    Accuser makes it sound like he was not found guilty of rape. If Trump is not impeached the US will be rightly viewed as an autocratic banana republic.

      I feel like we blew past banana republic a while back and are onto deciding whether we’re a nation of laws at all anymore. The idea that the US is a democracy is laughable.

          to be fair, the amerikkkan version of democracy has always been corperatocracy or christocracy… never was or ever will it be real democracy

            How do you people write that without cringing yourself to death? It’s like tweens writing Micro$oft. Waow you really showed em with that original twist in the name

            For the record, I hate this place as much as you - if not more.

        sure it is, poors get one set of laws and rich get the other, as is tradition for the “roman model” of governance

        Frankly, the continuing inaction to do nothing at all to even admonish the administration for openly corrupt behavior turning everything into a personal benefit for trump is depressing even if someone implemented ‘other methods’.

        As bad as Trump is, it’s more worrying that no one is even vaguely willing to go along with ousting him. The handful of GOP that was even vaguely on the fence has been ousted at this point. Since the supreme court has ruled that openly politically aligned and outright racist districting is ok, and challenges about each state’s districting are only ever valid if the challenge would strike down a democrat plan…

      He was found liable not guilty, and if you don’t understand the difference you should read instead of commenting.
