Reading the responses to the AP tweet, it has seemingly become cool on social media to tell your personal rape story. I think it is healthy direction as a people, but it sure brings out the skeptic in me seeing all of the attention it garners the alleged victim on social media.

And probably 99% of those "stories" being posted as replies are fake. Making yourself out to be a victim is the ultimate virtue signaling for liberals.CJS4715 said:

Trump can get away with this. He's amoral. It's what drives the democrats insane because it neuters their typically effective playbook. Trump banged pornstars? No *****PanzerAggie06 said:

Good point.aTm2004 said:
What you're missing is that anything Trump does will be seen as negative by the media. If he tweets, no matter what it is, they'll jump on it and turn it into a negative and say he's attacking victims. If he doesn't do anything, they'll say his silence shows how much he doesn't care. That's why I really DGAF about his tweets nor do I worry about what the media says about them.

Eh, they were pretty good back in the day when the Texas/Red Dirt scene took off. Chilifest in '04 was Jason Boland, CCR, Pat Green, Sammy Kershaw, and George Jones.blindey said:Not the good CCR, the Texas country band.BenFiasco14 said:I'm irrationally angry you got to see CCR live....aTm2004 said:I...I was working CARPOOL at Harry's one night during a CCR concert.

I don't know about 99% but surely done are fake.
On a side note:johnnyblaze36 said:
He did give the media fodder with the tweets but it shouldn't matter. Just look at this headline already from the AP. Trump "blasts accuser by name"...GTFO.

I apologize. It was a different time then. Plus they had $1 wells til 10 pm.
Gee, amercer lies and calls it "rape?" No way! Bet you can check back on his Roy Moore posts and he called Moore a pedophile or a child molester.Rapier108 said:Ford is not a victim of rape even if her accusations are true. The term rape has been used to describe numerous things which do not meet the legal definition of rape.amercer said:FireAg said:I wish I had a nickle for every time someone claimed "Oh!!! Trump ****ed up bigly this time!!! He's DOOOOOOOMED!!!", only for his approach to work...amercer said:
Instead of keeping his mouth shut and letting the story play out (a strategy that was actually working pretty well for republicans) he blows the whole thing up. Expect wall to wall coverage all weekend with experts and rape victims explaining why most rapes go unreported.
This was a really dumb move by trump.
Again, the political paradigm has experienced a historical shift, and all assumptions about political correctness should be thrown into the garbage...
It's not about political correctness, it's about strategy. He has given the media an excuse to turn the story away from Ford and onto rape victims in general.
I think most people are skeptical of Ford because of the timing of the allegations and the lack of evidence. Rape victims in general though are about the most sympathetic people you could put on tv. Trump has now picked a fight with that group.
This is why the left claims the majority of women are raped in college, and we have a "rape culture" on college campuses. They now define nearly anything as rape, even a drunk on a dance floor playing grab ass.
Yep. They'll be in a frenzy all day and probably weekend about Trump while Grassley tells her lawyer to shove her demands and be there on Monday.blindey said:
Didn't mean to cause such a stir/derail with my post. Cross Canadian Ragweed = good. Credence Clearwater Revival = legendary.
Now back to my thesis: Trump tweeted to make this whole farce about him to give cover to (R) senators to ignore Ford's crazy demands, ignore the NY Times call to impeach, and just have a vote.
You missed the coverage last night? Already done.PanzerAggie06 said:
Isn't this guy a fairly well placed lawyer in DC? If so, what a complete moron. Talk about stepping in it in a major way. Of course I won't be surprised if the media plays it as, "Republican strategist makes unfounded accusation against Kavanaugh classmate". They won't see the irony in this at all.

He had dropped hints for a few days that he was going to drop something big so not sure he can even claim he was drunk. Unless of course he's a raging alcoholic who is drunk 24/7.
If he did this, his reputation is ruined.biobioprof said:You missed the coverage last night? Already done.PanzerAggie06 said:
