With his latest tweet, clearly implying that a United States senator would trade sexual favors for campaign cash, President Trump has shown he is not fit for office. Rock bottom is no impediment for a president who can always find room for a new low.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday dismissed the president's smear as a misunderstanding because he used similar language about men. Of course, words used about men and women are different. When candidate Trump said a journalist was bleeding from her "wherever," he didn't mean her nose.
And as is the case with all of Trump's digital provocations , the president's words were deliberate. He pours the gasoline of sexist language and lights the match gleefully knowing how it will burst into flame in a country reeling from the #MeToo moment.
A president who would all but call Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand a whore is not fit to clean the toilets in the Barack Obama Presidential Library or to shine the shoes of George W. Bush.
===============================
Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!
=================================
This isn’t about the policy differences we have with all presidents or our disappointment in some of their decisions. Obama and Bush both failed in many ways. They broke promises and told untruths, but the basic decency of each man was never in doubt.
Donald Trump, the man, on the other hand, is uniquely awful. His sickening behavior is corrosive to the enterprise of a shared governance based on common values and the consent of the governed.
It should surprise no one how low he went with Gillibrand. When accused during the campaign of sexually harassing or molesting women in the past, Trump’s response was to belittle the looks of his accusers . Last October, Trump suggested that he never would have groped Jessica Leeds on an airplane decades ago: “Believe me, she would not be my first choice, that I can tell you.” Trump mocked another accuser, former People reporter Natasha Stoynoff, “Check out her Facebook, you’ll understand.” Other celebrities and politicians have denied accusations, but none has stooped as low as suggesting that their accusers weren’t attractive enough to be honored with their gropes.
If recent history is any guide, the unique awfulness of the Trump era in U.S. politics is only going to get worse. Trump’s utter lack of morality, ethics and simple humanity has been underscored during his 11 months in office. Let us count the ways:
He is enthusiastically supporting Alabama's Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, who has been accused of pursuing — and in one case molesting and in another assaulting — teenagers as young as 14 when Moore was a county prosecutor in his 30s. On Tuesday, Trump summed up his willingness to support a man accused of criminal conduct: “Roy Moore will always vote with us.”
Trump apparently is going for some sort of record for lying while in office. As of mid-November, he had made 1,628 misleading or false statements in 298 days in office. That’s 5.5 false claims per day, according to a count kept by The Washington Post ’s fact-checkers.
Trump takes advantage of any occasion — even Monday’s failed terrorist attack in New York — to stir racial, religious or ethnic strife. Congress “ must end chain migration ,” he said Monday, because the terror suspect “entered our country through extended-family chain migration, which is incompatible with national security.” So because one man — 27-year-old Akayed Ullah, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. who came from Bangladesh on a family immigrant visa in 2011 — is accused of attacking America, all immigrants brought to this country by family are suspect? Trump might have some credibility if his criticism of immigrants was solely about terrorists. It isn’t. It makes no difference to him if an immigrant is a terrorist or a federal judge. He once smeared an Indiana-born judge whose parents emigrated from Mexico. It’s all the same to this president.
A man who clearly wants to put his stamp on the government, Trump hasn’t even done his job when it comes to filling key government positions that require Senate confirmation. As of last week, Trump had failed to nominate anyone for 60% of 1,200 key positions he can fill to keep the government running smoothly.
Trump has shown contempt for ethical strictures that have bound every president in recent memory. He has refused to release his tax returns, with the absurd excuse that it’s because he is under audit. He has refused to put his multibillion dollar business interests in a blind trust and peddles the fiction that putting them in the hands of his sons does the same thing.
Not to mention calling white supremacists "very fine people," pardoning a lawless sheriff, firing a respected FBI director, and pushing the Justice Department to investigate his political foes.
It is a shock that only six Democratic senators are calling for our unstable president to resign.
The nation doesn’t seek nor expect perfect presidents, and some have certainly been deeply flawed. But a president who shows such disrespect for the truth, for ethics, for the basic duties of the job and for decency toward others fails at the very essence of what has always made America great.

