It is remarkable, breathtaking, stunning to see what trump supporters

will excuse and ignore.

One one hundredth of the scandals, crimes, cohort indictments would not just sink an Obama or Clinton permanently in American politics, but they would be hunted down by deplorables who excuse this in trump.

No democrat could ever run again with the tiniest fraction of this occurring.

Today, like everyday, new charges, new indictments. Can you imagine ONE issue like this for a democrat, let alone hundreds?

Must be the M$M, which does not go after them for things but does when it is a Democrat.

Mostly along the unimaginative path you've outlined: "Oh, it's no big deal, the latest Trump scandal." "Really? Because I remember you and your ilk coming unglued when Obama recorded an anodyne 'stay in school and study hard' message for schoolkids. Now you'll swallow this steaming mound of bullshit in one gulp and pronounce it no big deal."

and dems must follow them but no matter how well they do that it is not good enough

GOP does not have to follow them, nobody insists they do including the MSM. They can and do break the law, steal, lie and kill and nothing will be done.

sociopath and psychopath.

He knows nothing, absolutely nothing about real estate, business, restaurants or golf courses.

Never has, never will. Which is why he owes Putin 1.7 billion and is now owned by him.

I didn't have much respect for their mental acuity before this, but good grief. This goes beyond willful blindness into willful stupidity.
