(THREAD) Trump's pedophile-like words and behavior.
With the Epstein case in the news (big thank you to those who have diligently worked to help the victims of Epstein and associates) I figured I would try to compile some things about Trump and girls (and young women).
1/ “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side...” independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
2/ This one has been pretty well publicised. One example of how when Trump sees a 10 year old girl he thinks is attractive, Trump thinks about "dating". In this case he said something to the girl before making his prediction about dating her. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3…
3/ When Trump saw a 12-yr-old Paris Hilton he said, "Who the hell is that?" due to her beauty. He says he wasn't interested though because she was 12. He said later he was friends with her parents and knew her. He watched her sex tape that came out. dailywire.com/news/6456/trum…
4/ Before continuing with the compilation I figure I'll do a poll. Given those comments about Paris Hilton, and many indications that Trump lusts for Ivanka, seems to me that Trump would watch a sex tape of her.
If a sex tape had come out with Ivanka, would Trump have watched it?
5/ Trump bragged about being able to go backstage while beauty contestants were naked. Here a 5th teen contestant who said he did that at his teen pageant.
"It was certainly the most inappropriate time to meet us all for the first time. The youngest girl was 15, ...
7/ Man who worked on The Apprentice and Trump beauty pageants for years, commenting on Trump sticking his fingers in contestant's mouths while inspecting which ones he wanted to "invite" to his room. I assume this wasn't the teen pageant.
8/ “Many of the girls found this exercise humiliating. Some of the girls were sobbing backstage after [Trump] left, devastated to have failed even before the competition really began . . . even those of us who were among the chosen couldn't feel ...
10/ Here is an article about Trump using his modelling agency to hook associates up with girls and young women. dailykos.com/stories/2016/1…
11/ Here is a longer article from the same woman discussing allegations of immigration fraud and borderline human trafficking at Trump's modeling agency. m.dailykos.com/stories/2016/1…
13/ Woman in documentary says her modeling agency sent her to a party and when she told Trump she was 17 he wasn't bothered, saying, "Oh, great. So you’re not too old and not too young. That’s just great.” spin.com/2018/07/trump-…
14/ Here is part 1 of a series by the Miami Herald, who should get great credit for this investigative series that got more people looking at what one of Trump's appointees did to protect Trump's pedophile friend (and likely that guy's friends). miamiherald.com/news/local/art…
15/ When Trump denies allegations we can keep some things in mind from Bob Woodward's book attributed to Trump:
16/ "You've got to deny, deny, deny and push back on these women. If you admit to anything and any culpability, then you're dead."
"You've got to be strong. You've got to be aggressive. You've got to push back hard. You've got to deny anything that's said about you. Never admit."
17/ Here is a letter from Katie Johnson, which ends, "I was raped by Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein when I was 13 years old, in New York City."
@danielsgoldman I hope people know that this isn’t the first time that Trump has tried to overturn a lawful election through revolution. He did it in 2012, but failed to get anybody killed that time. This time he did get people killed.
That time the “lie” was that Romney won the popular vote:
🔹“We should have a revolution in this country!”
🔹“Let’s fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice!”
🔹“revolution!”
🔹“We should march on Washington and stop this travesty.”
Sick that Republican Senators will help Trump do more.
@danielsgoldman 3/ How many coup attempts is too many for a Democrat? How many coup attempts is too many for a Republican?
Trump has already tried 2 coup attempts (the 1st failing because he couldn’t get it off the ground). How many coup attempts before there should be consequences?
1/ I would love it if the Democratic prosecutors for Trump’s impeachment trial went full bore on offense right out of the gate with something like:
2/ “We will be presenting our case to you, the American people. Technically the jury is in this room, but when this is over you are likely to see that the majority of the Republican Senators here are spineless people who don’t care if Trump is guilty.”
3/ “You, the American people, will get to see the evidence showing that Trump is guilty. If the Republican Senators choose to ignore the evidence and vote to acquit Trump because that is what they would do no matter what, you get to be their jury when they run for re-election.”
A group of rich businessmen are driving through the desert when they happen upon a man dying of thirst.
Some want to leave the man, some want to take him with them and nurse him back to health. but the majority agrees to give him 3 bottles of water.
2/ When the thirsty man hears he is getting 3 bottles of water, and sees them, he knows it isn’t enough, but he is so looking forward to that water, as he had thought he was going to die any minute.
3/ Then 1 rich businessmen decides to upstage the others. He tells the thirsty man that he will get 10 bottles of water, not 3.
2/ @JonathanTurley then took that and decided to make a whole thread attacking @PreetBharara based on Turley cutting off the “reasonable conclusion” and replacing it with his own “now clear”:
3/ Notice that in his 2nd tweet in his thread Professor Turley relies on his apparent lie in his first tweet to do it again, falsely claiming that @PreetBharara declared “Period” with no room for doubt. Clearly not true:
(THREAD) I see that Trumpsters still don’t understand how the OLC memo saying presidents cannot be indicted was relevant to the Mueller Report, or they fake that they don’t understand. I think the report was clear about this for part 2.
1/ Paraphrasing, the explanation in the Mueller Report comes down to:
“If we determine there clearly was no crime we will say so. If there was a crime, we will not say that, because the OLC memo means that we will not determine there was a crime, regardless of evidence.”
2/ That does not contradict Mueller explaining that he was not saying that, but for the OLC memo, they would say Trump committed a crime. The OLC memo created a barrier, such that they would not say Trump committed a crime, even if the evidence was overwhelming.
@SunshineNikki4@RickkidtchThoer 92/ Another example of the kind of people Trump has to get support from. @pax4pax responded (but not directly) to a tweet I made mentioning that there was a quid pro quo by Trump's team, by claiming that this was not reality. I responded here:
93/ That response from me included a pic of Trump ogling a minor child. @pax4pax claims to be a Christian, and they criticize people, yet @pax4pax decided that they wanted to defend Trump's pedophilic actions. That is above my response here:
@pax4pax 94/ Later @pax4pax claimed to be a Constitutionalist, even as they do whatever they can for a guy who falsely claims that article 2 allows him to do whatever he wants. @pax4pax tried similar, claiming that Trump did nothing wrong because he makes policy:
