Did you also demand that all the kids who went on Jim'll Fix It give back the value of whatever the show did for them?

You are the democratic version of a member of the tea party. So what if Trump was elected? He's still being sued for sexual harassment, which is exactly where Weinstein is right now. They're both despicable human beings. What I am doing is not allowing the right wing noise machine to drag my attention off the fact that Trump is a self-confessed sexual harasser, both on the infamous Access Hollywood tape, but also in radio interviews. He has bragged about going backstage at his beauty pageants, including the teenaged version, where he can walk around while the girls are naked. He further bragged that men are not allowed back there but he can do it because he owns the pageant. You can scream all you like about 250 grand legally spent on Hilary's unsuccessful Presidential campaign; I'll keep focused on the far more important and disgusting crimes committed by Weinstein and the sitting President.

Just because people don't fall for your "hey, look over there" defense doesn't make us myopic. It makes us focused on the true issues at hand - i.e. oversight of the people actually in power, not those who lost an election (about a year ago now).

I genuinely think you have a screw loose on Trump. The Trump tape is no proof of harassment. If Trump has broken laws then that's what the legal system is there for.....You know I read people like you and then I look at what actually happens. You and the other fruitcakes are just the democratic tea party. Your language and inability to be objective is why people can't take you seriously. The law will deal with the Weinsteins and the Trumps and the Clintons of this world....that's all we can do. I have little doubt that their money and influence presents a different form of justice for them than the common person in the street experiences....but what else can fairly be done?...I don't ask you that question seriously though as you aren't objective.
