Hollywood fires a fake President for sexual misconduct, while our "real President" faces no sanctions for similar charges

It  seems ironic that Kevin Spacey, a "fake President," is being fired, and his career ruined, because of alleged sexual misconduct while our "real President" faces no sanctions for similar charges. I never dreamed that I'd see the day when Hollywood would be upholding a higher moral standard than our government. Of course, if a Democrat had been elected President and was an admitted, unrepentent "pussy grabber," he would have faced immediate impeachment, just as Clinton did, from a self-righteous Republican Congress. Politics trumps morality in DC. In the past, elected officials sinned, just like everyone else, but never so openly and with such impunity. And when they were caught, they resigned. Trump is the first politician to break with this tradition. He is the "exceptional" president.

Sadly, we can no longer tell our children to look to the President as an example. Quite the opposite. It is painful to see Melania going to schools to speak out against bullying when she is married to one of the nation's top bullies.

I am glad that women are stepping out and making accusations against
men who have abused their positions of power to take advantage of those who are weaker and more vulnerable. This is something that conservatives and liberals should be able to agree on. The Bible makes it clear that it is wrong to engage in sexual immoral behavior. Feminists believe it is wrong to use sex to exploit others. Having sex with a minor or pressuring a woman to have sex isn't a partisan issue. It's a moral issue. And the buck should stop with the President.
