My American ass watching other presidents face some form of consequence for wrongdoing…
You’ll never get this, because the Republicans are pro-corruption anyway and the Democrats, while theoretically anti-corruption, will immediately defend corruption as soon as it’s a Democrat doing it. The Democratic Party has zero internal accountability; as soon as you get elected as a Democrat you can actively support shooting your own voters through the head and they will still defend you. There was not a single Democrat who was primaried or recalled or forced into retirement for their support of: the Iraq war, the USA PATRIOT Act, the creation of DHS and ICE, the Hague Invasion Act, the massive domestic spying proposed by GWB and enacted by Obama, the removal of the public option from the ACA, the invasion of Libya, the attempted Nazi coup in Ukraine, the offer to cut Social Security and Medicare in Obama’s “Grand Bargain”, the expansion of fossil fuel extraction under Biden, Biden’s complete abandonment of the science on Covid at corporate request, or the Israeli genocide under Biden.
(The lack of accountability over the Hague Invasion Act — officially “the American Service-Member’s Protection Act” — is particularly appalling. The sole provision of the bill was that if anybody acting on behalf of the U.S. government were to be tried for war crimes, the President was automatically pre-authorized to invade the Hague and forcibly disband the International Criminal Court. The only big-name Democrat in Congress at the time who didn’t voted for it was Pelosi (Sanders voted against it but he is — as Hillary Clinton supporters pointed out ad nauseum — not actually a Democrat); all the others voted for it: Clinton, Kerry, Biden, Schumer… even the supposedly left-leaning Senators like Wellstone and Boxer voted for it. When you consider that this bill was basically a declaration that the US was definitely going to commit war crimes so heinous that the ICC — which for war crimes doesn’t act on anything but the largest, most clear-cut cases — as part of bipartisan support for the ridiculous Iraq invasion (which Democratic voters overwhelmingly did not want but Democratic members of Congress backed), it’s amazing that Democratic voters did not immediately end the careers of every Democrat who voted for it. That list of ‘yea’ votes should have been made into a list of people who were dangerously evil and should never have been trusted with public office ever again. Instead the Democratic Party, who we’re supposed to regard as “the good guys”, the alternative to Trump, nominated 3 of them for President.)
So we end up, all over the map, with “this 76-year-old Democrat who has been in Congress for 30 years is functionally a Reagan Republican except for a couple of very specific issues where they are somewhat more centrist instead, plus several years ago they showed up for a single 15-minute photo opportunity at either a Pride march or a Black Lives Matter event, so you’re never permitted to criticize them, ever, until they actually die in office while voting to approve a Trump nominee”. It’s part and parcel of the “Blue No Matter Who” idiocy — if you won’t hold candidates responsible, you get bad candidates.
I feel like tariffing the "entire world" is literally just functionally sanctioning yourself
JDPON DON STANDS WITH THE ENTIRE WORLD AGAINST THE US MENACE!!! WE WILL UNITE THE GLOBE UNDER A RED BANNER AND SMASH THE TERROR OF THE UNITED STATES ONCE AND FOR ALL. COMMUNISM IS NOT LOVE! COMMUNISM IS A HAMMER, WHICH WE USE TO CRUSH THE ENEMY. 美国去死!!!!

Too bad her prison sentence will be with an ankle monitor, still very funny though. But really they should dump her in some oubliette somewhere. Anyway, fascists always complain about corruption in government and in the EU, because they know about it from personal experience and they think everyone is as corrupt as they are themselves.
A Paris court on Monday, March 31, sentenced far-right leader Marine Le Pen to a five-year ban on running for office with immediate effect, throwing into doubt her bid to stand for president in 2027. The judge also gave her a four-year prison term, two of which suspended with the other two to be served with an electronic tag, drawing immediate criticism from her party and other far-right leaders. Le Pen left the courtroom before the judge announced how long the electoral ban would last and before rulings on a potential prison sentence and fine. The three-time presidential candidate was accused of having hired four fictitious assistants when she was an MEP (2004-2017). In reality, they worked for the Front National (FN). The assistants, who were paid by the European Parliament, carried out tasks linked to the management of the party rather than work related to European parliamentary activity, as is normally required of such positions. In addition to the suspicions of fictitious employment, the court suspects Le Pen of having been at the heart of an organized and centralized "embezzlement system" of money paid by the EU to her party, between 2004 and 2016. Including Le Pen, nine figures from the RN were convicted. Twelve assistants were also convicted of concealing a crime, with the court estimating the scheme was worth €2.9 million.
