Yes, though probably he was joking again.
SAD, it's acceptable if it's your hero. (that you don't really like)

let’s back up. when i said biden said some awful things, you said it was “bizarre” of me to believe he said them. so i posted the videos showing he said exactly what i claimed he said. exactly.

did you ever respond to that? is it still bizarre for
me to claim Biden said those things?

obama separated
kids from parents at the birder. No one said anything. Trump expands in that, and he gets accused of setting up concentration camps, if being this monster. Why was it acceptable for obama to do
it?

this is the hypocrisy and derangement. pointing that out, doesn’t make me a trump sympathizer. i hate trump, but i think criticism should
be fair and accurate. not tinfoil
hat wearing gibberish.

The difference between Trump and almost any other politician is quantity. No politician has been perfect in beliefs or gaffe free to my knowledge, but none have broken the envelope in the way Trump has. Apparently he is acceptable to you. SAD

You dodged my question completely. Was it "bizarre" for me to claim Biden said those things? Or is there proof that he actually said them? Do you stand my the insult you threw at me?

So you agree that past presidents, some of whom you support, did the same things Trump does. He just des it more often.

I completely, 100% agree with that statement. So stop acting as if the others didn't do the same exact thing, with your approval.

"Apparently he is acceptable to you"

His behavior is unacceptable to me, for the 1,000th time. But like with my CEO, I can put up with him being a jerk, if he makes my life better. Trump is making my life better IMO, so if he wants to be a world-class jerk along the way, that's better than a well-mannered idiot who can't do anything right. Isn't it?

It's also worth pointing out that his opponent in the 2016 election, also took lying, greed, and corruption to new heights. She wasn't as crass or as vulgar as Trump, but a disgusting person nonetheless.

Character wasn't on the ballot in 2016.

Sorry if you are insulted, I assumed you were happy that you found the backup for your claim and your ego didn't need my approval.

Everyone can screw up, the difference between a moral person and in immoral one is knowing that you did, apologizing if needed.
Still waiting to see Trump do that once.

Trump is a congenital liar and that is unacceptable to me.

Not many CEOs i've worked for or known have been jerks, a few but they were not the most successful ones. One was comparable in narcissism to Trump, he committed suicide eventually.
I'm sorry that you have to work for a jerk and perhaps you should make your feelings known, I'm sure he'd appreciate the criticism and comparison.

Hillary lost the electoral college years ago, get over it.

Hopefully there will be a worthy candidate and character will count in this election.

You asked me to answer your question, I took it head-on. I asked you to answer my question, you refused. I tried. Have a good day Pete.

What is bizarre is your insistence on claiming moral parity when there is none.

He insulted me when I claimed Biden said some things, said it was bizarre that I could accuse Biden of saying them. You claimed that no sane person thinks Biden is a jerk. So I posted multiple videos of Biden saying the exact things I claimed he said. Neither of you had it in you, to admit I was right. What does that say about you two?
