Republicans spent years demanding Hunter Biden's laptop, shooting up pizza places, and harassing trans people. Yet shrug at Epstein and Trump.

This is getting wild with a 2 day old thread. I'm going to lock it.

Edit: It might not be troll baiting but rather some passionate takes. I took down the comments regardless if they were negative or not so it could settle down. Relax, you've probably already voted.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Obama was a national disgrace after he demeaned the office of the President. He'd put his feet on the Oval Office desk; he'd failed to properly salute his Marine guard; he wore a tan suit.

Trump restored dignity to the office by simulating oral sex at a campaign rally.*

*edit = To those who are sending comments pointing out other transgressions, I know I probably missed the one that offended you the most.

Talking about Trump is like talking about an anime that's been running for fifty seasons; if yopu talk about the hero fighting a dragon you have to specify which one.

Even better, they bitched and moaned about Epstein and Clinton (and probably still do). Trump is a special boy.

To suggest Republicans only argue in bad faith is to suggest that water is transparent.

Yesterday I watched some lady hand-wave away Trump's actions by saying "we're all sinners, and trump deserves our forgiveness just like we deserve Jesus' forgiveness". I mean, first of all, none of us deserve Jesus forgiveness. That's a core teaching in Christianity. The entire meaning of grace is that it's given regardless of worthiness. Secondly, what kind of wack-ass logic is that? She thinks trump is the better choice because of his crimes, since it makes him more human. I'm sorry, what? Then she went on to rant about how illegal aliens are destroying the country. So, I guess only rich assholes get the grace treatment, and poor immigrants get the stick.

Elon wants to be taken back to the island

If Epstein died during the Biden administration, Biden would have been blamed, and if there were pictures of them together, and creepy video of Biden talking about Epstein's preference for young girls, it would have been the only thing Republicans would discuss for years. But when it's Trump - they are silent.

That’s what made the whole idiotic “pizzagate” and “Q” thing especially staggeringly stupid - Trump was cast as a selfless hero working desperately to save society. In real life, obviously, he’s an intensely selfish narcissistic dickbag. Of all the ridiculous claims involved in that, Trump being a noble savior is the least believable.

Because they will attack at every weakness democracy has to destroy it. They are not moralists, they're invaders.

You want hypocrisy? Wait until you see the 180° flip on mail-in voting after this election. They’ve been telling us for five years that mail-in ballots are all fraudulent. Now that Democrats are telling women they can use in-person voting to undermine their husbands, I guarantee they will push to make mail-in voting far easier and shut down more polling places.

3D chess my ass.

Jeffrey Epstein details close relationship with Trump in newly released tapes -A New York journalist claims there are 100 hours of Epstein talking about the inner workings of the Trump White House

If you recognize it for what it is, why are you on that right-wing cesspool of an app?

Has the audio actually been made available?

It's mind boggling how quickly the GOP became the Fake Party of Fakeness. Almost any claim they make, you can look up and easily find it's bullshit. It's like Trump said, "I love the uneducated!" The party thrives on ignorance now. The main force driving them is young men without college who are angry that they don't have more power. The party's message is just plant your feet on the ground and insist you're right until the other side throws up its hands and gives in, like the low self esteem gf who sticks with you no matter what because she's too dumb to realize she has options. Problem is, Americans know they have options now - and like the saying goes, We Won't Go Back. I'm really looking forward to this week.

"you're opinion is garbage" vs "shoot her in the face"

I was at a brewery a few months back when Biden was giving an announcement, this was before he dropped out of the race. I was mildly enjoying myself until some guy came in with his wife and just went off on Biden, and specifically orbited around "hunter needs him to stay in office so he can stay out of jail". Dude was wearing an FOP shirt so he's obviously an expert on knowing when felons should or shouldn't be in jail...

mfw it was actually about primate dominance hierarchies and not any kind of code of morality all along.

Okay hear me out.

He was a White Hat Pedophile. Working the system from the inside.

They went almost for like 4 years about that laptop.

No no no, it only counts when "Others" do it, our own sins are "forgivable" for we are special, if we weren't we wouldn't be us.

Conservatives often want an in-group, that is protected by law, but is not bound by it; and an out-group, not protected by law, but bound by it. Get ready for this to get way worse in case of a Trump victory, alongside with crackpot dictators starting a dick measurement contest of who can ban the most harmless things in the shortest amount of time.

Well . . . yeah

Typical Government of Putin shit. Did anyone listen to recordings provided by Wolfe?

and yet the left still tries to debate them as if evidence and logic would change their minds one bit.

most of yall are beta cucks.

Nothing came out that proved anything, lol. "Hundreds of hours of audio but I won't share any of it even though the election is right around the corner", huh?

Please.

Still waiting on that n-word tape, and the pee tape, and so on, by the way.

Trump has said and done enough stupid shit without people like this making up random bullshit and never producing the evidence they pretend to have, while idiots like the OOP run with it.

Lol certainly don't mention that Bill Clinton was on that plane either, or else you'll see the Lemmy version of the literal same effect, even though neither that man nor his wife are running for office and criticizing them is valid and protected speech. I am currently being told in another thread that Clinton's abuse of power and thus sexual abuse of Monica Lewinsky is "just as bad" as the consensual cheating relationship Newt engaged in at the time. Even though no, one involved abuse of power and one didn't.

No one in this country is willing to be honest or have a backbone. It's pathetic. How about we don't stump for rapists at all, no matter their political affiliation.
