if you were listening, i'm saying that he needs to be held to some truly egregious shit for the repubs to vote him out. I'm not sure this current case is that earth shaking


I was listening, what i just described is egregious shit. withholding aid to investigate Biden.

if what you're saying is "he'd basically have to murder someone" then this is a partisan manner. murder shouldnt be the bar for presidential misdeeds.

you only think it isn't egregious because you're using your own definition for "opponent" that the dictionary doesnt agree with. which is more than pointless, because even if Trump withheld aid so Ukraine would investigate Rosie Odonnell it would be egregious.

if he doesn't have the power to decide when and where to give out aid packages, why does he have that power in the first place

Blah blah lol

I just see you for the pandering Dunning-Kruger that you are. Not my fault you can't handle being taken to task for the bullshit you peddle.


Run mental laps around you anyday brosef ;)

I'm just kidding, you're alright.

it's a check and balance of power. the legislature votes on aid packages and the executive branch facilitates them.

just as the president nominates SCOTUS justices, and the senate votes on them for approval.

the US govt is built on these checks and balances. abusing these checks on power for political reasons isnt good.

or are we still on the whole "this isn't political because biden and trump aren't direct opponents, yet" thing?

i never said it wasn't political, lol. yes i did say they aren't direct political opponents, which they aren't :p

if don Jr was in hunter bidens place and this whole situation was turned around, the dems would also be calling it corruption

i haven't commented on what biden or biden Jr. did

trump did say he was draining the swamp, so maybe in his infantile brain this is part of it

Shroedinger would say currently they both are and aren't political opponents. because the box has not yet been opened.

saying outright they aren't opponents is factually incorrect.

can i ask what your native birth language is? im guessing it's perhaps not english.

do you agree or disagree with Schrodinger's assertion on unknowable events?

and how does that apply to Biden in the primary with respect to the general election?
