Silicon Valley companies defending sex trafficking has made me question if good people — or even baseline-human people — actually exist anymore.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump won big in yesterday’s New York Primary contests.

Rejoicing or weeping will depend on who you are, but let’s look at what happened either way.

Democrats:

The blatant promise of a career in the spotlight has stripped the Bachelor/Bachelorette of its beautiful, benign lie: that we could watch “regular” people navigate the perils and pitfalls of modern dating, that such a quest was in and of itself enough, and that a happy ending was a real possibility.

Watching recent cable news talking heads chat about the prospect of Trump/Cruz/Clinton/Sanders being “denied” the Republican/Democratic nomination, you would think that entertainment media is run by 5th graders. (Although... That WOULD explain a lot.)

But the way I see it, concerning the issue of legalizing pot we have two questions: 1) Whether a person has the right to get high, and 2) Whether that right supersedes the rights of other potentially affected parties.

Trump’s ability to kick it with top-notch op-ed crews is just nonexistent. As the New York Times’ interview with Trump shows, the man remains ever unable to give a simple, on-point answer. And Twitter's had a hey-day with his responses.

Both Clinton and Trump should be more forthcoming about their physical health, but the controversy surrounding Clinton's fitness for office looks largely media-driven.

It is a rare day when a Congressional committee garners tabloid-like coverage, but Thursday was one of those days.

I am hesitant to write anything that might tangentially help Donald Trump, because I think the man entirely unfit to be president.
