It isnt about trump though. I'm not caping for trump, but Bill Clinton was a real dickbag himself, just as bad as the Donald.

None of the people Clinton pardoned, say, intimidated Monica Lewinski or tried to destroy The Dress.

I sure as hell won't be voting for Bill Clinton in the coming election. That's all that needs to be said about it in this thread.

Trump says he'll offer a path to citisenship because that polls well. He thinks he can do that through an EO because he still thinks the President has unlimited powers.

Ted Cruz, besides being a reanimated blobfish in a suit, is staunchly against giving Dreamers a path to citizenship, and his electorate is even more opposed to it than he is personally. Being spineless and unwilling to stand up to personal attacks from Trump is not a problem for an electorate who prizes loyalty to Trump high, but being soft on immigration would be unforgivable.

Trump: DACA was bad. I'll end DACA.

Also Trump: Cause WE'RE MAKING ALL OF THEM CITIZEEENS!

Yeah. Because Trump has no values or principles beyond self-interest.

Whitewater was definitely a major scandal. Fiften people involved were convicted of around forty different crimes and their refusal to cooperate probably protected the Clintons from being formally indicted and convicted in connection to the corruption.

Yes, I visited LA a couple years ago, and there were strict warnings from the locals I was with to not walk in certain neighborhoods, usually those controlled by Latino gangs, as a black man, or risk my life.

Getting coddled by the GOP on impeachment isn't enough, he still has to exact petty vengeance on everyone involved.

It seems a strange strategy to go into the election going "Remember how I was impeached?" I know he thinks he got 'exonerated' and thinks he'll be able to play up the 'hoax', but you know, we're all not able to travel to Europe and Canada because of how he's handled the other thing he called a 'hoax.'

Coronavirus quarantine, just like the EU.

I caught a whiff of this working its way through the machine when a dude on a friend's facebook post was gung ho to open schools on the premise that it would be slightly less lethal than it might have been a month ago. I pointed out that Fauci wasn't as enamored by that stat as a passing reference and he was apparently loaded for Fauci bear. I didn't base my argument on Fauci but that didn't stop him.

Smearing their own guys, in the middle of the action. I swear, if someone has travelled back in time to warn the world about this administration, it's been dismissed as simply too unbelievable.

Well, Dr. Fauci has a medical kind of authority and could be a reverse Jim Comey if he felt like it. That's bad for Donny. I am sure this has entered the mini minds inside the WH. The Doc could put out a telling public letter in late October. A move the needle a couple points kinda thing. Trump should be handling him with kid gloves but he hasn't the ability to be anything other than adversarial. The fools running Trump' campaign should be scared shitless of a scenario like this. Just sayin.

Unemployment is also going down because the labor force has lost 130,000 of its members.
