It's proven in juries that all too often women will exonerate a rapist out of their own (denied) FEAR of sexual assault which they deal with by saying"It wasn't rape. She was a slut." Sad but, true.
We can be sure the Women who Voted for him were in the small Minority - There is No Way Women in Large Numbers Voted for the Guy who Bragged about taking Away their Rights Over their Own Bodies - NOT POSSIBLE - The Problem was MASSIVE ELECTION INTERFERENCE and WE The People MUST Contact Kamala Harris and Let her Know We SUPPORT Her DEMANDING HAND RECOUNTS in All SWING STATES and And an Investigation into all the fraudulent Occurrences
Seriously, there was no point in that story where I thought "oh, well they will have to withdraw his name after hearing this". I'm sure Trump will put out a statement praising Hegseth for being "a forceful dominant character who will not stop to ask America's enemies for consent before humiliating them"
It's so sad that there are people (men and women) who defend this to gain a moment of sense of political win and 'owning the libs'. Family values my a**!
We already know that MAGA leadership is by predators for predators. But this is on every single American voter who chose to put a criminal in the White House. The fact that a majority of voters want this and don't find it even objectionable reveals how rotten America really has become. Transition into a Fascist Mafia state. Sad.
They have a mental block. They just don’t care. I hope they don’t call themselves Christian, cause it certainly deviates from what Christian’s should stand for
He is filling his WINE Cabinet...Elon fraudulently made sure DT gets 270 EC votes...we all know the voting was rigged. DT said he had all the votes he needed. Also no more futute voting required. America has done well because DT Jnr will run As President if DT has onset dementia....Republicans are consistent in sticking with a Rapist convicted felon. The bar is not high
She went to the hospital and asked for the test... doesn't sound consensual...he needs to be locked up...far away from any governmental office! What a creep
With her family too!!!! 😮 That's gotta be humiliating to her as well. The aggressiveness was present from the incident with the hotel staff on top of it all. These clowns think they're invincible...... Hopefully the cards fall behind Gaetz.
I was thinking the same as you. That he is a horrible creep. After reading the article, things don't seem so black & white. Why didn't she just leave and went back to her husband? He was drunk and she was not when she walked him to his room. Why is a married woman hanging out, crossing arms and smiling with a drunk guy at the bar? And going to his room? If it was my wife that did that, I would ask for a divorce. Regretting a bad choice she may have made in cheating on her husband is not the same as SA. Or maybe he is just a PoS creep.
Or were as MAGA as he, which many are. There is a rape kit. He paid her for an NDA. Just the way he acted in public should have been enough to disqualify him.
@@rogerfontenot2610the cops usually don't, that doesn't mean it's not true. I had a sheriff look me in the eyes and say that he'd never bring a man in on DV because then the abu$er wouldn't be able to hunt anymore. Because hunting is more important than a woman's life in the eyes of cops.
Questioning him about sexual assault is not enough. He will deny it. I work with sexual assault victims every day, and I can tell you it ruins lives and the level of victim blaming and questioning the victim’s credibility is insane. It’s also why this stuff keeps happening. Women get dragged through the mud for coming forward, with no consequences for the abuser. The accusations alone are disqualifying. Period. The entire cabinet is full of predators because we allow it.
I'm a sexual assault victim myself. Twice. And I have to point out I know TOO MANY women who falsely accuse men of SA, especially men with money. This is a complicated issue.
@@flyingartgirls1 as someone who has worked in the SA field, there’s no doubt it happens, (the false claims), but it’s well documented and my working experience will back this up, if you had a room full of women claiming SA, the amount of women making false claims is in a minority (and by a long way).
The most disturbing part to me is that in the last three elections the majority of white women voters chose Trump, with his record of abuse; I'm still unable to wrap my mind around that fact and yet it is true.
@ScottyBigMoney YEAH, typically that's what it is. what's knew in this world we live in. Just a repeat of the past how women were treated. 2024 wow no difference.
