And exactly what they want. Using 'palace intrigue' and gossip to draw attention all while elevating a total piece of human waste into the national conversation. Guess we didn't learn a fucking thing from 2017-2021.

Let's face it. No new scandal is worse than anything we have already heard. Mud don't get any dirtier.

Can you tune it out? Consider the effect of the time and energy you are spending. Is it making a difference?

Goes for everyone.
