Abraham Lincoln didn't free the slaves Slaves fought for their rights and freed themselves.

Stop giving that guy all the credit for signing the Emancipation Proclamation, especially since he ordered the biggest mass execution against indigenous people in history.

Trump is a convicted felon and should've been disqualified from the election.

I see the point of the graphic, but I think everyone in a position of power should be held accountable for soliciting sexual favor from underlings. That goes hundredfold when you are the president of the United States and she’s a twenty year old intern.

    Check out the You're Wrong About on Monica Lewinsky. Even she admits the affair was between two consenting adults. The scandal was not that Clinton abused his power but that he committed adultery (which is legal in all fifty states). Republicans at the time were arguing a man who couldn't keep marital commitments is not fit for office.

    Obviously by the time of Trump, they didn't care anymore.

    Of all the (many, many) sex scandals in state and federal politics (and coming out of the religious right), The Lewensky affair was incredibly benign. If they have an R next to their name, though, no-one cares.

    And then historical Presidents like Kennedy, FDR AND McKinley were far more scandalous.

    In the same vein,

    • Obama "drone strike king" did way worse than wear a tan suit. He assassinated gadafi, and holds (held?) the record for most deportations with reports of immigrant children in cages.
    • Biden had that whole rio grande fiasco where people were drowning everyday as he opened the asylum loophole which set T boy up for a win ( almost suspiciously efficiently, wouldn't you say?)

    Make no mistake, folks, the Two Party Mafia is corrupt all around.

    Held accountable?

    Her name has been a joke for decades.

    She got dragged through the mud and they went after Bill for lying, not being a predator.

    In what way would you call it a win for anything except hypocrisy?

    The Senate didn't impeach Bill because Hustler magazine siad they had a list of all the Senators who'd done the same thing.

    This feels like you’re trying to accuse me of something, but if you don’t actually say it I can’t really speak to it.

    I'm just pointing out that Monica was threated a million times worse by the 'pure' people than by Bill.

    Seriously? Is this the hill you pick? “Other people were worse to than her boss who shoved his cock down her throat and also was the literal boss of the western world?”

    Dude. Fuck you.
