At the end of the day trump and Hillary still get along better than either would with their average voter.
If 1/6 hadn't have happened, I fully believe trump wouldnt have any pending court cases.
Both parties forgive obvious crimes from prior administrations.
And no matter how much you hate trump, that doesnt make Hillary magically innocent.
She willingly and knowingly broke the law. And "the last guy did it too" isn't the level of excuse we accept from teenagers.
The sheer fact that she was allowed to use a self hosted email server instead of a secure .mail.mil address means a whole bunch of people should have faced charges
I'm fully aware republicans do worse stuff, that doesn't mean Dems can do anything they fucking want. That's like a teen saying their older brother gets to smoke crack so they should at least be able to get blackout drunk every night
Yeah, it's better, but that doesn't mean it's ok.
If a Republican breaks the law, charge them.
But we should be charging Dems, Independents, Green party, literally all of them accountable when they break the law. Or else we're going down the same road republicans already did, and they got a hell of a headstart
And this folks, is a textbook example of concern trolling.
It's called
Not doing that, is how republicans got trump...
Some people know it as:
But that involves a couple steps of critical thinking and long term planning
Yeah, yeah, yeah, tell ya what, you get started on your next little rant about Hillary's emails while I just go ahead and block you, sound good? k bye now. 👋
The concern trolling is that it doesn't even give a shit about the original sentiment of Fuckface 45 lying about locking her up.
It's a misdirect.
He said it during the campaign to get elected, then immediately went back on it once elected.
Something that is incredibly common and the only time it didn't was when trumpntried an actual coup.
Which is why I talked about how if he hadn't have done that, Biden would have said the same for him.
I'm sorry I didn't type out all the steps for you, but it was already pretty long, and it seems like you already didn't read it all before replying.
But that still wouldn't be concern trolling either.
Like:
Is a valid concern, if not an actual fact. Everyone forgets how close 2020 was, and how most people were just voting against trump and not for Biden.
And after the last year, Biden is looking worse than in 2020.
Acknowledging reality isn't "concern trolling" because you don't like it
It's like trumpets yelling "fake news" when they hear something they don't like...
Just completely irrational.
Still misdirecting. Accept the truth, and stop trying to be devil's advocate or provide "context". He said "lock her up", and he's lied about that fact.
Get out of his fat ass. He's not gonna give you an IOU or a teenager to fuck. He's got nothing for you. He is nothing.
Literally no one is saying he didn't...
Where is any of what you just said coming from?
From the article: “I didn’t say ‘lock her up,’ but the people said lock her up, lock her up,” Trump said.
And him actually saying the phrase:
https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5119492/user-clip-trump-saying-lock-up
And don't with that bullshit "he's just responding and repeating what the audience said" because he's literally fucking saying it. And also, repeating someone's bullshit isn't an excuse.
Again, no one is saying that he didn't say that here... (At least when I made the comment)
The only way what you're doing here makes any sense, is if when I meant that no one in this thread is disputing he said "lock her up"...
You thought I meant including trump.
Who did 100% say it, and is now 100% denying it for some reason.
Are we finally on the same page here?
I've seen your shitty takes so many times but this one really illustrates who you are. No credibility whatso fucking ever.
