Unfortunately, it’s already happening. The woman who was 13 when Trump raped her has withdrawn her complaint because she’s received si many death threats from his supporters.

When the ‘incidents’ happened it would be the victims word against his. Then the tape becomes news and everybody hears it, the women he committed the offences against have the courage to speak out knowing the world has heard Trump admit to his ‘behaviour’ with women over many years. ‘People now know what Trump is like so I can speak out’.

You would think Trump couldn’t talk his way or buy his way out of this situation but this is the US we are talking about. Now Trump is president and has more power and influence than ever before.

It took her months to get around to subscribing to my blog! The thought of writing a blog would never even cross her mind – I doubt she could think of many things she would rather do less.

Mum sounds quite sensible. She blog?

Yes, j.a.m., I agree it is somewhat hypocritical, these rappers are -or at least their lyrics are- vile, demeaning and misogynistic. And I do think it was not a good idea to invite them. It is all under the mantle of ‘art’ and they may be illustrating what is, and not what ought to be. Not very clear at any rate, as it should have been (if so). Honestly, I prefer Bach to rap in any case
That being said, I would be surprised if Michelle and Barack would still be keen on entertaining them if they would run for high office.

I agree.

More rank hypocrisy on the part of the Obamas, who have hosted many of the most vile, demeaning and misogynistic so-called “entertainers” at the White House, a symbol of our nation.

“What happened to “character” and “family values” and all that?”

My hypothesis, well supported I think by my personal observations, is that the sanctimonious piety displayed by the bible thumping folks so well represented by Ms. Scoliaro has little to do with love and adoration for their Jesus but everything to do with deflecting any nascent feelings of guilt or responsibility that their unethical beliefs and behavior may evoke in themselves. It is a coping mechanism that allows them to justify, to themselves, behaving like assholes. And not just justify it, but transform it into something to feel righteous about.

It is disgusting and it’s also one of the more dangerous behaviors humans engage in. It can so easily lead to things like lynchings and burnings. Especially when harnessed and stoked by an authority figure that has a knack for pushing the right buttons.
