Let's talk about sex

For 4 years a man who ADMITTED he grabbed women by the p-*%y was given a pass—he left office with 43 accusers documented in a book. His porn wife’s scandalous photos were criteria for being banned by Facebook. There were crickets from the media.

He was a Republican man.

I awake this morning to “news” that a 6th accuser has come forward against a Democratic Governor. There’s a daily media drumbeat.

Rhetorical question:
How is one ignored almost completely and the other notsomuch?

in fact, they sometimes endorse it as boys being boys or men being men.

Democratic voters, on the other hand, care deeply about it so it has an effect on the way they vote and support candidates.

if he doesn't get the immigration issue under control.

Clearly the media is very unhappy when a Democrat doesn't solve everything in a month, whereas republican presidents only have to create daily drama.

Liberal media, my ass!

I would argue that they are unhappy when a Democrat is in power, period.
