So a little initiative by women on Facebook took off like wildfire the other day.\u00a0 It simply consisted of women who have been sexually harrassed or assaulted writing \u201cMe too\u201d on their walls.\u00a0 The simple point was to try to get it through thick male skulls that This Is a Thing and not a rarity.\u00a0 The astonishing thing for this Thick Headed Male was just how many women answered the call.\u00a0 The immensity of the\u00a0#<\/span>metoo<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0movement takes my breath away and breaks my heart. I just didn\u2019t know. I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n

As this was all happening there was, elsewhere on Facebook, Severe Moral Dudgeon being directed at the gross and awful Harvey Weinstein.\u00a0 But when somebody dared to point out that the people outraged at Weinstein thought Trump was the Savior of American Christendom, they were promptly rebuked for their mean assaults on America\u2019s Favorite Baby Christian.\u00a0 His confession of sexual assault was nothing of the sort, we were assured.\u00a0 He only said what he *could* have done, not what he did.\u00a0 No comparison!\u00a0 So mean!\u00a0 So uncharitable!\u00a0 O the humanity!<\/p>\n

Yeah.<\/p>\n

Trump<\/strong>: I did try and fuck her, she was married.\u201d<\/p>\n
Unknown<\/strong>: \u201cThat\u2019s huge news there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump<\/strong>:\u00a0\u201cNo, no, Nancy. No this was [inaudible] and I moved on her very heavily in fact I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said I\u2019ll show you where they have some nice furniture. I moved on her like a bitch. I couldn\u2019t get there and she was married.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Trump<\/strong>: \u201cYeah that\u2019s her with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I\u2019m automatically attracted to beautiful\u2026 I just start kissing them. It\u2019s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don\u2019t even wait. And when you\u2019re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bush<\/strong>: \u201cWhatever you want.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump<\/strong>: \u201cGrab them by the pussy. You can do anything.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cAnd when you\u2019re a star they let you do it.\u201d\u00a0 This is not a confession of what he could<\/em> do.\u00a0 This is a confession of what he has<\/em> done.<\/p>\n
And lo! There are at least sixteen women who have come forward to confirm what Trump has confessed.\u00a0 So Trump confesses being a sex predator and sixteen of his victims confirm that he preyed on them.\u00a0 A real He Said\/She Said situation.\u00a0 One of them has even subpoenaed the Trump Campaign for documents on other allegations against the Weinstein-in-Chief.<\/a><\/p>\n
Here are the others:<\/p>\n
