Joker at large
Living in LA one of the things I love are the giant movie billboards all over the city. This one scares me because it is a reminder of the orange villain in the Whitehouse. You just can't make this stuff up.
Donald Trump was talking to Billy Bush, then a host of the celebrity-news program “Access Hollywood.” It was hardly a private moment. They were wearing microphones and surrounded by a camera crew. Before their interview began, Trump explained how he liked to “move” on women, kissing them without their permission and grabbing their genitalia.
In the more than three years since the tape it’s become clear that the you-can-do-anything line wasn’t only describing Trump’s attitude toward women. It was describing his attitude toward everything: If you’re rich and powerful you can get away with anything. Like the Joker, you just do it. You don’t need to worry about ethical niceties or the law. You bulldoze any obstacles. Now after the unsuccessful trial to impeach him, he will find a way to be even worse.