I am a former DoD civilian employee. This stuff goes on under the table no matter the laws. We were trained on prevention and reporting it every year. The higher up you are and if you are a veteran you were basically untouchable. This POS will get his post and the MAGA supporters will blame that victim just as they did Brett Kavanaugh. It makes me angry and sick.
He’s only made captain, if he had a decent commander he’d have been discharged before the SA even occurred just based on his prior behavior. There’s always rumors (probly true) about officers and enlisted soldiers being inappropriate with each other so there’s probly lots of stuff that’s been shoved under the table. I was an army spouse for 30 years, I saw and heard a lot of crap. But I do think if he’d been in the units my husband was in, he’d have been gone as an LT
My point of reference for the past several years has been what came of Brett Kavanaugh when he had allegations brought up against him prior to an appointment. The GOP has no moral compass.
Each case should be taken on it's own of course, and I get a creepy vibe from Kavanaugh. But there was no fair way to use that to block him from the court or whatever. You can't just cast an allegation and ruin someone.

Horrific, I was a victim advocate for women who were sexually assault and this is extremely violent and this woman was brave enough to go to the hospital at a place she has never been. I hope that she is getting the help she needs, do not minimize the horrific act this man did to this woman, a dangerous predator of women.

Tim emphasizing "He was harrassing a MARRIED woman" as if it makes a difference doesn`t help either. It wouln`t be less bad to harass, berate and assault a single woman. It made sense to mention that she was there with her family when he said she took the time to go to the hospital, so it must have been something serious. After that it wasn`t relevant. It`s uncomfortably clear that he seems to have internalized this idea that the assault is a worse offence if the woman is married. As if we should be more worried about her being assaulted because she has a husband and it`s an offence to HIM. The average progressive people are not as far away from the "Your body, my choice" idea as they think. There is a "Her body, her husband`s choice" idea behind the fact that Tim thinks he needs to emphasizes five times that she was married.
Thank you! I think Tim isn`t even aware that he is obviously making this distinction in his mind, but unfortunately that`s really common for people to do. It wouldn`t be less bad to harass, berate and assault a single woman. It maybe made sense to mention that she was there with her family when he said she took the time to go to the hospital, so it must have been something serious. After that it wasn`t relevant. It`s uncomfortably clear that he seems to have internalized this idea that the assault is a worse offence if the woman is the perceived property of another man. As if we should be more worried about her being assaulted because she has a husband and it`s an offence to HIM.
@@anthill1510 I agree with everything in your comment. I myself took that distinction to mean that (a) her husband was around, so Hegseth should’ve been even more certain that the woman wouldn’t possibly be interested in him [although ‘No’ ALWAYS means ‘NO’!], and (b) Hegseth should’ve been even more careful with his behaviour to not risk getting his a** kicked by the woman’s husband if Hegseth tried anything against her. And (c) Republicans keep calling themselves the ‘family values’ party. Acting on his sexual interest in a married woman shows Hegseth’s hypocrisy, he has zero respect for the institution of marriage.
I think the context of mentioning that she was married was to highlight the fact that Hegseth was hitting on a married woman, showing his extremely poor judgement.
His personal life is a disaster because he’s messed up psychologically, emotionally and most likely, spiritually. It’s sad and it’s pathetic that this seems to be a requirement to be in the cabinet.
Kudos for a real man and talking about this. As a sexual assault survivor, it is hard to talk about, and listen to, but we are literally about to have a white house full of sexual predators, pervs of a feather... Thank you for standing up for us!
If the Senate actually wanted to get to the bottom of it, they would find out who the women were at that conference. I would question them at the hearing to see what they experienced. If their stories align with getting groped, that alone should be disqualifying for the secretary of any agency.
I've been around many men in positions of power in my life. I would say this type of behavior is MORE common than not. I expect most prominent politicians and government officials to behave this way. Power does not attract moral people.
Thank you @Steve-xh3by. As an old lady who has experienced the "bro culture", they will say not only that she "asked for it", but that she initiated it, and the whole hospital visit and report was a CYA because she has a husband, a total lying false report. So the thing is, IF that were the case, should we not question his judgment even MORE?? Do we want someone who allowed himself to be that kind of prey in charge of government business? Mata Haris of the world can't wait to take advantage of him. Excellent for national security...not...
