Not really what trump said but I guarantee this guy has never heard anything remotely like that story, or the actual truth of what Trump said or what he was accused of.
Can you beat Trump? Pick the WORST people for his cabinet positions you can think of!

Really it does seem like it when he said on Howard Stern "I’ll go backstage before a show, and everyone’s getting dressed and ready and everything else" Plenty of teens coorberate Trumps brag too.
Or how about this "You know, no men are anywhere. And I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant. And therefore I’m inspecting it… Is everyone OK? You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible-looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that,"
Rolling Stone article on it
But at least it was a sexual predator walking in on them, it could have been far worse and been a trans woman just trying to pee.
SO how is what I said meaningfully different from what Trump bragged about doing?

Did Trump Admit Going Into Changing Room of Beauty Pageant Contestants?
The then-pageant owner reportedly told Howard Stern he walked in when adult contestants were naked.

Jesus, I'm defending him not being a perv because he's less of a perv but still a perv. There's a joke by some comedian about explaining the difference between a pedophile and a hebephile, which you can't really do because just trying makes it seem like you are a pedophile.
Basically, he admitted to going backstage of Miss USA not Miss teen USA. Still creepy but not as creepy.
Anyrate, the guy I was talking about hasn't heard either version of that story.
ETA: My point is, there's some hope on getting through to some of them, at least now he's asking, WTF? A little late but late is better than never?

Your point is that all the former Miss Teen's who talked about him walking in on them are lying like those who accused Bill Cosby.Did Trump Admit Going Into Changing Room of Beauty Pageant Contestants?

My point is, he didn't admit to walking in on a bunch of teenagers nor brag about, so that version is disinformation. A version you believed and my associate has never heard, if he had, he'd look it up and find out it wasn't true. Which is a problem with the coverage of Trump. Constant exaggeration of his @#$@#nes just enables folks to overlook is actual @#$@$ness.
ETA: I do love when folks either can't read or are deliberately obtuse. I literally spent more words explaining that trump was in fact awful than explaining why it is a lie to say he bragged about ogling teenage girls but the take away was, so you are saying they are liars. Nope, I'm saying he didn't brag about that and this fella didn't vote for a fella that bragged about ogling little girls because it never happened this fella almost certainly never heard the real story of what Trump said and what trump was accused of related to the lie you repeated.

Why would he bother? He already wrote off Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women, why would invading the changing room be any different?
He wouldn't any more than you would bother finding out whether it was true that Trump bragged about ogling children.

As Gaetz has seen the writing on the wall...or is that the writing on the ethics committee's report...and withdrawn from nomination, I'd still like to know your opinion on the other 3.

We're all praying it's our senator, Mike Lee. Not that he would be a competent attorney general, but it would allow our governor to appoint a better choice for senator.
If he picks Ghouliani, we'll know he's just trolling now.

Picking Vance as Deputy Prez confirmed it 80% for me some time ago.

It's Pam Bondi, former AG of Florida. On paper, it makes sense. she was a state AG and worked for almost 20 years as a prosecutor. That will make Republicans comfortable with her. Of course, the last 10 years or so, she's been a social media influencer for the far right like Trump. She has spouted a lot of his racist garbage and stupid conspiracy theories.
she also defended him in the House when he was impeached for using his office to extract personal favor from Ukraine and also refused to join the law suit by several other state AGs agaisnt Trump University. After he donated to her election campaign.

She showed Trump that she accepts bribes, so she is definitely qualified for the job.
Normally I hate that sort of playing with folks names, very school yard but, I have to admit, ghouliani is pretty amusing.

I heard today that your new Senator-elect had said he would not vote to confirm Gaetz. The others were the usual suspects of Murkowski and Collins and also McConnell
