Maybe I should post this in the comically hypocritical section?

Trump to sign sex assault bill as scandal engulfs White House

President Donald Trump will sign a measure on Wednesday aimed at preventing the kind of systemic sexual abuse perpetrated by Olympic gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, who was recently sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison. More than 150 women and girls said in court that he sexually abused them over the past two decades, including gold medalist Aly Raisman.

Sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, the legislation will create an organization within the US Olympic Committee that would be responsible for receiving and handling inquiries and reports about abuse and making sure that allegations are promptly reported to law enforcement when necessary or resolved internally.​
 

OK that's two good things he's done this year. The first was not screwing up the SOTU. Somehow I think my list of scandals overshadows that.
 

While I love the bill that our lawmakers put together, which has actually been sorely needed for years (Larry Nassar just brought the need to the forefront due to the high profile and sheer numbers of ladies involved), there will be something extremely ironic about Mr. Due Process, He "Strongly" Denied It, signing that thing and smirking at the ignorance of people while doing it. Scratch that. It won't be ironic. To the people whose brains are fully formed and working, it will be offensive.
 
Hmm...15 women with unproven allegations vs 150 women plus video footage....yeah the two are really comparable. :roll: Oh wait, I'm supposed to blindly believe what people say. NVM! DOWN WITH TRUMP! HYPOCRITE! RACIST! MISOGYNIST! XENOPHOBE! GENDERPHOBE! MENTALLY ILL! EGOMANICAL!

And whatever else he supposedly is. :roll :
