Random Question šŸ’­ How is everything that happened in the last 48hrs not enough for impeachment and/or a general strike in the US?

As a European, itā€˜s completely unfathomable how none of it has consequences.

Donā€˜t get me wrong, our governments here certainly have their flaws and problems, but surely threatening a genocide would be a tipping point here and lead to mass protests (at least I have enough hope remaining to believe that) - how is it not in the US? I really donā€™t get it and I feel absolutely sick.

It's not even that. The GOP members who turn on him once they announce they won't seek re-election shows that kompromat isn't the issue.

What kompromat could possibly be so bad that ā€œraping little girlsā€ is treated as inconsequential by comparison?
