    An opinion piece from a spineless hack that should be ignored by all.

    No one should be above the law.

      Good job. Don’t comment on what he actually said. Just condemn him because of who he is. No wonder we have so many clueless tools that are getting fucked by their own politicians. People who are incapable of thinking for themselves and used as pawns.

    Don’t do the crime, don’t do the time. Whatever happened to the right wing being the party of law and order?

    The irony of complaining about the Trump-Biden divide when OP seems to be deeply invested in every pointless conservative culture war

      Wrong again. Conservatives have issues with the Republican Party and Trump. We think for ourselves. Leftists follow the direction of the Lying Liberal media and the DNC. They never question anything. They are incapable of thinking for themselves. And as the biden regime continues to fuck them they double down on believing the lies that “it’s not us…it’s them who are fucking you.” Might be time to do independent research. It is the only chance you have to finally realize that you are just a pawn.

        Not a single post in this entire community is from a conservative complaining about the republican party or Trump.

      The problem with Trump was that he challenged the existing system. The system that has been fucking us for decades. The huge federal government which exists not to make our life better but to insure THEM cushy jobs. Both political parties feed at the trough that WE provide via our taxes. Think of it as a private Country Club. Trump did his best to end the exclusivity of the Club and put more buying power and security into the lives of the regular people like us. The mainstream media is part of that Club and they were certain to make sure that Trump would be brought down with lies so they could remain protected. And at least half the country still believes the lies.

        What policies do you think served that goal?

        What lies exactly?

          The tax cut was a big step. Everyone suddenly had more buying power. More financial security provides more independence fo you to make choices in your life. He also saved the country billions by ending moronic trade deals that we had with other countries and NATO. Are you kidding about the lies? The most blantant were the russia, russia hoax which even the lying liberal media had to finally admit was a LIE. Shit liars like cnn along with so many others told you that lie for over 2 years. And the thought of people still considering them a news source is laughable

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Cuts_and_Jobs_Act

            Many tax cut provisions, especially income tax cuts, will expire in 2025,[9] and starting in 2021 will increase over time; by 2027 this would affect an estimated 65% of the population and in that same year the law’s provisions are set to be fully enacted,[10] but the corporate tax cuts are permanent.

            Kind of weird that he’d let the income tax cuts expire but leave the corporate tax cuts then, right?

            Also please be more specific about the ‘lies’ you’re babbling about. Do you have any sources for these ‘lies’ or is it just random things you’ve heard but never actually researched?

              A corporation sells you and item for $5.00. You lower their corporate tax and they charge you less and pay their employees more. Raise their tax rate and the opposite applies. I always get a laugh when people don’t understand cause and effect. The higher the taxation rate on a corporation the more WE get fucked

                Do you have any data to support that theory or do trickle down economics just sound right enough to you?

                  The “data” is common sense and how commerce has worked since the beginning of time. Are schools really so fucked up now that they don’t even teach the basic theory of cause and effect?

        No, he claimed that he would challenge the existing system. The problem was that people actually believed him…

        I get that people are fed up with the system, I get that people are desperate, but it should have been pretty obvious to most people that Trump is lying and is not only unable to challenge the system, but is unwilling to change it, at least in ways that don’t exclusively benefit him…

        Trump did his best to end the exclusivity of the Club and put more buying power and security into the lives of the regular people like us.

        How? By giving tax cuts to the ultra wealthy? At some point, you have to look reality in the eye and realize that you have been played by him… He is a private country club in human form. The man lives in a mansion and owns multiple golf courses…
