Man accused of recruiting dozens of strangers to rape drugged wife is among "worst sexual criminals," daughter testifies

The daughter of a French retiree on trial for enlisting strangers to rape his drugged wife Friday described him as "likely one of the worst sexual criminals in past 20 years."

Dominique Pelicot, 71, has admitted to abusing his wife without her knowledge between 2011 and 2020, drugging her with sleeping pills and then recruiting dozens of strangers to rape her in her own home.

This story is fucking horrifying. Don't go and read about it if you feel at all triggered by the above.

Cackling Kamala wanted the mics unmuted during the upcoming presidential debate, hoping President Trump would interrupt her, so she could go all "BRAT" on him.

But Trumps side disagreed. Much better for the President to just stand silently by and watch the cackler bury herself deeper and deeper into every hole she will dig every time she speaks.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say you have only heard the two candidates speak in the Russian translations. In English Harris is a far more coherent speaker than Trump.

Do you mean like this?
Question:

President Trump, you – you talked about how the increase in the price of food, gas and rent is hurting families, but the real cost that’s breaking families’ backs and preventing women from participating in the workforce is child care. Child care is now more expensive than rent for working families and is costing the economy more than $122 billion a year, making it one of the most urgent economic issues that is facing our country. In fact, the cost of child care is outpacing the cost of inflation, with the majority of American families of young children spending more than 20% of their income on child care. One thing that Democrats and Republicans have in common is that both parties talk a lot about what they’re going to do to address the child care crisis, but neither party has delivered meaningful change. If you win in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable? And if so, what specific piece of legislation will you advance?

Answer:

“Well, I would do that, and we’re sitting down. You know, I was somebody — we had, Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka, was so impactful on that issue. It’s a very important issue.

"But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about — that, because look, child care is child care, couldn’t — you know, there’s something — you have to have it in this country. You have to have it. But when you talk about those numbers, compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to. But they’ll get used to it very quickly. And it’s not going to stop them from doing business with us. But they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country. Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we’re talking about, including child care, that it’s going to take care. We’re going to have — I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country.

"Because I have to stay with child care. I want to stay with child care. But those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I’m talking about, including growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just — that I just told you about. We’re going to be taking in trillions of dollars. And as much as child care is talked about as being expensive, it’s, relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers will be taking in.

"We’re going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people. And then we’ll worry about the rest of the world. Let’s help other people. But we’re going to take care of our country first. This is about America first. It’s about make America great again. We have to do it because right now, we’re a failing nation. So we’ll take care of it. Thank you. Very good question. Thank you.”

'Incoherent word salad': Trump stumbles when asked how he'd tackle child care

His response to a question Thursday raised eyebrows. “Trump sounded like the student who hadn’t studied for the test and was making up numbers,” said one conservative economist.

The president came into his debate with Donald Trump with a low bar to clear, and he struggled, writes Anthony Zurcher.

yea, I know, the whole forum is totally pro left, anti Trump. I don't care. I'll take a big crap on all of you in here once in a while, hope you don't mind

So, you just came here to crap on people?
You thought, where can I go and converse and share with others for fun, and amidst all the social places out there, you found this somewhat small community where likeminded people care about each other and decided to join and be shitty? Lovely.

Ah, only the finest people… not deplorable at all

We do need a contrarian view, to be honest. Thank you. Many of us also respect reliable, verifiable factual information, if you have any to share as well. I know self-blindness affects both parties.

I do have to admit, Trump sounds better in the original German. ;P

What? Too soon?

EDIT:

the President to just stand silently

I have to say, I really admire your sense of humor!

*YAWN*

Your guy struggles to string together words on a teleprompter, and has all the articulate expression of one of the other primates flinging his own excrement.

My eyes would be filled with tears of laughter, except for the fact that I know people out there, like you, take him seriously, which confounds me.

He is so obviously in it only for himself. That you and people like you can't see that, is a very depressing and disappointing reflection of how much this country has let its standards slip.

For what it's worth, I am not anti Trump. I am just anti "Fucking Idiots" in general. Trump is kind of the king of that camp, but that is probably a coincidence.
