How were they not only able to say these horrible things about women without consequence, but to then continue being praised and increasingly treated as if they are integral to American politics and crusaders for human rights? I didn't even know about this; I didn't know they had said it.  How did I not know?  It happened months ago; I didn't know because it wasn't the story that the media wanted to turn into an epic legend about what horrible men they are.   Who the hell is Alec Baldwin?  He's someone who hates Donald Trump; does that give him a blank check t...
