Thank you! You have nailed it completely!

Well said, Mr. Nellis. Fawn all over trumpet and you can get away with anything!

Moreno’s excuse that his daughter asked him not to speak because she was afraid of her ex? Talk about hiding behind a “woman’s skirts”—maybe the only thing MAGA men find abhorrent.

nah, MAGA supporters don't care about that either - Ted Cruz got away with blaming it on his wife and children when he ran to Cancun to get away from that icy winter storm.

Absolutely true. Trump brought the country's entire "swamp" to Washington to add to that which was already there. There needs to be a "cleansing" of this government that has never been seen before. These scumbags need to fear what's coming for them. We have young people growing up in this country who have never known a time without Trump, MAGA, and a Republican totally without regard for decency and the rule of law. It's "them or us" for the future of this country.

Trump just replaced the "swamp" with the "black lagoon". Rife with the creatures that populate it. Miscreants and sycophants that have blind fealty to a narcissistic, incompetent conman. None of whom has a backbone or the foresight to understand that their shelf life is as long as Trump's attention span.

Todd (makes me blanche) wants to take abortion off the table for every woman in every state. How soon can he be disbarred?

Thank you, Mike! What kind of coward hurts a child? Or throws hot water on his wife? What kind of political organization has members who will openly say that they don't believe women should be able to vote? In a short few months, I've watched too many feel comfortable with expressing rampant bigotry, misogyny, and endorsement of violent behavior. The rest of us need to be speaking out in opposition to this.

Hence the reason any GOP won't do a thing for the people they represent. Everyone of them is a coward

Wow. Thank you. Thank you for this powerful piece that speaks truth to power. As you wrote: "If you can read the allegations — a little girl’s collarbone broken, a toddler telling people that daddy’s house is scary — and you don’t feel something turn over deep in your gut, then you are never going to do the right thing on anything."

You could just say misogynists and rapists. That’s his type, because it’s him too.

I want to know how we learned to tolerate it so quickly. Ten years is not long enough to make us so totally numb to this crap. How did we get here? And more importantly, how did they talk women into thinking this sort of behavior is normal and perfectly fine? How did all of this happen? I am bewildered and disgusted and in a state of shock. And the bad thing is, is I don't think we have hit the lowest point yet.

100% Mike. Republicans are the party of pedophiles and abusers of women. Watching that vile, disgusting pig going around on TV networks is sickening and he most definitely not helping himself.

Yes, the Trump/Republican Administration will not condemn abuse of women but they go much further - this is Project 2025: we want them barefoot and pregnant -not competing for manly men jobs or any jobs for that matter. No competition in sports either. They should stay home and have babies. This is anti-feminism at the core of the Trump Administration, and it doesn't condemn spousal abuse because, after all, it was only a woman that got beaten

Well said Mr. Nellis! And all so true. Thank you.

Trumpublicans hate women
