Whoever wrote that onion article should be fired. Not only is it not funny, but it's really poorly written.

DaveC · 10-09-2016, 04:56 PM

dear baby jesus that article is bad

cobl04 · 10-09-2016, 05:01 PM

??? I don't see what's wrong with it? It's mocking all the stupid tweets and statements from Republicans who qualified their outrage by saying they had daughters, rather than just being outraged for what was said.

It's not the point. It's the lack of humor and the terrible writing.

It's like a 14 year old wrote it on a web forum fan fiction page.

You didn't notice it, the minute a direct "quote" was given to a group of people? "Who wrote this article? I would like to have a word with their editor. The onion may be satire, but it is no joke" said multiple readers in disgust.

Hell nah.

Everyone loves a good car wreck

corianderstem · 10-09-2016, 06:11 PM

I "love" (I use the word sarcastically, in case you couldn't tell from the quotation marks) that Trumpsters have gone from "BUT BILL CLINTON THO" to "BUT 50 SHADES OF GREY SOLD 80 MILLION COPIES THO."

It is the weirdest shit, man. I mean, I get that it's because they think people are clutching their pearls because he said "fuck" and "pussy," and now they're just hypocrites because they were salivating over some shittily-written porn.

It's just *so* fucking stupid.

Moonlit_Angel · 10-09-2016, 06:16 PM

I saw that argument on another site, too, yeah. Truly bizarre leap of thought there.

(Random aside, but I'm watching a "48 Hours" episode right now where a man was murdered, and there's talk about him being involved with a lot of shady businesses and people. He and his ex-wife were apparently super rich...and friends with Donald and Marla Trump. Of all the shows to hear his name pop up...).

BoMac · 10-09-2016, 06:17 PM

If he had said "I grabbed her vagina" instead, guess what, he's still admitting to sexual assault.

It would also mean he had no clue about female anatomy, because it's hard to grab a part that's inside the body.

But yes, totally.

deep · 10-09-2016, 06:24 PM

he has small hands

corianderstem · 10-09-2016, 06:25 PM

Ha ha haaaaa, good point.

corianderstem · 10-09-2016, 06:29 PM

I admit to not having done much reading/research into Bill Clinton's alleged rapes. Were he running for office now, I would. Neither have I done much reading into the tales of Hillary trying to "shut down" or shame his accusers. I probably should, but at this point, it's not going to change my vote. And honestly, I'm not inclined to read into it since most of the attacks come from virulent anti-Clinton people online, and they're rarely very credible.

I just read this, and thought it was an interesting take.

Juanita Broaddrick’s rape allegations are credible. Her attacks on Hillary Clinton are not.

A Republican politician who doesn't understand how the female body works? Color me shocked.

At this point I think it's cruel to even put this man in the same context as a republican politician.

And I really don't want to defend them.

corianderstem · 10-09-2016, 06:35 PM

I mean, even if Trump were really walking around grabbing women's pussies, what's the big deal? We all know the female body has ways of shutting that whole thing down.

Moonlit_Angel · 10-09-2016, 06:45 PM

Hm. Good point, Lucky.

Re: Cori's article, I was about 13, 14 years old when the whole scandal with Bill Clinton broke during his presidency, and all I remember hearing about at that time was him having affairs. Not that I condone having affairs, either, but if it were just a (consensual) affair that was the problem, that would be an issue solely for the Clintons and the woman Bill cheated with to sort out. I didn't hear details about the sexual assault allegations until years after Bill left office.

Presuming those accusations are true, that's horrifying, and he definitely needs to answer for them. That should be a matter of concern to the public at large, because it's a crime.

I agree with the article's stance, though, that Hilary should not be held responsible for Bill's actions/crimes, and I don't understand the people who believe otherwise.

And if Trump is indeed planning on trying to get on some moral high horse against her tonight, he can put a sock in it.
