Remember that time when Hunter Biden was put in charge of the pandemic response?

Basically the same as Trump stuff, when you think about it.

That there are worse criminals isn’t an excuse for the existence and support of lesser ones, unless you think Hunter is a “white hat failson” or something

Oh cool was somebody excusing and supporting Hunter Biden or were you confusing the point I was actually making with the one you wanted me to make in order be more easily able to engage?

Hunter is your typical nepotism case with a powerful and influential father. Has he committed crimes? Almost certainly - most of them do. Will he face punishment for them? Probably not - most of them don't. Should he be investigated? Sure, absolutely. Is it a big deal? No, not really. It's a systemic issue, and while we can and should go after individual bad actors, our system is currently set up to encourage them to exist.

But equivocating Hunter to the Trump clan is comparing a molehill to a mountain. And that mountain is just the stuff that we know for a fact, like working directly for the government, getting security clearances, and trading on the sitting president's name as the head of the president's multinational corporation.

Is someone saying that Hunter committed crimes and that's okay because Trump is worse? I haven't seen that.

I see a lot of "what Trump's family did is far worse than what Hunter did" which is true as far as I can tell.

If Hunter committed a crime, he should be punished for it. If Trump or his family committed a crime, they should be punished for it. Nobody should be above the law. This isn't hard.

They've already investigated him; the only crime they found was lying on a form.

It's the same with all the other stuff right wing media loves to hammer on about : they want to open an investigation into Benghazi or Hillary's emails, the investigation happens and finds nothing, and then they continue as if that never happened.

Yeah, that poo poo was wrong like 5 or 6 kind of ways from tax payer funds abuse to just straight up bribery.

Edit Or as reminded by opening arguments today that time they used the Oval Office to hawk Ivanka stuff for a commercial and OLC recommended that people be fired for it and they all just laughed.

That report about younger voters really coming out turned out to be premature, as I recall seeing other reports after that showing that the final result for Gen Z voting was less than I believe 2018.

Turn out was higher in certain states like PA, but overall lower than 2018. But what Gen Z voters who did show up were overwhelmingly Dem which and pretty much cancelled out the old people.

Gen Z voted overwhelming Democratic this year, and that's what people are focusing on. But it was more a matter of the Boomers, Silents and Gen X's numbering being diminished enough though death and general voter depression that Millenials and Gen Z, those of them that bothered to show up to vote, finally barely broke even with them, bolstered by the leftward-leaning slice of the older electorate that's still kicking around.

Ideologically speaking though, the kids are alright.

Oh, eat poo poo, FOX News and Tucker Carlson and your entire lot.

"We just can't help shooting people so long as the radical left keeps insisting they're human beings" can get right out of my face with this poo poo. I hate these loving shills to the core but I don't wanna kill any of them.

Wishing they would die, on the the other hand, kind of tests my empathy levels and I aint gonna cry if either of these people suffers a massive coronary - not gonna lie - but I'll assert that there's a big difference there between thinking that and oiling up my gun.

"If you want people to stop murdering trans and gay people then maybe they should stop being gay and trans/asking for it" is something I'd like to think would be headline news and dismissed out of hand in a civilized nation but gently caress me if they haven't normalized this horrible nonsense and it makes me sick.

What's interesting is that if the Tucker Carlson's of the world continue this kind of behavior, they are likely going to continue losing elections. You are starting to see it some conservative media, there are less stories about Trump but you've got so many idiots on conservative media and in Congress that are going to keep rooting for MAGA Morons. As time goes on, these folks will become less popular. Yes, they'll be popular but only with their own base. That's not enough to win elections.
