      Bruh the only politician who has been flattened in the past 24 hours was Ebrahim Raisi.

        Based on his record, a few articles snd forum posts explaining what should happen, all of which will be ignored by the legal system, there won’t even be a baliff giving Mr. Trump a heavy slap, which seems apropriate with how Mr. Trump behaves.

      He constructed it a little cleverly: Said that if it was a Republican, they’d be in the electric chair. I don’t think it was criminal.

      Of course, he also openly tried to have his own vice president killed, and collects non-murder-related felonies like bottles for recycling, and at least so far all of that has been mostly okay of him to do, so I’m not sure how much it matters. 😕

    Anyone else notice how quiet the bOtH siDEs camp is on articles like this? Seems they only like to talk about how bad both sides are when Biden is the subject being discussed- but when any of the right wing lunacy is brought up, they’re vapor.

    This is a very clear indication as to what their motives are here.

    VOTE LIKE LIVES DEPEND ON IT. There are a lot of people here hoping you don’t so that Trump can win November. Don’t give this to them!

      Not as much. But I do notice you on every trump post insisting people are screaming both sides… and others taking legitimate criticism of biden as people screaming both sides.

        “Both sides” is just one of those things centrists say when they know they’re wrong but don’t want to change.

        That you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. There are tons of people posting daily the bullshit about both sides. I’d name them, but then I’d be banned for it.

        Tons of people urging others not to vote. Tons of people saying both sides are the same- because of a single issue. And one they barely understand.

        Don’t confuse the insistence that people get out and vote, and the calling out of bad actors anything other than what it is- an attempt to prop up American democracy and keep us from having to entire another four years of dictatorship.

        Another common tactic/fallacy is exaggerating the claim. Example: saying something “screams” about “both sides”. The bit about screaming is unneeded and is just added to make it easy to argue against it.

        and others taking legitimate criticism of biden as people screaming both sides

        That’s not the same and not what is meant as “both sides”. And again, people aren’t screaming. I’d maybe take your comment more seriously if it didn’t ignore things while adding a fallacy to discuss a common fallacy.

      It’s because they are righties posing as lefties or straight up from troll farms. The billionaire class along with Russia and China - all have a vested interest in seeing Biden fail. Trump serves their interests.

        Bingo. And they think people are falling for that bullshit. More than likely what’s happening is they’re all just bullshitting one another without even being aware of it.

      Both sides are not the same, but they are both corrupt. The message of “both are the same” needs to be more specific.

      The right side takes away rights, the left helps people. That’s great! Only while the decisions cater to things wanted. They only do what will get them in office.

        How corrupt is Joe Biden? The guy’s famous for being in the Senate for 30 years and never getting rich. Is he squeaky clean? I don’t know, but characterizing the situation as “both sides are corrupt” is close to disinformation.

        One uses a feather, the other beats you with a frozen chicken, but both are the same because they’re using poultry products.
