trump*'s treatment of the female reporters, today, is reprehensible and beyond the pale

Reprehensible, disrespectful, disgusting, infuriating - need I go on??? Especially in light of what's going on with the FBI background check on Kavanaugh's behavior.

I was doing pretty good, today, until I watched those film clips. Now I'm in the mood to throw some medieval strength punches.

It would be nice to see some MASSIVE push back - maybe boycotting his next appearance. Ok, I know it will never happen, but one can dream. Makes a nice change from the continuing nightmare.

Maybe they were in shock, or didn't quite catch what he said but by allowing his 'asshole' behavior, they are also enabling his 'asshole' behavior. IMHO, of course.
