Jim, there is no Biden Rule, Mitch made it up.

Democrats didn’t try to steal the 2016 election. There were a handful of protest challenges over Russian election meddling and a few states potentially not following the law. None of it was heard because there was no support in the Senate so by law Biden had to move forward. Trump on the other hand had a well coordinated effort to actually overturn the election that happened to fail.

Huge difference.

Biden didn’t say that senate democrats should prevent Bush 42 from nominating someone late in his term? you’re denying that?

Biden was talking about late in an election, nothing about a nomination between an election and the end of the term which is exactly what Mitch did.

Biden said late in a term. Obama tried to nominate Garland
late in a term.

therefore, they did what biden insisted the democrats do

i’m talking about garland.

With Barrett, it was bad luck for your side, but again, the american people chose a republican president and a republican senate. as your man crush liked to say, elections have consequences.

after what your side did to Bork and Kavanaugh, it’s interesting that you’re clutching your pearls when republicans play hard ball too.

I’m all for a return to civility, but only if both sides agree to it. The GOP is done taking cheap shots and being asked to respond with velvet gloves. That ended with Mitt Romney. Get used to it.

Your in denial

A) because they didn’t succeed there’s no problem

B). Yet Conservatives like yourself and others and many elected officials want to only focus on the day Jan 6th and those
You so casually refer to as a small number of jerks .

Yet you and those other refuse to see the elephants in the The Oval Office , to include the POTUS who showed great willingness to attempt to overturn a legal and fair American election

And have refused to testify about their attempt and ideas

That’s why newsmax won’t air the hearings But they air every Trump rally and run every TDS story they can find !

Fox News, the nation’s top cable news channel,
the supposed fair and balanced news station won’t air the hearings

Funny how that works

i’m not saying there no problem. i’m saying it’s a problem when anyone cheats

you only care when republicans do it.

i have nonissue with talking honestly about january 6. none of you will admit what a small number of democrat jerks did i. 2016.

democrats in congress questioned state results that went for trump. even biden admitted they had zero basis to question the returns in those states, but they tried to do it anyway

in 2016 a small number on jerks tried to steal the election. In 2020, a smal number of jerks tried to steal the election.

You still refuse to admit Trump and certain GOP officials trying to steal the election was wrong

You support seditious attempts against American democracy!

And your Defense is not a defense at all , it’s just more false equivalence and excuse

It’s like comparing what happened in
Uvaled

To a gang banger shooting another gang banger

Their not the same or even in the same category but keep trying to re define the truth with your revisionist history

"You still refuse to admit Trump and certain GOP officials trying to steal the election was wrong "

Are you unvbelievably stupid? or unbelievably dishonest?

What Trump did was awful. I hope he gies away and never rund for anything again. Ever.

Is that going too fast for you? Do you need me to simplify that?

You're the hypocrite who constantly refuses to hold your own side to the standards you hold the GOP to. You don't care that elected congressional democrats also tried to reverse the outcome of a free and fair election. You refuse to condemn that.

You are the one defending it when your side does what you say you're opposed to.

Is that how you express it when the POTUS try’s to steal a National election in the United States of America.

What Trump did was awful

I am sorry I don’t understand that minimization.. But then again if that’s how you feel who am I to convince you otherwise. Time to move on👍

here’s the right wing nuts at the New York Times,,reporting on Bidens insistence that senate democrats prohibit Bush from nominating someone late in his term.

But it’s ok when democrats do it!!
