Lauren Boebert needed 4 tries to pass a GED. She's the perfect representation of the Republican party now.
Lol what a fucking idiot
I was reading another thread and wondering who she was
Hilarious. You could do better than Biden, America, but I respect this reaction more than the incessant screaming of the toddler you had before.
Biden was the concession. Few really wanted him. The rest just knew he was white and vanilla enough to alienate as few swing voters as possible.
Anything to get trump out of office.
And now we're gonna fuckin do it again.
Do we have a real choice?
I don't think we do.
If the choice is between a precariously old octogenarian and a completely unhinged authoritarian octogenarian who doesn't believe in democracy, I guess I know which way I'll vote every time.
And now we have to do it again
FTFY
Harder this time TBH
To be honest, neither Biden nor any other politician should receive praise or respect for behaving this way, for it is the bare minimum that's expected from them.
We're just used to the craziness of the other side. Anyone behaving like the Republicans during the GW Bush era or earlier would have been ostracized from the political landscape.
So, don't feel respect for the expected decency of a politician. Feel rage for the indecent one, and show it with your votes!
I would, but I’m Canadian.
I don't get you're trying to imply by you being Canadian... are your politicians better or worse than the American ones?
Edit: I get it now.
I’m implying that I can’t vote in America; I have no disagreements with your comment otherwise.
Oh hehe I had a brainfart. Understood.
You sure about that? Did you see the numbers in the last election?
Yeah I’m pretty sure I respect a man that brushes off unfounded allegations more than one that cries like a toddler when caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Election numbers have no bearing on my respect for a person.
My comment wasn't about the respect. It was about Americans ability to do better.
he hugs too much 😂
Clearly Bidens son Hunter has issues and has done some clearly shady, if not outright illegal things, but this does not immediately make Biden complicit in his son's actions. Anyone who can read or has eyes will realize this all theater and will go nowhere just like the Clinton investigations.
I think the entire point is to smokescreen and deligitimize Trump's legal situation by trying to show people "look, we're doing the same thing they are doing to us!" Doesn't matter if it's completely different, or if it even goes anywhere legally. A lot of people will either not take the time to follow both cases or they'll be disenfranchised enough to tune out altogether, which is exactly what they're hoping for.
Look what they did to Hillary. They created so much smoke about Benghazi people still think there was a fire.
Truly the fall of civilization is when a critical mass of people don't know how to think critically and believe only what the angry people tell them.
...which managed to peel just enough voters off to make donnie's bid for office in 2016 a possibility that actually happened.
I do love his approach but it would also be neat to see him talk the same shit trump did and blame the republikkkans for a witch hunt. Which is exactly what they are doing. I also really wish he would have the trump children investigated as thoroughly as his son and Hillary have been.
I feel that would validate the republican clown show too much.
Yep. They go out of their way to make words lose meaning. Notice after Jan 6 they've been labeling anything dems do as an "insurrection." It's so their base sees anything horrendous that Republicans do as tit for tat, and the dumbass enlightened centrists can say "bOtH sIdEs" as they do.
Saying "OK go for it you got nothing" is much better optically.
Reflexively downvoting anyone conflating "both sides", "enlightened centrists" etc. Whole system is a disaster and sick of people acting like the "oppression lite" party is off limits for criticism. Anyone who doesn't just compromise their principles to go with the flow politically knows better.
If people who disapprove of fascism don't vote, well then, we get fascism.
Doesn't matter if you think it's not your fault; we still get fascism.
Doesn't matter if you say the whole system is a disaster; we still get fascism.
Doesn't matter if you pinky-swear to go punch a Nazi instead of voting; we still get fascism and you go to prison.
I promise you, the fascists will show up and vote for fascism.
Personally, my principles say "fascism is bad, let's not have one of those" and I don't believe in compromising on that.
Yes, the classic "lesser of two evils" stance to justify an arbitrary formation of social support behind "literally anything better than the worst possible thing". And in this context right now, actually being used to shut down all criticism of anything besides the "worst possible thing". No awareness at all about all the other better alternatives. You could actually prove that this mentality drives the status quo further towards "fascism" or any other negative totalitarian outcome, because you're specifically forbidding criticism of what's going wrong with who you support.
It is not a well thought-out stance.
Yes but also every accusation is a confession with them, they’re screaming about a laptop while handing out security clearances to their kids and quietly funneling Saudi money all over. Let’s look at that more publicly
Honestly he spends his time better than all of that.
Special good luck to those Republican Reps who come from districts Biden won. You are those that will get attention.
Impeachment is an empty threat at this point. He might not even show up if it goes to trial.
I'm glad he responded to this. But I wish he would've hit harder. Shame doesn't work with the current GOP.
I disagree. I think he's better off doing his job competently than engaging in GOP tabloid headline generators.
That's also a fair point.
If the Republicans held Trump to the same standards as they're trying to hold Biden to, Donald would have been ousted from office and not cleared of two attempted impeachments.
Because on a scale of 1 to the Trump dynasty, Hunter's wrongdoing is about a 3.
"Good luck with that fellas, let me know how that goes for ya!"
