Women do not see it that way, and that could matter this fall.

    No real man believes that. Real men see him for the scumbag he is and know that he has no respect for anyone.

        I’m still (i can’t even find the word to express the emotion) from reading about the stuff for sale at his rallies that says “joe and the ho need to go.”

          You have to appreciate the irony given the fact that Donald Trump has made a habit of having sexual relationships with sex workers, so much so that he married Melania who was an escort.

          I’m not knocking sex workers. That is a perfectly valid way to make money in my opinion. I just think it’s a little bit of the pot calling the kettle black. Then again, that is par for the course with the MAGA crowd.

      I’m not really a fan of this poll

      The wording is kind of wonky, a lot/some/not much/not at all leaves a lot to be desired for me.

      “Some” is kind of ambiguous. I’d like to believe that most people would read it as it’s intended from the context, but I’m certain that some idiots probably interpreted it as something like “he has respect for some women” and not as “he has some respect for women in general”

      “Some” also just feels like it leaves too much open to interpretation as to “how much is some.” Personally, in a lot of other contexts I’d tend to read “some” as pretty much synonymous “not much” and while in this poll those responses are right next to each other, they are still supposed to be distinct from each other. This should probably have been a “‘On a scale of 1-4, how much do you think trump respects women?’ With 0 being ‘not at all’ and 4 being ‘a lot’” type question

      There’s also the matter of what is meant by “respect.” Does he respect them as equals? Does he respect their rights? Their opinions? Does he respect them because they’re able to bear children? Does he respect their physical beauty?

      It’s hard to get truly representative sample sizes of the voting population because it’s such a large and diverse group, and 875 respondents doesn’t really inspire a whole lot of confidence in me about this poll’s accuracy when there’s well over 100,000,000 registered voters, especially without any other demographic info about who responded.

      Just my 2¢ on the matter anyway

    Paywall, but This isn’t even a opinion piece. They’re pretending it’s actual journalism.

    NYT, you just can’t stop can you.

    Must. Somehow. Normalize. Trump.

      “We demand a horse race!”

      Someday in the future, when they’re writing about the downfall of the US, I hope they point out how unrestrained capitalism’s lust for perpetual growth sacrificed journalism for engagement and that so many Americans were deceived about what the truth was, because it was profitable to do so.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Trump, a man known for bragging about grabbing women’s private parts — and on trial in connection with the cover-up of a sex scandal involving a porn star — has long symbolized a kind of machismo that to many people reads as misogyny.

    But that disparity is important to understand in an election that already seems primed to turn on the question of just how big the gender gap between Trump, who draws more support from men, and President Biden, who leads among women, is going to be.

    “The best explanation for that is, men are from Mars, women are from Venus,” Ayres said, adding that the best way for Trump to improve his standing in the eyes of female voters was simply to “change the subject.”

    She is intrigued by the environmental activism of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the independent presidential candidate, but says she plans to vote for Biden in November because she sees that as the best way to stop Trump.

    AL: In a legal sense, it asks the court to decide an untested question of whether a former president can be prosecuted for official conduct, which the special counsel Jack Smith argues is possible.

    AL: If Smith gets a complicated win, one that sends it back to the lower courts to do more work, draw more distinctions, perhaps even be subject to further appeals, the practical question of whether this trial can get done before the election evaporates.

    The original article contains 1,501 words, the summary contains 242 words. Saved 84%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      I’m going to assume the summary cut out a bunch of relevant words, cause this sounds like total bullshit.
