19. We are truly living in Bizarro World
Mon May 4, 2020, 11:37 AM
May 2020

If 20 or 30 more women come forward with their stories about Trump, it would cause barely a blip or a passing mention in the press. It is truly unbelievable what has been normalized in the Trump era. In fact, we've gotten to the point where every insult, every tweet, and every pussy-grab can be written off as "Trump being Trump."

It's not unique to Trump either, although he is the most egregious example. I've never understood why John Edwards became a pariah while Newt Gingrich, who pretty much did the same thing that Edwards did, is still taken seriously and still makes the talking-head rounds on cable news. And of course, the Clenis still provokes the right-wing to this day.

I still can't figure out what it is about Trump that causes them to defend him. Trump literally has NO redeeming qualities. He is repulsive, stupid, narcissistic and butt-ugly. He can't put together a coherent sentence. He knows nothing about ANY issue.

Any Democrat who did one-millionth of what Trump has done would be run out of town on a rail.
