Meh. Just stopped in to say that CBS executive was horrible and wrong and, unlike a lot of Fox Newsies with their racist, sexist and homophobic statements, she was immediately terminated without any "time to review the situation" bullcrap. Progressive or Conservative, it doesn't matter. Bad behavior like that by anyone should be immediately and honestly met. How long did it take to fire Bolin, O'Reilly and Ailes? YEARS of abuse.
Also, the Weinstein thing is troubling. While a movie company, bearing his own name, isn't the same thing as a news org, it's shameful that it took so long to call him out on his sexual harassment. EVERYONE KNEW! That's being complicit and that shouldn't be happening in 2017. Even worse, he blamed the permissive atmosphere for his actions. What a friggin' baby.
I just wonder when the adult child we know as Commander in Chief will have to answer for his own constantly bad behavior. There's nothing the least bit humorous about it anymore, if it ever really was. The things we do in this world, good or bad, don't always come back to us. Recognizing that is what makes us adults, but it sure does feel good when it actually happens. I've said this before and I'll say it again. Trump is doing more damage to the Republican party than Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Shumer and Nancy Pelosi combined. Gawd, that would make one frightening creature!
President Pence is something I want even less than Donny because he'd have a much easier time oppressing my civil rights with the Republican congress. Trump just can't manage to get out of his own way. However, his irresponsible statements and behavior almost have me dreaming for President Pence due to all of our country's safety. These are frightening times. And this comes from someone who voted in two separate elections for two different Bush candidates back in the day. Not post 9/11, of course. I'm no moron. You know the saying, "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.” Had to bring up that chestnut.
Egads, I didn't expect to open that can of worms, but it's been such a toxic several weeks in the news. Also, I've come down on a lot of Republicans that when Weinstein and that CBS executive behaved so abominably, I couldn't be silent. Forgive my pop by.
