Literally every other US citizen would be a prisoner long since for doing a microscopic part of what Trump did.

While I agree with you 99.9% and emphasize that I strongly so do… as much as the “both sides” bullshit is, in fact, bullshit… the one small bit of it that is true is that our politicians do get away with these things, although most of them are only doing a microscopic part of what Trump has done. But plenty of them - both parties, even the one I always vote for - act poorly and get away with it for any number of reasons, including the fact that we hesitate to go after politicians because it’s seen as political.

But let me finish by reiterating that Trump has been particularly and unprecedently egregious in his blatant criminal acts.

Why did anyone ever give a fuck about this guy?

It’s amazing what 25 years of propaganda will do to people.

I was pretty hopeful to see a change of heart during the AMA,

Alas, I had no such optimism. Unfortunately, my cynicism was correct. :(