America's national newspaper, for 35 years the symbol of moderate and mainstream political opinion in the United States, has excoriated the sitting president of the United States to a degree never before seen in modern America about any politician or public figure. The chickens are coming home to roost.
This goes further than merely expressing disdain, or even just calling out the president. It is purposefully provocative; and, meant to draw Trump into direct conflict. My guess is they hope to give him rope to hang himself with.
There were some decent people that voted for Trump, out of some sort of frustration. It is time for them to realize their dreadful mistake. The country has rarely been disgraced to the extent and frequency that Trump disgraces his office and by extension disgraces and embarrasses the American people.
His term in office is not even one fourth gone by yet. The idea of three more years of this crap from him every day is too mindblowingly horrible to contemplate. America is better than this.
Trump will still be president a year from tonight, and the year after, and the year.....
in the meantime, the voters, seeing that the Democrats have lost all credibility, have increased the GOP's number in both the House and Senate. They realized the loony libs had no idea how to lead or govern, no new ideas, no new vision...a once proud party divided and split beyond repair.The whore should have kept her mouth shut.
With his latest tweet, clearly implying that a United States senator would trade sexual favors for campaign cash, President Trump has shown he is not fit for office. Rock bottom is no impediment for a president who can always find room for a new low.
When I made an article here yesterday stating Trump had implied Gillibrand was a whore I was attacked by pretty much every conservative on this site. They said I was reading my own bias into his tweet. Now we have the defacto national newspaper saying exactly the same thing I said. Of course this is not a surprise, because everyone knew that was what Trump was doing. But the "conservatives" on NT didn't have the honesty to say it or accept it.
They're not gonna apologize, either
We don't care what he says about his attackers. His responses are predictable and they always have it coming. However, such statements are not grounds for impeachment, and even censure. When will the LWNJ's learn the personal attacks have not worked, and they never will.
It's Trump who is making the personal attacks that aren't working but they do document his indignity
Then why are you personally attacking those of us who politically lean left?

From Megyn to Mika: A Timeline of Trump's Attacks on Women's Appearances
President Donald Trump's insults about MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski this week, when he called her "crazy" and accused her of "bleeding badly from a facelift," are part of a long history of Trump criticizing women based on their appearances.
Trump has insulted women publicly countless times in his professional life. He has referred to women as "fat," "disgusting," "ugly," a "piece of ass" and rated women's physical appearances on a numbers scale. Trump has ranked the famous women he wants to sleep with and compared women to buildings or works of art. In addition to his words, multiple women have accused Trump of sexual assault and sexual harassment. He has denied the allegations against him.
"I think women are beautiful — I think certain women are more beautiful than others, to be perfectly honest — and it's fortunate I don't have to run for political office," Trump said in a 1993 interview.
Since he announced his run for president, Trump has not stopped his verbally offensive behavior, insulting everyone from Megyn Kelly to Brzezinski.
Here's a timeline of just a few of Trump's insults about women's appearances since he announced his presidential run.

Mika Brzezinski, Joe Scarborough Respond to Trump's Twitter Attack
Aug. 7, 2015 — Megyn Kelly
At the first Republican debate in August 2015, Megyn Kelly asked Trump about the insults he has often hurled at women.
"You've called women you don't like 'fat pigs,' 'dogs,' 'slobs' and 'disgusting animals,'" said Kelly, detailing the different remarks Trump has made about women and asking him if he thought that he had a temperament befitting the office of president of the United States.
"Only Rosie O'Donnell," responded Trump. "For the record, it was well-beyond Rosie O'Donnell," responded Kelly, pressing on.
Kelly's questions as a moderator upset Trump and the next day he did a CNN interview saying that there was " blood coming out of her wherever " when she asked the questions. He also called her a "lightweight" and retweeted a Twitter user who called her a "bimbo."
"She gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions," Trump said. "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever. In my opinion, she was off base."
After a huge backlash to his comments ensued, Trump insisted he had meant to say "nose" and was not implying that Kelly was menstruating.
