No video released yet but the right wing blog-sphere is already claiming it's AI. Put on your seat-belts and keep your hands inside the car at all times.

Yes, it makes no logical sense in this physical realm... and they still won't question it

It never happened.

It's AI.

She lied about her age.

Everyone would have done the same.

Actually pedophilia is OK now.

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 28 points 12 hours ago

Mrrrmmm, ACKchyually, she's over 15 so it's EPHEBOphilia. They're two very different things, thank you very much.

No no no no. The last one isn't true.

The rich can do whatever they please, that's their right for being rich (/s).

[-] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 45 points 13 hours ago

They didn't care when Jeffrey Epstein hooked Don up with a 13-year-old at his private minor rape party. Why would they care about a boob grab?

[-] rsuri@lemmy.world 59 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Why would they tease it and not release it? Where does this claim even come from? The article just says the sources are "Several social media users, including commentators and reporters". Then it seems like all the people tweeting about it are right wingers. I'm suspicious. Could be a distraction from the more credible stories about Trump loving Hitler and shitting on a slain soldier for having an expensive funeral for a Mexican.

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

It would be a wild choice for a distraction. The rumors claim that the person with the video is shopping it around. They want a payday before they give the video to anyone. Sadly, that means that a deep-pocketed Trump ally could do a catch and kill and never release it.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 243 points 17 hours ago

Maybe there's a video, maybe there's not.

But nobody is saying "No way! Trump would never do that!" or "This is a shocking scandal that nobody would have believed!"

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 hours ago

I hate the man and I'm saying I don't think he's this stupid. He wants to get re-elected too much to do something so reckless.

Has he assaulted other women? No fucking doubt. But not two weeks from the election at a campaign event with a ton of reporters around him. It's not believable.

[-] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 30 points 14 hours ago

I grabbed her titty. She asked me too. With a tear in her eye she said please please please Mr. Trump touch my titty. I obligated. I couldn't help it. I had to. She was so innocent. It was a perfect titty touch.

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 105 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

That's the sad reality of it. The sadder part is that, even if it's true, his cult still won't care.

And, of course, the minor being groped won't see any justice.

[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 55 points 17 hours ago

I think what's even sadder is that so-called moderates and centrists won't care. Trump didn't win in 2016 due to his cult. He won because everyday people recognized how fucked up he was and decided they didn't care.

[-] GardenVarietyAnxiety@lemmy.world 25 points 15 hours ago

And don't forget the "huhuhuhuh imma vote for him as a joke, bro" crowd.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 6 points 11 hours ago

Thankfully those only voted Trump in 2016 and quickly found it wasn't funny

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 12 points 10 hours ago

There are plenty of kids who just turned 18 this year. They were 9 when Trump began his first campaign, and certainly don't remember any political reality before it.

I don't think enough of them will be voting for lols this time to matter, but it's worth noting that every electorate for every election is distinct.

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 19 points 15 hours ago

There are a lot of people who went for Trump in 2016 that he's never going to get back again. The "I only voted for him as a joke because I thought he had no chance and I didn't like Clinton as a candidate" folks are real. I know one in real life and he's very repentant. Voted for Biden in 2020 and will be voting for Harris this November.

He's no longer an unknown quantity, so people voting for him because they were giving him the benefit of the doubt have had an entire Trump term to have that doubt stripped away. I think they'll avoid making that mistake again, just like they avoided it in 2020.

Then there's the accelerationists who thought voting Trump in would be the quickest way to bring about a rapid collapse of the shitty duopoly and convince both parties that they need to reevaluate their platforms. As it turns out, it just dragged both parties even further right, so those guys can safely stay home knowing that handing Trump a second term isn't going to further their agenda in the slightest.

I'm sure there were a lot of people who were just duped with misinformation and bullshit, and I hope those guys still remember how they were tricked last time and vote accordingly.

Lastly, I still believe that there are American voters out there who drew lines in the sand, said they were uncrossable, and meant it. Things like staging a coup to remain in power, getting impeached twice, threatening to end the constitution, and threatening to use the military against his political opponents. Those people have to step up to the plate now more than ever.

That was my reading in 2016 -- before the election, I realized that the "thrill vote" would go to Trump, and the average folks were going to sit it out because Hillary Clinton couldn't energize anybody.

I'm getting a lot of those feelings around KH too. I just hope folks come out for the anti-Trump vote, at least.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 11 hours ago

"Finally getting Trump out of the News Cycle" isn't motivating!?!

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 18 points 17 hours ago

As hard as it is to listen to talk radio it's also kind of fun to catch the nuances in their bullshit. Someone accuses Trump of praising Hitler and immediately they say, "Wow! This is such a desperate play from the Democrats!"

[-] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 75 points 16 hours ago

You are about to see insanely desperate stuff from Democrats. Expect fake AI generated crap about Trump coming soon. Stay focused AND VOTE!

-Charlie Kirk

Hasn't even seen the video, but already dismissing it as AI. Anything that the right doesn't like is fake.

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 89 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

If anyone produces multiple bowls of spaghetti from behind their backs we'll know it's AI... Otherwise it already sounds like plausible behavior for someone who bragged about "grabbing 'em by the pussy".

That's the thing to remind people about - he's already said he gropes women. He's already said he walks in on minors at teen beauty pageants.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 36 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

It's not just what he has said, it's what he has done:

Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll

[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 53 points 17 hours ago

For accuracy's sake, he said he walked in on the adult pageants. He was also accused of walking in on the teen pageants.

I'm 100% certain he did both though.

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 37 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

You're right about that minor detail, I must have misremembered - because it's actually multiple minors who have spoken up as victims of his predations:

On the heels of the damaging videotape on which Trump and former Access Hollywood host Billy Bush salivated over Days of Our Live actress Arianne Zucker, and joked about sexually assaulting women, came allegations that Trump entered the Miss Teen USA changing room where girls as young as 15 were in various states of undress.

Mariah Billado, Miss Teen Vermont 1997 told BuzzFeed, “I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here.'” Three other teenage contestants from the same year confirmed the story.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/a-timeline-of-donald-trumps-creepiness-while-he-owned-miss-universe-191860/

He's so prolific in being a known rapist and molester that Wikipedia has a page for the receipts:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_sexual_misconduct_allegations

...and their issues with the page (from the tags at the top) are too often it uses Trump's own admissions as the source, and that it needs to be updated. Both of which indicate just how into doing this sort of stuff he is.

[-] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 30 points 17 hours ago

Any video of the Man who bragged about grabbing Women by the Pussy and who was friends with Jeffrey Epstein and who Perved on Underage Beauty Pageant participants is OBVIOUSLY AI! DRAG QUEENS!

[-] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Thats a different groping

[-] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 8 points 15 hours ago

Stacey Williams was born in 1968 which would have made her 25 years old in 1993 when this groping took place, so I believe I'd prefer some source other than timesnownews for a story about Trump groping a minor, before sinking my teeth into an October surprise that clearly has no basis in discernible truth yet

[-] vxx@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

The article posted here isn't about Stacey Williams, it's about an alleged tape where he gropes a minor.

There's no other source on this that I can find though, so I'm not holding my breath for that video to exist. The source is some twitter accounts.

[-] iknowitwheniseeit@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 14 hours ago

According to the Forbes article she later received a postcard in 1993, not that the groping occurred in 1993.

This is being pushed as the October surprise on X. The MAGA Cult is so far gone I don't think much will change their mind at this time. "It was Gods will he groped her."
