You can't win with these people because Democrats are "the enemy". They don't want to compromise they want to rule.
Oh come on, it's not like there are recordings of a Supreme Court justice saying exactly that.
I hate that I know exactly what you're referring to.
I mean or we could just link to this thing instead of weirdly mentioning it cryptically
https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/11/politics/supreme-court-recordings-alito-wife-roberts/index.html
And if that’s not what is being referred to, please link. “Ooh that spicy thing is so spicy” isn’t a good way to educate potential voters on who they should be voting against.
I thought it would be obvious since Alito or his wife have been like a third of the political news for the last couple weeks.
You can't win with these people because ~~Democrats are~~ Democracy is "the enemy"
FTFY
Yep. Republicans will abandon democracy before they abandon conservatism
“This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family, which has raked in tens of millions of dollars from China, Russia and Ukraine."
Wait wait wait... Didn't the trump kids secure 2.something billion from the Saudi government?
Yes, which is exactly why Republicans are making those crazy claims.
When the Saudi deals resurface in the public spotlight Republicans will point to those baseless claims and say "How is what the Trump kids doing any worse than this!?!?!?" and their followers will accept it at face value and say "See both sides are doing it, it's bad but no worse than what the other guy is doing"
Another tried and true republican tactic.
Accuse the other side of imaginary crimes, so when their real crimes come out they can go "Oh this is just evil democrat retribution! Obviously its not real/bad/etc!"
The Saudis are not China nor Russia nor Ukraine. They are ultra-cool chads who we love because of their traditional family values and based fossil fuel empire.
The Ukrainians are woke, soy, and gay, so you're not supposed to make money from them. The Russians are Evil Communists who want to Destroy America (except when they're chads we love because they're Trad Orthodox Christian or based fossil fuel guys). And the Chinese are China, which is the worst of the lot.
This is all very obvious to a person who knows things. If you don't know these things, you're probably also woke and gay.
Lol their worst accusations are over tens of millions of dollars?
Trump's son, who was actually involved in the government despite being grossly unqualified, was enriched by 2 billion dollars from Saudi investors.
Lol their worst accusations are over tens of millions of dollars?
Tens of millions of dollars they can't even prove exists. And they literally tried for 3 years. Hearing after hearing, tens of thousands of documents, and they came up with nothing.
But the sad thing is, they've successfully conditioned about 30-40% of the voting base to just believe whatever they said without question and dismiss anything that contradicts their statement as "fake news" from the "deep state".
Also forced through a security clearance for Jared when literally EVERYONE said he is compromised and a motherfucking security risk. But then again so is trump and republicans worship the fat lazy useless narcissistic child rapist.
Jared Kushner's technically his son*-in-law*.
Nevertheless, Jared got rich because he was smart and cool and good at deals. Hunter got rich because he was dumb and lame and a lazy piece of shit. Its totally different, because Kushner codes as "rich" and Biden codes as "poor".
Aren't the Republicans the reason why this began?
Of course they are. What they wanted wasn't what they got though. What they wanted was for hunter to walk. Since that didn't happen they have no position to whine about it and of course they are whining about that.
Reminds me of my zealously religious family members, they can take any argument and twist it into supporting their beliefs.
I'm such an underachiever. Here is "Sleepy Joe Biden", a doddering fool who even tries to sit where there is no chair, yet who also is the criminal mastermind behind an entire crime family and who easily controls all government and media for his own diabolical schemes. I mean, pick a lane, Republicans!
Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as "at the same time too strong and too weak". On the one hand, fascists play up the power of certain disfavored elites to encourage in their followers a sense of grievance and humiliation. On the other hand, fascist leaders point to the decadence of those elites as proof of their ultimate feebleness in the face of an overwhelming popular will.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.
They don't need to pick a lane, their base eats it up either way. My entire life Republicans have said immigrants are both lazy welfare leaches and simultaneously stealing all the jobs.
both lazy welfare leaches and simultaneously stealing all the jobs
They're half right, and I wanna talk about that.
I've worked with a lot of Romanian kids in I.T, and these people are the most effective, skillful, professional and happy I.T people I've seen. I'm none of those things, some days.
They're stealing jobs by being so fucking heroic, and I know I can't compete.
They represent super well. That's all I gotta say. Hire more Romanian kids for I.T, and I'll be down at the bread line, because der takin meh jerb.
They do that with everything. Haha look at these soyboy vegan leftist who can't even lift a GUN. Watch out for these scary leftists, they are dangerous.
I thought the Right To Bear Arms was NOT to be Infringed? I'm SURE Republicans will be Angry soon enough that Hunter Biden's Right To Bear Arms was Infringed on! Or does Hunter Biden need to murder a classroom full of Kindergarteners before Republicans come to his 2A Defense?
Applicability of the 2nd amendment is highly selective. All it took for Reagan to push through gun control in California was the Black Panthers arming themselves.
The republicans and Democrats were all basically pro gun control until about the late 2000s, and particularly so in the 80s and 90s.To give you a prominent example, Texas was a "may issue" state in 1995. That means that you had to have a permit to carry, and the state didn't have to give you one and could refuse you for no reason at all. Practically speaking, only cops and security got issued permits. Even Puerto Rico has more lax gun control than Texas did 30 years ago, and even a few years ago at their peak, they were may issue and you needed a reason to request one, marginally worse than Texas in 1995.
Now gun control is dead in America, but not because politicians saw the error in their ways. To remain relevant they have to pander, and america by and large abandoned gun control.
It must be so exhausting to have being angry and scared as part of your identity.
Poor guy is a victim of dimwitted mob stupidity. Imagine it was you suffering for your father's career. Republicans are absolute shit humans. The whole lot of them are criminal trash.

Christo fascists comparing Trump to Jesus are missing the even stronger parallel with Hunter. 😆
Lmao they're fucking crybabies. Idiots.
Of course they do. It totally kills the ‘weaponized DOJ’ narrative.
I think we all know who weaponized the DoJ.
Also, this is a high profile case for making the case to more rigidly enforce the existing gun laws. That also probably upsets them as the dog who caught the tire.
Biden’s son is 54? Jesus Biden is old
Right? I thought he was like...35 this whole time lmao
The media keeps talking about him like he's in his teens or early 20s where Joe gets to tell him what to do.
Some parts of society think that's exactly how joe should treat the other countries too.
I am sure they are big mad they couldn't milk it for longer.
“This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family, which we're still trying to find evidence of, but we're sure they've gained a Brazilian dollars from their time in politics"
And once again, the goalposts move back…
Take the L, losers
