Charles Blow drops the hammer on 'sexual predator' Trump in brutally blunt NYT column

In a harsh and uncompromising column for the New York Times, political commentator Charles Blow expressed nothing but disgust about the latest sexual assault allegations levied against Donald Trump and despaired that Americans have become so numb to accusations against the president that he is not sure anything can stop him from being re-elected.

Beginning, ” I am simply disgusted by what’s happening in America,” Blow immediately added, “My political differences with this president and his accomplices in Congress — and now on the Supreme Court — are only part of the reason. Indeed, those differences may not be the lesser reason, and that, for me, says a lot.”

According to the columnist, Republicans refuse to hold Trump to any standard of civilized behavior and Democrats are afraid to impeach him for provable crimes and that has contributed to Americans’ feelings of helplessness.

“Because nothing changes, because he is never truly held accountable, too many Americans are settling into a functional numbness, a just-let-me-survive-it form of sedation,” he wrote. ” [E. Jean] Carroll writes that Trump ‘pushed her against the wall, pushed his mouth against her lips, then pulled down her tights, unzipped his pants and forced his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis halfway — or completely, I’m not certain — inside me,’” as The New York Times reported it,” Blow relayed.

“Don’t just keep reading. Don’t just think that you’ve heard this before. Don’t just think that this kind of ‘behavior’ is baked into how people feel about Trump,” he admonished. “Go back and read that last paragraph. Read it slowly. Place yourself — or your mother, or your wife, sister, daughter, cousin, girlfriend or friend — in that dressing room. Imagine the struggle. Imagine the violation. Imagine the anger.”

He then added, “And now remember that the alleged perpetrator is now the president. And, remember that Carroll is by no means alone; a chorus of other women have also accused Trump of sexual misconduct.”

According to Blow, under Trump, a “sickness has settled on this country,” and he placed the blame on a segment of the public which can’t even be bothered to express concern that the president is likely a sexual predator despite multiple women coming forward.

“To you, America, I ask: What is the breaking point? Is there a breaking point? Does nothing now matter that used to matter? Do we simply allow this accusation to pass like all the others, using the limping excuse that whether or not the man who sits in the Oval Office is a sexual predator or not, he was sufficiently litigated in the 2016 election?” he wrote. “How to weigh one woman’s tale of victimization — or that of multiple women — by Trump against a world being driven into chaos by Trump? Mustn’t our concern shrink relative to our concern for the rest of humanity?”

1. Even Hitler did not rape women

Pretty bad when the President has lower morals than Hitler.

[DENVERPOPS]

5. But

But his soldiers sure did, in every city they overthrew.............................The soldiers didn't just rape them, the group of 10-20 gang raped the women. Of course the Japanese soldiers did the same thing in WWII..........

2. I hope someone in the stage tonight refers to Trump

as an accused rapist.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. It will be Biden or Harris who says that, and I hope they do....

Use clear, correct words that burn into the minds of voters that a vote for Trump is a vote for a degenerate sexual predator who believes women are for his perverted pleasure and nothing more. Any father who refers to his daughter as "a great piece of ass" DOES NOT merit the title of President, let alone Dog Catcher.

6. "... an accused serial rapist."

[Moostache]

7. He is worse than that even...

He is an ADMITTED ("Don't even ask...just start kissing...grab them by the pussy" - THAT is a fucking QUOTE, not conjecture, or supposition or accusation....HE SAID IT!), serial (thrice married with 5 kids by 3 women - KNOWN) philanderer and accused rapist whose policy decisions have led to CAGING CHILDREN, SEEING DROWNED MIGRANT BABIES and a total loss of global respect for the United States of America.

He is the four horsemen of the apocalypse rolled into one orange meat suit with fake hair and a bad temper.

4. The numbing down of a dumb electorate

The bigger picture is thus: Just about everyone, including Trump supporters, is tired of the chaos.

[Achilleaze]

9. Degenerate republican morals and "family values" are a cesspool of skank

republicans are dragging the USA into the moral cesspool they have created with their degenerate values, as personified in Dirty Donny, the republican Draft-dodger-in-Chief they so submissively adore.

[Ilsa]

10. It's really a shame just one of those women

didn't know self-defense so they could have stopped him and maybe even broken his neck.

[Grasswire2]

11. Autocrats rise by wearing out good people with outrage after outrage.

That is documented by authorities on the subject.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

[live love laugh]

12. Hearing the others' stories would be damning. nt

13. trump seems to have a fascination with rape

He brings it up quite a bit in is ravings. Women being raped on their way to the US border, Mexicans are rapists, and on and on.
