In those matters, was there outrage from the left and as loud and long for Clinton and Biden* as it was for Trump?

I have been paying attention. Too many times people on the left and right excuse bad behavior by people they agree with ideologically. Its nice to see that sometimes there is actually a line they should not cross.

Frankly anyone anywhere, either running for or currently in any public office calling for violence will not receive my support. Republican or Democrat, doesn't matter. Time to put the pin back in the grenade and calm down.

Why do you ask? Are you outraged about Trump?

Idk, many on the right didn't excuse the bad behavior from the rioters during the "fiery but peaceful" riots of 2020 and the riot on Jan 6. Many of those on the left excused or ignored, or applauded, the bad behavior of those rioters during 2020 but were loud about it with those on Jan 6.

No answer, just questions? Oh well, I guess everyone already knows the answer to my question, that it wasn't as loud or as long.

Trump does a lot of things that irk me, what in particular do you want to know about? (of course, if you want an answer then perhaps you should attempt to answer my question first)

I voted for Clinton but I, like the rest of the nation, was horrified that he lied about his dalliance with Monika Lewinski. He was impeached for it, for God's sake. For having sex with someone.

A few decades later and a different party and I guess he would have been celebrated as the "alpha male" he was for cheating on three wives? And there would be all this proud talk about what a real leader he was and how all the affairs proved he was so strong...ah well. Different times, I suppose.

Was I "outraged" by the rape allegations...I didn't see any proof. I don't know if any of these men raped anyone. I hate having to disbelieve until there is proof but when one is in power, people will make accusations. I don't KNOW about any of those accusations, not for any of the three of them.

And outraged is a weird word. When I hear an accusation I don't flip out and run around screaming and throwing things. So...no. Not outraged. Worried, wondering and seeking proof yea or nea...yes, it is a huge concern when anyone rapes anyone, he or she will do it again and has probably done it before, if he or she has gotten away with it. Once is too many. So...concerned and wanting to know...yes.

So. You weren't outraged? Or you were, or what?

President Clinton was impeached for lying, while under oath.

It’s idiots like this guy that makes me disgusted with the Republican Party. He’s not some unknown fringe candidate that no one has ever heard of- he’s the former governor that resigned in disgrace, accused of spousal abuse. He’s also in the lead to win the Republican Primary.

That campaign ad was so over the top, so moronically juvenile, so violent in its imagery, that it would drive me to vote for the Democrat. And I despise the Democratic Party.
