Also, you forgot to mention Chappaquiddick.
Don't forget Bubba. Had his back on l'affaire Lewinsky. And his insane impeachment.

And who is "incensed"? Nobody here. I was just reacting to what you said. I'm not incensed by it -- it was just kind of sloppy and pathetic. eta: Which is to say, I wouldn't have been surprised to see that sort of thing in a random comment somewhere else on the internet, but obviously you have more and better things to say when you bother to.

What do I find somewhat more interesting is your constant ability to spout DJT talking points without apparent awareness or acknowledgement that that's what you're doing.
Your first two paragraphs are too dumb for reply.

Your third intentionally misses that I was addressing the whole of the US, not you, or this board.

On your last, everyone's entitled to a defense. Never trust a man who roots for a guilty verdict in a political prosecution. It's like going to a dog fight.

No. In fact, fuck no. I am deadly serious about this, Hank.

LBJ's instincts were right - he should have called Nixon out, and had him and his Old China friends arrested. Clark Clifford was dead wrong (not for the first time - see e.g. BCCI). Nixon's actions in October 1968 were what was "inimical to our country," as I suspect any American who lost a loved one in SE Asia between January 1969 and June 1973 would agree.

Pretty much anyone who was conscious during those years I expect....

Yeah. Sure. Trump shot Mueller in the face with a Dragunov rifle at close range multiple times. But how is that different from when Cheney did it to his friend with a shotgun? And think of all the Presidents who've sent kids to their deaths for purely political reasons. All of you and your blatant moral relativity amount to nothing more than pure left wing, tribal-induced hypocrisy. Would you not trade the lives of those who were sent to war in Iraq over a lie for Mueller's? His murder is just another in a long line of unnecessary deaths this country has perpetrated. You think our country's so innocent?

Do you do that at parties too? I bet that goes over well.

If you are consciously aware that you're defending Trump, at least that's something.

For me, politics is not like a dog fight, because it means something more than the spectacle who wins and who loses.

And now Trump is "entitled" to a defense? I thought all was fair in politics.
