Clinton was held to account.
And CNN, the liberal media, led the way.
This clown now has proven to be much worse.
And he had no problem bringing up Bill Clinton's indiscretions during the 2016 campaign.
Talk about the height of hypocrisy !!

It's thoroughly disgusting.
This humiliating epoch in American history will haunt us for years. 😞

Originally posted by @vivifyUsing your position as president to have an affair with interns and using the Secret service to shield it from the general public seems like a gross misuse of power. The answer is obvious government needs to shrink.

In what way specifically does "shrinking" the government, in and of itself, alleviate the possible abuse of power by the president of the U.S.?
(1) there would be less opportunity for it to abuse its power
(2) it would be easier to monitor its actions
Originally posted by @quackquackParts of the government serve to check and balance the President. If you "shrunk" the government by removing those checks and balances...well even you should be able to figure this out...

Unfortunately, their two Senators each will continue the pork-barrel ear-marking. Oink! Oink!
