re: #122 HappyWarrior

Yeah I’m convinced now that you don’t know your history. I’m sorry to come off dismissive but two members of Nixon’s DOJ resigned rather than fire Cox. Tell me, is there anyone in Trump’s administration would resign rather than fire Mueller? And that Georgia governor said that in the 20’s not pre-civil war. The Klan didn’t exist until after the Civil War ended. Again, where is the widespread corruption at every single cabinet department in previous adminisrations? You’re pointing out what I already have and have no problem acknowledging that corruption and bigotry have been a staple on right wing administrations. Where I dispute you is you wanting to act like this isn’t any different. Yes, it is. The president’s daughter is advising him on who should head the World Bank. The president is constantly raging if he doesn’t get his way. Again, my point remains this, it’s not that the past ones were NOT awful, it’s that this one is really fucking awful.

Scratch “pre-.”

Did you miss all the corruption in Reagan’s cabinet?

As for people resigning rather than carry out orders they feel are unlawful, have you noticed the boards of resignations Rachel Maddow used to put up, until she had no more room?

Do you remember the outrage at Bill Clinton because his wife was advising him on health care policy?

Yes, this one is really awful, probably the worst of any. I didn’t dispute that. I simply pointed out he could not have gotten here without the historical context of every other corrupt Republican administration.

I think we’re coming at the same result from different directions here.
