with trump and his bastard henchmen - of course. But Im extremely disgusted and furious with the Democrats and the media who do not see the hypocrisy of this moment. So Biden changed his mind about pardoning his son because he read the tea leaves and saw the future, and the future is Trumps unquenchable thirst for vengeance. On the flip side are the pardons trump doled out to his friends: Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, Charles Kushner and so many of his criminal friends. Does the media focus on that? No. And the Democrats and the never Trumpers? They pontificate about how Biden lied and that this will embolden trump to pardon the J6 and numerous other criminals. As if trump wouldnt have pardoned them anyway. Im just so disappointed with some of these Dems. We are in a war and their reaction and behavior will make us lose.

(1,536 posts)The Dems didn't truly do much harm..It's the right-wing owners of the media that tipped the scales.
Most elections are won by small amounts. Fox news, and the likes of right-wing radio probably tilted the uneducated just enough.
