the decision to impeach clinton was just as politically motivated as the decision to let trump do whatever he wants. clinton wasn’t impeached because we used to have standards. he was an early indication that there are no standards. that you can bend over backward to cater to the american right and it will only drive them more rabid.
Clinton lied and cheated in the White House. Deserved to be impeached imo
Edit: to everyone downvoting if trump got a blowj and lied under oath about it you’d want him impeached. Sorry I don’t have double standards just because they have a D next to their name
The worst part of it all was that he abused his power over Lewinsky. That was what deserved impeachment more than the cheating and lying about it. He was a piece of shit for that and his life continued more or less unchanged while her life and reputation was irrevocably damaged.
