[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 111291, member: 35"] Of course I don't want him to get off. My point is that Trump's a symptom of systemic rot, yet people act as if no other politician has been this deserving of contempt before. It's gotten so insane that war criminals are treated like heroes now simply because they hate Trump too. Those "buts" you don't like are to show that Trump isn't the only politician worthy of contempt, investigation, and possible criminal charges. As for the Clintons, if Trump had been part of a deal to sell uranium to Russia and his foundation just happened to receive millions from investors in that deal, while Melania "coincidentally" received $500,000 from a Kremlin bank, it wouldn't be treated as inconsequential. Trump may be the priority now because he's the current occupant of the White House, but it goes back to my original point that letting a system of corruption flourish has led to our current situation. Politicians have gotten away with corruption for far too long. IMO, the lie used by the Bush Administration to get us into Iraq was worse, and it also showed a huge contempt of the law. Mueller propagated that lie, and now he and Bush, along with pro-torturers like John Brennan are looked at favorably because they've also gone after Trump. You don't become a good guy by going after another bad guy. Since Trump was elected, my goal here has been to show why the system needs to be reformed and why ALL politicians need to be held accountable. [/QUOTE]