Absolutely. They will accuse her of saying it was non-consensual because she’s married and needs to cover up her having sex with another man. They will say if she was so scared of him, why did she walk back to his room with “arms locked”? I don’t know if she got a toxicology report done to see if there were drugs in her system (as she reported she thinks something was in her drink). That would help her case a lot. This really is going to be a “he said she said” situation, and it won’t be enough to take him down. It sure didn’t impact Trump’s bid for the WH either.
@@janefreda7034 It’s always been scary and. Now males have been given permission. In the 6months after Roe was overturned, an estimated 64,000 rape pregnancies were reported. 64,000 PREGNANCIES! And that’s likely a small percentage of total rapes. Horrifying.
Have you read his Bronze Star citations? I can think of many more service members that did much more than what he is cited as doing. And yet, somehow he walks away with a Bronze Star. Kind of strange
I still have some hope. Chuck Grassley is 90 years old and was reelected two years ago. Doubt he’ll be running again. Mitch McConnell isn’t running again. What incentive would either of them have to vote in favor of someone they have to know is unqualified. Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Bill Cassidy voted to convict Trump during his second impeachment. They must know that MAGA will never forgive that, so might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb. And Joni Ernst is a veteran herself and might have some differences with him on the role of women in the military, but she’s up for reelection in 2026 and might not be willing to cross Trump. (On the other hand, she won reelection last time by the narrowest margin of any Republican senator, so she might want to pick up Democratic votes. It could cut either way.) Too bad the confirmation vote isn’t by secret ballot!
It's easy to abandon your morals once morality becomes nothing more than a catchphrase or a political meme. Right and wrong no longer matter when all you care about it is being in the winning tribe.
They were never anything they claimed to be- Christian? Nope. Conservative? Nope. Family values? Nope. Law and order? Nope. Small government? Nope. Fiscally responsible? Nope. It was all always lies. The one uniting force has always been bigotry.
@@cyclewisconsin105 Absolutely disgusting how they spent years attacking Hunter Biden, who wasn't even running for anything and had no role in his father's administration.
Imagine Hegseth on the sauce and chasing WH staffers whilst in the middle of some international crisis that Trump is making a mess of... We're screwed if these absurdly unqualified nominees get through.
The GOP was trying to make a federal case out of the current Secretary of Defense being protective of his own privacy over a necessary medical operation. But Heseth's behavior? Nothing to see here.

Listening to your report... and we're suprised how? Due to the massive lack of morality in this country, nothing will happen. It's effin disgusting what is happing in this country.
You are who your friends are. And...MAGA...these are your people. You are vocally thrilled by them. Your lack of criticism of them means you like and support this.
The President elect admitted, that he sexually assaults women from a position of power and intimidation, and because he’s famous they are too afraid to confront him. Maybe all those who voted for him would see it differently if it were their daughter or son being abused! 🤨 Watching from Wales. Keep the good fight going. ✌️🏴🇺🇦🇺🇸✌️
Oh we got the first victim blaming "It was her fault, she shouldn`t have ..." statement. Let`s see if we can find some more justifications for assault, keep on coming up with stuff! Here, I will help you out: "Why didn`t she cover her drink? I mean of course a man is going to assault her if she doesn`t cover her drink at all times, right guys?"
@@anthill1510one could argue maga has made it clear how they treat women ..if you choose to engage with them then that's at very least probably poor judgment 🤷♂️ doesn't make it right but they have spent years making it clear this is who they are

Cuz little Donnie is mad that sane people of integrity tried to legally hold him accountable for his crimes. So now he’s going to tear our legal system and democracy to shreds.
I think without a blood test to show she was drugged it would be he said / she said circus. And women always lose that without overwhelming evidence. It's clear he wasn't in a state fit to drive, and a horny drunk is likely to presume consent if you have a vagina. Going to trial could end up with her losing a defamation lawsuit and destroying her life. Don't you blame the victim! Instead maybe we can make it illegal for and NDA to prevent testimony in criminal investigations, or for NDAs to apply to criminal activities. You want to protect your business secret sauce? Yes. You want to protect a sex predator? No can do!

