I’m not sure why you think releasing a book after you leave office is remotely comparable to using the office to funnel taxpayer money into your own businesses, your friends and family’s business, solicit blatant bribes from both corporations and foreign countries, manipulating the stock market to enable insider trading, and on top of all that making bets on your own actions…
The corruption of previous presidents has begat the corruption of this one. Not comparable obviously, but here we are defending the presidency of Kodos while Kang robs us blind. Stop whatabouting the democrats being the controlled opposition in the control of the oligarchy.
