top | item 46116887 (no title) felixgallo | 2 months ago Rick, do you feel like there's an extreme asymmetry in scope, scale, intent, and result between the two sides? discuss order hn newest RickJWagner|2 months ago I think there is a rising slope.Obama was a bit dirty with things like Solyandra, but this was not huge.Trump 1 was not as openly money grubbing, but I would guess more corrupt than Obama. Nothing specific comes to mind, though.Biden was worse than Trump 1. The Ukrainian gas job, the business introductions, Hunters anonymous art sales, etc were next level stuff.Trump 2 seems pretty much off the leash. He seems unrestrained on many fronts.Looking back at history, we had scandals like the Teapot dome scandal, then things got better again. So maybe it’s cyclical.
