I'm a thief and a shitkicker and uh, I'd like to be famous
They could have tried making releasing tax returns mandatory, strengthen the emoluments clause, so many things but they didn’t, and now we are here. Are the dems as bad as repubs? No. Are they at least negligent? In my opinion yes. You can be mad at KK for whatever, but party over country is vile.

I feel you can hold both positions in your mind: that repubs are criminals running the prison, and the dems are the prison adults that allowed this to happen. The original trump presidency showed there were many problems with our election system and exactly none were addressed by Biden.

The OP seems to say that people should only be mad at repubs. I’m simply saying that people can be mad at both, for good reason.

It seems, from your reaction, that you feel that people should only be mad at repubs, and that any one that feels the need to questions dems is somehow bad. I disagree.

You know, I followed your lead and was angry to someone that I’ve shared three sentences with, and with whom I likely agree. That was wrong. If you think I missed your point, please explain. I will explain my position.

Oh a personal attack, the mark of a truly good argumenter.
February 11, 2025 at 12:52 PM
So you don’t care that Biden didn’t do anything leading up to the transfer other than pre-emptively pardon some people? Didn’t set up stumbling blocks ala McConnell to at least try to slow them down or make it difficult for them? What the actual fuck. You can be mad at both.
February 11, 2025 at 12:24 AM
Oh, you can’t hold two related thoughts at the same time? My bad.
February 11, 2025 at 12:21 AM
Well I don’t give a shit about that shithead, but you can both be mad at republicans for the obvious and also mad at democrats for being feckless cowards who didn’t do jack shit to protect us from (in their words) an tyrannical existential threat. Not even something performative, even. Sheesh.
February 11, 2025 at 12:20 AM
You know there’s room for both
February 10, 2025 at 8:39 PM
Thank you! Yeah it seems better here so far. I’m glad to see you!
February 3, 2025 at 1:12 AM
I don’t think the dems, as they are now, have the strength, energy, or integrity to take this on in any sort of meaningful way.

It’s just insane that half the population still thinks that 2020 was stolen based on rumor and wishful thinking while hard data like this won’t even move the needle.

God damn your stupidity is boring
January 21, 2025 at 1:03 AM
Yeah this shit’s been pretty nerve wracking.
January 21, 2025 at 12:59 AM
trump lawyers admitted he did it.
January 19, 2025 at 2:17 PM
So you’re admitting you’re wrong and love corruption. Ok.
January 19, 2025 at 2:15 PM
No they didn’t. Again, submitting knowingly incorrect documents to a bank in order to get more money or better terms has been a crime called fraud for a long time.
January 19, 2025 at 2:09 PM
No matter how badly you want your daddy to be good, that’s not how the law works. Sorry.
January 19, 2025 at 1:25 PM
Yeah it was.
