I'm not too familiar with american c-type celebrity politicians, but can we please stop giving this soap opera shit any more platform as it may as well be purposely disguising all the real and important issues in the USA?
Sadly, this kind of trash is far more important to the average person than the things that matter (and this is hardly just an American phenomenon). It's mainly because the things that actually matter are much more complicated, and require effort to understand - whereas this kind of crap lends itself to quickly picking sides, and boosting one's ego momentarily by providing someone else to look down upon that your entire social circle is likely to agree with. The unfortunate reality is the majority of people just don't have it within them to deal with what really matters & prefer the distraction of mundane cat-fights to avoid having to face that fact.
A lot of the rights they try to remove from us are hypocritically being followed by their behavior.
Which I suspect is why odd things are being pointed out.
It's odd to make it a legal issue. Thus odd things are raised to the surface.
