Considering you're using wikipedia and not actual hard proof sources, you bet your hiney I have a lot to say on this. We got videos of Joe Biden putting his hands all over kids, and not in a good way. Have anything the same for Trump other than "she said, he said"?
From the Wikipedia source, along with a quote from the Howard Stern Show with multiple other sources attached.

"
Trump owned the Miss Universe franchise, which includes Miss USA and Miss Teen USA, from 1996 to 2015.[104][136] In a Howard Stern interview in 2005, he said he made a practice of walking into the contestants' dressing rooms unannounced while the women were undressed:

I'll go backstage before a show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else. ...You know, no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant. And therefore I'm inspecting it. ... Is everyone OK? You know, they're standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible-looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that. But no, I've been very good.[136][139]

In that interview, Trump declined to say whether he had slept with any contestants, saying, "It could be a conflict of interest". Stern then imitated a foreign contestant ("Mr. Trump, in my country, we say hello with vagina"), and Trump jokingly responded, "Well, you could also say, as the owner of the pageant, it's your obligation to do that."[140][136]

Contestants of the shows have specifically alleged that Trump entered the dressing rooms while they were in various stages of undress in 1997, 2000, 2001, and 2006."

Here he literally admits to creeping on women, tie that with his famous "grab em by the pussy comment" along with many other things he has said and admitted to, the allegations against Trump are very credible.

Another incident with sources:
In 1992, Trump appeared on NBC News' show A Closer Look, hosted by Faith Daniels. During the show, Daniels said Trump (divorced at the time) agreed to make an appearance because: "You kissed me on the lips in front of the paparazzi, and I said, 'That'll cost you. I'm booking you on the show.'" Trump replied that the kiss was "so open and nice", and that he thought Daniels' husband "had his back turned at the time". Trump had invited NBC News to film a party he threw for himself and Jeffrey Epstein at Mar-a-Lago, where they joined various NFL cheerleaders; the kiss incident occurred there. NBC News revealed footage of the party in July 2019, showing Trump, Epstein and the cheerleaders. At one point during the video, Trump grabbed a woman around her waist, pulled her against his body, and patted her buttocks. At another point, Trump appears to tell Epstein: "Look at her, back there ... She's hot."[148][149][150]

A quote regarding his pedophile friend Jeffery Epstein:

A 2002 article in New York magazine quoted Trump talking about Jeffrey Epstein: "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it, Jeffrey enjoys his social life."[152]

Facts don't care about your feelings for Trump. I know you don't like research or learning but there is ample evidence from many sources, including videos and his own quotes. Regardless, acting like sexual misconduct/rape simply doesn't exist just because there isn't a video is callous and quite frankly, dumb. It's disrespectful to the people who face harassment every day and it makes you look like an asshole for defending rapists.

bitmaster in this thread:

Q1) Why did BitMaster make this stupid thread in the first place?
A1) He wanted to circlejerk.
Q2) Why has he made arguments, provided zero evidence and then committed surprised pikachu face and started deflecting when people rebut said arguments with actual evidence?
A2) He wanted to circlejerk.
Q3) Is GBATemp a place that any sane man would choose to circlejerk on?
A3) No, he really should've stuck to Parler (if it hasn't been taken down again for being an echo chamber for society's absolute worst).
Q4) Am I likely to get a proper, logical response to this that doesn't indulge in various fallacies?
A4) No, he wants to circlejerk.

The third sentence of the OP was kinda interesting, as I recall the site leaning a lot more right prior to 2016. Perhaps I'm just remembering wrong, politics weren't as heated on here, the conservatives left for other online political venues, or 2016 onwards sparked a lot more conversations and realizations of what that party is/was becoming.

Obviously it's not just one thing that changed public opinion on this, but I'd still like to thank this woman in particular for lifting the mask on what Trumpism (and by extension the modern Republican party) is really all about. Hurting the "right" people, and doing nothing to help or heal the nation as a whole.

Ever since we hired @Chary Sarkeesian things have gone downhill, I don't think the site can be saved. It's just feminism up and down and all around.

Inside jokes aside, I don't have a whole lot to contribute, partisan news are always cringe, on both sides.

