    Oh yeah? Give me an real concrete example of a president getting hold accountable in the usa. By accountability I don’t just mean impeachement but real consequences like jail

      Jail? No, never.
      We do kill them occasionally. Would be nice if it was for good reasons.

      Jfk was assassinated. Trump had an assassination attempt. Lincoln had an assassination.

      Did you mean accountable legally? Not an agitator from the far right, or unknown agitator in JFK’s case.

          It’s not full accountability, but Reagan Nixon resigned because he was going to be impeached and removed. The failure was not convicting him of a crime. Still some level of accountability, but not enough.

            Nixon resigned because he was going to be impeached and removed.

            “Fun” (read: nauseating) fact! We now have Fox News because Roger Ales said “If we had a friendly media Nixon would never have had to resign.” He then went on to start Fox News with the devils rotten semen Murdock

            He was right! Fox News now keeps the Republican party completely unaccountable by keeping the population in an alternate reality news space…

            My brother in Christ, you are confusing Richard Nixon with Ronald Reagan. Nixon resigned. Reagan was wildly popular while implementing policies that have fucked over America for nearly half a decade now.

              You’re right, it was a long day in the office and my brain is fried. Don’t gotta be a dick about it.

            It’s not accoutability at all , it doesn’t prevent mistakes to happen just look at how more much worse Trump is in the second term after being impeached. This is the dirrect results of what I critisize

              It absolutely is a small amount of accountability. If it wasn’t, he would have finished his term.
