I mean…at the very least it’s consistant. I never had an issue with Bill Clinton getting a BJ. I felt like Hillary should have the right to be mad, but everyone else should fuck off.
The right on the other hand lost their shit. They made it into a 4 year big deal. If Bill had just told the truth on the stand, that he got sucked off and loved it, then they’d have no tools to impeach him. But to them the sexual deviancy was the big deal to them.
I guess same here. They don’t care about laws or the country, but if you include sexual misdoings, they faint like a karen in a church seeing people outside having fun.
That’s just a facade they put up in public. Newt Gingrich lead the charge on that impeachment and at the time was cheating on his wife (later to deliver her divorce papers at the hospital where she was receiving cancer treatments and leaving her and their children completely broke).
Furthermore, you can look at all the scandals with organizations like the Boy Scouts of America or the Catholic church and they still get unwavering support from the right.
They always denied it was about the sex though. Even at the time. We all knew it was, but they constantly were claiming it was about lying on the stand.
And then Larry Flynt inadvertently helped them on that front when trying to shame them by putting out a report detailing all the Republican congresspeople who had affairs. I appreciate what he tried to do, but that made it even easier for them to say it wasn’t about the sex since no one got rid of them for an affair.
It was about the letter after his name. If sex was illegal (and I think sex with subordinates often should be), they would have gone for that. Lying under oath is illegal, so they went for that. This wasn’t some principled mission, this was to stop the guy they disagreed with using whatever would stick.
Like stormy. He doesn’t say he didn’t pay the media to influence an election. Apparently he thinks that part was ok. He throws a fit saying he didn’t have sex with her.
Crazy that the line is at sexual misconduct but undermining a democracy is ok.

It’s not though. See Thomas. Also the seemingly never ending parade of GOP officials.
If it’s their team it’s NBD, I’m very surprised this has had any consequences. I bet it’s more he bit the hand that fed him.
If it’s their team it’s fake news

You’d think they’d have a problem with mr 34 felonies being a rapist and paying a pornstar for sex while his pregnant wife was at home.

Sexual misconduct isn’t slowing Trump down.
Ahh, but there was money involved! See?
Crazy that there’s a line at all anymore.
