1. If you heard Biden had classified documents from before he was POTUS and your first reaction was "I'm sure this is different from what Trump did" and you meant that it was more legal than Trump's actions.

2. You're suddenly worried that someone lied to get elected... in January, 2023.

3. You've stopped worrying about "#StopAsianHate" - not because it was misleading, but because the fact that it is misleading is now widely known and thus backfired.

4. You still think Trump said to drink bleach, that neo-Nazis were "fine people", etc. Just insert any of the dozens of false accusations against Trump that have been publicly, even famously debunked.

5. You are worried that Matt Gaetz may have boinked a 17-year-old that he thought was 19 in his 30's, but are not worried that Biden showered with his daughter.

6. You were worried about Stormy Daniels but not Tara Reade.

7. You still vote Democrat.

When I was younger I didn’t hate liberals, I just thought they had bad ideas. Now, I can’t stand anyone who is on the left and wish the most severe evil upon them.

8. You listen to and agree with millionaires saying that millionaires should have to pay a "wealth tax" and it never crosses your mind that the millionaires calling for this will never pay a penny of tax to the "wealth tax" they are calling for.

Here is the problem with your logic: It is logic.

Recall 1984, George Orwell's masterpiece.

quote:

Doublespeak is language that deliberately obscures... or reverses the meaning of words. ... It may also refer to intentional ambiguity in language or to actual inversions of meaning.


At this point, we are experiencing full-on double speak.

We can bring up virtually any precedent of something Trump was accused and proven innocent. Then you will have a clear cut example of Biden actually doing so. That's (D)ifferent. No amount of precedent or proof will change their mind. Zero. Just keep chanting "orange man bad" and he will go away.

You cannot have a discussion with a brick wall, and that's what perhaps half of the left is becoming. A brick wall.

Some good examples:

The gas stove crisis. NEver mind all the pics of AOC and DOCTOR Jill Biden cooking on gas. Gas stoves are murder. End of story.

The border crisis. Now it was actually caused by Trump! Because he built part of the wall or something! They look at us with a straight face and tell us the border crisis is Trump's fault. Ignoring that fact that Jeh Johnson told us it was a crisis in 2012 and Obama built those child cages.

Both should be investigated.

Biden hasn't denied it though while Trump did so there's a pretty big difference there.

Why is it misleading? Asian hate doesn't stop because different demographics are doing it.

The second thing wasn't exactly debunked.

And he said that something was *like* drinking Bleach so I'm a little confused at how it was debunked.

Are you talking about the diary?

Tara Reade was debunked.

Yes, will continue to do so.

In actual fact, you've not really demonstrated that Republicans are any better in your examples, all you've pointed out is that Democrats are just as bad as Republicans if your examples were all true.

8. Did it ever cross your mind to even think about voting for Raping Joe, Odumbf*ck, or Billy Jeff?

If so, you are dumber than pounded f*cking dirt and should never be allowed to vote again.

What, specifically, did Trump "deny"?
Here is the big difference, since you're keen to be seen trying to outsmart us in a humorous exercise in futility: Trump was POTUS and can declassify documents on a whim, with merely a gesture. Biden was not, and could not.

I see thinking is difficult for you. It was misleading because losers like you were trying to pin it on white people.

They were both debunked, thoroughly and unquestionably. Your blatantly erroneous comments all underscore my original point, so I'll let them speak for themselves. Congratulations, though. Not many people know they've been brainwashed. Now you know. And you'll keep voting Democrat because you're just that weak.

You are exactly the type of person the Op is referring to.

Trump was President and can declassify any document that he wished.

Biden was VP and had zero authority to declassify or possess classified documents.

You post like a teenager that thinks that they have all of the answers but all of your answers are incorrect.

Lol, why should I care?

I'm going to keep voting Democrat and you're going to keep writing diatribe after diatribe on this board.

We're both creatures of habit after all.

From the law articles I've read, the documents would have to be declassified through a special procedure.

The American Bar Association debunks the argument that the President can declassify by just thinking of it as you seem to imply.

Lol, what? Asian hate is still wrong just because non-white people are doing it. What a dumb fricking point.

This has been debunked by the American Bar Association.

They argue that special procedures have to be followed and they were absolutely not followed.

He denied he knew they existed where they existed

He may be "cooperating" but I'm not willing to believe he's being completely honest here.

Some people get tired of the hypocrisy, double standards, and gaslighting and need to point it out from time to time.

Obviously, you're fine with it.

No, actually it concludes in its "fact checker" that it hasn't been challenged in court. At best, from your perspective, this can be considered a Schrodinger's cat. That being the case, people don't get convicted for breaking laws that don't exist, and the only certainty is that Biden DID break the law.

Advantage: Trump.

What's dumb is that you miss the point again. Hate is wrong, regardless of race, so I'm not playing the game. The point of "#StopAsianHate" was to polarize Asians against whites and Trump supporters until the campaign got to be so ridiculous that it was backfiring. The question isn't about whether or not we should hate Asian people, just following the mentalities and motivations of the idiots involved.

I don't vote out of habit, but out of principle. I'd say you should try it sometime, but the sad thing is you probably do as well.
