Well, the Trump tape is really the Bush tape, That was GWs’s nephew as a cub reporter egging Donald on and secretly recording him. Also, it was 11 years ago, when Trump was a Democrat. His role model was Bill Clinton, who said and did much worse. At least Trump was only speaking in fantasy and agreeing with what mini Bush said. It may be crude, but that was a form of male bonding. Any male Trump’s age has heard stuff like that in sports or whenever the guys get together. The most hypocritical criticism was from John McCain, who said Trump’s language was disqualifying. Often that kind of talk is described as dirty sailor talk. Well, McCain was in the Navy. Surely, he’s heard that stuff before and most likely participated. If you didn’t you were thought of as a pu***y by your fellows. McCain is indeed a phony war hero. He never fought the enemy. He simply got shot down and held prisoner. Supposedly, he resisted the Communist guards and refused to confess his war crimes. Maybe he did, but once he returned to the USA and was elected, he only held out for a few months against the Communists in Congress. First, he was compliant, then accommodating, and finally a co-conspirator. As a Republican, an Arizona resident, and a former combat veteran, I would rather write in Donald Duck than McCain in his re-election.
Mercy, you write savage stuff like this … and … there must be medication that needs adjusting … I mean, this is the kindly interpretation.
Step back, enjoy the irony.
You said those Rinos did not hold your values and you were right. And they are all lining up behind Hils.
Maybe you need to examine these values. If they are not Republican, what are they?
Libby you’ve been reading this blog for how many years now? Longer than I’ve been here.
You’ve been present as we expressed anger and disappointment in the elites in Washington of both parties. They all line up now to defend a single DC power structure (And protect evidence of their corruption?).
Your Bernie pretended to be outside of that structure but caved in the end…maybe you need to examine a few things your own self!
Don’t play dumb!
Libby is right, and this is disgusting. I don’t know what’s worse:
–The pathetic excuses for Trump’s admission of sexual assault
–Throwing John McCain, an actual war hero, under the bus to support Trump
–Ranting about imaginary “Communists in Congress” as if this is still the McCarthy era
“Well, the Trump tape is really the Bush tape,”
No. Billy Bush isn’t running for president.
“That was GWs’s nephew as a cub reporter egging Donald on and secretly recording him.”
Trump knew he was being recorded.

“Also, it was 11 years ago, when Trump was a Democrat.”
This is completely irrelevant, unless you think becoming a Republican magically drained Trump of all misogyny. Since Trump has made misogynistic comments all through this campaign–including making up a lie about a critic’s sex tape as recently as two weeks ago–we know this isn’t true. No one was surprised by Trump’s comments–we all knew this is what he was like.
“His role model was Bill Clinton, who said and did much worse.”
There is no evidence of Bill Clinton saying or doing worse. He has been accused of sexual assault and rape, but so has Trump.
Only one of these men is on video bragging about sexual assault.
“At least Trump was only speaking in fantasy”
No, he said he was describing actions he had previously taken.
“and agreeing with what mini Bush said.”
This is a complete lie. Bush never said anything about walking up to women and forcibly kissing them, or grabbing them by the genitals. Trump said all of that himself. You have created a fantasy version of the events because it makes you feel better about supporting a confessed grabber of women.
“It may be crude, but that was a form of male bonding. Any male Trump’s age has heard stuff like that in sports or whenever the guys get together.”
No. Several athletes have come out to say this is NOT normal locker room talk. You are insulting men as a gender by claiming this is normal behavior, and you are proving feminists right when they say that a “rape culture” exists.
“The most hypocritical criticism was from John McCain, who said Trump’s language was disqualifying. Often that kind of talk is described as dirty sailor talk. Well, McCain was in the Navy. Surely, he’s heard that stuff before and most likely participated.”
Now you are just making stuff up. You have no idea if McCain ever talked like this or supported it, but you insist he must have and then call him a hypocrite. That makes no sense. You are also disparaging our military by insisting that bragging about sexual assault is common among soldiers. What’s wrong with you?
“If you didn’t you were thought of as a pu***y by your fellows.”
So wait. If you don’t brag about sexual assault by women, you’re thought of as a p***y? Even if that’s true–which it isn’t–so what? The opinion of other men is so important to you that you’re going to brag about sexual assault just to impress them? Who’s the ****** then?
