Trump said Monday that a New York-based advice columnist and author who accused him of raping her in a New York City department store in the mid-1990s was not his “type.” Writer E. Jean Carroll claims that a seemingly friendly encounter with Trump at Bergdorf Goodman in 1995 or 1996 turned violent when the real estate mogul pinned her up against a dressing room wall, pulled down her tights, unzipped his pants and put his penis inside her before she was able to fight him off and run from the store. Trump on rape: “No. 1, she’s not my type. No. 2, it never happened. It never happened, O.K.?” If she was his “type” then sure he’d rape her– That’s the only inference one can draw. What kind of excuse is this??????
Meanwhile… Hundreds of immigrant children who have been separated from their parents or family members are being held in dirty, neglectful, and dangerous conditions at Border Patrol facilities in Texas. This week, a team of lawyers interviewed more than fifty children at one of those facilities, in Clint, Texas, in order to monitor government compliance with the Flores settlement, which mandates that children must be held in safe and sanitary conditions and moved out of Border Patrol custody without unnecessary delays. The conditions the lawyers found were shocking: flu and lice outbreaks were going untreated, and children were filthy, sleeping on cold floors, and taking care of one another because of the lack of attention from guards. Some of them had been in the facility for weeks.
If you’re not outraged you are no longer human. Destroy the Republican enablers in 2020!

Frank, I have been speaking up to trump supporters where I live whenever I hear them make vile remarks. I am beyond horrified and having nightmares about this situation. People tell me I need to keeep my mouth shut or I’m going to get hurt since I live in a red, coastal southern state. I’m sorry but I just can’t. The rationalizations evangelicals make around here are off the Richter scale.
