    Off the rails? What did Trump say that was offensive? Keep in mind there's a thread on this board right now about Seattle saying math is racist. So what isn't racist or offensive to the left? This is just more manufactured hysteria for people who can't cope.

    Leftists are into NewSpeak where they get to redefine language for the purpose of thought control. It's some sick Orwellian crap they are involved in. "Lynching" is a perfect description of what the Leftists / Democrats are attempting.

    i view it like this the Dems are playing blackjack they get a hand of twenty (syria, Mulvaney and Doral) and instead of doing the prudent thing and stay they try to hit again (hysteria over a non issue).

    If they didn't exist, his grabbing may be even more disturbing behaviour.

    True, although the context of that was that he said when you are a star they let you do it (which isn't true) . . . and he said he didn't wait for consent . . . and he was simultaneously telling a story about a women who rebuffed his attempts to, and I quote, "[move] on her like a bitch."

    It may very well have just been quasi-psychopathic bragging, which is bad enough, but I'm not saying it is any more than that.

    What is clear from this thread is that Trump supporters have given up on disputing the avalanche of facts burying their leader and have chosen to focus on process. That's not going to help much given that the Dems are going strictly by the book on this.

    How do you know women didn’t let him grab them? You ever heard of groupies standing outside bands green rooms? And there are loads of women who sleep with movie stars because they’re movie stars or athletes or rappers or anyone famous. Been happening since time of memorial.

    But as anyone with a lick of sense knows, he was bragging to a younger better looking guy in a private conversation trying to bond or impress him or whatever. He could have been BSing who knows? Translating that into him being a sexual predator means that interpretation one from a literal insane person.

    Because, at least by his own account, he doesn't wait for consent and not every woman consents. "There are loads of willing women" =/= "Every woman is willing."

    “They let you.” Willing participant.

    Obama by his own admission raised a son who attempted to murder someone. Hey if we’re taking a mans word and all:)

    Any non psychopath can tell you that, no, they don't all let you. In his own words he shared a story of a woman that he "moved on like a bitch" and who didn't let him. And he said he didn't wait for consent. And I'm as uninterested in defending Obama as I am interested in your attempt to change the subject.

    Oh honey dear, I had no idea!

    Well here, why don't you give me an example of two of trump doing something that you would consider racist and I'll just wait to post anything that even suggests it until he does one of those things.

    how did Trump use the word Lynching negatively towards any group? This just comes across to a true independent as trying to be the word police.

    now had he said "theyre trying to lynch me like a n word" then ya outrage justified but that didn't happen.

    Did you know, bragging and exaggerating is not an evidence?

    Did you hear, one cannot incriminate oneself by bragging and exaggerating and not under oath?

    Gee.....

    There is a "conceptual" meaning of " lynching" in modern day. It is often used to describe a a group attacking a person without giving them due process.

    By this "conceptual" use of the word, President Trump was spot on. Many people of all nationalities were lynched without reciving
    due process during and after the civil war, in the American West and many minorities of all races in California in the 1800s.

    In this respect Trump was insinuating that the Democrats (the group) were impeaching him without allowing him due process of a fair process. He obviously was using the word literally, but was using it conceptually.

    Most people understand the comparison.If they know what conceptual means. Democrats naturally used what he said to once again call him a racist.

    As far as I know, Fake Don never grabbed Biden, although, since he fancied that his celebrity licensed him to grab women, I don't see why his delusion would necessarily be sexist.
