What The Literal Eff?

There's so much going on in the world today it's hard to imagine that I don't have some topic that I want to talk about. Between candidate 45's trip to Asia, his ridiculous tweets, his unwillingness to believe our intelligence agencies on Russia's attempt to influence our election and that he believes Putin when he says they didn't. It seems to me like just more evidence that something stinks in Washington and Moscow. Not to mention the Mueller investigation seems to be picking up.

Then there are all these accusations of sexual misconduct throughout Hollywood and among our other institutions from which the powerful, rich and famous tend to cluster. Funny thing is, a single person can come forward and claim they were in some way sexually mistreated by an actor and that actor's career suddenly goes into a spiraling nose dive. But when candidate 45 was running for president 12 women came forward and there was the release of the infamous access Hollywood tape, where he admitted to treating women this way and said things I've never heard in a typical locker room, but no one came after him and it was all brushed off as locker room talk.

What the literal fuck is going on here? Is candidate 45 oozing some kind of pheromones that make 50% plus of the country swoon in his wonderfulness? Am I just immune to whatever it is he's spewing because of some kind of mental deficiency on my part? Are all of the people who voted for him still feeling that they elected the right guy? And how is it that we are all so disgusted with these actors and directors but we seem to have no contempt for candidate 45?

I'm not even getting into the weeds of how corrupt this administration seems to be to me, for the simple reason that I just can't stomach it. I'm sticking to the peripheral obvious stuff that would have been the end to any other candidacy prior.

And what of our conservative wing of government? The Mitch McConnells and Paul Ryans and the Lindsey Grahams and all their ilk. Are they so swollen with joy over finally being the party in charge that they would rather ignore the obvious blunders of candidate 45 than to call him out on them? I'm really only seeing the Maverick John McCain stay true to his conservative nature and hold the man to a higher standard as we all should.

I'm just plain stupefied at all of it and it's hard to write about... so that's why I haven't just jumped into it and written a blog post about it. Oh wait... I guess I sorta just did. Okay, so.. new blog post. Yeah!

What are all of your thoughts on the matter? I'd love to hear from you.
