I'm a feminist and believe in protecting women and enforcing harsh punishments on rapists.
Did you know the majority of women and I guess male children are raped coming into the US by mexicans?
According to feminists, the majority of rapes aren't even reported! so this number may be higher. I also hear from mexican rapist apologists that the number is somewhere between 55-60 % of rapes. Regarldess even if that was true, if most rapes aren't reported, the number still goes back up to 80% based on the liberal world view.
Trump respects women plenty, he insulted a couple. Big deal! Have you seen the women at Trump rallies? I've been to two and the women are absolutely beautiful, ecstatic to be there and they are shown plenty of respect. Just because Trump has made some comments that may or may not be "sexist" against a couple people, deson't mean he meant "all" women.
also fuck that muslim family. The father has questionable ties to organizations that are sympathetic towards terrorists. And what that family did is pathetic.
They used their dead son as a pawn for the Shillary Clinton Campaign to attack Donald Trump. What was Trump supposed to do? sit there and take it like a bitch?
Trump didn't start the war that got his son killed and he certainly didn't advocate for that war. Hillary did, and She's manipulating that family into using their dead son to push the liberal democratic narrative. It's a farce and Trump did the right thing in defending himself.
Sorry, but i'm a minority and I am not offended by anything trump has said and neither are the women in my family. We are all conservatives and support trump.

You have lame excuses for everything I listed except the Central Park 5. No response to that? Let me fill you in.
These boys were forced to give a false confession to a crime they didn't commit, (a jogger was raped and beaten) and spent about 10 years in jail. During that time Trump took out a full page ad in the New York Times calling for these kids to be killed. The real criminal stepped forward and the kids were exonerated. Trump still questions their motives in the park to this day and thinks they were committing crimes. What lame defense can you drum up for that?

il. During that time Trump took out a full page ad in the New York Times calling for these kids to be killed. The rea
lol, not lame excuses, but the truth.
I don't really have an opinion on the central park drama. Yeah what he did was shitty, jumping to conclusions and bashing someone without hearing all the facts or evidence or waiting for a trial is stupid and fucking retarded. Trump was stupid in that moment. I'll meet you halfway on that if it played out like that. I've vaguely heard of the Central Park Jogger rape, but never bothered with it.
Here's the deal... why hold Trump's feet to the fire on this one issue when... liberals and BLM thugs jump to conclusion every time a black person is killed by law enforcement?
every time someone dies, everyone goes ape shit and immediately blames cops right away without a trial or evidence being heard.
Also didn't reddit conduct a handful of witch trials that nearly got people killed or arrested during tragic mass shootings or terrorist attacks that were on going? Reddit got the wrong kid and were acting like cops when theyr'e really just basement dwelling losers who have no idea what they're talking about.
Trump is not a cop and he was not there, not sure why he felt the need to comment on the Central park rape/beating, but he did and he was wrong and people keep doing this all time time, it's not just him.

It's not just the fact that he was wrong. It's the fact that he refuses to apologize. When he was pressed about it, he said "well, what were they doing? Playing Checker?" The implication being that black people are thugs and always up to no good.
[–]RonPaulaAbdulJubbar 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
did BLM ever apologize to all cops they made blanket statements over? did reddit apologize for all its thuggish witch hunting?
He made a stupid assumption and had a stupid opinion on the case, it's not the worst thing someone can do. His words held no weight or power. BLM's and reddit's did and it interfered with ongoing police investigation and BLM destabilized and destroyed entire communities with their rioting and looting.
Trumps words were inconsequential
