I'm not quite sure why it's so important for some here to believe that the Clintons are fine, upstanding, law-abiding people. Why is that so important to you? We all know Trump is a crook and so are the Clintons, but why is it so hurtful for some here to come to those terms? Do you feel some special kinship with them? I know we have many lawyers here, but does anyone have a psychological background that can tell us about this syndrome? Is it similar to cult followers idolizing their leader?
It's actually kinda cute watching you bring your naivete (to put it generously) and lack of self-awareness to this board now that you have a kid who attends Cal. It's almost like having a kid in Berkeley gave you the courage to leave your conservative bubble in Arizona or wherever you're actually from, and now you just go about flailing with your incessant parroting of right-wing talking points but can't figure out why people are calling you out on the utter lack of logic or basis behind almost everything you say here.
"I'm not quite sure why it's so important for some here to believe that the Clintons are fine, upstanding law-abiding people."As Eastern Oregon Bear already noted,
you are the one who keeps running with the whataboutism on the Clintons when the topic is Trump's own morally deficient if not outright criminal behavior. How about "I'm not quite sure why it's so important for LMK5 to believe that Trump is a terrible human being who shouldn't be anywhere near any levers of power?"
"We all know Trump is a crook..." This... is not at all what you were suggesting when you laughably (couldn't think of a stronger word) claimed that no one has ever dragged Trump into court. And if you know Trump is a crook, why are you so frequently eager to go out of your way to toe the Trump party line? What does that say about you?
"... and so are the Clintons..."Because Fox News told you so? Because your conservative bubble brethren have repeated as such ad nauseum for nearly 30 years? While I would concede that their political records aren't perfect, please do tell, what warts do either of the Clintons have that are especially unique to them and has actually been borne out in verifiable fact?
"Do you feel some special kinship with them?"Personally, no I don't, because their lived lives are nothing like mine, but you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone here who goes out of their way to defend any of their moral shortcomings the way you and your brethren do with Trump.
"I know we have many lawyers here, but does anyone have a psychological background that can tell us about this syndrome?"While you would never admit it, something tells me that you are intimidated to have an actual intellectual fact-based discussion and are simply hoping that someone else can come in and back you up on points that you clearly don't have the ability to back up yourself.
"Is it similar to cult followers idolizing their leader?"Well that's rich coming from someone who would very obviously do whatever he could to keep in power someone whose own following is the biggest mass cult anyone has ever seen in American history.
