Donald Trump Jr. implies that ladies who can’t handle sexual harassment ‘don’t belong in the workforce’
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is embroiled in a number of accusations and scandals involving his treatment of women after a 2005 tape surfaced where he alleges he can grab women by the p*ssy because he’s a celebrity. It seems, however, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. In a 2013 interview, Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., implied that women
According to a finding from BuzzFeed, Jr. did an interview with The Opie and Anthony Show, previously on SiriusXM. While discussing whether women should be allowed to join an exclusive all-male golf club, Jr. advocated for exclusivity.
“If you have a guys’ place you have a guys’ place,” Jr. said, going on to describe himself as a “guy’s guy.”
One of the hosts claimed that when places like that exist, women “complain, ‘it’s harassment’ — that’s why we hate having them around. They stop us from doing what we want to do.”
“I’m of that mindset — and I’ll get into trouble, I’m sure I’ll get myself in trouble one of these days,” Jr. began, “if you can’t handle some of the basic stuff that’s become a problem in the workforce today, then you don’t belong in the workforce. Like, you should go maybe teach kindergarten. I think it’s a respectable position.”
That wasn’t all. He continued, “You can’t be negotiating billion-dollar deals if you can’t handle, like, you know,” not expanding on what “you know” meant. “But listen — there’s a place where you have to draw the line — but today the stuff you get in trouble for.”
The hosts then joked that they were pulling up naked photos of women in the studio, commenting, “Wouldn’t it be funny if we showed tits and then Donald sued?”
“I’d feel harassed!” Jr. mocked. “This is my get rich quick scheme. I’m now suing you guys because I feel uncomfortable.” He continued saying, “And by the way, that’s what happens in the world. I can play along, I can be fine, and then I can decide randomly — ‘uh oh, you now have crossed the line, even though I’ve been going with it.’”

When Robert Mueller completed his long-awaited investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, he left many questions unanswered.
But one conclusion was unequivocal: Russia unleashed an extensive campaign of fake news and disinformation on social media with the aim of distorting U.S. public opinion, sowing discord and swinging the election in favor of the Republican candidate Donald Trump.
The Democratic presidential candidate uses his eighth policy announcement to focus on an area that he prioritized in Congress.
Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke on Monday morning released a plan to improve the lives of veterans, returning to an area of priority during his time in the U.S. House for his latest 2020 policy rollout.
In keeping with measures he supported in Congress, the plan calls for a "responsible end" to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — reinvesting $1 out of every $2 saved in veterans programs — and the creation of a Veterans Health Care Trust Fund for each future war. The fund would be paid for by a "war tax" on households without service members or veterans.

Conservative Ben Shapiro tweeted something many found offensive — so now he’s calling his critics ‘garbage’
Right wing "thought leader" Ben Shapiro appeared today to say not using the "N" word is nearly impossible as he defended conservative, pro-gun teen Kyle Kashuv, one of the Parkland survivors who just had his acceptance to Harvard rescinded over his racist remarks, which included repeated use of the "N" word.
To be clear, Shapiro denies that's what he meant.
Here is Shapiro on Twitter, in what many took as him appearing to call not using the "N" word – in Kashuv's case, repeatedly, over and over and over again, "an insane, cruel standard no one can possibly meet."
