Clearly the documentation I dealt with daily was a hallucination. I'm sorry to defy your superior set of facts.

But it gets it wrong TOO! You could be leaning absolute gibberish.

He clearly violated the letter and spirit of the law with the attack on Panama. According to historians. The prevailing analysis I've heard is that both parties didn't want to impeach him because the fallout from Nixon was considered too big a national problem to revisit.

HW Bush proved a president can without any repercussions no matter how illegally the war is declared. We lost that power check a long time ago.

At this rate someone's going to feel legally justified to defend themselves and others with lethal force from potential criminals.

Child sexual abuse has the same elements of rape, in fact some people who have raped children choose the victim not because of sexual attraction, but because the child was an ideal victim. Rape isn't sex. Child sexual abuse may be about sexual attraction to a degree, but people who go that route aren't doing so out of horny feelings. Abusers can spend years gaining access to victims, confusing rape and abuse with normal sexual desire is a common mistake, and a big part of excusing rape. Abusers and potential abusers don't stop because they can act out their desire alone or view related images, but it's shown repeatedly that therapy is effective.

The danger is in sexualizing children, it's not a normally occurring part of human sexuality, and if people can sexualize children easily that can lead to sexual abuse of actual children, and that's always harmful, seems like a 2=2 type of thing to say, but it is. Anyway, modern psychology shows that therapy for people who do sexualize children, who haven't actually abused any children in any way, are unlikely to ever abuse children, so the doll or child sex abuse images, or other 'outlets' of sexual behavior aren't shown to reduce the likelihood of sexual abuse, but therapy does. They don't need sex dolls, they need therapy. And then maybe a healthy sex life with an adult.

Violating decency is a big part of populism, which is what trumpism is all about.

I don't care. It's my family and friends this is happening to, no one deserves this, at some point I'd like to think he realized how deeply ignorant and stupid he was supporting this, but no matter the victim, it's wrong. Wrong is wrong.

I don't wish this on anyone no matter how stupid they are. He also was likely beaten and tortured.

Sounds like someone didn't learn the 80/20 ratio
