Are Donald Trump and William Barr really corrupt?

[Evangelicalhumanist]

I just saw this video, and haven't had time to really chase down all the trails, but it looks pretty convincing to me. This is about the firing of us attorney Berman, why and how, and how John Bolton's book seems to provide evidence to back up the claims. If true, then I really do think that after January, Trump and Barr will be facing criminal investigation and likely prosecution.

Drat! You beat me to it. I even had this link copied for posting.....might as well not waste it.

He is, they are both corrupt. We have all known this since the 1990’s. It was laid bare in the 2015 campaign. Only those suckered in by his con actually voted for him. It is a sad statement about human lack of wisdom, as well as American biases and apathy along with a corrupt political system (the electoral college) that allowed a minority of the millions of US voters to put the senile conman into power.

Again, yes. Blatantly corrupt.

It seems to me that projection is the signature response of the Trump promoter.

"Everybody is corrupt" comes from the same basket of deplorable quotes that gave us "there are good people on both sides." Both serve to blur the vulgar malignancy that infects this country.

I see it more as an observation than a projection.

I think some people can hide their corruption better than others. After all we're talking about collective human nature here.

Do you know how it makes you look when you dismiss/downplay crime and corruption based on the political affiliation of those involved? Have some self respect and pry your tongue off of his boots.

Recognizing the problem is the first step toward a solution. If, in the coming election, my choice is between Biden or Trump, I feel like I'm being given the choice between Dumb and Dumberer. Which is the same choice I've been given in every election since I was old enough to vote.

Do you recognize that our problem is that democratic elections are a poor way to choose the people who will make policy decisions for our nation?

(Yes, I do realize that throughout history people have tried worse ways to choose leaders.)

I'm going to take this as "I'm corrupt, and I assume that everyone is like me."

False equivalence. There are different levels of corruption. This regime in the WH is more corrupt than any of our previous presidents. By a long shot.

I suppose corruption is strictly in the eyes of the beholder.

Well we all know about equality. Good with the bad.

Speak only for yourself. There are those who live their lives with integrity, or at least try to.

If you were to assert that people have positive and negative sides, sure. But to assert that all people are corrupt and that even saints are utterly corrupt --- that's just totally wrong.

Depends if the charges being laid are based on facts and court documents. I've got some documents that show Donald was corrupt before running for office. Wouldn't that concern you when voting for a person? Corruption?
You can say Hillary is more corrupt, but you don't see evidence and her corruption is strictly in the eyes of the beholder. I prefer facts over feelings.
