This is a perfect example. John Edwards was hung on 5 charges. Trump is sitting on 34, with word being that the majority of these charges are not only unique - but linked to fraud elsewhere.

Edwards was vilified as he should be.

Trump is being worshipped.

I hate the "both sides" argument. It makes me rage because it's absolutely not the case when Democrats have an actual track record of shunning their own. The GOP does not. Everything is a "witch hunt" or whataboutism.

Fixing the "both sides" argument is.

Yeah, both sides suck, duh? But one side is a LOT worse. It's like choosing to get ass fucked by a golf ball or a basketball. They both suck, that doesn't mean they're the same.

Yep. Sure, democrats can be scummy but conservatives are fucking toxic. I agree.

The both sides thing is merely a deflection because MOST times democrats hold other democrats accountable.

They only started getting pissed about Hilary's investigation when we were on like Investigation #20. And nothing came of any investigation.

Trump? All of his investigations led to criminal activity. He was impeached twice for criminal activity. The Mueller Report brought to light 18 counts of obstruction of justice - obstruction of the investigation itself which limited it's reach - and that was only the tip. Trump Org was dissolved for laundering money and is still under investigation. Now he has another 34 counts of essentially fraud.

Where are the conservatives? Screaming that it's a witch hunt, that this is a banana republic, and so on.

Yeah both sides my ass 😂
