During the Kavanaugh witch trials, Biden himself said we have a responsibility to believe all women who make such accusations. Fine. Let's apply that same exact standard, Biden's standard to Tara Reade, and believe her. Or say that Biden's suggested standard is stupid.

You want to have it both ways. Biden's standard is brilliant, and it shouldn't apply to democrats.

the commies here


there it is more ultra MAGA rhetoric

jim the only one acting like a commie here is you ... suggesting people prove their innocence or their statements are true ... Because you disagree with their political position or you have a feeling

So whats your feeling about George Santos

there's more than enough researched fact checked information and his own words to draw an educated decision .

Jim the i can hold both sides to the same standard.

is nonsense your idea of standards a lie is a lie ...

there's no nuance there no objectivity no propositionality no context in that logic

"jim the only one acting like a commie here is you ... suggesting people prove their innocence or their statements are true"

So you just take my word for everything I post? You have never asked me to source anything? I forgot, it's OK when you do it, because you're a democrat.

"So whats your feeling about George Santos "

I've said it ten times, but here goes...I think he's unfit to serve based on the lies we know he told (many have been proven lies). Unlike you, I can hold both sides to the same standard. You'd only disqualify Republicans who lie about their background to get elected, you've demonstrated here that you don't care when democrats do it.

I never said every lie is the same, I agree some are worse than others. But Biden lying about getting arrested with Nelson Mandela and about participating in civil rights marches (I think?), and Blumenthal lying about serving in Vietnam...those seem at least as bad as Santos lying about what school he graduated from or where he worked previously.

How can you claim that Blumenthal's lie isn't as bad as what Santos said? By what logic could you claim that? Unless I'm not aware of the nature of Santos' lies? He lied about where he went to school, about being Jewish, about where he worked?

Lying to get elected, should be a crime. Some kind of fraud. I think Santos should be kicked out and do a month or 2 in prison. Same with democrats who do it.

I sit really so much to ask, that we apply the standards regardless of party? You can't do it, not on any one issue. You are constantly flip flopping.

your Man crush loses again

A US judge has ordered Donald Trump and one of his lawyers to jointly pay nearly $1m (£809,190) in fines for a "frivolous" lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and others.

The lawsuit accused Mrs Clinton and others of trying to rig the 2016 US presidential election by linking his campaign to Russia.

"This case should never have been brought," wrote US District Judge Donald M Middlebrooks in his order.

After calling reports that he was a drag queen "categorically false" and "outrageous," George Santos just admitted to dressing in drag, but insisted he wasn't a drag queen, but was just "young and had fun at a festival." So, drag-ish?

Jim can’t tell the difference between a dog and a cat, they both have tails…..so obviously they’re the same.

GOP elects the first drag queen and first self-described trans congressperson in American history with George Santos.

Sure he's full of #^&#^&#^&#^&, but this is really freaking significant and we should be talking about it more.

Has anyone else noticed that Santos like to pair khakis with a sweater and an orphaned striped suit jacket? This is a serious fashion don’t under any circumstance.

Move over George Santos, it appears that Republican Anna Paulina Luna from Florida allegedly lied about being raised Jewish and her grandfather was actually a fullblown Nazi who fought against the United States.

Don’t worry Fox is coming to her rescue https://www.foxnews.com/politics/was...resswoman-says


Freshman
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said Friday that the Washington Post's profile of her contained several mischaracterizations and factual errors, and said its suggestion that she only embraced her Hispanic heritage in order to run for office shows how far the mainstream press will go to attack conservatives.

Luna argued that she would not associate with someone who is antisemitic. “I in no way, shape or form would ever put myself in a position where I’m hanging out with someone like that, and so I just don’t see that Marjorie Taylor Greene is that person,” said Luna, who is 33. “If I see it happening on the right, I’m the first person to condemn it and say, like, ‘Hey, that’s not cool. I don’t align with that.’”
