The next time someone says the parties are the same…

Well…you know, I’m getting sick and tried of the news media and almost everyone else saying there is no difference between the political parties here in the US. There is a difference, folks, and that difference has never been more stark than what was highlighted by just two events this week….first it was revealed that when the sec of Labor, Alex Acosta, was a prosecutor in Florida, he gave a sweetheart deal to a big repub donor who was charged with sex trafficking of young girls…over 20 counts of abuse but Acosta let him off by giving him a non-prosecution deal that resulted in Epstein getting a cushy 18 month sentence for the one count he plead guilty to….and that deal was declared illegal last week since Acosta hid the deal so the victims couldn’t come forward and comment on the offered sentence…Acosta broke the law and yet he still sits as the Sec of Labor. The second edifying case is one we’ve seen a lot of…that of the long time repub operative Paul Manafort whose 800 page sentencing document was dropped by Mueller this week and basically said that they had never seen any one person who is a bigger lawbreaker than Manafort and recommended that he essentially spend the rest of his life in jail…and let’s not forget that this is someone who ran the idiot trump’s campaign and has been involved with repub politics since the days of Nixon…and he is the biggest criminal they have ever seen. And yet, trump does nothing about Acosta since he doesn’t think sexual assault is a crime and he also doesn’t think Manafort is a criminal.  So, the next time anyone says the parties are the same, just quote these two cases and drop the mic…impeach…
