Cashing in on notoriety?

Jon "Milksop" Allsop is a Brit poofter pretending to be a "journalist".

More likely a "jerbilist", as in hiding gerbils...

It wasn’t actually a new story, right? Because she had already mentioned it before.

And it doesn’t “echo” Trump’s statements, because his statement was that some women would just let you grab their crotch, because you are famous and have money — sadly, probably true. He never said that women would let him forcibly have sex with them in a deserted changing room.

And “corroboration” is a bit strong of a word for “two other people say NOW that they were told about this 23 years ago”. Corroboration is more like if you tell someone immediately, and then when you go to police a month later, and they ask why you didn’t tell anybody, you say “I told these people”.

After 23 years, it is more likely that someone who was your friend 23 years ago might just agree they remember a story, and claim it is whatever is being said now. like if she told them 23 years ago that some guy fondled her, they would now say “yep, I remember her telling us Trump raped her”. Because they will only remember some vague story about it.

And while I don’t discount the possibility the story is true, Trump was already pretty famous 23 years ago. It is surprising to me that, when he ran for office in 2016, neither this woman, NOR the other two women who claim they were told trump raped her, came out. If there was evidence that the otehr two had tried to reach out to her in 2016 to get her to tell her story — THAT would be “corroboration”.

“Context is always deleted, when that “quote” is used, in the MSM. Here’s an excerpt from the transcript:”

What is also not mentioned was that Donald Trump was on a show with Billy Bush. Trump was stuck on a bus with Billy Bush and Billy Bush was bugging Trump to talk to him about the woman who were also on the show. Bush was saying how he wanted to have sex with the women and was egging Trump on to say something. Trump was a captive audience. He could not just walk away. He thought it was just a private conversation and he did not know that Billy Bush was secretly taping him.

Just before the 2016 election Bush got out the 11 year old tape and gave/sold it to the media. The media enthusiastically edited out all the sex related things Billy Bush had been saying to trap Trump and just played the Trump “pussy” quote over and over.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid should get the creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti to come on her show. He’ll agree with her and find a stable of women to agree with E. Jean Carroll - Maybe some will testify of rape rooms and long lines of teenage boys helping Trump with the action...

Exactly. After what the left did to Kavanaugh, I just don’t believe their rape claims anymore.

Yea yea. We get it. All white men are racist and rapists.

That’s strange seeing that statistically white men have possibly raped one black gal in all of human history. Maybe.

Yeh sure, some one is raping you in an exclusive store and you don’t say a word? You just stand there while he gropes you and disrobe you and penetrates you? Really? I would imagine something like this. Clerk “ It is noisy in there everything ok?” E Jean Carrol “ it’s Ok, Trumps just raping me”. Clerk “ok , if you two need help just call.”

The whole thing reads like something from Erica Jong’s “Fear of Flying” — anonymous rape fantasy with later regret and empowerment. Many have been there, done that.

I read an excerpt........

“Early one evening, as I am about to go out Bergdorf’s revolving door on 58th Street, and one of New York’s most famous men comes in the revolving door, or it could have been a regular door at that time, I can’t recall, and he says: “Hey, you’re that advice lady!”

And I say to No. 20 on the Most Hideous Men of My Life List: “Hey, you’re that real-estate tycoon!”

I am surprised at how good-looking he is. We’ve met once before, and perhaps it is the dusky light but he looks prettier than ever. This has to be in the fall of 1995 or the spring of 1996 because he’s garbed in a faultless topcoat and I’m wearing my black wool Donna Karan coatdress and high heels but not a coat.

“Come advise me,” says the man. “I gotta buy a present.”

“Oh!” I say, charmed. “For whom?”

“A girl,” he says.”

She seems to remember a great deal...where, what she was wearing...what was said.....”But fall of 1995 or the spring of 1996...”? Now I’m a guy so my knowledge of the female mind is limited,but it seem to me if it were me I could nail the date down to something better than Fall of 95-Spring of 96.
