    It might have been reversed recentley, but very recentley Domestic abuse was basically allowed in Russia, Police rarely responded to calls from women saying their partners were beating the hell out of them, some ended up dead.

    and the law that allowed it, was pushed by a “traditional values” Woman lawmaker.

    America is Just going to become Russia that speaks English.

    President Trump speaks at the Museum of the Bible

    So there they show all the raping, pillaging, incest, slavery, and mass murders?

    Awesome, where can I see this?

    He yanked some of Ivana’s hair from her scalp and raped her. He doesn’t think he was wrong to do that. Justice would be torturing him to death.

    He raped one of his wives and used the legal defense of “I can’t rape my own property” and got off…

      I think the surprise is how much he’s done and has constantly faced zero actual consequences.

        Everyday someone is surprised hippos kill more people in Africa than lions…

        Because they’re ignorant of how dangerous hippos are, not because new information comes out.

        This is literally Trump’s second term, if you’re just now surprised how bad he is…

        At best you just started paying attention, most likely tho you’re still not paying enough.

      Rep. Gwen Moore, a Democrat from Wisconsin who has championed legislative efforts against domestic violence, said such crimes amount to “abuse that devastates families, endangers women and children, and takes lives every single day.”

      “As a survivor of domestic violence, I found President Trump’s comments today downplaying domestic violence deeply offensive and disturbing,” she said in a statement. “Trump has a long history of violence against women that makes his dismissiveness unsurprising.”

      That was the one result I got when I ctrl-f’d for “surpris” in this article. Just because it’s a completely predictable display of misogyny and ignorance by religious fundamentalists and the orange asshole doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be called out by decent people as the evil shit it is.

    Trump is a scumbag and everyone who supports him is either a scumbag, too, or a fool. None of them should be allowed to have any power.

    It’s an error to try to appeal to trump supporter’s reason. They are drunk on the high of in-group belonging. You don’t reason with a drunk person about why screaming “mr brightside” while half naked in the middle of the highway a bad idea. You make him stop.

    If a man has a little fight with his wife and leaves her with a black eye and broken ribs, they call it a crime!

    Pussies.

    Well you know what? Let’s go with this. Let’s do it like in the old days. Next time a husband has a little fight with his wife, his wife can bring someone to do the fight for her and beat the shit out of him, that’s not a crime, it’s just a little fight.

    If not that, next up what will happen (yet again) is that these husbands misteriously die, do you want that?

    I know Trump’s whole second term is about absolving himself of all his past crimes and heinous acts, but this does raise an interesting question. Is he A-B testing decriminalizing domestic abuse, or is he going whole hog for decriminalizing rape?

      I mean, if it’s good, natural human behavior that reinforces the realities of human interactions and behaviors. It’s a good thing.

      I don’t think they’re justifying as much as just being a bit more honest about life.

      /S

      The psychology of Republican men is kind of obvious, but the women who want this are harder to understand.

        I don’t know man, there’s a depressingly large number of women who–due to low self esteem or related issues–embrace tons of this toxic masculinity shit because it makes them feel more valuable to the shitbags who spew it.

        I personally don’t care for the phrase because it feels a bit misogynistic, but “pick-me girl” is a common word for it.

        Their god has made them believe for centuries now that it is their place to serve their husband. Replublican men marry women who will vote how they tell her to because religiously, she’s nothing but chattel.

          Easy to convince yourself those other women did something to deserve it and that would never happen to you because you’re better than them when there’s all sorts of voices in our society saying things along those lines

        Indoctrination and brainwashing certainly play a role, at least, not to mention other probable psychological factors.

    The abuser and chief at it again. Being a republican means you have abuser supporter on your name tag.
