[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a social tradition when someone dies to focus on the progress. Just respect it, don’t go to cnn.com, and recognize that the scrutiny that all politicians are subject to will happen in due time.[/quote]

So you think if Trump, for instance, dies, a similarly hushed reaction would be warranted?[/quote]

Nothing is warranted for the conman! He gets what he dishes out![/quote]

Pretty sure McCain's (as well as HRC's, GWB's, etc.) body count dwarfs Trump's and will for quite a while. Personally, I care more about actual famage, including death, inflicted on actual people than I do about Trump's imagined slights of vague concepts like 'norms' cherished by those who have a long history of looking the other way when their fellow humans suffer.

Nothing pro-Trump about that, just trying to re-inject some reality into the discussion.[/quote]

+1.  Although [b]the norm shredding and corruption and breaking the law will harm us in a much more concrete way then the warmongering[/b], but perhaps we deserve it.  Perhaps it’s time that we starting paying for our decisions.[/quote]

Something tells me this is what you want to happen. You seem to think Trump is some aberration and that corruption is unheard of in the halls of power. Corruption is American as apple pie. Do you not get that the DOD is all about corruption? Do you not get that both the cause and the 'remedy' for the GFC were all about corruption? Trump may be awful, but you're fooling yourself if you think he's some uniquely malign force in American politics.[/quote]

How many times do you try to push the same dumbass false equivalency?  Unfortunately, Trump is a uniquely malevolent force in American politics.  I know you want to bury your head in the sand and say “they’re all bad” but we can see from President Obama’s that a President can be imperfect and make mistakes but still be relatively decent, both as a human being and in the ethics Of his service.  I’m sorry that makes you feel bad, but you should feel bad.[/quote]
