Re: US Politics Thread
Yeah he was investigated during both terms start to finish but we didn't overdose on the coverage. There wasn't a feeding frenzy going on. Other than the big dogs like Lewinsky and Whitewater, you had to be really interested in politics to know about the other issues plaguing the Clintons.
It simply doesn't compare to the Trump coverage. Last year CNN had breaking news regarding Trump walking up a flight of stairs and taking a drink of water. We're scraping the bottom of the barrel when news is reduced to covering such non issues.
haha, yea right. It's all everybody talked about.
Of course everybody talked about it but it wasn't the only thing being talked about. Off the top of my head other major stories at the time were the Iraq crisis, Unabomber, Kosovo started heating up, the Titanic craze, the Olympics got major attention, World Cup, etc.
It was still an era where you could turn on the news and multiple things were being covered. The internet had yet to become the monster it currently is.
Turn on the news right now. Pick any channel. I guarantee its a panel of talking heads whining about Trump. Turn it on again in six hours. Pick any channel. I guarantee its another panel of talking heads whining about Trump.
That wouldn't be the case in 1998 during the Lewinsky nonsense.

Watching Trump... I have to admit, he cracks me up.
No doubt. He is funny as hell sometimes.

We do understand Amazon doesn't pay a federal internet sales tax or allow third party vendors, half their sales, pay taxes, right? They are working to create a drone delivery service to completely bypass using our mail service, I think that should he mentioned. It wasn't long ago where despite your political leaning there were a lot of concerns about Amazon.

I guess my question is...what exactly are you laughing at? The obvious lies he tells? His inappropriate behavior?
I can see how it might be funny until you stop and think about it.
