    No argument there, either. The initial response to this thread immediately brought to mind the axiom my mother drilled into me early in my childhood--"Two wrongs don't make a right." People defending using crude language in regard to the President by pointing out his usage of the same are not presenting much of a defense. Either one thinks it's OK, or one doesn't; other people's actions don't define right and wrong.

    For what reason would all these women come out against Weinstein? I don't see your contrived reasons as being reasoned or reasonable. Just contrived.

    For what reason would a few women come out against Trump in the closing stretch of the election? Duh. Democrats outed Anita Hill for the same purpose. Their playbook is really old and their methods transparent to those who care to see.

    The claims against Weinstein are not extraordinary. There is a tape made by one of his victims of him actually assaulting her.

    The claims against Trump were made public and the voters voted him in anyway. I think they passed judgement on the issue and came to the same conclusion as I did. That democrats cannot stoop too low to defeat the democratic process.

    not your call.....being a decent human being is not being overly sensitive....it's being a decent human being...I can laugh at jokes if the person telling the joke is not an exercise in boasting of power over women who do not invite his attentions. I don't like lyrics about bitches and hos either....choices

    It absolutely is my call.

    You're offended by what was clearly a joke and in private.

    Or you're faking being offended just to make hay out of nothing. That's how it comes across (by you and the media).

    They brought forth ridiculous sexual misconduct charges to try to deny Thomas his office.

    They brought forth ridiculous sexual misconduct charges to try to deny Trump his office.

    Same playbook.

    no...I'm offended by the nature of the joke and that it happened in the workplace and was directed at one of the employees....but like I said..you must identify with this behavior to find humor in it.

    can you say, with 100% certainty, that all of his accusers are lying? of course not. only donald trump can say that.

    He lies about half the things he says. maybe this is one of them? No! unpossible!!

    I can't say with any certainty that any are telling the truth. The timing is highly suspicious. The tape was weaponized and strategically released to damage Trump's chances.

    http://www.tmz.com/2016/10/12/nbc-trump-tape-billy-bush-plan-election-debate/

    NBC PLANNED TO USE TRUMP AUDIO TO INFLUENCE DEBATE, ELECTION

    NBC execs had a plan to time the release of the Donald Trump audio to have maximum impact on both the 2nd presidential debate and the general election ... sources connected with the network tell TMZ.

    Multiple sources connected with NBC tell us ... top network execs knew about the video long before they publicly said they did, but wanted to hold it because it was too early in the election. The sources say many NBC execs have open disdain for Trump and their plan was to roll out the tape 48 hours before the debate so it would dominate the news cycle leading up to the face-off.

    As we reported, Billy Bush was bragging about the tape -- in front of NBC execs at the Rio Olympics -- in early August. NBC says it's only known about the tape for a little more than a week.

    We're told the plan was to edit the tape to keep the focus on Trump and not Billy. "Access Hollywood" we're told was not going to air the portion where Trump and Billy got off the bus and Billy goaded Trump and the soap star to hug. Our sources say the tape was going to be "sanitized" to protect Billy as much as possible.

    Case in point ... after The Washington Post ran the story, 'Access' aired their footage and cut out the parts where Billy looked worse -- saying things like, "Jeez! Your girl's hot as s*** in the purple!"

    It is interesting here to see when logic is not used and feeling rules in the decision making process. It is further compounded if not confounded but it matter who is doing the feeling or not.

    Here we have a joke, a crude joke. Hardly funny but the other person in the scene laughed anyway.
    But forget that part, to be correct you must feel empathy for the hypothetical woman, the brunt of the crude joke.
    It is not correct to sense the silliness of two men having a crude conversation, you must feel the right thing.
    Logically we should hear what a man says he feels and what he senses. Neither are wrong. Neither can be correct. They both are the way people work.
    People are not the same, they do not value the same input the same, they do not even process it the same.

    You could speak volumes about this. What you do or do not feel does not fill a volume, perhaps part of a page.

    Well to tell you the truth, it does not make me feel. But I suspect You feel something just by posting it. What would that be?
    There is no logic to your post, it can only be intended for a feel affect.
    Want to share your intent?
