I don't care in a legal sense. It should make the RNC and GOP look bad, lol.

I reject the Trump cult talking point that everyone in politics is equally corrupt, or has a myriad of crimes they've committed in the past. It's nonsense intended to muddy the waters because the man you voted for is a criminal scoundrel.

So far I haven't seen any good evidence that the Mueller investigation has gone off the rails at all. Read the mandate, if Mueller finds additional crimes, he's not going to just ignore them. He'll either pursue those crimes himself, or refer them to a US attorney's office.

lefty understanding of politics in a nutshell: "it's the party leadership, and not the base, who gets to decide the candidates/who runs the country."

had he told the truth during the hearings, he wouldnt have been impeached despite the blowjob.






lol? I never pretended like Bill/Monika wasnt consensual. but it's still a highly immoral thing to do.

there is of course a huge power imbalance between the president of the united states and a white house intern.
there is only very little power imbalance, if any at all, between a venture capitalist and a pornstar.

I reject the anti-Trump cult talking point where the world didn't exist before 2016, because everyone and their mother has said that everyone in political is corrupt and criminal. You could throw a stick in the air in D.C. and have it land on a teapot dome or iran-contra. For fucks sake, even Alexander Hamilton was paying hush money to cover up his affair back in 1792. If you want to find a crook in washington, you plant your feet and do a full 360 degree spin.

this has to be the most confirmation bias laden post ive seen you make in a while my man.... trump has had to walk back his twitter feed on a weekly basis. both in foreign and domestic policy. the fact that you're extrapolating from just the redline situation things about Obama that are actually far more attributable to Trump is silly. just stop. trump predictably walks back bullshit far more than Obama ever had to, the fact that you think Obama was predictable and weak is silly. the guy ran an insane drone program and was hawkish on a lot of conflicts.

if you're really going to make the argument that trump isnt being hypocritical in his forecasting of moves and that it was an ok idea because he's warning the russians you need to take a walk. thats just dumb. plain and simple.

of course trump is a hypocrite, of course he is backtracking on his announcements far too often when it comes to domestic issues. but on foreign policy and syria in particular, he hasnt acted out of the line yet.

Quote

and yes, obama was using lots of drones and was hawkish on a lot of issues, but he was weak on a lot of things as well. his policy in the middle east was a complete and utter disaster.

Quote

and no, warning the russians of imminent strikes on military bases where russian soldiers might be stationed, thus reducing the risk of american cruise missiles killing russian soldiers, is not "just dumb, plain and simple", its a good thing.

all corrupt =/= equally corrupt.

i mean you're smart, but no where near as smart as me.

ahhh yes that b-rate porn star is so powerful compared to a guy who admits he gropes women because he's famous and they let him do it. you realize of course how incredibly weak the position of most women in porn is, right? like they get contracts broken by directors, costars, and agents all the time with little to no recourse.

Quote (Black XistenZ @ Apr 13 2018 03:56pm)

the girl wasnt a fucked up b-rate porn star with a drug problem, she was a playboy playmate.

and money generally creates an imbalance of power. this power dynamics is at work in any relationship or affair where one of the parties earns more than the other.

what sets clinton/lewinsky apart from this is the fact that there was a huge work-related power imbalance.

and just for the record: if proof popped up that trump was fucking hope hicks in the oval office, I would be calling for his impeachment as well.
