    this is a bit inaccurate. The guy saying it’s a problem for biden is a republican(as in… former ethics advisor to W.)

    Biden’s son’s criminal issues won’t sway democrats or swing voters away. because most people are seeing the lengths they’re going… and so far the only evidence they have on things is decades-old-crimes that most rich people would have just had to pay a bribe to get out of.

    republicans are stupid enough think this whataboutism- the vast majority of which wouldn’t stand up in any semi-legitimate courtroom anyhow- is enough to save trump. and it’s simply not.

      Too bad the court of public opinion is not semi-legitimate. They’re grasping for straws (her emails 2.0), but people are dumb enough that it works.

      Trump raped children and undermined democracy? Well, (a) Biden tok drugs and avoided taxes!

      I don’t know what is wrong with people, but somehow it seems to work perfectly on half the population.

        take solace in knowing that it’s not actually half the population.

        a fair number are just straight up assholes. Like the Koch family. who find it’s more cost effective to buy off legislators (and trump,) to deregulate than it is to not fucking pollute the world. Or, that pastor who just got bought off by DeSantis for votes, that are actively telling their people to vote for him in iowa. for about 90k?
