WTF difference does your Whataboutism make?

All it does is avoid the current point by claiming hypocrisy. Unless you mean to say that it's OK because someone else did it. How many times does this need to be explained to you?

See if you can't make a comment about the points in the article.

from The Bulwark article:

"Once, if a president or his subordinates wanted to cover up a problem, even a crime, they made labored efforts at obfuscation and concealment. Coverups were, as the term implies, pursued under the cover of darkness.

That's why the Washington Post, with the experience of Watergate in mind, came up at the beginning of Trump's first term with the slogan "Democracy Dies in Darkness." But that slogan applies to a different era.

Now Ghislaine Maxwell, one of two organizers of a massive and horrendous child sex trafficking ring of which Donald Trump appears to have had considerable contemporaneous knowledge, meets with the deputy attorney general of the United States"who had previously been Trump's private lawyer"and the White House openly embraces it.

A week later, contrary to the normal rules for a prisoner convicted of her crimes, Maxwell is transferred to a minimum security "Club Fed" facility. This was presumably as a down payment on not spilling the beans about Trump, and perhaps as an interim step on the way to a pardon.

This coverup is happening in broad daylight."

Sad that Trump and MAGA are SO evil as to make Bloody Bill Kristol et al sound like the decent people in the room.

"The end of democracy and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations."

- Thomas Jefferson

"This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes again"

The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite.

Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

The cornerstone of democracy rests on the foundation of an educated electorate.

The country is headed toward a single and splendid government of an aristocracy founded on banking institutions and moneyed incorporations and if this tendency continues it will be the end of freedom and democracy, the few will be ruling...I hope we shall...crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations which dare already to challenge our government to trial and bid defiance to the laws of our country.

I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.
