Let's try this scenario:

You own a small grocery store. Out of the corner of your eye, you see a kid that's new in your shop (let's call him Obama).  He comes by and takes  1/6 of all your merchandise.  You restrain him and call the cops.  The cops show up and he claims the store is actually his and he caught you sneaking in a window.  The cops arrest you for being racist and call you deplorable, his friends show up and loot the burn the store.  You are now homeless and he comes by and tells you to have Hope because things will Change, you look at him with adoration in your eyes and a tingle up your leg and fall to the ground and say that he is nothing but the "truth".

You work hard to get ahead and another person comes in lets call her Hillary.  She lies and cheats to get on the city council in a rigged election.  Then when some trouble starts in your neighborhood she indicates its all your fault,  has a mob gather outside your store rioting due to the fact that you are a racist over a video on the internet that shows you arguing that Obama lied to the cops, had you tossed out of your own store and has you arrested.  You call the cops, but they just say Hey - thats your "Matter" because you need to check your white privilage.

You get out of jail, move to a new town and start over, you start up a new business and someone walks in and says - damn you were screwed for 8 years lets take care of the corruption that put you here.  You call the cops to try have him arrested because you are scared of changing the way things are and fear of the kid who made you homeless and the liar who put you in jail will come by for a visit to either re-educate you or you might accidently shoot yourself with two different guns in the back of the head twice.

But what do I know we are all just looking for the "truth" - you say Obama and Hillary are now out of office and dont matter anymore. But I disagree, We can see that under the Obama DOJ nothing was ever investigated because they were too busy spinning it as a matter.  Real violations of law took place, but to you that does not matter because that is the past, its just history, how we got to this point is 100% moot to you.  To be able to live in such a place that nothing past matters, it must be a lovely place since it is only reserved for people who you claim it to be for.  You want to pry open every Trump tax return for the last 100 years so you can can find the evidence of a crime you know he had to have committed, but why should his returns matter?  Thats all in the past, it does not count by each and every one of you dumbasses who are now claiming that Obama and Hillary are no longer in office and off limits.  Obama blamed everything bad he could  on bush and the rest he silenced with Executive privilage and obstruction - by your very definitions his refusal to answer is in itself evidence that he is guilty of everything he was ever accused of. 

If that is actually your position - You are a dumbass - people who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it.  You are as dishonest in your defense of the previous adminstration as you are in the prosectution of this one.  You attempt to say it does not matter because that is the past is BS and you know it.  

I never said I was here to defend the president or any R and do not intend to.  I am pointing out that your political god who set the tingles up your leg set the bar so low while you cheered that your outrage over everything Trump and the coup that is currently underway because you did not get your way is going to be the end of this country.  

The 2nd war between the states is not going to be pretty and you are cheering as our country burns.
