(19,564 posts)Tom Arnold for the win! Just in time for the media to need a new scandal to boost their ratings, too.
Maybe China will get their hackers on it even?! Let's see how Trump and the Republicans feel when the shoe is on the other foot.

(297,154 posts)hacking the rnc/trump.. it's just been Russia hacking the DNC and all the shite that entailed.
If trump keeps insulting China maybe they'll do more than mock his ugly arse.

(53,031 posts)Only Wikileaks didn't publish any of it, perhaps because they never received the files or like Putin, Assange wanted Trump to win, as he said he did.

Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)And my response to her was that if he got elected after bragging about grabbing women by the pussy and getting away with it, having him say the "n word" and worse on tape won't bring him down. The Brietbart voters will probably applaud him for it.
But it will surely piss him off and send him off the rails.

(56,828 posts)guys bragging about women can be written off as "locker room" talk and some people will buy it. Using the N word, or worse, is not quite the same. Country Club locker room talk doesn't quite have the same ring to it if you're out there using the N word repeatedly? Maybe he loses a bunch of the 16% of African American men with college degrees and the 11% without that voted Trump?
Maybe he won't lose the Breitbart voters, but that isn't nearly all of his constituency.
I keep repeating it over and over again, but if you flip just 1% of the votes nationally this past election, you have Clinton in an electoral landslide, as she picks up FL, NC, MI, WI and PA. And, Arizona and Georgia are closer.

(7,820 posts)He bragged about sexual assault. Using the N word is horrible, but saying what he said about women and how he treated women was essentially nbd but this will be? Umm, no.

(153,150 posts)from what I understand, consent is implied in all such boasting, no matter how ridiculous it is
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)but, the media took what Trump said and then the story became one of the many Trump scandals that were outweighed by Clinton using a private server to send emails.
Locker Room talk typically stops once guys get out of high school, and, yes, consent is almost always implied. In fact, it's the opposite of what Trump said - it's more like, "She couldn't keep her hands off of me" instead of him not keeping his hands off of her...

I can't listen to him. I mute the TV or radio if his voice is on. I am genuinely repulsed.

Which means he will get an extra $50 bucks a tweet from Skittles, to say how much he
loves them.
Does anyone here really think these tapes will ever been seen or heard.
Please, I know its been a tough year, but lets not be idiots here.
Tom Arnold is playing people for fools.

Xytech would be a tough nut to crack; they base their business model on being secure from hackers.
Not saying it isn't possible to crack them, but what Tom Arnold did was equivalent to saying, "oh hey - here's where billions in gold are stored, ready for the taking: 37.9161° N, 85.9562° W"

But maybe it will cause Trump to blow a gasket.
kennetha
(3,666 posts)The fight has just begun. Time to go into determined resistance mode. We want to discredit and delegitimize Trump. We want him to take office under a massive cloud.
Remember, he suffers from a severe form of narcissistic personality disorder. He feeds off adulation and affirmation. Our goal needs to be to take that from him. It is already eating away at him that he lost the popular vote. It will drive him bat shit crazy if his legitimacy i further eroded and challenged. That's why he and his minions are fighting like hell to change the subject.
We need to make him feel so despised that he loathes the day he ever decided to run for (and then steal) the presidency.
Never surrender.

(3,702 posts)Release all the tapes...of course the ppl who already voted for Trump won't care and we are stuck with him as president. But we also have elected GOP officials running for re-election...and if tapes are released with Trump saying racist/sexist/bigoted shit those GOP members are going to be in the awkward position of standing by their party or rejecting his crap. A lot of GOP got elected in down ticket races because they were able to side step any association with Trump...but more tapes will make it harder to dismiss him and his rhetoric.

If they have the evidence, why the fuck don't they just release it? We already know how he talks when he thinks he's not being heard. This will just reinforce what we all already know.

Maybe he will prove me wrong and actually release the information. Otherwise, his nose is growing.
