> [@CaptMurdock](#): > > We had a sitting president get impeached for a consensual blowjob in the Oval Office. Somehow the country will survive. Not sure I follow your logic. That was more of an embarrassment for partisan Republicans who saw fit to impeach Clinton over essentially nothing. Whereas Trump was an international embarrassment to the US every single day for four years, during which he bloviated a grand total of at least 30,573 documented lies and genuinely undermined America’s prestige and influence in the global diplomatic community. No president in history has ever sided with a foreign enemy against America’s own intelligence agencies; no president in history has ever literally been laughed at when giving a speech before the UN General Assembly; no president in history has ever sent allies scrambling over fears about the future of NATO. But yeah, Clinton got a blow job. ---

Nitpick: wasn’t the impeachment for lying about the act, under oath, rather than the act itself? ---

And now from the “Every Accusation Is A Confession Department” GOP donor faces trial on charges of sex trafficking minors: > Anton “Tony” Lazzaro is charged with seven counts involving “commercial sex acts” with five minors ages 15 and 16 in 2020, when he was 30 years old.

Yes, and this grand jury inquiry is about him claiming the Daniels bribe as a business expense; monkey business, perhaps. He’s also under investigation in Georgia for attempting to subvert the election there, and the feds are investigating him for his attempt to overturn the election, and for stealing hundreds of classified documents, and possible obstruction of justice in the recovery of said documents. ---

It was, the same way Martha Stewart went to jail for lying to investigators, when chances are that if she had been honest she probably would have gotten a slap on the wrist. ---
