While also retweeting actual fake news (Britain right-wing propaganda stuff). He's definitely ramping up the "I gotta cause a distraction to fire up the fan base!!!!" stuff right now.

Wait, do you think Trump is progressive? He might be, who the hell knows lol

CNN is boycotting the WH Christmas Party.

You'd think that Trump would like this, considering that if CNN isn't there, they can't edit their footage to create outrage.

"..his propaganda" .............. after 3 decades of propaganda being heaped upon The People by the let-wing major media, "his" stuff is kind of refreshing.

By that I mean most guys were raised that it was nice to complement a woman's dress or new haircut, even work colleagues. We "learned" many woman like to be pursued and play hard-to-get...so it's not hard to imagine some of this is little more than being offended over being asked to drinks, or asked out a few times. Certain types of innocent touching - which undoubtedly makes uninterested women uncomfortable - are also a common and popular form of flirtation and seduction.

I don't really believe that's the issue in these high profile stories, but, wow, better tread extremely lightly around women at work.

If I was endlessly amused by shitting into my hands and rubbing it in my hair, I might think his stuff is refreshing, as well.

While Trump hasn't been completely bad, and has done some actual good I suppose, I'm about fed up with his antics. He needs to grow tf up and be an adult every once in a while.
And that is not just me picking on him. I've said very similar things about Obama.

Gut had said that the effect of all this stuff will be that it will be difficult to work in a coed environment. My point was that while all of the attention this topic has received in recent weeks gives the impression that the whole world will be changing, it really only pertains to two unrepresentative industries. Male/female relations at most places works fine now and will work fine in the future.

If you think his tweeting about Lavar Ball, the size of his junk, how mean he is treated, etc is "refreshing", well then I don't know what to say. Just because Trump may call the sky green doesn't make it so.

I didn't say it would be "difficult" to work in a coed environment, just that you'll have to watch yourself much more. Happy hours and other social gatherings will be much more treacherous if you let your guard down in those situations, especially if you're a senior manager/exec (doubly if subordinates are around).

And you're wrong if you don't think large or highly profitable companies aren't going to adapt much more stringent policies. It's not about whether or not they think they have serial offenders, it's strictly about managing the potential liability.

He should obviously curtail a fair amount of his tweets that are not serving him well. But he should continue to use Twitter to go around the major media who have now been completely exposed as near-total frauds.

Exactly how does regularly lying and exaggerating via social media expose someone else as near-total frauds? Or are you one of the those stupid enough to blindly believe everything he says -- I mean, since you are a blind partisan and he has an "R" by his name, that could be the case, but still, that doesn't remotely come close to proving any sort of point.

What is he lying about?

And with some of the details coming out about Lauer's activities you have to wonder how he kept a straight face with some of the questions he asked O'Reilly. Also how about Lauer and Rose's co-hosts coming out just floored and emotional like they had no idea. Bullshit. They are doing exactly what the network executives are telling them to do to hide the fact they allowed this type of activity to flourish as long as the cash was flowing.

LOL - if you can't get out of the media for being a sexual abuser, fake an illness. If he were white (or a republican) he’d be burned at the stake in the media.

Damn, you ARE nothing more than a troll. Good job with the act, but you've reached the Sleeper level of "trying too hard" now.

But, to humor you, even though you'll just play Sleeper and ignore/make excuses for these. Just off the top of my head from recent times.

1. Saying he was asked to "probably" be the Time Man of the Year again, but turned them down because "probably" isn't enough. Time refuted that allegation.

2. Retweeting videos from a Britain far-right-to-the-point-of-being-a-hate-group of dubious accuracy (one claims a natural-born Netherlands citizen was a Muslim migrant). White House response: The accuracy doesn't matter if the threat is real.

3. His "unlike other presidents, I make calls to widows of soldiers" line which was proven false.

4. His regular overstatements of the size of his crowds at rallies, going back to the inaugeration.

And so on.

I don't care if I was in a powerful political position, if I knew I was innocent of accusations I'd go to my grave never giving in to it. And I'd certainly never monetarily settle. Losing my job in politics can be easily overcome. Loss of dignity and honor cannot.

Conyers has denied any wrongdoing, and reached a settlement with Brown that included a non-disclosure agreement.

Obama was worse at all that stuff!!!!!

I don't think Obama was worse, but I don't think he was much better, either. His lies were more half-truths, biases and slants. Different than Trumps if you want to parse it out, but no better.
