25. There's no law against it

And we just spent four years watching a horrible president smash precedent and break norms because there were no law against it (mostly because nobody thought the president would ever be such a poltroon). Also, that administration did indeed break laws with impunity, knowing that the Department of Justice wouldn't prosecute them, but instead act as the president's personal law firm.

I don't remember anyone on the right wing uttering a peep about any of that. They're "outraged" now, are they? Boo fuckin' hoo.
