WDMSO, since you claim to dislike makes hypocrisy, please explain this…

When Biden was a senator and Bush was president, Biden said that a sitting president near the end of his term shouldn’t appoint supreme court justices, and if the president tried, the senate should block him. This became
known as the “ Biden rule.”

Then when Biden was VP, he and Obama attempted to violate the Biden rule by nominating Garland. McConnell enforced the Biden rule, and he was attacked.

Then when Trump was president, he did exactly what Biden and Obama attempted to do by filling a vacancy late in the term. Biden was opposed

So Biden flip-flopped on the issue multiple times. It’s ok when democrats want to make a late term appointment, but wrong when republicans do it.

how is that not naked hypocrisy.

I think Michelle Obama would be unstoppable in any presidential
election as long as she’s alive. Don’t ask me why, as i find her impossible to like and she hasn’t done anything, but i can’t imagine ever being at a point where there’s a republican who could beat her. I hope she never runs.

If Michelle doesn’t run, and Trump doesn’t run ( we desperately needed him in 2016, there’s no other human being on the planet who had a chance against Hilary, but we don’t need him in 2024) i like the gops chances.

The "Biden Rule" is a rhetorical trick McConnell made up to justify his dirty pool on blocking Garland. Then he shamelessly flipped on it once Ginsberg died right before the election.

That's your hypocrisy.

In Jims world a thief isn’t a hypocritical as long as they stay a thief

And Republicans can’t be called hypocritical because they always say no.. its risk free

That’s why they won’t say No Trump please stop lying Biden won the election

But they will say No to the Jan6th
commission




They did vote No to certify the election against the will of the people

And shockingly the majority of the law and order party voted No to hold Mark Meadows in contempt of Congress! Classic

Republicans putting party before country

I am not talking about you. These are the people whom I am referring to
82% of Fox News, 97% of OANN, Newsmax Viewers Believe Trump's Stolen Election Claim

I highly doubt Biden will run and if Republicans want a chance they won’t run Trump

And I doubt Harris will get the nomination .. a lot can change next 3 years

I highly doubt Biden will run(he can't even speak)

And I doubt Harris will get the nomination(she had zero support last time and she's even less popular now)

^^these are bold predictions

inflation at less than a 30 year high would be nice.

Wharton School Of Busimess says the average american family spent $3500 more in 2021, to live the same as they did in 2020.

and covid deaths are somehow up, despite availability of vaccines and the fact that you’d assume the sickest of the sick died first.

and illegal border crossings are up 140% compared to same month last year.

none of those things are 100% biden’s fault. but he’s not blameless for any of them, either.

The stock market is still soaring, and unemployment is plummeting, and he gets credit for that too.

A guy in charge who doesn’t have to wear adult diapers would be a starting point.
A guy who doesn’t rip long nasty farts in front of the royal family would be another example.

So you can’t post your own Opinion?

But you supply the Opinion from such a neutral source regurgitates right wing talking points it’s comical

Biden's refusal to enforce our immigration laws, is stunning. That number includes thousands of so-called amnesty seekers, who are generally released into the country with an order that they show up for a hearing in the distant future—an order that often goes ignored. It also includes people who are unvaccinated or infected with COVID-19, as well as gang members, drug traffickers, sex traffickers and even individuals on terrorism watchlists. The president's primary duty is to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed." Biden has willfully failed to do so. That is an impeachable offense.

Benghazi select committee On May 8, 2014, the House voted 232–186 to establish the select committee, with 225 Republicans and 7 Democrats in favor, and 186 Democrats voting against.[1] The chairman of the committee was Representative Trey Gowdy from South Carolina.[2] It was the last of six investigations conducted by Republican-controlled House committees. The committee closed on December 12, 2016,[3] after issuing its final report.[4]

October 22, 2015, Clinton testified for a second time before the Benghazi Committee and answered members' questions for more than eight hours in a public hearing. No executive privilege BS no refusing of a subpoena



Jan 6th committee Republicans have stonewalled the investigation since day 1 many refused lawful subpoena’s or just sued the committee or reused to speak Flynn the latest trying to run out the clock until 2022 banking on the house to flip and other complicit Republicans sweep it under the rug to protect them and Trump and their attempt to overthrow the election. What fine Americans

This is what hypocrites really look like 👍
