So what happens is the magnifying glass and every kind of hyperbole is used for one side, and it allows us to easily dismiss the other. Rinse and repeat.
The two examples i posted aren't even similar. Every president has to negotiate with foreign leaders. Catching Obama (or Trump) on a "hot mic" telling someone "once i am elected i will be more flexible with negotiations" is fine. Actually its a good thing. Putting the other leader at ease by letting them know that you want to make a deal.
What Trump is accused of doing is blackmailing a foreign leader into going after the son of one of his political opponents.
Don’t misunderstand me, I think they are all the same. I just think it’s disingenuous to get your panties all worked up, and then essentially say the other side did no wrong.
They are not all the same. In the example you posted Obama did nothing wrong. In the example i posted Trump did do something wrong. Its why the impeachment process has begun.
They are all crooks and liars.
Maybe. That doesn't mean that the two examples here are similar.
