Says who? That doesn't happen in politics every single day? Votes are paid for by favors every single day.

You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you are capable of great violence.
If you are incapable of violence, you are not peaceful, you are just harmless.

How come it's not valid to ask why Trump is obviously being held to a different standard than Obama? Instead of responding with "but Obama", how about either admitting that there is a double standard, or kindly explaining why the specific comparison isn't valid?

"But Obama" is a lazy excuse for small people who know they've been caught in hypocrisy, but won't admit it. That's all it is...

OK, casting couch is illegal.

But it's not illegal in politics, for one politician to tell anther, "I'll vote for your bill if you vote for my bill." That's also a quid pro quo, happens every single day.

you are mischaracterizing the call as schiff did to suit your agenda...he was looking for evidence of crimes...as the democrats now claim to be doing...they won't find any but Barr and Durham will have a LONG list
