&lt;p&gt;Our society is sick, sick, sick. &amp;nbsp;There is no outrage over anything, no matter how disgusting. &amp;nbsp;Except by the left over anything regarding Trump, of course. &amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;m no Trump fan but I&amp;#39;m not deaf and blind either. &amp;nbsp;The real outrages are totally ignored. &amp;nbsp;We are toast.&lt;/p&gt;
