'Quiet Piggy' is the most painful Trump clip since the ‘Access Hollywood’ tape
In moments like this,
when my heart stops for a woman I’ve never met because she has been publicly humiliated just for trying to do her job,
I’m reminded of how thoroughly Trump has normalized misogyny.

The most painful Trump clip since the ‘Access Hollywood’ tape
Readers weigh in on “Quiet, piggy” and Thanksgiving civility.

The document offers some hints, declaring that the U.S. would also somehow take charge of the $100 billion in frozen Russian assets, for example, supposedly to invest this money in Ukraine and receive “50% of the profits from this venture.” Europeans, whose banks actually hold most of these assets, would receive nothing."
