Bloomberg 2020!
hahaha, ok- so you can admit the actual issue with trump for you is just his political platform. the moral outrage is selective and no genuine.
Do you hear yourself? Exactly like Trump when dozens of women came forward. The lawsuits against Trump. The racism. Your moral outrage is selective! You are shameless !

Do YOU hear YOURSELF? were those not factors as to why you think trump is unfit to serve?

I have never maintained accusations w/o evidence alone should be enough to destroy someone- that would be your side. I never promoted #believewomen as my standard for sexual assault/harassment claims. its has always been innocent until proven guilty and the burden of proof is on the accuser. my standards for what is racist have always fit the dictionary's- Racism is treating someone differently (usually badly) because of their race. name something trump has said/done that meets that standard w/proof it was their race, and not some other factor, I will wait. your (the left in general) standard meanwhile is “Racism = Prejudice + Power” that its institutionalized and based on hierarchies. based on the left's definition, little mike was indeed racist.

little mike denies some of the women's claims, but it doesn't matter. believe all women, like dr. ford, remember? besides he owned up to making sexist comments, he seems ashamed of his comments about black people, he clearly knows he did something wrong, so why are you defending it?

you have no objective standards other than orange man bad.

all I am doing is giving you this info, if you vote for him despite it, you were lying when you said it made trump unfit and too immoral to be president. I was never gonna vote for little mike, so its no skin off my back 🤷‍♀️

I’m so over the finger pointing blatant hypocrisy.
it should matter to people who claimed trump was too immoral to vote for, it should matter to those who protested Brett Kavanaugh based on an the accusation of a pussyhate SJW from 35 years ago and who proclaim #believewomen is enough to destroy someone's career and life. Yes, they should be consistent.

or are they just raging F***ing hypocrites? I tend to think they are.
It matters. I won’t vote for any pig who sexually harasses women whether it’s Bloomberg or trump or Clinton. How about you? Can you vote for someone accused of multiple sexual abuses?
I am glad you are consistent, as unjust as your standards are- unlike others here who have expressed outrage over trump but embrace bloomberg and look the other way.

For me? absolutely. ACCUSED, NOT CONVICTED. to accept baseless accusations alone as a reason to discard someone would be to legitimize the use of sexual assault accusations as a political tool. I require EVIDENCE at a minimum, if there is a motive for someone to lie, I need to consider that too, and I need to consider the credibility of the accusation. in the case of trump, none met my standards. no evidence, motive to lie (hate for trump, lawsuit settlements, book deals, etc) and credibility -E jean carroll for example, NO EVIDENCE, behaving in a way inconsistent with a rape victim, smirking, winking and saying "rape is sexy" to anderson cooper for ex. and her story of the event matching the script from an episode of law and order svu, AND she was promoting her book $$$, also claiming to be a fan of trump on the apprentice after this supposed rape occurred, coming forward 30 years later AFTER trump is president and there is a market for her claims in her book/paid tv show appearances.

but this isnt about me- its about the p**sy hat wearing lefties who claim this is THEIR standard for guilt. bloomberg is running on the democrat side, is he not? lol.

Yup, Bloomberg is gross, literally everyone knows that. He should go back to being a Republican, he’d fit right in.

The left will forgive Bloomberg of everything he ever said or did. He's currently a democrat so its automatic for him. The dems are desperate to NOT have Bernie as the frontrunner and will stand behind Mike no matter what is uncovered and I'm pretty there is much to come.
What so many found disgusting and horrible in regards to Trump will now be perfectly okay with Mike Bloomberg.

It proves over and over again that they simply hate President Trump for no other reason than he won against that pathetic lunatic hillary.

Are you using “the left” to mean the DNC establishment?

Maybe its because I'm old, maybe its because I have never been politically correct, who knows. For many years politics were divided into two groups....the left and right, democrats and republicans, liberals and conservatives. I'm not sure when it changed. I know that when people talk about the left and the right they refer to the sides of the aisles in congress....left side of the aisle is typically democrat, right side is typically republican. That's how it was when I was growing up okay. So yes, when I say the left I am referring to the democrats. I will try to remember from this day forward its the DNC establishment. okay

No, not a hypocrite, I don’t know how many times I’ve said I’d own my hypocrisies and have. I haven’t given Bloomberg any more support than I’ve given Trump. I have made it clear my objections regarding Trump have never been about what political party he decided to run for. It was never about Republican vs Democrat, liberal vs conservative, because the ONLY way to make this country great is by working together, not against each other. Trump’s allegations mattered, not because he is Republican but because the actions and words were wrong. Yes, Bloomberg’s actions and words should matter, but do you think a page isn’t going to be taken from the books of Clinton and Trump? More excuses, more defending, and only the opposing political side only caring because it’s the opposition. I’m exhausted my dear. I have stood up for what I believe is right regardless of what side of the fence the person was on for a long time. 40+ years I’ve been equally optimistic, realistic, idealistic, with hope and faith for humanity, and I gotta say, it’s crumbling. Maybe next week, my energy will have found some restoration, but right now, I’ve got enough going on in my life that is draining enough, and it’s already heartbreaking enough that we are all just running on the same hamster wheel but turned in opposite directions at the same time. No wonder we aren’t going anywhere.

If it were any other incumbent POTUS, particularly one that did not have some of the same accusations against him, would the idea of blowing off Bloomberg's accusations (one of several different things he's recently been accused of from his past) be so readily acceptable?

IOW, are there people who have spent a large amount of time in this country opining about Trump's bad behavior as far sexual harassment accusations willing to accept another person with similar accusations just to get rid of Trump?

Are there "levels" when it comes to the "badness" of these types of accusations?

were you wearing a p**sy hat and protesting brett kavanaugh? if not, I wasn't referring to you. I get that you are dissatisfied with both parties, but regardless of how you feel, one will be victorious. you may as well make an assessment of what the damage will be from A. vs. B. Me personally, I can't risk socialism and open borders and fascists taking our right to defend ourselves. THAT is the moral stand I am taking.
