The GOP is right, there is a 2 tiered justice system. It tilts in their favor at the moment. Look at all the shit Trump has gotten away with. Look at the light sentences handed down for a majority of the Jan 6 traitors. And they are still bitching about it.
Look at the illegitimate, corrupt, terrorists in SCOTUS currently ruling this country by fascist fiat.
You might say it’s Supremely Fucked.
It tilts in their favor ~~at the moment~~ because they pervert the system.
They have been weakening the system for decades and it's paying off.
Yeah, I mean, yeah. Sounds about right, yeah.
Bitch THIS is what the bias news is at work.
Aoc is dumbing it down way too much but yes it is great that sometimes the system works.
It is AWFUL it only works when it is in the favor of one side and that side is NEVER held accountable.
So fucking weird that these Holy Christians are convinced their ~~Christain~~ republican figureheads and leaders are righteous, when everything about our current situation can equally biblically paint them as followers of the antichrist. but what do I know.
I think the only people who remotely give a shit about Hunter Biden are 24 hr news channels.
I assure you, Hunter Biden will not receive my vote for President of the United States
How about they review FFL applications and see what box Don Jr checked when he bought his guns.
Well yeah…the problem is that the republicans don’t accept when it works. We’ve know this for years now, some dem leader gets accused of something and they most often step down or get charged it was legit. Republicans get accused of something they actually did and praise lawd Jesus Christ sowhatifidid and they stay put.
Is Hunter Biden even relevant to anything political? Are the Dems as a whole actually losing anything by letting him face this conviction?
He's relevant in that this is the first time the child of a sitting president has been convicted of a felony, but I highly doubt that this will dissuade anyone who would have voted for Biden from doing so. Most people who say otherwise weren't voting for him anyway. NOT letting him face the conviction would certainly have had a negative impact, though!
Yeah that was pretty much my thoughts on it. He's already done all the damage he's going to do to Biden's rep. Beyond that they don't lose anything by letting him face consequences. Which didn't seem too severe for the crime he was charged with from what I read. It's not really comparable to the situation with Trump considering Trump is the front-runner for the republicans. Not that I think either of them should get off just saying this is kind of a stupid thing to grandstand over.
Only thing I can think of is among low information voters it sort of looks like both democrats and republicans are charging one another with crimes
Since when are all politicians just three letter abbreviations? AOC, DJT, MTG, where did this come from I hate it
LBJ, JFK, FDR…
Hell, TR had a two letter abbreviation!
My guess is back when Twitter had the 160 character cap
Ah yes, the early days of Twitter, back in 1932 when FDR was elected.
Dems: if our representative is guilty, get rid of them! Repubes: if our representative is guilty, forgive them!
Just let me know when it starts working.
Meanwhile maga republicans still cant accept that trump is a felon
Or proof they're willing to throw someone under the bus to further a narrative, they're all corrupt as far as I'm concerned.
And those of you down voting are horrifically naive if you genuinely believe the people on top of the heap actually have your best interests in mind, you don't get into positions of power by being nice.
So its damned if you do damned if you don't, right?
Your both sides bullshit is designed to keep people away from the polls and I see right through it.