“McCain is indeed a phony war hero. He never fought the enemy. He simply got shot down and held prisoner. Supposedly, he resisted the Communist guards and refused to confess his war crimes.”
This is disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself.
“Maybe he did, but once he returned to the USA and was elected, he only held out for a few months against the Communists in Congress.”
There are no Communists in Congress; you are un-American and want a return to one our country’s darkest periods. Trump would bring us there.
These are the rantings of someone with his back against the wall. Soaps knows that Trump is losing badly and is now just throwing everything out there to see what sticks. The desperation of Trump’s few remaining supporters will be interesting to watch over the next few weeks.
For those willing to accept reality, the Weekly Standard has said that it’s time to accept that Clinton is going to win the White House and to focus on keeping the House for Republicans. You WILL NOT be able to do that by clinging to Trump. If his fans remain a loud voice within the Republican party even after he loses, you can kiss the Republican party goodbye.
Hello, Jerry. didn’t you used to be Chris? No, I am not disparaging our soldiers. I would never do that. Unlike you, I am a former soldier, who served in a combat zone in 1969-70. I am also a service-connected disabled vet. In case you don’t know what that means, it is that the VA has determined that my disability was caused by my time in the service. I am a great supporter of vets. I am a member of the Vietnam Veterans of America, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, and the Disabled American Veterans. Like most veterans, I once supported McCain, and I expected him to help us. He did not. As you may know the Phoenix Veterans Hospital was the epicenter of the scandal about vets never getting their appointments. I can verify that is true, since I am one of those victims. I have also been exposed to Agent Orange, which causes all sorts of physical problems in later years. When some of my friends who served with me at the same time and place came down with diseases associated with AO, they advised me to go in and be checked out. I did that at the Phoenix Veterans Hospital. I was tested for all sorts of things. Before I left that day, I asked the AO expert what I should do next. He said, nothing at all. Just go home and wait. A panel of doctors will review your test results, and call you in for consultation and treatment. No one ever called, and I mean Never. I was about to call the AO guy again when the big scandal broke about vets being put on waiting lists and then forgotten about or the waiting lists purged so the administrators could claim that all appointments are promptly handled. They received thousands of dollars in bonuses for such excellent work. It has been five years now, and I am still waiting for that apocryphal appointment.
This all happened while McCain was pretending to protect the veterans. Since then, still no changes. Some people at the VA hospital should have gone to jail, but no one did. A more recent survey found that the same problems still exist. The only possible solution was to let vets go to private doctors, who would be paid by the VA. McCain opposed that plan. Trump supports it.
Have worked in Election Central in AZ many times and unfortunately in that state, write-ins are a waste of a vote. They just don’t count as AZ requires write-ins to be “official” although I’m not quite sure how that works.
Have met and had meetings with McLame and I agree with you, but the alternative is WORSE! This year, it’s “hold your nose and vote against” rather than “vote for.” And that includes the prezidential race.
As Jack said, we don’t have an alternative to McCain, which is why I will vote for neither. But it is even worse. Arizona’s other RINO senator is Jeff Flake, who is indeed a flake. I don’t keep up with the local news anymore, because the paper and tv stations have been bought and taken over by liberals funded by the George Soros crowd, but I think I recall some details of the recent case in which Flake’s son and daughter-in-law were involved in the operation of a dog kennel in the Phoenix area. They neglected their duties and left the kennel, leaving the dogs without food, water, or any monitoring, at least for all night and maybe longer. The air conditioner died, and so did 23 dogs who had been left in their care. When the bodies were discovered, instead of notifying the dog owners, they tried to cover up the evidence. The kennel owners, who had been out of town and left the care to Austin Flake and his wife, returned and continued the cover-up, claiming the dogs just ran away. They were all indicted on animal cruelty charges. A summer in Arizona can be brutally hot and has been deadly for dogs left in closed up cars. Little babies have also died that way. Negligent homicide charges are routinely filed against the parents of the children, and animal cruelty charges are often filed against dog owners who knowingly leave their pets to die in a hot car. “Knowingly” means you should have known that a creature cannot survive in a closed up car (or room without ac) for long when it is 112 degrees outside.
The charges against Austin Flake and his wife were later dropped, with unproven but suspected interference by the Senator. The company owners pled guilty. That case has been appealed and maybe overturned. The dog owners have filed civil suits. The defendants have filed their own civil suits against Joe Arpaio and the Maricopa County Attorney. Don’t you just love those lawyers?
