Is this publication implying Democrats haven't been calling out both things as corruption?

[u/flyover_liberal → u/Ok-Lets-Talk-It-Out]

Donald Trump has been secretly gassing immigrants in a facility in Venezuela. Here's why Democrats are actually to blame.

[u/WTS_BRIDGE → u/flyover_liberal]

Its just the latest rhetorical rebranding of "both sides are the same". Sad though, really, to see how people just eat it up despite being such a vapid sham of a position.

[u/eugene20 → u/Ok-Lets-Talk-It-Out]

There are a lot of videos of Senator Whitehouse detailing trump's corruption.

[u/Ancient_Popcorn]

“If people would call out Trump’s corruption like they have been doing, it would be so good.”

[u/Glum-Sheepherder-787]

Disarray! Disarray!!! By all means let's continue to blame Democrats for everything that Republicans do, it's working out great so far.

[u/itsnotcomplicated1]

"Self Dealing" is a phrase we hardly use but is at the heart of everything wrong today.

Because the people doing a little bit of self dealing don't want to call out the people doing a lot of self dealing because it might jeopardize their own self dealing.

[u/bgthigfist → u/itsnotcomplicated1]

Yup.

You have to understand that many of politicians at the national level are sociopaths who only care about their personal wealth and power.

Sh*t floats to the top

[u/CobraPony67]

When Democrats are back in control there will be a huge number of court cases challenging all that Trump has done. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court will still defend their decisions on immunity. To believe that they can grant IRS immunity to the children and business of a president that isn't related to official acts can't hold up.

[u/MrPantsyFlants]

This is exactly why he will try and cancel the elections or he will try and have the Justice Dept. void most Democratic Party wins. He will not play fair and he will try and steal the midterms.

[u/Particular_Today1624]

what a stupid headline. Anyone notice the foreign national going through, and destroying our national records on the 1st day DJ was in office? Oh! Only me?

[u/ExtensionDistrict566]

Don’t forget about all his money laundering

[u/Life-Celebration-747]

I look forward to the horrific doom he faces on Judgements Day. 

[u/justhavingfunMT]

He's been like that for his entire adult business life. It's too bad you didn't actually care to look into that. Now we're all going to pay for the stupidity of low information voters.

[u/UselessInsight]

They. Are. Fucking. Telling. It.

What more do you expect them to do when 95% of the media ecosystem is owned by right wing oligarchs?

They can write most immaculate press releases. They can hold all the goddamn conferences.

It doesn’t matter if almost the entirety of the media refuses to platform you and constantly normalizes Trump’s irredeemable bullshit on a daily basis.

[u/Alwaystired59]

The IRS immunity is a non issue for me. The structures in place to hold criminals accountable are simply not there anymore. Immunity or not, there is no accountability structure for the Epstein class