Right, there was plenty of sleepwalking into a Trump presidency because he had no political baggage and had been in the entertainment industry and could work a crowd while hilary just had a political career and an cheating husband of an ex president .

There should probably be a law that you can't just come in and be a president without holding another political position first.

You wouldn't hire someone to renovate your house or fix your car who had never had any experience & was just going to wing it and pick it up as they went along, just because they insulted everyone else with catchy phrases. Choosing a president of your country should be more careful than that.

In other news, donald j trump is still rambling on with his insane press releases.

great just what we need more alt right garbage ther i'm done contributing errr i lied how the hell can you support texas's voting bill are they that afraid of dems taking over they need to screw over black voters? i'm not throwing latino's into the mix (even though it screw's them over too) because then the racist comments start

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Alright! So with the responses so far, I'm gonna post news from today, and maybe along the way post some old stuff? We'll see.



New kink: Masking while sexing.


I'm not surprised, but some might be if they let it sink in.


Hate crimes exist, but the supply does not meet the demand.

Now, here's channels which cover multiple topics in a video.







The last guy is really good and I recommend his channel.

This is really all the tip of the tip of the iceberg, as many topics have been covered in the past and many more will be now and in the future. I'm curious to see where this goes (a lot of trolling and naming calling I see about in the future). So let's end with some more comedy from the left.



Edit: By the by, I recommend watching these videos whilst doing something else. I listen to them while I workout and it does pass the time.


Maybe. There are a lot of videos, news and all, and I'll try my best to post as much here as I possibly can.

you just proved my damn point

I don't get what BitMaster thought he'd accomplish by making this thread and filling it with blatantly false mudslinging. Like, even if I was Republican (hell, even if I was a Trumper, assuming I'd still have the same rough intelligence and that there isn't some hard neural cap on how much of a brain you can have left by the time you vote for that fucker), I still wouldn't look at those videos as anything more than shitty bait.
Step 1: blame Biden, exonerate Trump. Step 2: act like everyone else has no "real" evidence (No True Scotsman much?) while not actually providing any. Step 3: provide outrage-porn and call it evidence, despite still not providing direct evidence for his claims. Step 4: profit? Nope, just swift rebuttals since GBATemp isn't an echo chamber.

Mostly sharing and pointing the hypocrisy of the left, some of the right, and the media news outlets with news and stories they ted to ignore. I labeled this thread with "conservative" since I know it would catch peoples eye to talk or to troll like some are doing lol Personally, I don't really like any of these labels (conservative, democrat, etc.) since you don't have to put a label on doing what's right, but some just use the name in order to get noticed and/or recognition then do their own thing despite what they're called.
I don't think you are accomplishing these goals. How are you going to point out the hypocrisy of "the left" when there are no Leftist politicians in the US? Most American "Leftists" tend to actually be center to center-right Liberals, most of their political ideas barely swing into the Left or at least do so enough to borrow some Leftist talking points. Unless you are talking about what Americans call "The Left," like Democrats, Liberals, and actual Centrists.

same argument could be said about the right.
There aren’t any “ Real“ Right wing politicians in America… Heck your Republicans don’t even support republicanism.

I can’t remember the last time I heard about a prominent right wing politician promoting smaller Government, less federal law in favor of state and municipal laws, no deficit spending etc.

let’s be real the majority of politicians on both sides are DINO’s & RINO They support wars, big business oligopolies, legalized bribery when it comes to lobbying etc.
The perfect definition of the Uni-party, it feels like the only reason they don’t just come out and make the Uni-party is because it’s advantageous for the elite political class to keep 1/2 of the country fighting the other because they’d rather Emotional infighting between the poors then having the mob rise up against them.

I don’t think this phenomenon is unique to the US I think most western nations are probably dealing with it.
Keep us fighting so The public at large don’t realize the real fight is class based not necessarily ideological on one side of the aisle or the other.

you were heading towards reason at the start and then you spiraled off into a shadow-government conspiracy theory
why does this always happen
you were so close to being within rounding errors of reality, to realizing that at this point the parties are less left and right and more centrist and selfish (with the two flip flopping every few decades, but right now anyone with half a brain would probably figure out which is which based on which one eagerly attempted a coup when its narcissistic manchild leader said so)... and then you kept talking in the wrong direction
