Maybe he shouldn't have done his criminal acts in Manhattan. Poor fella just can't catch a break.
Man, what has this country come to? It's getting so you can't even sleep with a porn star while your wife is home pregnant, and then pay the porn star off to keep quiet during an election.
I do bet Trump in retrospect regrets paying her off... turns out his evangelical base is really into that kinda thing.
Can't even grab em by the P or else you have to pay. Maybe he can buy another beauty pageant so he can stare at teenagers getting undressed.
You voted for Bill Clinton, correct?
You know what's coming, " it / that was different, nobody or anything is as bad as Trump ".
I don't try to defend Bill Clinton's sexscapades but I'll never understand people evaluating Trump through a binary ethical lens relative to others, i.e. "both have done suboptimal things, so they/those things that they've done are equivalent practically/ethically/criminally."
Degrees matter. This is so obvious that's it's weird to have to say it but it's where we are.
It's what people that have, or are going to, vote for Trump have to do to get right with it.
Trump's gross sex misconduct aside, ask yourself honestly would any past president have comported themselves the way the Trump did leading up to and on January 6, and then for years continue beating the drum regarding fake election fraud to the significant detriment of our country?
Trump is different. He is worse in this regard. No past President has or would ever have behaved in such a selfish and damaging way.
Civ, do you agree people can see or hear the same story and draw completely different conclusions?
Obviously.
I don't see how people can't accurately contextualize January 6 and fake election fraud as so completely and obviously aberrant and damaging Presidential behavior though.
Anybody that does this is either dense or willfully ignorant or both.
No past President would dream of behaving this way in their capacity as President. Biden has done no such thing, not even close. He's a normal, albeit old, President that has made some good political decisions and some bad ones just like every other President. The way he comports himself in office has been just like every other President.
The same cannot be said for Trump WRT January 6 and fake election fraud, not even close. He stands alone with that selfish and illegal and undemocratic ****show.