right because its also about having anything in ones background that could incite blackmail in order to get classified info. these ppl are only out for themselves. not a single one of then is qualified nor do they have a background worthy of a security clearance. RECESS appointments are an attack on the GOVT. its a clear indicator of whats to come.
I'm once again incandescent with rage seeing the disregard of the PEOPLE who are impacted by these appointments ~ the greed, the self obsession, the lack of serious contemplation, the apparent lack of understanding of the enormity & sacredness of the role the presidency bestows. The betrayal of We The People.
I've lost any hope that the American people care about the character of the people they put in leadership positions. This guy will get confirmed, because people will hand-wave it away - we might even have some people justifying it. And everyone will forget, and ignore it the next time it happens. Because that's where the country is right now.
Many in the public think they care, but won’t know or be told the true nature of the details as Tim did here. In their influencer bubble the audience will hear that he was only accused by some grifter that is just making an accusation to get a pay out. They’re also told that anything they hear on other news sites or podcasts is fake news so don’t even bother to go and listen to it.

Fat change of that!
Tim emphasizing "He was harrassing a MARRIED woman" as if it makes a difference doesn`t help either. It wouln`t be less bad to harass, berate and assault a single woman. It made sense to mention that she was there with her family when he said she took the time to go to the hospital, so it must have been something serious. After that it wasn`t relevant.
It`s uncomfortably clear that he seems to have internalized this idea that the assault is a worse offence if the woman is married. As if we should be more worried about her being assaulted because she has a husband and it`s an offence to HIM. The average progressive people are not as far away from the "Your body, my choice" idea as they think.
There is a "Her body, her husband`s choice" idea behind the fact that Tim thinks he needs to emphasizes five times that she was married.
This would stop someone from getting promoted in the military. Get a commander removed easily. The senate can NOT allow this.
She wanted a fling, besides, this is NOT the military.
We need more alpha males, lot's more.
Traitor Trump’s whole cabinet belongs in jail
If only there actually was justice!
A nice little oval cell. But look what happened
Hegseth is a supposed Christian? They're all criminals.
He is a charlatan. Nothing to do with the Gospel.
They are heathens.
Thanks to Tim and gang for pulling no punches in reporting the news, no matter how vile the subject matter🐍
The fact that the woman is married is completely irrelevant, as if it’s more permissible to harass a single woman.
Thank you! I think Tim isn`t even aware that he is obviously making this distinction in his mind, but unfortunately that`s really common for people to do.
It wouldn`t be less bad to harass, berate and assault a single woman. It maybe made sense to mention that she was there with her family when he said she took the time to go to the hospital, so it must have been something serious. After that it wasn`t relevant.
It`s uncomfortably clear that he seems to have internalized this idea that the assault is a worse offence if the woman is the perceived property of another man. As if we should be more worried about her being assaulted because she has a husband and it`s an offence to HIM.
100%. Also Gaetz was accused of statutory rape. A minor cannot consent to sex with an adult.
@@anthill1510 I agree with everything in your comment. I myself took that distinction to mean that (a) her husband was around, so Hegseth should’ve been even more certain that the woman wouldn’t possibly be interested in him [although ‘No’ ALWAYS means ‘NO’!], and (b) Hegseth should’ve been even more careful with his behaviour to not risk getting his a** kicked by the woman’s husband if Hegseth tried anything against her. And (c) Republicans keep calling themselves the ‘family values’ party. Acting on his sexual interest in a married woman shows Hegseth’s hypocrisy, he has zero respect for the institution of marriage.
I think the context of mentioning that she was married was to highlight the fact that Hegseth was hitting on a married woman, showing his extremely poor judgement.
It’s not but it makes it even more hypocritical considering the “good strong Christian values” the gop likes to pretend they represent.
His personal life is a disaster because he’s messed up psychologically, emotionally and most likely, spiritually. It’s sad and it’s pathetic that this seems to be a requirement to be in the cabinet.
