Joe Manchin to Democrats: "Our brand is toxic!"

[AProudLefty]

I wish you guys would stop blaming Trump for all of your own fuck-ups. You are HATERS who want to make America as shitty as possible, and you need to recognize that you are in the minority. Period.

What's wrong with that?

I didn't say there was anything "wrong with that", did I? I asked Christiecrite a question.

I think HB would have been prosecuted if someone had it in for him and reported him. But are you saying his prosecution was unjust?

I have conflicting opinions on Hunter.
He broke the law, no doubt. But if I were his father I woulda done the same that Brandon did - pardon him. HB is a wounded duck in recovery from a serious addiction. He paid his taxes w/ interest and penalties.
But Brandon never should have played the honorable politician and lied continuously about his true intentions.
As to Trump overvaluing his real estate holdings - that has to be the stupidest law he broke I ever heard of.
Did Bragg look into other real estate tycoons as rigorously as he did Trump's ? Probably not at all. I have to wonder if Trump was the first person ever to be convicted of that silly law.

I'll give another example of lawfare. Mike Flynn convicted of lying to the FBI when he wasn't even under oath in an investigation that turned out to be a complete hoax.

^My opinion is that Biden wouldn't have pardoned Hunter if Harris had been elected. I think he's trying to keep his family safe from trump's revenge.

Also, I posted a link that gave a sample of people convicted under that law. Laws can be stupid or silly but flout them at your risk.

My opinion

How about we have your opinion on this. trump is suing Ann Selzer and the DeMoines Register because for 5 minutes during the campaign, Selzer's poll showed Harris ahead by three points.

I accept your forfeit in the form of a "fuck you."

I simply asked a question.

I asked Christiecrite a question.

There's a lot of that going around.
