‘I Was a Child.’ Woman Says George H.W. Bush [Republican] Groped Her When She Was 16
But yea, let's keep talking about Biden's kid...
MTG: "Okay! Have you seen that dong?! No? Here's a print out I carry around"
Oooh I would love a link to the Dom story if you have a good one
I recall writing a blog back in 2006 or so that had a link about the deaths...
She ran for office back then, then... poof.
Nevada. 2006. Vegas, I believe...
Neil was a patron of Thai hookers, contracted herpes (and probably other STDs), then gave it to his wife. Classy.
Yep. Yet the BiDeNs...
Odd how the monied think that can do anything and never get in trouble for it. Maybe all the versions of the song ‘Eat The Rich’ are a warning ⛔️
I hear they're delicious. Also, if everyone were to eat at least one rich person we would fix wealth inequality and the climate crisis in a glorious, unprecedented twofer!
Usually I take allegations like this seriously, the MeToo movement exposed a lot of this behavior I just find it hard to believe that you waited decades then years after he’s dead and buried to say something
It’s decently common especially if the person is in a position of power
He wasn’t president at the time and if he was she wasn’t working for him I understand completely what you mean
Look what they did to Anita Hill, do you blame her for not wanting to attract that kind of attention?
Yeah plus putting yourself in the spot light is really hard especially if your going against a public figure
You’re right. People who used to be presidents never ever have power after they leave. They lose all their influence too.
The family that had two US presidents in it and members in the White House for 20% of the US’s history has zero influence.
“He wasn’t president at the time”
L o fucking L
“I just find it hard to believe that you waited decades then years after he’s dead and buried to say something”
I was raped and the first time I told anyone was 45 years afterwards. Why? Because my rapist promised to kill my family if I talked. I became so used to not ever talking about it, it was like I was programmed. 45 years later I realized I was still following my rapists instructions and I started discussing it with my wife. I suspect the threat of violence keeps a lot of people quiet about a lot of things.
It’s difficult enough to speak up when a random nobody gropes you especially as a teenager. It’s much more difficult to speak up about a former president. And even now when the cultural discussion around consent and bodily autonomy have evolved people still dismiss this as “innocent old grandpa” behavior.
The dude was head of the CIA and likely involved in the assassination of a US president. Ain't no way in hell I'd come out for fear of my own safety til he was deep in the cold cold ground either if I was the one he assaulted.
Exactly
Now we bringing conspiracy theories in the mix
That’s often the safest time to come forward because you don’t have to deal with the backlash of your perpetrator
This article was published in 2017 in the midst of Me Too and several other woman reporting that they had been groped by Bush Sr as well. He was still alive at that time.
I absolutely believe her and the other people who said that he did that. And I understand why they didn’t speak out immediately.
The picture itself was snapped exactly at the moment he allegedly squeezed her butt, according to her, and she says the image itself is "proof" because of her "surprised look". I had to re-read that, and scroll back up to the image several times over. But I just don't see it...

Trolling, strawman and whataboutism comments disrupt healthy discussion.
The 'Turn' actress Heather Lind, when she met GHWBush at some event, was standing next to him for a photo while he was in a wheelchair. He made a joke, the punchline being "...David Cop-a-feel!" as he grabbed her ass.
Party of pure scum. Family of degenerates.

Neil Bush was busted for prostitution, as well as destroying Silverado Savings and Loan.
W. Bush was involved with a Vegas female Dom who wound up hanged after she gave an affidavit about setting up play dates while traveling for his fathers campaign with him, other men, and a black woman who wound up dead as well...
