material lies or emolument clause violations they would be gone.

It is not a double standard , it is NO standard for them, impossible standards for us.

The media is to blame, they have treated the right like the ignorant, half-wit step-brother due to their ignorance but doing so have given them leeway they dont deserve and now they demand that they be held to nothing.

Political talking heads in the MSM warn that Dems could lose the swing vote if they dare to subpoena tRump's tax returns or to launch investigations that could lead to impeachment, but it's just standard procedure for Repukes to conduct endless baseless investigations against the Clintons -- smear tactics which ultimately succeeded in creating negative perceptions of HRC that impacted the 2016 election.

at the Veterans Administration is so screwed up? Some will end up booted from school, others booted from their homes. The Giant Orange Turd could step in and have checks issued today, but he'd rather trash General McRaven.

Now, we can see them vote in the next election against a party that uses them. The ever lasting wars. When are we going to elect people that do not lie us into war? And keep us there?

Unless you count Fred Trump laundering Nazi money to build the family fortune. But then you should include Donnie's laundering Russian money for about 30 years. It all turns to treason in some form.

Imagine for just one second:

The crap that would have been said if Obama was on his 3rd marriage, 5 kids across those marriage, and was famous for his adulterous escapades.

Imagine if Michelle Obama had pornographic photos out there similar to Melania’s.

If Michelle Obama was foreign born and was here under questionable legality.

If there was recorded audio of Obama saying he grabs women by the ....

If Obama refused to release his tax returns.

The investigations that would have been held had the special forces killed in Niger had happened while he was POTUS.

If President Obama had sent the same high level of Relief to Puerto Rico, but ignored, and threw out paper towels in Texas after Hurricane Harvey, or Hurricane Michael recently in the Florida Panhandle because those affected are more supportive of him.

If President Obama was under a special council investigation, castigated his own appointed Attorney General for recusing himself, then unilaterally, without Senate approval appointed the Deputy to the position... One that’s on record for saying the recusal was a mistake, and the investigation is a witch hunt.

Hell, there’s just so damn many examples of their hypocrisy it’s almost mind numbing.

ADMIRAL William McRaven. McRaven served in the NAVY for 37 years. There are NO GENERALS in the NAVY.

He retired out as an ADMIRAL.
