    Harvey Weinstein will hopefully get a reckoning. Les Moonves has been forced to step down as was Bill O'Reilly but they still keep their money. However this is just the tip of the iceberg.

    Padma Lakshmi has written an op-Ed in today's NY Times about being date-raped at age 16 and how she kept quiet about it for decades due to the trauma. Dr. Ford's behavior is not that unusual.

    His worst fear just came true. WH staffers already leaking that he is mad as hell. Furious tweetstrom about the 'failed UN' incoming.

    From the WaPo article -

    He has always been obsessed that people are laughing at the president. From the mid-’80s, he’s said: ‘The world is laughing at us. They think we’re fools,’ ” said Thomas Wright, a Europe analyst at the Brookings Institution. “It’s never been true, but he’s said it about every president. It’s the first time I’m aware of that people actually laughed at a president. I think it is going to drive him absolutely crazy. It will play to every insecurity he has.”

    @Gauri03,

    Syria - He has already declared ISIS was defeated and he can't bomb Assad Regime as Russia will be antagonized

    Iran - Europe and Russia are behind the nuclear disarmament and hence couldn't go against

    North Korea - His administration is negotiating further for peace with Kim and hence nothing further can be done

    Mexico - The Trade Treaty is behind us

    Canada - The Trade Treaty is declared as not feasible

    China - He is already on a Trade war with China and nothing more can be done

    Mexican Families - Separation is not possible as a California Judge has ordered reunification of families

    Pakistan - He has already stopped aid to this nation

    The only option is for him to stop funding to the United Nations.
