FDR, JFK, Bill Clinton - what do they have in common?
All had mistresses while holding the office of the President. All Democrats. Trump is often condemned for previous acts but all three of these Democratic Presidents performed adultery while being the President. Some of these acts in the White House itself. Let’s also not forget about Teddy Kennedy, not only did he have an affair but refused to save his intern when he was driving drunk, ran the car into a lake and then ran home to the Kennedy Compound as she drowned.
It amazes me how 1 party is fast to throw stones at Trump but never recognizes its own failures. Many powerful men have affairs, non disclosure agreements but Biden’s DOJ took the last year to weaponize it. The Hypocrisy is blinding.

They are all further to the political right than the Democrat Party is today.

They embraced our Constitution and their oaths of office.

FDR's racial internment camps are constitutional? Would you say same thing if Trump set them up?

WW II is not “Build that Wall!”
Fresh lettuce. Fresh towels.
I am begging Trump 2.0 to go full speed ahead on Mass Deportation. It will greatly help in 2026.
It’s not, but FDR was hardly respectful of the Constitution in putting American citizens in
Internment camps while stealing their property. Nor was the later great champion of Constitutional rights and then GOP governor of California, Earl Warren. Those are facts and a great stain on his legacy.
Trump is not on the same planet as FDR. That is the point.
I am not going to let a piece of shit like Ned suggest that Trump’s plan to intern illegal immigrants makes him FDR.
The internment of the Japanese during WW II is indeed a stain on American values, but what Trump and his racist agenda are about to unleash, is not 1940s WW II.
It is just about cruelty and hatred.
Not disagreeing, but FDR could play fast and loose with the Constitution when it suited his needs.
And the Japanese-American internment is one of the biggest stains ever on our civil liberties record. Shit they were our fellow citizens and we locked them up because of their ancestry only. Completely disgraceful. None of that justifies or compares to Orange especially during wartime. We need to own it when lecturing other nations, and I don’t believe FDR embraced the Constitution when it counted.
this is a great question to which you will get no answer.

Yes, but conor indicates above that he has different standards for Dems than GOP. Hypocrite.

How could you possibly omit LBJ?
He may well have been the most prolific of them all.
Easy, womanizers. FDR must have been quite kinky, wheelchair and all.

I don’t think even Clinton or JFK assaulted 28 women.

But Clinton almost certainly raped Juanita Broaddrick
Her story and timeline are extremely believable, yet the left ignored it.
I think he did and didn’t ignore it or say differently. You people though are just like the left in
your willfully blind defense of this creep. Interesting that they were close pals at that time.
They would be decleared to assault 280 women had they run today and got Trump treatment.
Both womanizers wouldn't survive politically under this me too movement. For money or for fame, many women they touched would play victim card.
As usual, you miss the point entirely. Clueless on steroids, killer.

The point for those with pea sized brains is that Orange is way worse than any of those 3 morally.

280 vs 28, who is worse morally? It's your teeny brain that couldn't understand my point.

You have no point. None of them assaulted 280 women in an era where you could get away with it
easier, pea brain.
How do you these 2 womanizers? Clinton, young, charming, popular in office for 8 years in Arkansas
Use today's standard, if you kiss women cheek, that's assault, not just improper action. If you really want a fair apple to apple contest, how do you know clinton didn't assault women more than Trump?
Go away loser. Orange’s were real assaults. He described his style in the AH tape.

Indeed, and the GOP followed that script perfectly with Orange.
Remember your party wanted to impeach Clinton for lying about sex.
Both parties lack principles, because they are both built to obtain and retain power.
List of people in politics that I think have actual principles and are in it for more than just power (this will be controversial, it is just my opinion and off the top of my head):
Bernie Sanders
Joe Manchin
Kyrsten Sinema
Tim Walz
Tulsi Gabbard
RFK Jr
Vivek Ramaswamy
AOC and the squad
Dean Phillips
Doug Burgum
Any 3rd party candidate for president (because you have no shot at actually winning)
