    I keep hearing it said by the right on this forum that "Obama is corrupt".

    Y'all have no clue as what real corruption is:

    Feast your eyes on this exhibit. And it's all possible because republicans in the senate are invertebrate cowards who are afraid to stand up to Trump, for fear of mean tweets, bullying, being primaryed.

    I'll make a prediction, it's all crap. Just like the 8 investigations on Hillary, taking 4 years, and at the end of it all, ZERO.

    I voted for Bernie. But Biden is still better than Trump. His house is a house of cards and the dealer is playing '52 card pick up'.

    “I supported Bernie, but now since I have no moral
    Compass I’m going to support a corrupt neoliberal hack, who voted to authorize the Iraq war, and generally has made bad decisions thru his four decades in politics, because he’s not trump. Let’s not forget his mental capacity that equates him to a bowl of oatmeal. Hand me more of that blue team koolaid, chug chug chug!!”

    And yes, there is a tape of Trump condoning the war.

    But who bamboozled congress into approving the war? A REPUBLICAN.

    Let's get something straight. I"m not voting for Biden, I've voting AGAINST Trump.

    And you're voting for Trump? He's the guy who.....

    I might be drinking Kool aid, but you're drinking KOOK-AID.

    It's going to be a simple question for voters come November ... Are you better off now or were you better off before Trump took office?
    Bottom line economy. Depends on how quickly the world economy recovers.

    The bad character flaws of both these candidates pretty much cancels each other out.
    We'll se who Biden picks as a running mate. Pence is pretty much a non-factor.

    I don’t disagree with your point, actually I’m pretty sure you nailed it.
    But, how did democrats get to this point?
    There was a whole clown car full of democrats that were ten times better than Biden, that’s even going for the hacks,, and there were a couple good ones. So how is it, that we have people doing mental gymnastics to justify Biden being the nominee?
    Is “Well, he’s not Trump” a winning strategy in your opinion?
    In your opinion, did democrats learn anything from 2016? I don’t think “our flawed candidate is better than their flawed candidate” is going to fly. I don’t know, maybe that’s just me.

    They did not end up zero. They just weren't prosecuted.

    “Acting ‘corruptly" means acting with an improper purpose and to engage in conduct knowingly and dishonestly with the specific intent to subvert, impede or obstruct the relevant proceeding

    As an initial matter, the term “corruptly” sets a demanding standard. It requires a concrete showing that a person acted with an intent to obtain an “improper advantage for [him]self or someone else, inconsistent with official duty and the rights of others.

    Please, demonstrate the corruption you claim.
    Note the use of the word "demonstrate" - your opinions, suppositions, prejudices, and fallacies need not apply.

    Only one disagreement. Republicans in the Senate are not invertebrate cowards. They’re all in. We need to stop making excuses for them.

    I thought consensual sex was just fine with the left and Cohen went to jail over things that had nothing to do with Trump.

    Can you imagine what would have happened if Obama had paid off porn stars for sex while Michelle was at home taking care of their new-born child - holy crap, the world would have blown up. The Evangelicals would have called for his head. But with Trump, it's just Trump being Trump.

    Trump's supporters forgive him because they knew Trump was a dick head when they elected him ... never once asking themselves if that's really OK.

    Yes.
    The Democrats and the media would have ignored it.

    Bull crap.

    And it's bad form to edit someone else's posts.
