I have to give Scott Sumner credit for this one, it's a pretty good observation:
Brendan, You said:
“I don’t know how to roll back PC and make speech free, in practical terms, in the US again. But folks like Trump are a start.”
"Is this a joke? You do know that Trump wants to change the libel laws to make it easier for Trump to sue those who disagree with him, don’t you? Is that what free speech means? Or does it mean beating up anti-Trump protesters? Or does it mean praising people like Putin? Yes, Trump is really committed to the 1st Amendment."

Indeed. This is a man who seems to have good things to say for every dictator you can mention. He admires Putin, Kim Jong-un, and the Tinanmen Square Massacre in 1989. He described those protests as 'riots.'

He also keeps a book of Hitler's speeches by the bed.

Of course this is what Ivana Trump said then. She also said that Trump raped her over a bad hair day. As Josh Marshall says, she hasn't taken it back-not exactly. Basically it was rape but 'not in the criminal, legal sense.'
So if it were the other kind of rape, then ok. By the way, this was under deposition.

I agree with Josh Marshall. I would not normally go here but Trump is the one who keeps accusing Bill Clinton of rape. So that being the case then it is time to talk about Ivana Trump's deposition.

Hillary would probably not want to talk about this herself-but her surrogates should.
Nor is this the only time Trump as been accused of rape in a deposition. This one is by a 13 year old girl.

Another good one Mike.
ReplyDeleteThank you Thomas! Sumner does have some good anti Trump stuff. Though of course I disagree with him that Trump''s tax returns are not fair game.
