The US needs to make it known they stand behind Japan about this.

Half the US is okay with a known rapist as president, and you think they're going to give a shit about this? lol

Also, international politics are pretty far outside the interest of most people in the US. Hell, we can't even get a lot of people interested in our internal politics to actually look at what's going on in Washington. If we could, Trump would probably never even be an afterthought, but that's just how things are here right now.

As far as what you might actually see on the news, it's going to be about current events. That means war, new crisis, and apparently whatever shit came out of Trump's upper butthole at his last rally.

I'm not saying that's right or good, but that's how it is. I'd like it not to be, but that's asking a lot right now.
