A Case for why Democratic can never just "Move On" from Trump's numerous crimes [View all]

Republicans not being punished or only being slapped on the wrist for their crimes has been a theme for almost 60 years:

* in 1968, the Nixon campaign cut a deal with South Vietnamese government to kill the Paris Peace Talks.

* 1972-1975: Watergate participants are only given relatively light sentences and Gerald Ford famously pardons criminal president Richard Nixon

* In 1980, the Reagan campaign cuts a deal to keep the hostages in Iran until AFTER the 1980 election. This begins the flow of arms to Iran, which leads to the Iran/Contra scandal

* In 1990, AG Bill Barr quitely facilitates George H. Bush's pardons of key Iran/Contra figures

* George W. Bush and Dick Cheney lie American into the Iraq War. In 2007, Nancy Pelosi declares, "Impeachment is off the table."

* in 2007 Karl Rove blows off a subpoena of Congress without any consequences.

* 2015-the Present Criminal Trump:

Trump coludes with Russia, pays off a pornstar, is convicted of business fraud, leads an insurrection to overthrow the government because he can't handle that he lost an election, creates an ICE Gestapo force that litetally murders US Citizens, illegal grifts billions of dollars fof himself and his family, obstructs justice to cover up his crimes as a child rapist and sex trafficer, and illegally bombs a sovereign nation without provocation.

ENOUGH! Fully proscute criminal Republicans because by not doing so, they become even more embolden the next time!
