I can't believe there's people on this forum that actually think Clinton was the best candidate for Dems. Before the primaries were over it seemed Bay12 pol threads were for Bernie and hated Hilldawg.
Man, space, I've actually mentioned that before. I did support bernie at the start of the primary, and while didn't hate hillary was pretty damn skeptical -- I had heard the constant repetitions of warhawk, fair-weather activist, corporate stooge, etc. Actually voted for sanders in the primary, for all that I regretted it by the time the primary was called. By that point his actions had soured me on him and I had actually got off my ass and saw what the hullabaloo was about clinton. Didn't take long after
that to realize just how bloody sodding empty or wrought with double-standard/vicious ignorance the vast majority of criticisms of her are, when they're not just outright sodding lies that have all the evidence available in the world to identify as such for anyone sane, but close to no one willing to actually
check. And after
that I started paying attention to what she's actually done, and not what people keep spewing bullshit about what she's done. It's a pretty damn good picture if you actually give the least amount of effort to crosscheck or filter for gratuitous distortion.
As I've noted vis a vis our media and population. Quite a lot of folks didn't.
Except it isn't, and if he tries, we should sue him.
He's going to appoint justices who will do that for him.
Can the President be sued for gross negligence?
If he's impeached first, TBF. Unless it was going through before the vote.
Where, breitbart? Fox News? Hillary had the BBC, CNN, NYP, etc, all with her. Of course, those outlets did comment on the emails issue, because those things are actualy a bigger issue than the stuff that got thrown at Trump, because those got progressively more minized because the same accusations were just repeated over and over, rather than actualy expanded upon, and so became seen as mostly baseless, while the scandals involving Hillary just piled on.
Bigger issue? Trump did literally what clinton was only accused of -- intentionally deleting emails while under investigation and intentionally obstructing investigation and legal proceedings -- only repeatedly, demonstrably, and actually documented. He also spewed classified information at least once this election on friggin'
video.
Trump didn't even remotely get hit with the same accusations just repeated over and over. There was focus, yes, but there was also a
cavalcade of not just accusations but straight up, "Yes we have papers and records" examples of things he had done in the past that were everything from merely inappropriate for a presidential candidate to outright illegal. Dozens. The man is the first president in my lifetime to be coming into office with straight up publicly available
unarguable evidence that he's broken the law, repeatedly and fragrantly.
And clinton? Clinton had two, unless you roll bill's into her's. Two scandals. That were focused on over the course of this election. The investigation emails and the wikileaks leaks. That were investigated, and no evidence of criminal action found. Fuck, little to no evidence of even
abnormal action found. But no one cares. The guy with the streak of lawsuits longer than my hair and dozens more under prosecution at this very moment, is considered less of a criminal than the person that has been repeatedly exonerated of meaningful wrongdoing. And the latter's presumed, repeatedly found lacking, malfeasance has consistently been called the bigger issue. Rah rah american media, you got what you bloody asked for.
