Rabies is fatal, just saying

Still looking for false equivalency, Clinton ain’t Trump* not even close

Using foreign aid to destroy rivals.

Weaponizing the judiciary.

Firing all the inspectors general.

Democracies begin to die when a leader starts to destroy the limits on his power, and his faction decides that he is more important than the republic.

Welcome to that moment.

You have welcomed us to your attack by meaningless generalizations. Thanks, but we would be better off without them.

"Clinton ain’t Trump* not even close "

YOU, not me, said that your asterisk for Trump was due to getting impeached. Clinton was also impeached. So using your criteria (impeachment brings with it an asterisk) they are indeed the same.

OK, I asked three times, you dodged three times, we all know you aren't going to answer, we all know why.

"Democracies begin to die when a leader starts to destroy the limits on his power, and his faction decides that he is more important than the republic.

Welcome to that moment."

So the courts no longer exist to keep the POTUS in check? He did away with the courts? I slept through that I guess. Also, isn't there an election in a few months, in which if enough people agree with you, he goes bye-bye? Or did he cancel the election, and I slept through that announcement as well.

To recap...

Pete: The asterisk is for impeachment.

Jim: Clinton was also impeached, do you give Clinton an asterisk?

Pete (head on verge of exploding): Clinton was popular, and Trump is a dictator, he's taking a wrecking ball to all of our institutions, and he's mean!!!

So the asterisk has nothing whatsoever to do with impeachment, it's just because you really don't like Trump. Which of course comes as a shock to all of us.
