A Bit Off-Topic, But Let’s Examine Trump’s Credibility
Aeroponics advocate and environmental activist Rafael Quezada writes:Donald Trump has been accused of sexual assault or harassment by 21 women. Here are their names:
Kristen Anderson, Jessica Leeds, Ivana Trump, Jill Harth, Kristen Anderson, Lisa Boyne, Cathy Heller, Temple Taggart, Mariah Billado, Karena Virginia, Bridget Sullivan, Tasha Dixon, Melinda McGillvary, Jennifer Murphy, Rachael Crooks, Natasha Stoynoff, Ninni Laaksonen, Jessica Drake, Samantha Holvey, Summer Zervos, Cassandra Searles. I believe them. Do you?
Do I believe them? Hold on a sec; let’s do some quick analysis.
On one hand, we have the testimony of 21 women whose only relationship to one another is that they have all had the misfortune of being within groping distance of Donald Trump, and who, independently, tell remarkably similar stories about being sexually abused by this one man.
On the other hand, we have Donald Trump, who, according to those keeping score, has made 1628 false or misleading claims in the 298 days since he took office, many of them laughably disprovable, and has was caught on tape bragging proudly about his history of committing sex crimes against women.
Whom do I believe? Give me a minute to digest these two data points. Don’t rush me; I’m thinking…..
There are a great many highly experienced mental health professionals who have publicly expressed serious concern about Trump’s psychological pathology and instability.
It seems obvious that his personal criteria for the veracity of a statement has far more to do with its perceived utility than its relationship (or lack thereof) with reality.
We do have an advantage over the British, who suffered under the madness of King George – the 25th Amendment – so we can at least hope, however fondly, that the majority in congress will develop the spine to act.
Cameron,
How exactly did the ” British under the madness of King George suffer ” ?
Since George III was a Constitutional Monarch not an executive ruler or tyrant, his recurring bouts of illness ( most likely caused by bout’s of bi-polar disorder , popularly misdiagnosed as porphyria) didn’t6 effect the operation of the elected executive government, which simply appointed a Regent (his eldest son and heir George) to act in his place during bouts of illness.
mp – Do you seriously want a listing of all the direct and indirect ways a person can suffer when their monarch is a lunatic – whether or not their offspring rules as regent?