Aug. 16, 2015 — Heidi Klum
The New York Times ' Maureen Dowd interviewed Donald Trump for an article published on Aug. 16, 2015.
She asked him about getting away with insulting John McCain or rating Heidi Klum and still maintaining support, when his comments might otherwise sink a candidate.
“Sometimes I do go a little bit far,” he said to Dowd. He couldn't help but add, “Heidi Klum. Sadly, she’s no longer a 10.”
Klum responded to Trump's comment by posting a video on Twitter of her wearing a "10" sign which is then changed to a "9.99" by a fake Donald Trump.
Sept. 9, 2015 — Carly Fiorina
Donald Trump mocked Carly Fiorina's face when sitting with staffers during his campaign, a Rolling Stone reporter recounted in a Sept. 9 article on the then-presidential hopeful.
"Look at that face!" the magazine reports him saying as an image of Fiorina popped up on the television. "Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?" He apparently added that he knows she's a woman and he shouldn't "say bad things" but "folks, come on."
March 23, 2016 — Heidi Cruz
In March of 2016 Trump retweeted an offensive meme comparing photographs of Heidi Cruz's and Melania Trump's faces. The meme crudely implied that Melania is more attractive than Heidi.
The controversy began when a pro-Ted Cruz Super Pac launched an attack ad with an old nude photo of Melania. Trump responded by saying he would "spill the beans" about Heidi Cruz, and then retweeted the meme View image on Twitter
July 25, 2016 — Elizabeth Warren
Last July, Trump was criticizing Elizabeth Warren at a North Carolina rally , calling her his nickname for the senator, "Pocahontas." Trump often mocks Warren for her claim that she has Native American ancestry.
In an interview she once talked about her aunt praising her grandfather's "high cheekbones" that he had "like all of the [Native Americans] do."
Trump brought up Warren's cheekbones at the rally, saying, “You find anything nice about her cheekbones? I dunno. So, look at her cheekbones.
Sept. 6, 2016 — Hillary Clinton
During the presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly said that Hillary Clinton didn't have the right "look" to be president.
"I just don’t think she has a presidential look, and you need a presidential look," he said in an interview with ABC News that was broadcast on Sept. 6. Lester Holt asked him about his comments during the first presidential debate later that month.
"She doesn’t have that? The look," said Trump, repeating his claim. "She doesn’t have the stamina."
The next month Trump said he "wasn't impressed" when Clinton walked in front of him during one of the debates. "When she walked in front of me, believe me, I wasn’t impressed," he said at a rally in North Carolina.
Sept. 27, 2016 — Alicia Machado
Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump out for the mistreatment of Alicia Machado, the 1996 Miss Universe winner from Venezuela, whom Trump allegedly called "Miss Piggy" and "Miss Housekeeping."
On Sept. 27, Trump went on Fox & Friends and spoke about Machado's weight being a "real problem" after she won the Miss Universe title.
"She was the winner, and she gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem," he said. At 3 a.m. on Sept. 30 he tweeted about Machado , referring to a supposed sex tape and calling her "disgusting."
Clinton responded, calling Trump "unhinged."
In early October, a 2005 Access Hollywood tape of Donald Trump speaking with Billy Bush about women on a bus was leaked.
Trump can be heard talking about how he "moved on" Nancy O'Dell when she was married.
"I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married,” Trump can be heard saying. "Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look."
He can also be heard talking about Arianne Zucker, who was waiting to bring them on to the Days of Our Lives set where Trump was filming a cameo. He sees her and says he needs to use TicTacs in case he starts kissing her.
"You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait," said Trump. “And when you’re a star, they let you do it."
"Grab them by the pussy,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”
Trump dismissed the conversation as "locker room banter" as backlash ensued against him for the comments.
Oct. 13, 2016 — Natasha Stoynoff
After Trump's Access Hollywood tape leaked, presidential debate moderator Anderson Cooper pressed Trump on whether he has ever kissed or groped women without their consent. Trump said no, and soon after, multiple women came forward with allegations of sexual assault and harassment by Trump.
One of those women was former People writer Natasha Stoynoff . Trump responded by denying the allegations and implying that Stoynoff wasn't attractive enough to sexually assault.
