I have been divorced twice, neither of my choice but, perhaps, my fault. Moral judgement can be a difficult pill to swallow.

I just reviewed your posts for the past 15+ years. You really need to get over your TDS. You have more to offer than that. Would be good for you to finally put up a personal page. Spread the joy a bit.

Making mountains out of molehills like this is what has put all men in potential danger these days.

We’ve lost all sense of proportion.

Or, to put it much more simply, it is a lack of charity. Christ taught charity and forgiveness, and was the living embodiment of kindness. Kindness is sorely missing throughout our society these days.

those are two obviously and very misleading photos...to post them here in this context is malicious and unbecoming what conservatives claim to be about

Yes. A lot of the ‘Christians’ here seem to lose all sense of charity when political hatreds become involved.

I understand. The rules do not apply to Trump. A word of advice, if you are going to judge people on their morality, be consistent.

I feel bad for the women who actually do suffer “sexual abuse.” For this woman to label what happened to her as “sexual abuse” lessens the weight of the tern, and somehow takes away from the women who actually did have “sexual abuse.”

They could call this “harassment” but that too’s a little strong since it only happened during the one time.

Also, having cared for my 4 elderly parents and in-laws, there is a part of aging , in some, not all, that removes the filter of decorum, and you hear them say things you wouldn’t have ever heard in their younger years.

It's the 2008 Summer Olympics. George W. Bush shows up for a photo op with Beach Volleyball players in bikinis.

One bends over offering him to brush her ass. He happily accepts instead of declining.

His father is also obsessed with grabbing girls asses.

How the hell is that misleading and malicious?

Sexual assault, as currently defined, is the next weapon for the left to bring down anyone they dont like.

I’m not really making a judgment about you, as I know nothing. Trump’s divorces sort of played out in public. However, while I can have an opinion of them, they are none of my business, and do not effect my choice of candidate. Maybe fifty years ago.

All of Trump's ex wifes are publicly very supportive of him.

That has to be some sort of ex-wife record...

I don’t see Dubya actually touching either of those girls, although one of the girls is coming close to patting his rear end...

Bush spent his entire 2nd term not fighting back against liberals and democrats claiming it wasn't 'presidential'.

Then he shows up to an Olympic photo op and does what even Bill Clinton wouldn't do in front of cameras...

Too easy, when a democrat is the perpetrator.

Context...misrepresting it and connecting it to the current spate of sexual assault allegations. Doing so knowingly is malicious. First photo is the PLAYFUL and fully public INVITATION by the woman to participate in hijinks. Second photo is GWB and the other woman putting their arms around each other’s waist for a photo. It’s a gesture repeated countless times since the invention of photography. Go ahead and hate the Bushes all you want, but lose sight of your humanity and decentcy at your own risk.
