      Not really, it’s just it turned out that while we’re focusing on him getting a blowjob from a consenting adult almost 30 years ago, we don’t focus on politician that are currently in power, and which were and are doing heinous shit to literal children. Priorities, you know.

        Trump was impeached twice in his first term and if the Democrats gain a majority this year I’m sure he’ll be impeached again. Turns if you let one party get a stranglehold on all 3 branches the whole checks and balances thing kind of falls apart.

        Maybe if Clinton had been held accountable back then it would be easier to hold the president accountable now. Precedent and all that.

      The perjury charge was a stretch due to a perjury trap set up be the Republicans, which is why 10 Republicans in the Senate rejected it along with the Dems.

      However, the blowjob was the bigger issue. It’s unethical for a retail manager to get a blowjob from a floor associate because consent is more complicatedwhen there’s a power imbalance. I don’t understand how people can defend the President of the United States getting oral sex from an intern.
