Another woman has come forward to accuse our President of sexual harassment, no little thing when you call out the most powerful bully on the planet. Trump, no great legal mind, offered up his best defense: he wouldn\u2019t jump someone who looked like her. And besides, he never laid eyes on her, much less hands or lips. <\/p>\n
Plenty good enough for half of the voters, I\u2019m betting. They already cast a verdict even after 16 or so other women had accused the playboy king of the same impropriety. The same folks, I\u2019m betting, who wanted Clinton impeached for his infidelities. What\u2019s good for the goose apparently doesn\u2019t apply to the gander. One guy is a predator, the other, well, just the perks of a billionaire thug. No, I don\u2019t get it either\u2026.<\/p>\n
Obviously a lot of guys think the #MeToo Movement is about them, just a green light for the usual. Kavanaugh was confirmed, justice served like the same warm dish Anita Hill received. Nothing much changed other than louder outrage. Boys will be boys and rapists get away with murder. Trump defends himself by calling his victim ugly. Yeah, something\u2019s ugly all right. <\/p>\n
I\u2019d like to think we\u2019re becoming a better, kinder, more sensitive society, I really would. I\u2019d like to think we learn from our lessons, that we can empathize with the victims of injustice, that our folks who claim to be religious might actually be religious. I\u2019d like to believe we\u2019d elect a President we could admire, who would be a role model for all us citizens, maybe show is a Better Light, a more enlightened Path. <\/p>\n
Course, I\u2019d like to believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy too, but they haven\u2019t come visiting since I was a kid. Too ugly for me anyway. Plus I never met them before, how would they know if I was naughty or nice?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
