assaults on women. All women who have been attacked should now come forward no matter if they were paid off, threatened, or intimidated to stop this from happening to any others by trump or other powerful men, and make them pay and held accountable, or it'll only continue more. Her not going after him for rape is an injustice to all women, and accepting this type of behavior from him and others hurting women has no consequences.

5. Every woman in this country should stand up now

Against him and the media for not covering 24/7 now.

6. THIS

Never forget that the MSM drove Dr. Dean out of the Presidential race for a football whoop of excitement after he won
a primary state!!!!!!! If the MSM wanted tRump gone he would be GONE!!!!!

Fucker Carlson is making war policy decisions? The MSM is running the government and we are okay with it?

Where is the angry mob of the #MeToo movement on this????? Where is everyone who demanded Al Franken resign??? WTAF?

How about a million people throwing bottles at the White House?
Anyone willing to be arrested? CRICKETS.

When it somes to tRump we have given up.

7. I think people feel numb and helpless

We have been taken over by foreign interests who have determined the outcome of our most important election. Our leaders are either complicit or paralyzed into inaction. We have become spectators to our own demise.

I remember when mass protests against the war brought millions of protestors into the streets. Those are the crowds we need now.

Unfortunately, we seem to lack any sense of civic duty. Our most patriotic moments occur at organized sports venues where most of the spectators believe that placing the hand over the heart during the national anthem means they are good Americans and is all that a democracy requires of them.

Yet we all cower in fear of everything that is crumbling around us. Without more effort on the part of citizens, democracy will fail because there are always bottom feeders ready to exploit our weaknesses. That's what we are seeing now. Division of the spoils!

8. Could not agree more.

9. The sad thing is, of all the women who have come out accusing Trump of sexual

assault, I believe this is only the tip of the iceberg. I am sure there are hundreds more who are/were too intimidated to ever go up against him because they knew he would crush them and destroy their reputations. I despise this evil, rapist motherfucker with every fiber of my being and I hope karma catches up with him very soon.
