So God Damn tired of Democrats being held to a high standard while Republican aren't [View all]

As a sitting President, Bill Clinton had to sit through a deposition taken by Ken Star that was designed just to embarrass and humiliate the president, yet George Bush refused to sit under oath with the 911 Commission.

Ken Star and Newt Gingrich were having affairs, as they lead the charge to impeach Bill Clinton.

Susan MacDougal spent time in prison for refusing to testify against Bill Clinton, yet Karl Rove blew off a subpoena of Congress without any consequences.

These Republicans; Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Scott Perry, Andy Biggs, and Mo Brooks, all defied subpoenas of the January 6th Committee, yet the Clintons were threatened with contempt if they did not appear in front of the Epstein Committee.

This BULL SHIT! Do we do it to ourselves? What can't more Americans see the blatant double standard?

This makes me so angry
