You're two steps behind.

I’ve been hearing ‘oh this will set a precedent there is no turning back from’ weekly since Jan 2025.

It’s like the frog commenting that the 80C water is about to get hotter.

I mean, it's not really wrong. JD Vance recently said that Watergate would just be a "12 hour news cycle" if it happened today, and spouted some bullshit that "the deep state" took down Nixon. The takeaway from me was that corruption has become so normalized by the Trump administration that Watergate wouldn't even be such a big deal today, and, incredibly sadly, I think he's probably right.

I’m waiting for the “Yes, I was corrupt. I did it to show you all how corrupt a government can be if you let it be”
