      Still confused why that fiasco didn’t end his political career forever.

        Comey came out days later and said Hillary was under Federal investigation while completely omitting that Trump was under federal investigation.

        This fully eclipsed the grab them by the pussy tape.

        @Artyom @seaQueue The American political system is in many ways supposed to be self-correcting. There’s no real mechanisms. Except that which are enforced. I always used to wonder about this when learning about politics in school. It seemed like anyone could do anything but I just assumed everyone was smarter than me. So what happens is people do things and they expect you to be so embarrassed you bow out. And that’s fine for most people except extremely insane people like Trump.

          @Artyom @seaQueue American politics is literally everything you see in every heist/longcon/grifter movie. If you act like you belong, people will just assume you belong. Donald Trump didn’t act like he was guilty, so people just assumed he wasn’t guilty. Doesn’t matter how much evidence you throw at them. If he was wrong and guilty he would have left. And that’s without getting into the financial incentives other people have to lie and play along.

      Are you disputing the results of the poll? Although I will say that it was a poll of registered voters, which I would expect to skew old, conservative, and white.

          Selection bias, Self selection bias, reward bias, bias in the questions and how they are presented, etc. You have to really know some stuff to not have a fucked survey result and even then some of those biases will still be present. If they don’t even bother with error % boundaries it’s probably going to have some other problems too.

    It’s also stupid because Trump doesn’t really respect anyone regardless of gender. He just regards people as furniture.

      He regards them the same way a carpenter regards nails when he’s framing a house, assuming the carpenter has a deeply rooted hatred for his job and the tools required to complete it.

      Trump loves his beautiful generals. He loves Big Guys. He absolutely adores a strong man dictator, whether its Mussolini or Kim Jung Un or Putin or Xi or Duterte or Netanyahu. Anyone a line of guys in uniform have to salute can win Trump’s heart.

      He’s simply got a hard on for powerful people. Margaret Thatcher’s Iron Lady act absolutely gets his rod up.

      Can’t read the article due to a paywall, but in theory, I hard agree. There’s no way they found a statistically significant number of humans of any age or gender who think Trump respects women. His confession to rape is literally on Youtube.

      Lol, this headline is a parody.

      “The South respects their slaves, says Southern white slave owners.”

      “North Korea says all North Korean citizens live wonderful lives, says Top North Korean Government Official.”

        Women are assholes too and this has ti be one of the dumbest acreenshots ive ever seen. Let’s just play a word game where we swap out genders:

        The only kind of woman who says, “Not all women are ashholes,” is an asshole. If you really were a “nice woman,” you’d be saying, “Wow, lots of women are fucking assholes to men. Let’s do something to change that.”

        It’s really that simple.

        Especially because, by saying “not all men!!!,” you are conceding that, yes, some women. Some women are assholes.

        So, like, you’ll admit there’s a problem but you won’t do anything about it? You won’t join us in trying to stop it? Then you definitely are one of those women, pal. You’re not one of the “nice women.”

    Why on earth is the NYT writing shit articles such as this one? I thought they were one of the last remaining journals with some integrity. They’re determined to keep trump relevant and therefore help him win the election. Eh? Well fuck them too then.

      I don’t know. I’m suspecting the question was asked in some very weird way. I refuse to believe this is true. Maybe I’m out of touch, not being from America. But this just seems so unlikely to me.

      Even people that like the guy, must have heard his opinion on women many times before now.

    They can make these polls say anything they want. Hey, this time call 60 trumpers and 20 democrats and 20 fence sitters. That should give us the proper ratio for out next click bait headline.
