Because different people's crimes should be different cases. You know I don't disagree with indicting and sentencing every single member of Congress to death but you gotta do it right.

I hear humans living in the hollow Earth have an obesity problem cause they all weigh more than they do on the surface.

Trump sucks no matter what Hillary did, obviously. If she had won the presidential election, she'd probably be deserving of impeachment by now.

The Federalist? Really?

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Has any politician ever been brought before more Senate and House committees, hell bent on finding something, anything, to charge them with, but yet time after time they come up empty and dragging their tails between their legs when all is said and done?

If someone is a crook - prove it. Otherwise STFU.

Just gonna bookmark this in case Mueller doesn't charge Trump with anything.

b-but, Hillary did it first!

It's allright. There's enough jail cells to go around.

They ran for the same office and have both been accused of collusion (Trump directly with Russia, Clinton and the DNC with Ukraine and firms like Fusion GPS who used Russian sources). They are also both accused of money laundering. The public doesn't want a consistent standard that applies to everyone: they just want their side to win because its entertaining. Jonathan Haidt's observations on tribalism are my biggest reference point for how things are today, but what Clinton does isn't irrelevant. Just as Trump could set a precedent for allowable behavior, she is responsible for lowering the bar for a whole separate demographic.

The bigger problem, however, is that at the end of the day it doesn't really seem like these proceedings matter because nobody of real prominence go to jail for their wrongdoings. Pence will come out on top even if the Democrats get their way on everything else. Nixon and Clinton both got their fair share of the spotlight for their respective ****ups but still basically walked away with zero consequences.

Or maybe people complain more about Trump because he's currently in control of the whole nation. He's in a position to do massive harm, so he needs to be kept under sharp watch. The same should go for any president.

How surprising that many Germans don’t want to be annexed by Syria.
