Great quote just now from John Meacham.

[Rustynaerduwell]

Paraphrasing: "As you raise the bar on what you can impeach a President for, you lower the bar on what is acceptable behavior by a President"

[malaise]

1. Yes indeed

Iran-Contra and of course that illegal war and occupation of Iraq but Meacham won't ever touch a Bush.

[H2O Man]

5. Valid point.

[PatSeg]

2. Very shot and to the point

So many bars have been lowered since Trump entered politics.

[Traildogbob]

3. No more lowering bars

Time to raise bars vertically around the whole damn GOP criminals. Lock em up!

[PatSeg]

10. I'm making so many grammatical

mistakes these days - that was suppose to be "Very SHORT and to the point". My brain is turning into mush.

[H2O Man]

4. Recommended.

6. I remember back in the late 90s

when I said that it was ridiculous to impeach Clinton because he lied about a blowjob, the Republican response was that a president of the United States should be held to the highest of standards

[Cosmocat]

7. Do not get me started

The dignity of the office bullshit ... They just make shit up as they go along, and it does not matter one bit if it completely contradicts what they screamed about 24 hours earlier, cause this country never holds the responsible for it.

[GReedDiamond]

11. Exactly! But it wasn't about the BJ, it was "lying under oath"...

...apparently lying under oath is no longer a thing to be concerned about, to Putin's Republican Party.

[bucolic_frolic]

8. I think they should just lower the boom and remove Trump from office /nt

[lunatica]

9. Donald Trump is the walking example of the veracity of that statement

The end product of what you get when you allow the bar to be lowered. Of the Republicans allowing each succeeding president to be stupider than the last and dutifully breaking the rules.
