I'm only going to post excerpts of this. It'd be too long to post the entire document, and you can look it up.
The excerpts are enough. The rest, however, does really set the tone. Much of what it notes, we have noted here before.
I'm reminded in this about stories about the Playboy Mansion and some of the people who attended parties there. Bill Cosby, Jim Brown. This went on for a long time. Hefner even managed to escape being exposed during his lifetime.
I'm particularly reluctant to accuse people of horrible acts simply based on reporting But here, in order to believe there's nothing to this, we have to wilfully disregard the women involved.
Is it possible this is all a fable? Well, such things can occur, although by this point this would be an extraordinary fable.
Be that as it may, Trump is now 80 years old. He's destroyed the Republican Party, which has gone from being a Conservative Party to a Fascist Party. His dementia is crossing over from the noticeable stage to the raging stage. So, what will occur with all of this, given the status of his mind?
He remains the purported President of the United States and in that capacity he's steadfastly refused to cooperate in the release of the Epstein files. All the current poll data suggests that the GOP is going to lose the House and may very well lose the Senate. If the Senate remains in GOP hands Trump is safe from impeachment. If there's a "blue wave", as some feel there may be, he isn't.
It's not that there would be so many Democrats in office that they could impeach him on their own. No, rather, it's to what degree the remaining Republicans in the Senate, and the House for that matter, would be willing to cling to a sinking ship, or if you prefer in Trump terms, to be on a sinking electric car in which there are sharks in the water. After the election, the GOP is going to have to take stock on the results, and if things are really bad, and they look like they may be, the same noodle backed politicians who have gone along with Trump will be looking to save their jobs. Some will switch over to being anti Trump in that effort, if a solid reason to do so is presented.
The story of Beatrice Keul provides ample reason to do so. She's a named adult, and has little to profit by having revealed her story. Indeed, she's the former Miss Switzerland. While I'm not a fan of pageants, having a title such as that lends credibility to her accusations. And the accusations are brutal. She maintains that she was ushered into a private suite and that Trump grabbed her from behind and outright raped, not groped, her, leaving her bleeding as a result. In order to discount this, you have to be willing to believe that Keul just flat out made this story up.
The story about the 13 year old is so horrific that if it is further developed, and is true, that would certainly provide ample reason to impeach Trump, as well as an ample reason to prosecute Trump. That story, as noted, has been out for awhile and so far has not been deemed sufficiently established, however.
When the Democrats take the House, it will undoubtedly be the case that these stories will be more fully developed. MAGA's will howl. It's like Rebecca Bextel believing that NASA hasn't made it to the Moon, knowledge is a dangerous thing and would hurt their world view.
If the blue wave is big enough, and it it looks like Trump will drown in it, both big ifs. that brings us back to the 25th Amendment. It's the saving door for Republicans. If the cabinet comes out and states, "gosh, he's nuts", there will be no impeachment. He'll be ushered out the door, and a grateful nation will quit looking at the wreck.
But on the upcoming election, candidates strongly backing Trump, or backed by him, have to answer for this. That's very difficult to do. If you say you flat out don't believe it, you have to provide a reason for such certainty, which is different from having doubts.
A person can't just turn a blind eye to rape. If there's reasons not to believe these stories, and they are now cumulative, what are they?