I wonder how much he really drinks and if it is also an issue. That needs looking into.
Glad this report is public!
Hegseth is reprehensible🤬
Gaetz report should be public as well!
A private settlement tells you all you need to know...
Kudos for a real man and talking about this. As a sexual assault survivor, it is hard to talk about, and listen to, but we are literally about to have a white house full of sexual predators, pervs of a feather... Thank you for standing up for us!
If the Senate actually wanted to get to the bottom of it, they would find out who the women were at that conference. I would question them at the hearing to see what they experienced. If their stories align with getting groped, that alone should be disqualifying for the secretary of any agency.
Taking her phone & blocking the door are unlawful imprisonment. In addition to the s**ual assault
The Jews did not tolerate Jesus.
I've been around many men in positions of power in my life. I would say this type of behavior is MORE common than not. I expect most prominent politicians and government officials to behave this way. Power does not attract moral people.
This does not mean appointing him to a cabinet position is warranted. We are a morally bankrupt country.
Thank you @Steve-xh3by. As an old lady who has experienced the "bro culture", they will say not only that she "asked for it", but that she initiated it, and the whole hospital visit and report was a CYA because she has a husband, a total lying false report. So the thing is, IF that were the case, should we not question his judgment even MORE?? Do we want someone who allowed himself to be that kind of prey in charge of government business? Mata Haris of the world can't wait to take advantage of him. Excellent for national security...not...
Unfortunately MAGA is going to blame HER 😵💫🤬
Of course - who else? They really don't see any other option.
Absolutely. They will accuse her of saying it was non-consensual because she’s married and needs to cover up her having sex with another man. They will say if she was so scared of him, why did she walk back to his room with “arms locked”? I don’t know if she got a toxicology report done to see if there were drugs in her system (as she reported she thinks something was in her drink). That would help her case a lot. This really is going to be a “he said she said” situation, and it won’t be enough to take him down. It sure didn’t impact Trump’s bid for the WH either.
This enrages me. I fear for my daughter and nieces in this type of world. Predators holding the highest offices.
@@janefreda7034 It’s always been scary and. Now males have been given permission. In the 6months after Roe was overturned, an estimated 64,000 rape pregnancies were reported. 64,000 PREGNANCIES! And that’s likely a small percentage of total rapes. Horrifying.
Well said, Tim, Hegseth has horrible judgement and should not be Secretary of Defense!
Have you read his Bronze Star citations? I can think of many more service members that did much more than what he is cited as doing. And yet, somehow he walks away with a Bronze Star. Kind of strange
Thanks Tim
So what are they going to do about it? Nothing as always?????
Will the Senate do anything? Doubtful.
Republican senators won't. I'm pretty sure Dems will try.
They'll do nothing. And complain that the left is trying to "ruin his rightful career". Kavanaugh anyone?
I still have some hope. Chuck Grassley is 90 years old and was reelected two years ago. Doubt he’ll be running again. Mitch McConnell isn’t running again. What incentive would either of them have to vote in favor of someone they have to know is unqualified. Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Bill Cassidy voted to convict Trump during his second impeachment. They must know that MAGA will never forgive that, so might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb. And Joni Ernst is a veteran herself and might have some differences with him on the role of women in the military, but she’s up for reelection in 2026 and might not be willing to cross Trump. (On the other hand, she won reelection last time by the narrowest margin of any Republican senator, so she might want to pick up Democratic votes. It could cut either way.)
Too bad the confirmation vote isn’t by secret ballot!
Holy crap that police report is chilling
Law enforcement should also be investigating immediately
💙 Keep going 💙 Thank you so, so much 💙 Your sweet neighbour 💙
Good find, Tim! I hope this gets published far and wide.
Regular media will minimize if they air it at all or find a way to blame the woman
@@CJ-gv7fj it already has.
Seems like.
There's no Justice in America. If you're a rich Republican, you can do whatever you want.
Well said.
🤢🤢🤢
I really can't understand how Republicans are ok with this...I just don't get it....