"Take a look, you take a look," Trump sat at a rally in Florida. "Look at her, look at her words, you tell me what you think. I don't think so."
June 29, 2017 — Mika Brzezinski
On Thursday, Morning Joe 's Mika Brzezinski made fun of Trump for having fake Time magazine covers of himself framed in multiple Trump properties.
Although he claimed he doesn't watch Morning Joe anymore, shortly after the host's remarks, Trump started insulting Brzezinski on Twitter calling her "low IQ Crazy Mika" and referring to Joe Scarborough as "Psycho Joe."
He said the couple and co-anchors went to Mar-a-Lago for three nights around New Year's Eve and insisted on joining him while Brzezinski was "bleeding badly from a face-lift."

People in Glass Houses!
Big news from the White House today !
Game show contestant turned senior presidential adviser Omarosa Mannigault has been fired. Trump got tired of her leaving her smelly shoes all over the west wing.
So an opinion piece is "big news"?
Omarosa was fired. The game show contestant turned senior Trump adviser is GONE.
Doesn't answer my question.
Actually it does. No one claimed that the editorial is "big news" (although it would seem to be).
The big news is Omarosa leaving.
I never referred to the editorial. I referred to and quoted YOUR comment. I guess I should give you some credit from trying to deflect it though. Nah.
Not true. She announced she will be resigning effective January 20, 2018 to pursue outside business opportunities.
She was made an offer (to leave) that she couldn't refuse.
I don't know what you are talking about but you are boring me again.
more of your wild fantasies
So you want to cut and run.
She was fired.
Kelly got sick of her melodrama and continuously triggering Trump.
Ryan later followed up with:
Omarosa was told to "resign". Of course.
A White House official tells the WSJ that Omarosa Manigault Newman was “physically dragged and escorted off the campus.”
Lol, where is the video we all wanna see?!
Lol - karma.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.spin.com/2017/12/omarosa-manigault-fired-security-white-house%3famp=1
Ryan said that sources confirmed that she did not take the news of her dismissal well, walked over to the president’s residence, “and tried to get in.”
“General Kelly was called back to deal with this issue as Omarosa was trying to get into the residence to see the president,” Ryan continued. “The Secret Service stopped her and she was escorted off campus.”
During the argument with Kelly, sources alleged that Manigault Newman “claimed that she had brought the black vote to President Trump.”
“General Kelly says, ‘No, that is not true.'” Ryan said.
According to this report she was told by Kelly that she was done. She then said that Trump wouldn't allow for that to which Kelly replied that Trump had already signed off on it. That's when she lost it and actually tried to enter the president's residence, and the Secret Service had to drag her outta there.
~LINK~
She probably had a death grip on a solid gold candelabra as they were dragging her out the door.
At least she didn't have access to the nuclear codes, as far as we know.
There’s still heel marks in the carpet.
That pretty much fits her behavioral profile. Also, too, more: If you work for a scumball, expect to be treated as scum.
$50 says she and Trump were doing it. One doesn't get that kind of crazy without having had at least 3 or 4 fairly recent booty-calls.
So?
Rumor has it that Trump gave her the codes for pissing on his head!
"With his latest tweet, clearly implying that a United States senator would trade sexual favors for campaign cash"
Funny....When he said the same type thing to Cruz and Rubio....Men......No one said that it was implying Cruz or Rubio were "Whores".
Say the same damn thing to a women.....now he's referring to a "Women"..... as "Whore"?
What a bunch of whiney Hypocritical media hungry "whores" liberals are, for making this NOW to be a sexist thing.
Just Fuck me.....RIGHT NOW !
Either Women ARE Equal....or they're NOT.....WHICH IS IT !
USA Today is not a liberal newspaper.
They NEVER liked Trump. As they have said before....they supposedly have NEVER taken sides :
Now back to this "Women" are supposed to be "EQUAL" thing. Your thoughts ?
is what's good for the GOOSE, is good for the GANDER.....a Reality.....or just a liberal ploy !
