The context here is that Trump has started flip-flopping his rhetoric after spending his time in office appointing anti-abortion judges who proceeded to create a situation where women are sent home to die when abortion is what’s needed

You mean Donald Trump, who once said on tape that he was famous enough to get away with grabbing women by their genitalia? Seems like a pretty bad guy to trust, unless the thing you’re trusting him to do is sexual assault

No that just means he has experience with women’s genetalia. And means he speaks his mind, so I trust him. Or some shit.

Experience which we all know is the backbone of a good presidency, just look at James Buchanan

The problem, you see, was only the word he chose to use there, not the sexual assault itself. Just “locker room talk”. All men, everywhere, while they are in the locker room - in between the towel-snapping and the ass-slapping that is - just casually talk about sexually assaulting women and the level to which they are allowed to get away with it. This is just common knowledge. They usually don’t use words like “pussy”, though, you see, so the national conversation was, as it should have been, only about the word itself, because, obviously, that was the only problematic part.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
