@Artyom @seaQueue American politics is literally everything you see in every heist/longcon/grifter movie. If you act like you belong, people will just assume you belong. Donald Trump didn't act like he was guilty, so people just assumed he wasn't guilty. Doesn't matter how much evidence you throw at them. If he was wrong and guilty he would have left. And that's without getting into the financial incentives other people have to lie and play along.
@Artyom @seaQueue The American political system is in many ways supposed to be self-correcting. There's no real mechanisms. Except that which are enforced. I always used to wonder about this when learning about politics in school. It seemed like anyone could do anything but I just assumed everyone was smarter than me. So what happens is people do things and they expect you to be so embarrassed you bow out. And that's fine for most people except extremely insane people like Trump.

Diarrhea fuel garbage pits. With food so disgusting you shouldn't even feed it to the stray dog that bit your baby.
On our national deal hunting website you can see all the "It gives you diarrhea comments" every time there's a coupon for McDonalds or franchised Shawarma
this is hilarious fellow millennial, because I just went to Red Lobster today and had a great time.
Of course this was the first time I've been in 20+ years so it's not like I'm a regular.