They LOVE it😞
They love the drama, they love the hate, they love the racism and the criminal Trump.
Just ask them how they would react to a Dem with the same qualifications and moral background. Let the stuttering begin
It's easy to abandon your morals once morality becomes nothing more than a catchphrase or a political meme. Right and wrong no longer matter when all you care about it is being in the winning tribe.
They were never anything they claimed to be- Christian? Nope. Conservative? Nope. Family values? Nope. Law and order? Nope. Small government? Nope. Fiscally responsible? Nope.
It was all always lies. The one uniting force has always been bigotry.
Is there a Trump appointee that hasn't been accused and/or charged with sexual assault?
The party of "family values".
The Bulwark and others should get that clip of Don Don rubbing his gums and just keep spamming it at the end of all their videos.
Every time Jr. gets into a rant you can tell he is all coked up, eyes bloodshot and head tilted back to keep his nose from running.
That would be excellent. It should be shown everywhere all the time.
@@cyclewisconsin105 Absolutely disgusting how they spent years attacking Hunter Biden, who wasn't even running for anything and had no role in his father's administration.
MSM will just say he’s teething
@@cyclewisconsin105 Once you've been around people who do it extensively, you just know.
It's obvious that this kind of behavior is just normal MAGA family values. These people are really sick!!!
lol "Maga family values"!
Imagine Hegseth on the sauce and chasing WH staffers whilst in the middle of some international crisis that Trump is making a mess of...
We're screwed if these absurdly unqualified nominees get through.
We are screwed just having Trump as president!
They will. You can bet the bank on it.
And, yes, we're screwed.
That was Ronny Jackson's role in Trump's last administration.
We are already toast because Trump will be back in office.
Sounds like Ronnie Jackson. Trumps former White House Dr. who lost his medical license but is now a Texas congressman
Administration didn't even start yet. Holy sh**
Tim, your coverage of this is perfect. 🤩
Good morning, everyone. Tim, thank you for all you are doing.
More like Pete, zero like Tim.
Thanks Tim for shining a light.
Pete took it like a BOSS. The USA needs these REAL Men!
The USA does not need persons like Pete Hegseth.
Bot thinks Pete Hegseth is a real man😂
The GOP was trying to make a federal case out of the current Secretary of Defense being protective of his own privacy over a necessary medical operation. But Heseth's behavior? Nothing to see here.
The first rule of raip club is you don't talk about raip club.
If the Senate actually wanted to get to the bottom of it, they would find out who the women were at that conference. I would question them at the hearing to see what they experienced. If their stories align with getting groped, that alone should be disqualifying for the secretary of any agency.
The way Pete Hegseth changes wives every 5 business days needs to be studied. Trump definitely wants a cabinet full of like-minded individuals.
I like how people keep saying the Senate will have some say in any of this.
I know, aren't they cute?🤬🤬🤬🤬
A company board would not hire someone as a CEO with that in his/her background. why should we have to accept this?
we dont and we need to start speaking out whatever means we have.
Listening to your report... and we're suprised how? Due to the massive lack of morality in this country, nothing will happen. It's effin disgusting what is happing in this country.
They traded Jesus for their orange idol
Just remember, NOBODY DID ANYTHING ABOUT EPSTEIN FOR 30 years and before that it was Hugh Hefner
@@marybusch6182they weren't President or cabinet members
This is all so very sad. Feel depressed knowing these are the men being chosen as leaders???? 😡🥵
THE WORST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
You are who your friends are. And...MAGA...these are your people. You are vocally thrilled by them. Your lack of criticism of them means you like and support this.
The President elect admitted, that he sexually assaults women from a position of power and intimidation, and because he’s famous they are too afraid to confront him.
Maybe all those who voted for him would see it differently if it were their daughter or son being abused! 🤨
Watching from Wales. Keep the good fight going. ✌️🏴🇺🇦🇺🇸✌️
That means a conservative woman turned him in....
Yes….
A groupie who was there with her husband and children, but who was drinking in the bar with a strange man.
