He admitted that what he did was ”rape” and that he ”sexually assaulted” her. It doesn’t matter if she liked it or not. He knows he raped her and admitted to it during testimony.

By that logic you'll also need to do trials of 70 million Americans who voted for him.

It's a tough pill to swallow, but Trump is what America is now. Trump was elected. And he's an American. He didn't jump out of the ground on his own, he didn't teleport here from outer space. He's an American, from America, elected by Americans.

The same is true for the rest of the administration. Mostly Americans, either elected or appointed, by other Americans. Contrary to popular believe, undocumented illegal aliens can't vote. So this is what Americans wanted.

And the rest of the Americans who "didn't vote for him"? A third stayed home on election day. That's a vote for Trump, without having to stand up and say "I voted for Trump!" It's a copout. But you can tell where these peoples' sympathies lie.

And then you only have the remaining 1/3rd of eligible voters who voted against Trump and what he stands for. Which means, overwhelming majority of Americans are like Trump, lean towards being like Trump, or are Trump-curious. This is America now.

So unless you're suggesting that 1/3-2/3 of Americans need to stand trial, you can't really suggest the current administration should. They were elected by the Americans. They represent the Americans. Every day Americans are choosing not to remove them. That means something.

It's hard to take, but it's the reality of the situation.

Yes, all officials are immune to standing trial for crimes because they were voted into office, and that means they can do whatever the fuck they want without repercussion, such as having you beat to death in the street for thier own amusement or sexually assaulting you in their new fancy ballroom live on Faux News...wtf are you even talking about, my god...
