He should discourage people from threatening you, but, as far as I know, he isn't participating in a campaign against you other than having lied about assaulting you.
I believe you, Ms. Reade, and I believe the women who accused President Trump of misconduct. I have said that I won't stand in the way of anyone who attempts to prosecute President Trump for those crimes. I have said that for years, even while having online discussions with President Trump about other issues.
There is that phrase, "Being grandfathered." It means that when higher standards are implemented for a profession, those who have made their careers in those professions before those standards were implemented are able to continue their careers. These men are grandfathers. They're not the nicest or most honest grandfathers around. Hopefully, politics will change so that more nice, honest people will want to be part of the process more substantially than deciding whom to vote for. Being an elected official shouldn't be a prize for the corrupt or a chore for the idealistic.
President Trump has kept most of the entertainment industry out of the White House. I don't know if you realize even know the scope of that industry's corruption and duplicity. He has argued with the media, which is not quite as stupid as the entertainment industry, but whose majority of powerful outlets have known about and participated in promoting and often perpetrating sexual crime since 2010. This was important. Although he hasn't confronted the sexual crime promoted by the conglomerate, which he should have done, he has not had a sycophantic relationship to the media.
I am a Democrat, so I support the policies of Democrats more frequently than the policies of Republicans. I was very depressed in 2016 when I thought that Secretary Clinton was going to win, because I knew that the entertainment industry would use its affiliation with her to be even more destructive and less concerned with consequences than it already had been. I did not campaign for then-candidate Donald Trump in any way.
It didn't occur to me that President Trump might win; you don't know what the first thing was that I wrote about him after he won, since you hadn't heard of me. It was "I hope you'll let me keep Section 8." He thought that was funny, which I had meant for him to think. I'd rather be funny when I'm trying to be, rather than a perpetual joke as the helpless, because impoverished, victim of a cackling, self-satisfied, hyperprivileged, hypocritical mob, which is what I have been since 2010. I have said, since 2010, that what ignorant and/or evil people think of me has no value for me. The issue is when they can prevent me from living my life, which they have done, mirthfully and without remorse.
There have been checks on President Trump's executive power, checks which were enforced since the hour of his election. He has also been scrutinized, ridiculed, even stymied when he moved toward reconciliation with people who have opposing opinions. While I appreciate our country's system of checks and balances, I have always thought that the noninformational commentary about President Trump is a waste of time that lowers everyone and makes the United States unnecessarily and dangerously vulnerable. President Obama did not ever confront the M&E industry or take major action to stop its abuses. He was sanctified and President Trump has been demonized.
I almost stopped saying that Senator Sanders should be the nominee, almost prioritized the protection of Israel over your allegations against Vice President Biden. I am glad that I didn't, nor do I agree with any form of human rights abuse. However, it is impossible to understand how Israel has been under attack by so many people in the United States while the Assad regime and the imperative of removing that regime from power go unmentioned.
