Showing Original Post only (View all)NYT Opinion piece is brilliant. Predator in Chief and James Comey [View all]

"In the infamous Access Hollywood tape, Mr. Trump said of any woman he wanted: I just start kissing them. Its like a magnet. Just kiss. I dont even wait. And when youre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. And he added: Grab em by the pussy. You can do anything. With the power of the presidency at his disposal, Mr. Trump thought that he could use the psychology of coercive seduction on the nations chief law enforcement officer.
Victims of sexual harassment often face skepticism, doubts and accusations when they tell their story. Thats part of the predators power. But Im here to tell James Comey, and all the women and men who have suffered at the hands of predators, I believe you."
Author connects Trump's behavior toward Comey to his Access Hollywood tape statements about how he treats women.
I love one of the comments on the article where some dolt says Comey was very big, should have been able to handle it.

Exactly! "I hope we have sex" when said by a boss to an employee isn't just about "hope" is it.

and why did the "I hope" convo have to happen with 2 of them alone if it was so innocent?

What I said last night: it was a seduction scene. All the men with good reputations now soiled...

In the meantime few GOPers at the hearing try to minimize the situation!
