Sadly, too true.

I’m not saying that we should adopt a standard of turning a blind eye to misdeeds in office by politicians or other civil servants until there has been a conviction, for we should have learned by now that these people protect each other, not just Democrats, when it is to their mutual enrichment. That’s what makes for a deep state to begin with.

But “the seriousness of the charges” — which should go both ways — should involve much more than conflicting claims of two people concerning one event, especially when one claims witnesses that then support the other.

The corruption of the Clintons is a good example:

Bill Clinton was unlike Gary Hart, who was caught changing “his mind about offshore drilling”, in that his actions involved many more women and he was different from Kavanaugh in that his flings were current, even the accused rapes (the witnesses backed them up too) ... BUT it wasn’t about the sex.

You see, the influential journalist who decided to protect Clinton in ‘92 to prevent a rerun of Gary Hart’s fall and a second Bush term, must have soon discovered that Clinton’s muck went far deeper than being a cad and bounder (or Hillary than just being a money grubbing shrew) but they were already committed. And once they helped a Democrat win they soon had many more journalist onboard with them. To listen to the Left it was all about sex because they have trusted the media that buried everything else, at least to the satisfaction of the Clinton loyalists.

The standard being offered by the Democrats is not about patterns of corruption in office but is about trumped up assertions, even entirely absent allegations of additional misdeeds, that fall apart the closer you look at them. As with the “serious charges” involving the elder Bush, the effort is all about the accusers simply being accepted, something the Democrats would never accept when a Democrat is charged, especially spuriously.

But we are to just roll over or we’re bad people.

Well, guess what? They think we’re bad people already. They always will. It’s kinda one of their first principals (blast from the past: how modern liberals think by Evan Sayet: https://youtube.com/watch?v=eaE98w1KZ-c ) This is why it’s so pointless to seek their approval as do many Republicans in office do.
