Trump seems to get away with grift, corruption, maybe rape of a minor (think about the inability to access all of the video from the FBI Epstein Files), perhaps even murder (one might wonder about his first wife, Ivana, suddenly falling down a set of stairs in her apartment days before she was to testify against Trump), because he has surrounded himself with willing enablers people from the Republican dominated Supreme Court, to the puppets posing as Republican politicians, the billionaire bros who base their morality and humanity on how much wealth they can accumulate, to the media insurrectionists at FOX. We know this, we witness this, and for many of us, we are pissed that THIS is even a thing.
However, at least for me, one of the most disgusting and self-serving enablers of Trump’s constant scam of the American people, and his profitable distribution of snake oil, comes from a group of people who, once again, as I see it, were supposed to be a part of the checks and balances of our Democracy…CORRESPONDENTS!
We recently witnessed the White House Correspondents' Dinner, something I would usually not give a shit about, but this one was months after the original, where supposedly an assassination attempt had been planned against Trump. (And remember this, please: this so-called assassination was a hue and cry for why Trump needed his ballroom to keep himself safe and sound.) And once again, as Trump tried at the original dinner, he insulted and harassed the correspondents in attendance. (This time, as an aside, suddenly there was a plethora of Secret Service agents in attendance…I suppose you can only plan an assassination one time only).
Trump lied, as he only knows how to do; Trump demanded and insulted as he only knows how to; Trump pontificated about “FAKE NEWS,” as he always does, and YET, AND YET, knowing that lies and fabrication is all Trump is capable of, these CORRESPONDENTS still invited Trump, and sat there almost as willing idiots as Trump ranted and raved!
Why I give a shit about this IS the fact that once the JOURNALISTS/REPORTERS/ and CORRESPONDENTS provide access to a 34-count felon, a man found guilty of rape, a man found guilty of fraud, as if none of that matters, IS just one more example of normalizing a most abhorrent and criminal President. Is there nothing or no one that will finally say “SHUT THE FUCK UP!”
