As to the parents points at hand - they got away with it. So, not "that person". All of them.

Your cute political comment ignores ridiculouslness on your side. It's all the same trash. Either party. Don't be a homer.

cute comment edit aside, I'm not sure I follow the distinction you're trying to make.

edit: to be absolutely clear, i'm not saying that trump has committed _every_one_ of the _specific_ acts referenced by the parent. but he is the amalgamation of every terrible, wrong-headed political move a person can make, and he's president. my point was the initial analogy was bad, "picture a candidate who's done every bad thing a candidate can do; how do you think they'd be treated?". well, they'd quite possibly be elected president.

Yeah Trump didn't drive a women off a bridge and leave her dead like your previous leader Ted Kennedy.

I personally support third party but damn the left loves to ignore how dirtball their own party is. Add Mel Reynolds, Robert KKK Byrd and others to the mix and it's laughable the party is any more a champion for anything. I honestly don't understand how either side can wage an ethics war on the other.

Someone makes a point about how dirtball politicians are in general and then it turns into criticism about the current powers that be as if the opposition is angelic. They both suck. Why can't we agree on that?

"your leader"? "your party"? "ethics war"?

you're making a lot of assumptions for a wed evening, no?

This is a toxic comment for HN. Please keep political flamewars way far away.
