Hope is the denial of reality
Hah, DUP - 2.
Congratulations America
News update on my borough;
One of the four candidates, Stuart Wells (The Brexit Party) lost his £500 deposit after failing to win 5% of the vote.
Sexual appeal is just like any other physical attribute. "My kid has a PhD." and "My kid has fantastic looks." are just bragging. For Trump it is all just ego, their appearances/accomplishments are things he wants to take credit for.
Meanwhile you got gems like this...

The Groper-in-Chief who said to "grab 'em by the pussy" and who has collected numerous accusations of sexual harassment, assault, and rape? Yeah, I don't think claims of sexual misconduct about Biden are going to matter much except as confirmation bias for people who were totally committed to Trump in the first place.

Another hero for Lewk.

From a solely tactical rather than moral point of view... it's not like the right hasn't had a ton of success with accusing their left wing opponents of the very thing they are themselves doing at that very moment. See: attacks on Corbyn for anti-semitism from a party lead by a guy who uses phrases like 'water melon smiles' about black people in national newspapers, or the whole But Her E-mails thing when so many members of the Trump administration have misused their own e-mail systems in the same way etc etc.
Plus, the right doesn't actually give a shit about women being sexually assaulted unless they can use it as an excuse to vilify some other group they already hate, so that line of attack on Biden would be more effective than the reverse on Trump.

The difference would be age. There isn't anything wrong with a mother telling their adult son they are handsome or a father calling their adult daughter beautiful. While spending overlong on the subject isn't ideal the point isn't that Trump wants to bang his daughter its that he takes pride in how hot she is. Biden on the other hand isn't complimenting the kids when he lays his hands on them.
Of course there isn't anything wrong with telling your son or daughter that they are handsome or beautiful. But that's not what we are talking about, we are talking about going around telling OTHER people that your son or daughter is handsome or beautiful, for reasons other than playing match maker.
This is not how consent works you creepy fuck. This is how sexual assault works. The key part of that quote is Trump admitting he doesn't wait for consent, and several of his victims have confirmed that that is how he operates.

You know what your defense of this behavior makes you look like?After they kissed, the host commented: “It’s nice to see a dad kiss his daughter.”
According to several studio witnesses, Mr Trump replied that he kisses Ivanka “with every chance [he] gets”. The comment was apparently edited out of the final cut of the show when it went to air.
Well, I suppose it makes you look like a model white Evangelical, now that I think about it. The natural constituency for the Roy Moores of the world.

I don't generally like +1s or the use of a like (or dislike) system. But I can't "thumbs up" hard enough for this. And even disregarding Lewk's total denial about what consent means, how exactly does he square "well, they didn't object to it after he was done groping them. Or at least not loudly enough for me to listen" as his standard with having a problem regarding Biden who hasn't crossed that line either? And then of course there's Roy Moore who went rather farther than Biden even in what he actually admitted to but Lewk kept saying "now hold on a minute, let's not be hasty" there. Totally fucking delusional.

"They let you" implies consent. Holy shit do you ask for consent every time you kiss your GF/BF/Wife/Husband? No of course not. If there is an understood arrangement the consent is clear.
And all that for a statement that was probably Trump talking out of his ass stroking his own ego.

Didn't think Lewk would become an apologist for sexual assault or perving on one's own kids, but here we are.
Hope is the denial of reality
Did you not? You could get a modern-day US conservative to argue for napalming orphanages and deliberately releasing crude oil directly into the drinking water of major cities if they thought it would somehow 'trigger the libs'. They've lost any kind of coherent ideological framework, nothing left there now but petty spite and greed.

He disagrees with you politically because he recognizes your political views as being stupid and immoral, much like yourself. I don't see how this can be so difficult for you to understand.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I don't see how it is difficult for either of you to understand.
"I disagree with you politically because you are stupid and immoral."
This statement is indicating his political views are being formed based around me being stupid and immoral. Do you really think Steely has not yet formed political opinions prior to interacting with me? Do you think he would vote Libertarian in American if he did not find me stupid and immoral? Seems rather unlikely. Hell maybe the world does revolve around me and people base their opinions based on my views but that seems rather silly.
The creepiest part is that he simultaneously thinks it's okay for predators to claim consent for assault was given after the fact—because "they let him do it"—and also that it's okay to call women lying bitches for saying, after the fact, that they did not consent to being assaulted—because, after all, "they let him do it". Consent only works one way, in one party's favor, in that sick community.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
No, it's pretty clear he's saying that the reason he disagrees with your views is that your views are too stupid and immoral for him to agree with, and it is implied that you hold those views because you are stupid and immoral. The fact that you don't understand this—and your clumsy attempts to apply a cargo-cult understanding of logic to informal communication—only bolsters his claim wrt stupidity.
