The media is largely at fault here, pretending that both sides are equal.

The people are even more at fault, being fine with this.

There is some kind of weird issue here, not sure what it is called, that where if the media were to blow this up everyone would say they are overreacting.

So it becomes a "seat at the table is better than no seat" thing where they won't ask Trump these questions.

It's a standard fear of repercussions, no ones wants to speak up today so it all gets progressively worse and harder to speak up tomorrow.

It’s not the only possible outcome. Many countries have successfully protested against less controversial government practices and/or under worse conditions than there are now in the US.

What's wrong with a blowjob?

Nothing. Clinton got impeached not for the blowjob (which was consensual), but for lying under oath about it, i.e. perjury.

>> Nothing

For most people, getting blowjobs from a subordinate in the office during work hours would result in more than just a warning.

For real, Watergate feels like a fever dream. Trump does 10x worse every single day and no one cares.

Obama assassinated multiple US citizens without due process of law?

And did an about-face on whistleblowers. He, like his successors, have all been anathema to freedom. Class balkanization.

Hacker news is made of people usually smart people, and smart people tend to favor one side of the political spectrum more than the other

Is kind funny when you see who is lost. I though even the most trumper had seen the light, but is clear their delusion is strong.

Let's not play that game please.

We don't even know who made these trades.

If we look at actual trades by politicians who actually sit on committees with tradable information, we know the biggest culprits are on both sides of the aisle.