Trump said that Cruz and Rubio 'would do anything'? Link please.
They NEVER liked Trump.
That doesn't prove anything. No one in their right mind likes Trump.
Only a degenerate would consider Donald Trump a likeable person.
only a fellow degenerate would consider Democrats to be moral people
It’s really funny that you think that kind of comment makes you appear intelligent or interesting.
trying to be a mind reader? That was not my intent. I don't care what you think.
Signed,
Roy Moore, child molester and "man of God".
Even a leftist like Chris Matthews admits that the media is to the left
Don't waste your breathe. The folks you are talking to are hopelessly partisan and polarized to the far left reaches of the political spectrum. Past left-field, past the concession stands behind left-field, out in the stinky, bum populated alley outside of the stadium .... yeah, waaaaaay out there!
One day you will stop defending Trump and feel embarrassed that you ever did. It is inevitable for all of you.
I'm happier every day with Trump in the White House instead of ANY Democrat. Trump's actions and policies have been the most conservative since Calvin Coolidge.
Is this thread about me? No? Then stop trying to make it so.
lol.
Who did you try to make it about?
The paper with the highest or second highest circulation in the country gave an incredibly harsh dismissal of the president of the United States, that is the topic. No matter what sort of unprecedented criticism of Trump takes place, people like you pretend it is meaningless. One day the meaning will dawn on you.
Again and for the last time this thread is not about me John. You are welcome to attempt to play your reindeer games with someone else but not with me.
Your attempt to bamboozle doesnt impress me. No one said the thread is about you. It's not. YOU are the one who tried to make it about someone other than Trump, not me.
That was your first comment on the seed. So if anyone associated with your comments tried to make the discussion about someone other than Trump, it was you.
Have it your way
Don't waste your breathe. The folks you are talking to are hopelessly partisan and polarized to the far left reaches of the political spectrum.
Hopelessly partisan?!
Do you realize that you just said that to the guy who just said this?:
only a fellow degenerate would consider Democrats to be moral people
and this:
I'm happier every day with Trump in the White House instead of ANY Democrat.
Do you even know the definition of the word ‘partisan’?
So basically what you are trying to say is ..... that the folks in aren't partisan.
Is that it?
I think it’s clear what I am saying - you should invest in a dictionary.
Nope, not even close. I suggest better reading comprehension for you.
Lol. I’m done wasting my “breathe” on you.
Thanks, that is a great early Christmas present.
Much appreciated!
And you are "Mr. Objectivity" …
Comparatively speaking? Yes i am.
Appreciate that you noticed.
I must be Crazy ?
How come you didn't want to continue the original thread ?
Did I scare you with my "Craziness" or was my original question about Goose/Gander just too hard to answer honestly ?
How come you didn't want to continue the original thread ?
I am happy to say I don't know what you are talking about either. That seems to happen a lot around here.
The original thread has to do with the USA Today editorial saying Trump isn't fit to clean Obama's toilets. That is something we can all agree on.
No we don't. Obama isn't fit to do anything but be forgotten
Yeah, Israel loves him for all the fine support he gave them.
Obama signed a bill giving Israel 30 billion dollars over 10 years just before he left office.
So what? That was nothing new and more or less just continued the support started long ago.
Obama was clearly more anti Israel than pro during his tenure. History will record it that way regardless of the spin being applied here.
I agree that marxist collectivists around the world love their comrade Hussein Obama.

This is true.
TRUMP = JESS WILLARD (to his base) …
… and quite possibly, that does not even qualify him for "useful idiot" status among a base that appears to be eroding.
For EVANGELICALS … it may be REVELATIONS time.
Those are words taken from the article. There are some members of NT who shouldn't expect it of their POTUS if they are incapable of paying heed to those words themselves.
"Donald Trump Is Unfit To Clean Toilets In Obama's Presidential Library Or Shine George W. Bush's Shoes"
I disagree.
Of course he's fit for such objectives … resoundingly so!
If only he were fit to be POTUS.
Comrade Hussein Obama might be good for Venezuela but he was an enemy of freedom loving Americans.
