• It’s funny that you mention THOSE Republicans because I’m old enough to remember when all three were hailed as the second coming of Hitler by the left. Weird how that’s changed…

      I’m old enough to remember and I don’t recall anything so severe as the second coming of Hitler. The worst I recall was Gingrich and Dick Chaney being considered pretty vile, and Bush Jr being seen as lacking competence.

      Trump feels unique in how obviously corrupt he wants to go.

      As a point of comparison, no one ever even broached the topic of impeachment with W Bush. As disappointed as folks were with facets of his presidency, currying personal favors and working to subvert elections were not anywhere in sight.
