The committee, led by Chairman James Comer, said in the report that it plans to continue to investigate Biden to find evidence of corruption, even as it acknowledged that it had no evidence that he financially benefited from the myriad foreign business dealings of his son Hunter.

It’s a show for low-information voters to establish false equivalency in their minds, fuel for whataboutism. Sadly, it will probably work on the intended audience.

Conservatives always assume there is a democrat counter part for every evil thing that emerges from their party. Alt-right, what about the alt-left?? Ignoring the fact they adopted the moniker the alt-right and all the scumbags they pandered to joined up. If there was some counter group on the left why the fuck would they adopt the name the alt-left like its some celestial inevitability and if they don’t call themselves that the universe will become unbalanced.

Fucking stupid.

Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.

Never trust a conservative.

Deception and manipulation would require some base intelligence. Instead, conservatives procure sounds that sometimes resemble human sentences.

Think infinite monkey theorem.

You’re thinking of conservative voters.

Well, most of them. There was a certain cheeto colored one recently that I’m pretty sure didn’t know what he was doing… also I’m not sure Mitch McConnell even knows where he is half the time these days.

The GQP held many, many hearings on Hillary Clinton’s supposed crimes, released multiple reports with no evidence, and you’ll notice Hillary Clinton isn’t President. Why would they change when it worked?

This ignores the fact that Hillary is deeply unlikeable and thus unelectable. imho you’re giving repug disinformation too much credit here.

Why exactly do so many people find her unlikeable?

I’ll give you a hint, it rhymes with “Depublucan propaganda”

Exactly. I remember in the 2008 primaries I was talking to someone about how Obama was a better pick than Clinton because she just felt unlikeable. I did some self reflection at the time and realized that’s because Republicans had been running a constant smear campaign against her since the early 90s. It’s crazy how effective that long term propaganda is. It leaves people with a generally bad feeling about someone, even if they can’t quite articulate why.

Unaffiliated Voter here that leans left and used to sometimes vote Republican until Trump. I’ll never even consider doing so again until the R Platform clearly acknowledges the J6 Coup Attempt and holds it’s own members that were complicit accountable.

Having said that, to hell with Hillary. Wasn’t one of her slogans ‘It’s Her Turn!’ or something? Sorry, no. I am against any political dynasties, be they Clinton, Bush, Kennedy, or any of the others. She is the epitome of a cringe politician.

Have you actually listened to her?

This quote:

“It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush, it may take another Clinton to clean up after the second one”.

Ah yes, Bill Clinton who - checks notes - signed a bill putting another 100k cops on the street and introduced corporation friendly trade agreements that hurt workers (NAFTA) for starters. He was the worst kind of democrat, one that does what the Republicans want to do but act like it’s some sort of progressive act and she’s the exact same.

As Sec of State, she put ridiculous sanctions on Iran, she was the driving force behind completely fucking destroying Libya and in general, she’s a war hawk who will invade any country it takes to uphold the status quo regardless of the impact to the people. You can argue that is practically any politician in the system (and you’d be right) but she has a proven track record of it.

My Trump supporting family members seem to think Joe’s son’s crimes cancel out Trump’s kids crimes. I shit you not.

I always respond with, “Is Joe’s son part of the government in any official or unofficial role?”

They know it’s bullshit. They know you know it’s bullshit. They are playing the long game for their fan base.

“Biden was investigated for the same thing, and just like Trump they didn’t find anything! But that’s because Biden was in office and hurr durr… I forget the point but Biden is definitely murdering and trafficking children for the DNC. That movie from the passion of the Christ guy told me so and he’s practically Jesus.”
