For someone who doesn’t give a stuff about Trump you seem quite vocal to argue his cause, or the Republican cause, in most threads that he gets a reference. Plus narrowly give the thread a remit where Trump’s past questionable activity is out of scope but years of dirt on the Democrats, or Clinton, are fair game.

If there was a thread to slate the Democrats I’d be near the front of the queue. As in the UK I don’t think parties of the left/centre left/centre should set their barometer at being slightly less shit and/or corrupt than the right wing party.

The law should never be selectively applied, but we all know in the real world the rich/famous/powerful get away with things the rest of us wouldn’t because of who, or what, they know. The USA likes to sell itself as the world’s moral policeman but it’s no less corrupt than many dictatorships in the developing world. Half of which they probably installed.
