Nixon---Reagan---W. Bush---and now, Trump.

[Atticus]

Each of these men was a liar and a criminal who considered democracy an unnecessary hindrance often their "imperial" right to rule us as they saw fit.

How many of these arrogant Republican thugs are we going to let go virtually unpunished for their malfeasance?

How many times will we be cowed by those who admonish us to "be the adults" and "move on---for the good of the country"?

How many more times will we attempt to "reach out to" and "work with" smirking sociopathic politicos who would be expelled from any other profession and who we would not trust to dog sit for us?

If Trump goes unpunished we will not deserve to call ourselves a democracy, the high-sounding words writ in stone above the entrance to the Supreme Court should be chiselled away and that "Lady With the Lamp" should be sold for scrap.

1. trump has set himself, and the republicon party, for prosecution, so well.

Investigators and prosecutors are doing good work. The courts are starting to do well, as they did in 2020.

If the Dems can avoid shooting themselves in the foot, as the two wings of the Dem party did , in November 2021 - corruption may get hit fairly hard.

2. Nixon was a true criminal. Reagan was inept and trying to cover his lying ass.

W. Bush was just not very bright, easily manipulated. Trump is all of them put together and more.

4. Excellent analysis.....

you nailed them all - especially IQ45!

3. The very fact that W Bush and Trump were allowed to assume office

That alone challenges our right to call ourselves a democracy. We need to re-earn it, and soon.

5. And isn't THAT the scariest "fact-of-the-day!"

But the most glaring issue is that tRump was allowed to go that far - and scarier still - people want him back again!!!!
