You don't find it disturbing that, in a country supposedly under a democratic government, it is more consequential to break into a hotel room than it is  to illegally slaughter innocents by the tens or hundreds of thousands?  That it is more consequential to ask a foreign official to dig up dirt on a political rival than it is to illegally abet genocide?  Murder and genocide seem to be more consequential for those killed, but I suppose their lives don't hold much value in our society.

Russian campaign contributions funneled through the NRA and elsewhere.  A lot of them have fed at that trough and they don't want it to come out.

Articles of impeachment had been accepted by the committee.  Had he not resigned he surely would have been impeached, and no one itt disputes that.  Responding to that tweet with "lol well actually he wasn't impeached" is silly and childish.

WTF does that have to do with anything? A democratic government can do all types of horrific shit to external countries and actors and still be a democracy.

When an elected government tries to prevent political opponents from challenging it, then that government ceases to be democratic.  It isn't "just influencing Ukraine to dig up dirt" or "just breaking into a hotel room." Those are the start of the slippery slope away from democracy. If we allow these actions, then the next steps of illegally arresting or killing political opponents is only right around the corner.  It's a delicate balance that keeps our social compact intact.

Would you say it’s more or less silly than attempting to re-litigate the Vietnam War right now?

What is there to re-litigate?  We murdered tens to hundreds of thousands of Cambodians in an illegal war that was largely responsible for bringing to power one of the most sadistic, blood thirsty regimes in human history.  Our involvement was known prior to Nixon's impeachment but yet only played a very minor role in Nixon's impeachment process.

It matters because what does it say about the values of a society that is unconcerned by the mass murder it routinely commits?  It's not like these things are kept secret.  Under an autocratic government the citizenry doesn't have a say and is thus not responsible for those crimes in the same way as the citizenry under a democratic government, which could theoretically put an immediate stop to it.

It says we are a bloodthirsty society with a complete disregard for "others." Again though, that has nothing to do with us being a democracy. As an electorate, we don't wanna stop the wars.

In case you just woke up from a coma, we've been killing innocent citizens of foreign countries in the name of Freedom for over a century.  It's more American than Apple pie...which is actually German.

What isn't American is using the Office of the President to go after political rivals.

Of course it's disturbing, and I would argue that most here were opposed to both actions. 

What is your ask here? To ignore the laws and rules of our democratic process because there are other examples where they were not followed? 

That is a ridiculous deflection. We should attack both types of lawlessness with equal vigor.

This. One of my Trumpiest Facebook Uncles allegedly fudged his income for years so that his brood could chow down on free school lunches. Surely he’s celebrating this move and, without any sense of irony, bad-mouthing all those welfare cases that mooch off honest Americans.  

Trumpkins are the fucking worst.

The opinions of the ignorant are just as valid as the opinions of the informed. 

Nothing is worth doing unless there's a profit to be made. 

Democracy is fine as long as you're in the majority but if you're in the minority then it must be subverted.

It’s not tinfoil.  There is literally a Russian agent sitting in prison that infiltrated the NRA for the sole purpose of influencing the Republican Party.  It’s insane to think there wasn’t serious money involved in this relationship.
