    No way is this ok. I would not be ok with this no matter the letter after their name. That is how freedom dies. They scare you first so you accept this bullshit.

    All politicians have that motto. And all are corrupted by power.

    Not a defense. A correction and extension.

    A correction of what?

    You are saying oh look, Trump is doing what any other politician would do - therefore don't judge him negatively! That's a defense.

    Actually it was originally Winston Churchill and the context of both are completely different. Yall on the right need to read up on history.

    They were both speaking about the opportunity to do good even in the worst of situations. Not grab more power.

    Power corrupts everyone. This is why no man deserves absolute power. Not trying to make this just about Trump... you are though.

    You are trying to excuse his behavior by saying, "oh shucks well everyone does it"

    Stop being so disingenuous. This thread is about Trump.

    Good for Sen. Lee but I will again point out he had an opportunity to do something about a President with authoritarian tendencies and did nothing.

    Not really. That is my genuine view of politicians after having been in the many. These lifers are only about power and they don't let go (look at the age of our candidates). That's why I am actually agreeing with you. Just not the way you want I guess

    Predictable. We will eventually get to the REAL reasons why this administration and their media lied to the American public from the beginning about this virus.
