I’m shocked that I haven’t seen one protest yet. Is the media suppressing them? If there aren’t any, why?

    I’m not a historian, but my guess is that we have lived too many generations without major political incident; the kind you’re supposed to make heads roll over.

    Really though? Just off the top of my head:

    Eisenhower to Nixon

    • Vietnam

    JFK

    • Rigged elections in Illinois with aid of the mafia.
    • Bay of Pigs

    Nixon

    • Watergate
    • Being Richard Nixon

    Reagan

    • Illegal invasion of Grenada
    • Iran-Contra

    Clinton

    • Executing a developmentally-challenged man as a campaign stunt.
    • Lewinsky Affair
    • Many rape allegations over decades
    • Whitewater

    Bush II

    • Illegal invasion of Iraq

    Obama

    • Bugging of Merkel’s phone

    Trump

    • Everything

    Biden

    • Medical incapacity
