Defies Reason

I feel like a fell through the looking glass. The Republican candidate for president is easily facing the most significant challenges of any candidate in our country's history yet it barely gets a mention.

Trump will go on trial in November accused of racketeering (Trump "University&quot .

Trump starts another trail in December accused of raping a child.

Trump could be characterized as a self-admitted sexual predator with decades of comments on video and audio of him objectifying and more importantly, him describing his own actions as a sexual predator in deeds and words. In testament to these words is the fact that he stands accused of sexual assault by 12+ women that relate stories that seem to match perfectly to each other's experiences and with Trump's own comments on how he treats women and young girls. Let's not forget Trump's own comments regarding his conduct at beauty pageants and those of young women that recount incidents of him walking in on naked children.

Trump appears to have officially refused to release his tax returns before the election.

There are several public stories of evidence that Trump is using his non-profit, tax exempt, foundation's money to pay past legal fees and to purchase giant pictures of himself.

What are we all talking about?
Emails that likely have nothing to do with Clinton or that do nothing to change the current state of affairs on this issue.

What are we not talking about?
The assault on unarmed Native Americans peacefully protesting in North Dakota trying to protect their own land from a corporate and government land grab while at the same time white men go free for an armed occupation of land they didn't own.

Or, perhaps not Alice in Wonderland. It's more like a Philip K. Dick dystopian nightmare.
