So I did some ducking around for a list of Trump's hatch act violations, and it seems there where so many during the 2020 campaign that nobody has gotten around to compiling a list of ones so far this year.
Apart from this, I know he's used the whitehouse page as his personal blog, and the housing administrations was being used for a political billboard...
What's the latest rule on how many times one has to blatently break a law before it goes into effect?
If Democrat then one.
If Republican then infinity.
Remember that time Obama wore tan suit? Such of outrage!
Treasonous it was! Almost as bad as Dijon Mustardgate. I swear that man has no bottom to the depths of his depravity.
bidens tan suit, walking barefoot on a beach, getting a hotodog, sipping from a STRAW, how outrageous. and it was jesse watters doing all these segments.
That and his infernal time machine. He keeps traveling around in it and doing shit to make Republicans look bad.
I remember when the conservatives were positively beside themselves, not knowing how to deal with him being biracial. On the one hand, they really, really wanted to use the n-word on some days. On other days, they'd want to, for some odd reason, point out to everyone that he's half-white, you guyz! He was committing the "crime" of being something they could not put in one box, and you just know how the conservative brain cannot deal with ambiguities...
In RepubliSpeak that's being a strong leader and getting things done.
off topic: I'm glad the term is catching on
"duck around, find out"
If democrat your democrat blue team is infallible but if your republican then your republican red team is infallible
With football politics the only right people are the ones making you believe you are part of their football team mean political party same thing here in the United States
As long as the one breaking the rules are from the persons political football team then they are doing no wrong democrat or republican
Actual merits and job performance and anything else that could make or not make someone hirable does not apply here just blind tribal sports politics ruling the day
You made TWO braindead Both Sides arguments under the same post, great job. Forget to sign into your alt account again?
Unlike republicans and democrats do not feel the need for alt accounts or shadow play
Rather do it in the light out in public
Are the Democrats and Republicans in the room with you now?
Yes, I am former President Bill Clinton on my burner account and I approve of this courageous voyagers message!
Can you give some examples of a time when a Democrat president just flagrantly disregarded the law with absolutely no repercussions
Andrew Johnson with torpedoing reconstruction?
Just off the top. As for modern era politics, not really.
Yea, see that's why a question like that has to come with qualifiers. Andrew Johnson was a democrat, but he was a conservative democrat from before the party flip.
He'd be a republican under the modern party ideals.
Obama drone striking American nationals on foreign soil with no due process.
Leaked Drone Papers
Leahy Law
You're not wrong, but. As I replied to your other comment:
This comes from a third party football team viewpoint that labels both the dominant teams misguided and seemingly infallible following, while also thinking their alternate team would be infallible if it could play.
There can be blind loyalty to anything. That's human nature. But you ignore the many times Democrats have burned their own because they do tend to take the higher path, whereas Republicans are more known to march in step and protect their own, usually while projecting onto the left the same behavior they did.
Your caricature is a strawman of politics. I wish it was as simplistic as you make it out to be.
Yeah, that’s called electoral politics. Do you know how earlier we would’ve gotten civil rights if the right were too busy arguing over who was more racist, whilst letting pro civil rights politicians gain power. Would’ve been awesome.
Unfortunately, right wingers know when to lock in and stop ANY semblance of progress from the left. I wish the left would figure this out by now.
the last president supported segregation of schools
sorry but dont just grow up from that take it from my great grandparents
and the last election we had harris and walz who both worked with republicans
walz worked with trump to take care of protesters that were fighting for all of us to live in a clean environment but hey democrats should get a free pass because they say and do a few good things compared to the republicans who democrats are supposedly fighting against on our behalf
at the dnc protesters who were fighting for all us there as well to have healthcare, a world without war, living wages, etcetera were locked out but the republicans and celebrities got in and had grand ol' time at the gala
where does the differences come in and how is does it help when democrats are bathing and sleeping with republicans
It's not that you're wrong, it's that you're trying to use a broad brush that groups everyone in the same light. No one is getting a free pass either, all of those have been mentioned in the scope that Democrats need to do better, and stop only going halfway when they manage to get traction. The American people need to do better too, the acceptance that this is how it is contributes to the problem. As does the apathy of "both sides" which you're using here.
As a side note: I'm usually not a stickler for grammar and spelling, I figure if there is understanding any mistakes are fine in a casual discussion. But I have to say your sentence structure is hard to follow sometimes. A bit better wording would allow your points to flow a bit better.
You should probably take your meds regularly. Who knows, maybe you'll feel better after a while.
