they decide to see if they can push even further by declaring a Trans Day of Remembrance in the aftermath of the shooting of three children by one of their Trans Activist supporters; they jailed Doug Mackey for making a meme that disrespected their leader Hillary Clinton; they storm and ransack the Oklahoma Capitol; they emotionally assaulted a 12 year-old who failed to properly respect the dysfunctional adults around him; a day doesn't go by that they don't try to outdo the insanity of the day before.
They keep trying to see how far they can go. They keep dialing up the insanity while simultaneously sealing all routes of legal redress, hoping -- praying -- to provoke a violent reaction. This is exactly what they want and, unfortunately, they're going to get it. They've created a pressure cooker whose only purpose is to get someone to snap. And when it inevitably happens, they'll use the dead bodies as props to entrench their government for the next 50 years.

*500,000, if you wanted an updated figure

Sorry, but I can't take this seriously. The Romans were far more sensible.
The American justice system didn't send Trump to jail for defrauding the investors in his casino of millions. They didn't send Trump to jail for ripping off and shortchanging thousands of contractors and employees over the years. They didn't send Trump to jail for stealing the life savings of thousands of innocent people who signed up for getting an education at his phony "university". All of these things any sensible society would have at least sent him to jail for, if not hanged him. Instead they let him run for office, attempt to destroy the system of alliances that keeps the world in one piece, defraud the taxpayers of hundreds of thousands if not millions by forcing government travelers to stay in his overpriced hotels, attempt to subvert an election, start a riot in the Capitol.
Now they might finally send him to jail for getting some professional attention for his little willie and paying the girl from his corporate account, which pretty much every businessman does.
Don't get me wrong -- I very much want to see the bastard in jail, and I don't really care what excuse is used. But it really holds up a mirror to the ridiculous state of American politics that after all his thousands of heinous crimes, the first one that might see him in jail is a simple case of paying a call girl from company funds.

No Roman leader was ever ousted for something so stupid. Roman officials were murdered, assassinated, arrested, deposed and otherwise dealt with for serious stuff -- for thieving, for being too cruel, for losing wars, for plotting against their friends. To the best of my knowledge no Roman official was ever deposed for getting a call girl sent to the palace.

No, but technically she didn't blackmail him. She wanted to make some money selling her story to a tabloid. It was Trump's idea to outbid the tabloids and pay her off. She didn't ask him for the money.

A whore is a whore, no doubt. But I'd rather hang out with a whore than a thief, any day.

I admitted he was worse IMO.
I’m not judging her for being a whore.

Jim have you considered you may have some displaced anger towards your wife that you haven't fully come to terms with?
