Because everything about these disgusting shitbags wasn't bad enough? I cannot believe we can't rid ourselves of this filth. Have we no pride left as a culture? All gone?

When I was growing up, we still had some sense of collective outrage that could still shame people this disgusting and keep them from infecting the entire culture. But our media MUST monetize them because their greed matters more than our pride. We are so not worthy.
If you think our problem is Donald Trump, or even Republicans, there's a whole forest around those few trees that you're not seeing. America is infected with a virus; the counter-evolutionary virus. It's taking us backwards. And faster every day.
So long as an entire branch of society—with its own economy— works for the publishers and their many venues, our nature will be described by them, their values, and their rules. Our conspicuous consumerism has become a new form of slavery. And the slavers know it.
