“Republicans were relieved that he was eating with a knife and fork,’’ David Axelrod cracked about the debate. “But it was still the same meal.’’ I think that pretty much sums it up along with Mr. Jones’ cartoon.
The Democrats have always let the Republicans get away with the dubiously legal crap they pull when in office. This is possible because the Republicans cooperate by attempting to cover it up first. Once the Democrats are back in power, they have to try to accomplish something before they lose that power, and they have to have to try to get along with the Republicans who are still in the Senate and HofR in order to do that. No Republican is innocent, even those who just went along to get along. And, the Democrats realize that exposing governmental misconduct does not inspire confidence in the government, either from American voters or from the world as a whole.
Trump is a whole different situation. First, there is nothing remotely dubious about whether his activates are illegal. Second, he not only doesn’t attempt to cover them up, he announces them on television, recorded forever. Of course, he probably is covering some things up, which is mind boggling, since what he brags about it pretty awful.
At any rate, the Democrats are put in the position of being unable to ignore Trump’s illegal activates. If they do, they align themselves with the “go along to get along” crowd. That undermines any remaining confidence in our entire government, and creates a situation that is scarier than the results of letting the Republicans get what they deserve.
It just occurred to me, reading the comments, that the only reason he behaved himself was to avoid the infuriating, frustrating, YOU-CAN’T-DO-THAT-TO-ME!!! moment of being forcibly shut up by having his mic muted. I don’t believe anyone’s done that to him since he hit the air and began breathing.

Poop fights between the monkeys at the zoo, are better ran than trumps administration. Less corrupt and smell better.
When trump is out of the white house, how will they get the smell of failure and corruption out of the place.

Maybe Drumpf’ll think he’s Martin Luther and nail 95 of them on a church door. With Drumpf, that’s the closest to theses he can get.
