The Politics Thread

[Juliajms]

I don't.  At this point it's clear to me that there are some very violent men of all political persuasions.   I might consider a set up for anyone in power accused by only one person.  In this case the women involved told people at the time it happened, so it seems pretty clearly true.

 

I bet there will be a few more victims coming forward before it's over.  The ones coming forward in this case were very brave. I doubt I would have had the nerve because this is the kind of guy who can and will make your life hell. Thank God he's been stripped of his official power.

Only 6 decades? You mean that there's actually been someone worse than Trump?

I certainly think there's a case to be made for Andrew Jackson.

I wasn't trying to say that only men of one political persuasion are violent. I was just saying I no longer have any faith or ability to trust most media reporting, especially after the insanity against Obama and the Clintons.

I'd still say W was nearly as bad if not worse, although that will likely change soon enough. It's just he had a less awful personality.

Right. I think it depends on the criteria we're using to evaluate.  More people are dead because of W and those around him.  We set Iraq on fire under his regime when they basically did nothing to us. Some estimates put the number of dead around 1 million, if you count lack of food and medicine due to the war.

^ This whole thing is already so ugly.  It's clearly going to get worse. I only hope that the people who deserve jail get it, but I also won't be surprised if the mask totally slips from the Republicans and they try to subvert justice entirely.
