Literally every other US citizen would be a prisoner long since for doing a microscopic part of what Trump did.
While I agree with you 99.9% and emphasize that I strongly so do… as much as the "both sides" bullshit is, in fact, bullshit… the one small bit of it that is true is that our politicians do get away with these things, although most of them are only doing a microscopic part of what Trump has done. But plenty of them - both parties, even the one I always vote for - act poorly and get away with it for any number of reasons, including the fact that we hesitate to go after politicians because it's seen as political.
But let me finish by reiterating that Trump has been particularly and unprecedently egregious in his blatant criminal acts.
Why did anyone ever give a fuck about this guy?
It's amazing what 25 years of propaganda will do to people.
I was pretty hopeful to see a change of heart during the AMA,
Alas, I had no such optimism. Unfortunately, my cynicism was correct. :(
I was there from 2009, when they welcomed me and asked me to do an AMA while Fark mods temp-banned me accidentally. lol. I spent a lot of the last 14 years on reddit creating some communities, moderating default subs, stepping away twice, but going back each time.
Well, this is finally it. I'm an old.reddit user, so not directly impacted by this, but it's just a sign that reddit is dead. It's been dying.
I got into tildes thankfully, as the discussion there is great. And now I'm over here, as I know there's a large influx from reddit, so hopefully these two sites will fill that gap. :)
If you don't use RSS readers but do like email, blogtrottr.com is free and does RSS→email. You can set the frequency of the emails. Free accounts get ads in the emails, but it's inexpensive to go ad-free, which I do.
