      You probably get downvoted for saying that because it’s false as fuck. And besides being false, it’s the laziest shit ever.

      • The dems: get mad at trump for pardoning people they dony like

        Biden: pardons his own son.

        The dems: when we do it its ok.

        Clearly as bad as eachother wake up they want u to get distracted by this while they carefully tie the noise around ur neck.

        Just cos its lazy doesnt mean it aint true

          Did a former Democratic president say he was going to make life difficult for his enemies? Nope.

            This implies that the Democrats are now convinced Trump can control the Judiciary.
            Which means they don’t believe the separation of powers works anymore.
            So in essence, the US democratic system is now dead.
            One party killed it, and the other has given up their belief in it.

              Are you implying that Democrats should have faith that the system works? Everyone has seen it doesn’t. The courts aren’t legitimate, and trump made sure of it.

          Trump’s pardons wouldn’t make his top 150 crimes. I barely saw any reaction to those. so off the bat you seem entirely full of shit and looking for some lame excuse to pretend the parties are the same. you haven’t paid any attention whatsoever and that’s why you’ve a shitty lazy false argument. not weighing in is a good option for those like this.

      That’s like saying Hitler and Gandhi are the same because they both breath air.

      Some people think you are stupid because it seems you can’t grasp that two things aren’t the same just because they share one attribute.

      Other people think you are actively lying, using an easy to see trough rhetoric to normalize the gross shit reps do.

      Pardoning your son isn’t the same as letting people die because you think their body belongs to you. They are not equally bad. One is clearly worse.

      And that is why you get down voted.

          🤷‍♂️If you keep getting downvoted by “the smart respectable people” for pointing out that they are neither of those things, eventually people will start to say “Shit, am I agreeing with Muntedcrocodile (great name btw), I need to reconsider my opinions.”

          As soon as you start picking at a blatant hypocrisy in the ruling ideology, you’re tarred with the same vague ‘bad guy’ brush as us. If you keep questioning propaganda like this, you’re likely to have a lot more of these moments in the future, of sudden hostility from liberals who have no answers.

      One’s a literal inssurectionist who pardoned all of his criminal cronies, who’s only defense against his attempts to steal the election was “I need criminal immunity”.

      Biden pardons his own son who absolutely wouldn’t have been targeted were he not a Biden. Trump pardoned Charles Kushner, Jared’s father.

      They are absolutely unequivocal.

      When one side plays by the rules and the other side doesn’t, then the side playing by the rules will always lose. That’s a lesson the Democrats are just learning.

      What’s important to note is who is willing to break the rules first. That’s your bad guy.
