President Trump has committed assault, according to these women, and those are very credible allegations of misconduct and criminal activity, and he should be fully investigated and he should resign.
That’s what Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York told CNN on Monday amid new calls for Trump to be held accountable for the numerous allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against him.

In asking for the President’s resignation, Gillibrand joined Cory Booker of New Jersey and Jeff Merkley of Oregon and they were then joined by Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, who tweeted this:
These women are right. If @realDonaldTrump won't resign, Congress must investigate allegations by many, many women that he sexually assaulted and harassed them. No one is above the law. https://t.co/ySP9DVUgLP

All of this comes as a group of women who have all publicly accused Trump of sexual harassment and assault came together for a joint news conference on Monday. All told, the number of accusers stands at 15. In case you missed it, here’s the press conference:
Sarah Huckabee Sanders attempted (again) to deflect saying that because Trump won the election, this matter should be considered resolved. And yes, that’s just as absurd as it sounds.
“The people of this country, at a decisive election, supported President Trump, and we feel like these allegations have been answered through that process,” Sanders told reporters yesterday, just hours after the press conference shown above was held. “The American people knew this and voted for the president, and we feel like we’re ready to move forward in that process,” she added.
Well this morning, Donald Trump tweeted the following about Gillibrand:
Now look, we all know Trump doesn’t know how to use scare quotes and we don’t want to read too much into this because this isn’t a man who thinks through these tweets before he fires them off, but if we had to guess, the use of quotation marks around the word “begging” followed by that bit in parentheses is going to raise questions about what exactly he meant there. That could easily be interpreted as the President of the United States implying something lewd.
Again, we’re not saying that’s what he meant (most of the time he has no idea what he means when he tweets), but we are saying someone will interpret it that way.
He may have just thrown gasoline on a raging fire.
Meanwhile…
You cannot silence me or the millions of women who have gotten off the sidelines to speak out about the unfitness and shame you have brought to the Oval Office. https://t.co/UbQZqubXZv

***********
The American Psychiatric Association is going to have a field day taking this tweet apart. DJT is just plain falling apart before our eyes.
When do women in his orbit finally say “enough”? Complete deranged Dotard.
HOLY SHIT. I was watching Morning Joe when this hit – they were doing a live broadcast from some bodunk place in Alabamie in a crowd who did not support Moore. Mika went beserk and ranted for ten minutes with lots of cheering support, including me, still laying in bed barely awake, and eventually she got around to saying “what everyone else is thinking” … “that he said she wanted to have sex with him”. And H, those are not scary quotes, those are direct quotes! The panel pretty much agreed and they continued tearing him apart for being the pervert pig that he has always been. Mika was so fired up that she even snapped at Joe when he tried to interrupt her and she said “I am speaking” and he knew that was a warning and he did not say another word until she was done. 😉
Then I saw Megyn Kelly and she had yet another woman on her show that told her tale of how the disgusting pervert treated her and also on a 2nd occasion when he followed her away from the group and to the Ladies Room with Melania in hot pursuit and the woman went on to describe Melania’s attitude and appearance of anger towards him and how it was clear Melania was well aware of what he was up to! Megyn Kelly and this woman’s conversation eventually ended with the woman a bit teary and demanding an investigation of trump’s conduct and just because he is the president, he will not get away with all this.
I also heard about Gillibrand’s response and it was freakin’ perfect!
P.S. just saw an update and the woman’s name is Melinda McGillivray and one of the encounters with him was at Mar-Shito (whatever), a concert with Ray Charles, I believe she said.
It really bothers me that we have this repulsive ignorant jackass as president and his nasty repub pals are protecting and supporting him…they all need to be hauled out. Of course they know he is a pig and all these cretins defy America and refuse to just do the right thing while they work like the devil to pass some insane tax reform crap! Anyone who protects all of them is no better and should be packed up and shipped off to live out their miserable lives in Russia.
1. Trump did not commit the crime of Assault upon the women who have come out and described what he did to them. What Trump did was commit the crime of Battery upon the women. In most states Assault is the threat of bodily harm that causes fear of harm in the victim; Battery is the actual infliction of physical impact upon another person.
2. Defenders of Trump and Roy Moore interviewed by press argue that there is no “proof,” that the women’s accusations are true. We know this argument is false, yet many in those press interviews are ill-equipped to reply to the these arguments. The women are eyewitnesses to the crimes, and in a courtroom or in the court of public opinion, their testimony is direct evidence and therefore proof* of the crime of battery or sexual battery.
Also, as in fact happened, where a victim of a Trump battery at or near the time of the event confides in a friend a description or explaination of such startling events and their emotional or mental feelings caused by Trump, the friend may testify to what she or he was told by the victim and constitutes admissble evidence and therefore proof that Trump committed battery.
Eyewitness testimony of victims has been used to convict defendants accused of every crime you can think since the beginnig of this country. You know this.
==========
* Another example: In the case of the 14 year old, where the mother states that Roy Moore walked up to her and her daughter and told the mother that he would take care of the 14 year old, that’s an example of eyewitness testimony that corroborates the 14 year old’s testimony, and constitutes direct evidence and therefore proof of the crime of pedophilia.
Each of these female accusers and characters such as kristen gillebrand who are desperately trying to score political points using Donald Trump [ because they have no other accomplishment to show ] should be subjected to lie detector tests. Mind you, this is a female suggesting this!
You honestly (with a straight face) are suggesting that election to the US Senate by a woman or man for that matter in the state of NY is NOT an accomplishment. Also, the donald our “Molester in Chief” used these women not the other way around. There isn’t just a couple of women there are at least 19 as in nineteen and probably more but are too afraid to come forward.
Lady, this man in his own words admitted he is a sexual offender on tape no less. Please read about these “desperate” women.

Dear Mystery Person who claims to be a female: One of two things is true… either you are just plain dumb as a rock or you are not really a female. You pick.
A female? No. When you are Anonymous you have no sex. Any claim you make about your identity is subject to extreme vetting and the highest suspicion, even greater than that which Trump is subject to, since you fail to take the simple step of calming any proper pronoun, appellation or even opting for the your vanilla Anonymous colored icon and submitting an email to Boss Walt.
On behalf of the victims of Trump, they are willing to take a polygraph twice. Allow Schumer and McConnell to each agree on two Certified Polygraph Examiners. On the same day, in the same building agreed to by Schumer and McConnell, the Polygraph Examiners will be assigned to a room on different floors.
Then each victim will be give a polygraph by Polygraph Examiner A, while Trump gives a polygraph to Polygraph Examiner B. Then the Polygraph Examiners will switch rooms.
Then they shall make their results public and Trump will be shown to a goddamn liar!!
