Ooh boy. Harvey Weinstein seems to be what set off this current barrage


of revelations. I don't believe he has admitted to any wrongdoing, much as you say about Trump. And he is gone, kaput, career over, probably about to be investigated by the cops.

Multiple women have stepped forward to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct, although I don't think as bad as the Weinstein accusations. But enough to be considered assault. Louis CK has basically admitted to creepy behavior, for which he asked permission. And he's apparently toast. Nobody seems to be saying he laid a hand on anyone.

Most importantly, when talking about anybody named Clinton, many people, and Trump supporters in particular, never needed charges, let alone convictions, to declare them guilty.

I'm not defending anything Weinstein, the Clintons, or Louis CK did, but the double standard used by Trumpies when it comes to tolerating Trump vs others is off the charts. I mean, I don't see how you can say otherwise with a straight face.

Aside - latest immigration news I saw was pressure from Trump, most recently through Kelly, to get the INS to revoke legal status of certain immigrants, some who have been here for decades, due to crises in their home countries. Apparently the INS has largely refused and delayed a decision for 6 months. It ain't just illegal immigration that the Trump admin goes after.
