    So why isn't Tlaib's "f-bomb" not considered locker room talk?

    Well I've been over the Access Hollywood transcript and I'd like you to point out where there is a consensual reference.

    Was it, "I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait."

    Or was it, ""Grab them by the p****y."

    Perhaps, "I moved on her like a b**ch. I couldn't get there and she was married."

    So, where is consensual indicated?

    "they let you" - allow, consent.

    No, it's not a matter of triggering, there were just better, less offensive ways for Tlaib to get her point across than using that vulgar word. That was not locker room talk, she said it in a large mixed group using a microphone.

    Still don't see why you have to apologize for anybody else, they should know better especially in public in front of your own child.

    Because it was done in mixed company. It was not a private conversation being secretly taped. She had a microphone.

    Agree. Except the consent part. “They just let you” unless they don’t. Then you are a sexual offender. That’s quite a gamble and not a prudent strategy for going at women. I can’t believe I have to explain that.

    A public persona says a bad word. The same language our President used in the transcript. Really playing semantics here.

    My point stands. It wasn’t locker room talk. And if you can find where I defended Trump’s language you just go right ahead and post it up.

    I didn’t say you did. Of course if Benjamin were here he’d tell you your argument unavoidably goes that way. By his logic.

    And that’s why I rarely talk to Benjamin.

    There is a huge difference between a private conversation being secretly recorded and a victory speech in front of constituents.

    I don’t believe Trump EVER grabbed a woman like that without consent. I do believe a lot of others have.

    Only a Trump hater or a fool could fail to see the difference.

    Oh there’s a huge difference alright. The real guy off camera and the mask to placate the base. You don’t believe he EVER grabbed a woman like that isn’t really a definitive statement. Someone that talks like that is gross. The locker room talk copout might work for a sixteen year old but there comes a point where you become a grown man and should evolve past that. Again, you can disagree but I think it’s telling.. Throw in paying off a pornstar and you see a pattern that the guy is a pervert. She said the f word. Trump checked that block pretty early in the transcript and then easily took the lead with the rest of his content.

    If I were forced to choose which of those transcripts my kids saw it wouldn’t be close to which one I’d choose.

    She's a real "lady". If you can still call a gutter mouth like her a lady.

    Aaaaaand Carpro out of left field. Now we’ve come full circle “whataboutism”. I’m sure the guy in the thread that tried to pull that on me will be here shortly to police this.

    I heard much worse in the navy. The men talking were not capable of the things they were saying.

    Donald Trump was secretly recorded. We do not know what was said before or after by anyone. It’s not the same thing.

    I could have said the same thing. Except some guys apparently were capable. You don’t know until it happens.

    Really man. I can’t picture context that would spawn that kind of commentary in a positive light.
