@Artyom@seaQueue The American political system is in many ways supposed to be self-correcting. There’s no real mechanisms. Except that which are enforced. I always used to wonder about this when learning about politics in school. It seemed like anyone could do anything but I just assumed everyone was smarter than me. So what happens is people do things and they expect you to be so embarrassed you bow out. And that’s fine for most people except extremely insane people like Trump.
@Artyom@seaQueue American politics is literally everything you see in every heist/longcon/grifter movie. If you act like you belong, people will just assume you belong. Donald Trump didn’t act like he was guilty, so people just assumed he wasn’t guilty. Doesn’t matter how much evidence you throw at them. If he was wrong and guilty he would have left. And that’s without getting into the financial incentives other people have to lie and play along.
@Artyom@seaQueue The only real surprise is that it never happened sooner. A probability so unlikely it probably happened sooner and it just got covered up.
Ah, yes, the pinnacle of respect: grabbing them by the pussy
Still confused why that fiasco didn’t end his political career forever.
Comey came out days later and said Hillary was under Federal investigation while completely omitting that Trump was under federal investigation.
This fully eclipsed the grab them by the pussy tape.

Cuz it was locker room talk about whore women that let you do exactly what he said. (Definitely not defending this guy).
