"If you vote for Trump, you're voting for a rapist."

This didn't really work that first time.

A tape was released where he boasted about committing sexual assault. He bragged about grabbing them by the pussy. That tape came out like a month or two before the 2016 election. An October surprise that would have sunk any other candidate in the history of the USA. His fans did not care at all. Most of them probably cheered him on.

Rape? This is the party who think it's impossible to rape your own wife. Rape doesn't even exist to them.

That's the result:

But the civility. What will the donors think?

Keep in mind the Trump v Biden election cycle hasn’t even started. September/October are going to be spicy.

It doesn't help that she's accusing everyone of being paid off by Putin or the Chinese. The last ones she accused were pro-ceasefire activists because she can't imagine anyone would organically come to the conclusion that bombing babies is bad.

Traffic narcotics.

They probably killed Kennedy and MLK but now they’ve lost their edge?

The problem is time. Trump doesn't need any more criminal charges to send him to jail, he just needs the courts to finish doing their job, which takes time.

This is always said so dismissively. Like, even if everyone knows it, if it's still a problem it's a good idea to keep talking about it.

Better would be doing something about it, which she's not doing. But still.

Any staunch political operative saying anything at all about their opponent should be treated like nothing at all had been said, much less as news.

I mean, this statement would carry more weight from someone who wasn't the in Leadership for 30 years thanks entirely do to her prodigious fundraising abilities. For Nancy Pelosi, a woman who coordinated $37M from disgraced cryptocurrency con-artist Sam Bankman Fried in exchange for carte blanche legislative authorship, to complain about someone being financially influenced...

It isn't that she's wrong, its that - from Ted Cruz to Adam Schiff - getting fat stacks for your campaign / private business / family in exchange for influence over public policy is totally normal. Democrats are orders of magnitude more terrified of AIPAC than any MAGA Republican is of a Russian influence peddling campaign. And they're all bent over and cheeks spread to JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and the rest of the mega-banks.

The only thing that makes this news is the national understanding that getting kickbacks from a billionaire psychopath in Saudi Arabia or Korea is cool and good but getting them from a National Enemy like Putin is unacceptable.

I mean, there's a lot of evidence to support the accusation.

What other evidence do you require? All of his very well documented deals in Russia are only allowed if the Kremlin approves the contracts. Trump personally profits directly from those deals and he refused to put his holdings into a blind trust, casually continuing to profit off of dealings with the enemy.

What makes you think she just figured it out? Good chance she was asked to not confirm it/talk about it publicly for some reason or didn't feel like it was right do so. Why? No mother fucking clue (and I'm not defending her) but guaranteed people at the cia, fbi, etc have known about this for decades which would mean anyone with a security clearance probably knew as well.

Remember when we were the crazy conspiracy nut jobs because we "knew" russia helped get trump elected with a social media psy op campaign? Pepperidge farms remembers.