@@kimoandrews5802She was assigned a conference role to babysit Hesgeth and make sure he made his appointments
Oh we got the first victim blaming "It was her fault, she shouldn`t have ..." statement. Let`s see if we can find some more justifications for assault, keep on coming up with stuff! Here, I will help you out: "Why didn`t she cover her drink? I mean of course a man is going to assault her if she doesn`t cover her drink at all times, right guys?"
@@anthill1510one could argue maga has made it clear how they treat women ..if you choose to engage with them then that's at very least probably poor judgment 🤷♂️ doesn't make it right but they have spent years making it clear this is who they are
Thanks Tim. Keep it coming!
willful ignorance is a way of life for these ppl. I'm sick of the stupidity, apathy and lack of morals.
Birds of a feather flock together
Which means he’s over qualified right?
Best comment! Thanks for the start-of-my-day laugh!
Yep love oxymorons 😂
Thank you for being caring and kind to survivors in how you discuss these issues and reports
And every cabinet pick is MEANT TO BE A BAD CHOICE! They aren’t there to run the department as it is meant to be run,in service to the public,… THEY ARE BEING APPOINTED TO DISMANTLE THE DEPARTMENT THEY OVERSEE. AW, it all makes sense now!
Yes they are just wrecking balls!
Cuz little Donnie is mad that sane people of integrity tried to legally hold him accountable for his crimes. So now he’s going to tear our legal system and democracy to shreds.
Why would he pay her off if nothing happened🤔
What a completely inappropriate person for such a job! He shouldn’t be in charge of emptying the waste paper bins!
Breaks my heart she agreed to a settlement. She deserves much better!!!!!!
I think without a blood test to show she was drugged it would be he said / she said circus. And women always lose that without overwhelming evidence.
It's clear he wasn't in a state fit to drive, and a horny drunk is likely to presume consent if you have a vagina.
Going to trial could end up with her losing a defamation lawsuit and destroying her life.
Don't you blame the victim!
Instead maybe we can make it illegal for and NDA to prevent testimony in criminal investigations, or for NDAs to apply to criminal activities. You want to protect your business secret sauce? Yes. You want to protect a sex predator? No can do!
@@gailklike3147 If Her Allegations can be proven and found that it is a Crime,then an NDA and a monetary payment are Void.
He can be arrested and charged.
She keeps the Money, and still Sue his ass off.
If Trump can get away with 34 felonies, nothing matters. The party of law, order and family values is exempt from law, order and family values. It’s disgusting. Nobody should ever be arrested again for anything. 😖
This is just ridiculous and disgusting
All of that is more than enough to disqualify him for any kind of security clearance beyond the most basic. Just the police report would be enough.
right because its also about having anything in ones background that could incite blackmail in order to get classified info. these ppl are only out for themselves. not a single one of then is qualified nor do they have a background worthy of a security clearance. RECESS appointments are an attack on the GOVT. its a clear indicator of whats to come.
Bird's of a feather flock together.
Thank you for exposing this parasite of society.
Giving a person who would abuse power, more power is a recipe for disaster. Having a GROUP of people who lord power over others NEVER ends well.
Acting exactly like our dear leader….. what a moral compass!
Wonder how he treated his 3 ex-wives.
Let's ask them.
I'm once again incandescent with rage seeing the disregard of the PEOPLE who are impacted by these appointments ~ the greed, the self obsession, the lack of serious contemplation, the apparent lack of understanding of the enormity & sacredness of the role the presidency bestows. The betrayal of We The People.
To Trump, SA is not disqualifying.
They all have to have a history to be part of the Trump team.
More like a badge of honor 🤮

I've lost any hope that the American people care about the character of the people they put in leadership positions. This guy will get confirmed, because people will hand-wave it away - we might even have some people justifying it. And everyone will forget, and ignore it the next time it happens. Because that's where the country is right now.
Many in the public think they care, but won’t know or be told the true nature of the details as Tim did here. In their influencer bubble the audience will hear that he was only accused by some grifter that is just making an accusation to get a pay out. They’re also told that anything they hear on other news sites or podcasts is fake news so don’t even bother to go and listen to it.
