When you dismiss one thing how do you justify outrage over related things that follow?

Example.. Bill Clinton's extra marital sexual activity, while president, dismissed. Trump's sexual vulgarity, before politics, cause for outrage. Clinton was even accused of rape! Go figure.

    Well, dismissing stupidity does not eliminate it.

  • Could say the same thing for those who were outraged by Bill Clinton and dismiss Trump's behavior as "locker room talk".

    People only care when "the other side" is doing something wrong. When it's one of their own, they go to great lengths to defend them and dismiss what happened.  This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at April 20, 2017 9:12 PM MDT

    Bill was ACCUSED of rape. Guilty until proven innocent? Monica never claimed coercion. He was guilty of adultery but not much else.
    Trump, on the other hand, bragged about abusing his position of power. Clinton never stated, on or off the record, that "grabbing her by the pussy" was an appropriate course of action.

    Nobody wants to impeach Trump for that comment either - they have plenty of other grounds. Emoluments, libel, treason, racketeering and interfering with public records for starters.

    More than one accused him of sexual assault. Where there's smoke there is fire ;)

    Likewise if you throw enough mud, some will stick.

  • Bill Clinton went on the telly and lied about his relationship with Monica, he was most emphatic and then he had to backtrack and admit he lied. He didn't just commit adultery he lied to the entire country.
