Yes, but "burning down cities"? Hyperbole, surely?

Democrats also choose those who will keep criminal activities covered up. For that matter, Republicans are now favoring those who will cover-up high ranking crimes too. I don't think Republican leaders were this "dirty" back when Bush was President. Maybe a lot of the Obama/Biden/Pelosi regime rubbed off on every body.
Seems that because of the way society has gone lately with both parents working, the kids are getting more apt to do crimes. Laws have been passed that make it illegal to spank your kids when they are young too, so kids don't get punishment early in life which makes them believe they will not get punished for their crimes later in life.
The thing is that the people in the middle class along with other donors to the political parties have kids that were getting in trouble and because of their parents prestigious jobs they started getting away with things more in school and their local area...so these people in their prestigious positions got the laws changed so their kids would not get charged with things that they were not supposed to do. Along with their own kids not getting stiff penalties, the rest of people had their kids benefit by these laws. So now a lot of the corruption has spread through our society and the numbers of bad people is increasing a lot the farther down the rabbit hole we go. Our society now has a major problem just because kids did not get disiplined properly when they were young and in their teenage years, a lawyer would get a teenager off with no record and the teenager just figured it was their right to not get punishment as long as the parents paid a lawyer and their fines. Lawyers got richer, the jails do not have nearly as many people in them as they should, and fines are paid by the parents of kids that don't want the public to know their kid was in trouble. Both parents are working most times in these cases, the kids are not properly supervised.
I see this happening a lot around here, parents and grandparents keep bailing the kids out of trouble. The courts love it when they get more money, the cops are disgusted because they put a youth in jail and they are out the next day even for more serious crimes now. There are a lot of warrants out here for youth that have not showed up at court, and these youth keep doing bad things, they are not even scared of the police anymore.
It started at the top of society, laws were made more lenient to protect those youth, but laws are made for everyone, not just the rich....plea bargaining is always done around here, even with court appointed lawyers.
This has been increasing for generations, I have seen it happening for at least three generations now with each generation increasing the number of these kids that think they don't have to follow the laws because they can get off with a slap on the wrist.
Conservatives used to be more into letting their kids get punnished because they believed society should work together to keep crime down. Liberals...well just look at their chaotic behavior through the last four generations, they push to ease the laws so their kids don't get the book thrown at them and wind up in jail very long or prison....because they taught them that laws can be changed...liberal is all about overturning present rules. They initiate change, whether bad or good, they like to change things.
So, in a nutshell, this is what I believe is happening to society because I have seen it happening quite a bit over the years and it is much worse now than it was back in the sixties. In the sixties you did not even have to lock your doors or your cars. You did not need security systems on your house around here even into the early seventies. You might find some drunk passed out in your shed because he she could not make it home and it was either buggy outside or it was freezing. Now if you left a chainsaw in the back of your truck, it might disappear, but you could just stick it in the cab and it was ok. It used to be you could leave any tool outside and the people who stole stuff would not bother it because tools made you have to work, but then selling them became the trend, so then you had to put them away.
With the internet, it is easy for someone to sell what they stole. They list it from a different area for sale then they say they will deliver it. So the crooks are getting smarter, people on marketplace do not realize what is being sold there is what was stolen from their house because the location is fifty miles away.
At the rate things are going, I do not want to live for another twenty years, society is getting corrupt, it used to be one or two percent of people were corrupt, now it appears it is about three or four percent. One bad person can cause problems for a lot of people. The strange thing is people don't even realize they are corrupt, they have been taught what they can get away with and they stretched it and their kids stretch it. They feel they are justified in their action because now they believe it is considered socially acceptable. They cannot properly comprehend what honest means, before you were obligated by a handshake, now you need a legal contract and legal contracts often have corruption written into them.
Ok, enough of a rant, I am just old and have seen too much change in society over the last fifty five years or so since I became a teanager.

Because instead of turning over the documents when asked, he tried to cover up the fact he had them and lied to investigators.

Trump's legal team is a revolving door. Case in point, the lawyer that defended Trump for the Russia accusations, Ty Cobb, says Trump is toast with the current charges.
Yeah here is what Cobb said…..
“He knew. He is toast. DC jury: He is done. Until he wins the election and the fun begins all over,"
Bittersweet for you I bet, he loses the case but wins the election.
Which is all that matters, 4 more years of salty Liberal tears.
🤣🤣
I agree with you and he seems guilty of that . I think what Hillary did with her phones & server innher private home is the worst , yet she is free ?

Trump is not my type of leader , but it is very lopsided in the persecution he gets .
Trump is definitely guilty of all manners of nastiness but the document charges are silly in comparison

Well, I do stand corrected.
This here link says Clinton flew on that plane 26 times.
And I've also heard that the famous physics prof in the wheelchair - Hawking... he was on the Island for a party or two also. Lots of famous people. It was his stock in trade.
The women were too old for Joe Biden, I believe.

Biden is a crook, a plagiarizer, a liar, a cheat.
He has opened our borders, raised taxes, increased inflation and ruined foreign relations.
The democrat party is trying to be the only party, they are full of Marxists, leftists who hate the Constitution, hate individuality, hate freedom.
The DNC cheated in 2020 to defeat Trump. That's the only way they can stay in power because no sane rational person would want less freedoms, less money.
the Democratic Party is the worst thing to happen to this country since Operation Paper Clip and before that the 1913 overthrow…
