"Let’s face it- we live in a depraved culture. I didn’t want to believe it at first, but I fear God may allow our nation to enter into a time of judgment for our collective sins," he said.
Is it just me, or are lefties way more into the misdeeds of politicians and celebrities? I mean, sure it’s important, but it feels like the left cares more. Maybe it’s just confirmation bias.
The right doesn’t care about bigotry and double standards. It’s not just okay if their politicians lie and do bad things, it’s expected and supported. Compared to that, the left is definitely more aware of their own politicians misdeeds, and actually punishes them.
If you want examples, just look how long it took the right to remove Santos from his position - and even then the majority tried to keep him in his position.
Saying ‘I’m gonna be a dictator’ as a part of your campaign is more than a scandal. Calling your political opponents vermin is more than just gossip. Anybody who cares about freedom should be extremely concerned. This isn’t how a democracy is supposed to work.
Do you expect us to not take the promises of politicians to do evil as something to be concerned about?
I am concerned. It’s why I’m voting for Trump. I can’t take another four years of Biden’s Misogny and fascist tendencies. I can’t handle another four years of Bidenomics.
You have it so far backwards it isn’t even a joke. I don’t have any more willingness to dredge up any more of the shit I’ve saved over the years. But it’s fair to say that I’m only pointing out the tip of the iceberg.
Yeah, it’s called a gishgallop. Wikipedia link There were a few reddit users that used the same technique. Just because they have a lot of links doesn’t mean that those links actually prove the argument, or if those links actually say what he thinks they say. I could go into a deep dive, and individually refute all those links, but that’d take hours, and I just don’t think it’s worth the time or effort.
I’m not even 100% sure what argument pizza is making, is Trump going to be a fascist dictator or something?

No they don’t. Good lord keep the conversation honest.
Aoc comitted several ethical issues and you are cheer her on. She also “faked” her arrest.
Both sides are slimey and both sides protect their side
Could you show me where I cheer her on?
If you want to, you can list a couple of the ethical issues you speak of. If they are actual ethical issues, I’ll disavow her here and now.
But I can’t imagine that they rise to the utter shit-show that was Santos, who - again - is STILL supported by the majority of house republicans.
Why the what aboutism? Everyone says santos must go. I’ve yet to see anyone defend his actions.
Santos goes beyond politics.
The majority of house republicans wants him to stay. Literally, more house republicans disagree with what you just wrote than agree with it.
But again, I’m not trying to employ any whataboutisms here. List some of AOCs ethical issues, and I’ll disavow her here and now.

I hereby disavow AOC for this ethical issue, she should be punished appropriately.
So you approve her being removed ?
What a monster
For anyone who doesn’t want to read the article, AOC stands accused of failing to pay for hairstyling and possibly a dress.
Eventually she did pay, as far as I can tell.
This particular event isn’t just a misdeed. It’s open admission of homophobia.
Us libs police our politicians more harshly. Is that what you mean?
Yall seem to go after people over mere accusations. (Not that its the case here) Seems to be more vigilante than police if you ask me.
So yeah, harsh is definitely a word I’d use.
I would agree. They love gossip and “scandals”. Not sure it’s because they are naive or what.

Did he say that? Looked to me he was going for the god angle more than anything.

What does that have to do to with Mike Johnson? Unless I completely misunderstood, you’re just spamming links.
I was referencing a different example of “scandal and gossip” as you put it, Trump’s Hitler like speeches.
Did he actually say that? Okay if he did, it doesn’t matter.
I am concerned. It’s why I’m voting for Trump. I can’t take another four years of Biden’s Misogny and fascist tendencies. I can’t handle another four years of Bidenomics.
You have it backwards. Trump is the one who said he is going to be a dictator.
Trump is the one that called his political opponents vermin (and therefore basically quoting Hitler.
The republicans are the ones seeking to increase the power of the executive branch.
Trump is the one eroding trust in democracy by lying for years about the 2020 election.
Trump is the one being acting like a strongman (a common trait amongst fascists).
Trump is the one proclaiming that he and he alone can save the country (another strongman tactic).
Trump is the one galvanizing public rage against a made up group of elites for his own political power.
Trump is the one who said that there is a “Tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border”. That’s an incredibly white supremacist thing to say in case that needed to be spelled out.
Trump is the one who is treating women, minorities, and anything outside of a heteronormative lifestyle as second class:
“When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything”
"You have to treat [women] like shit.”
Discrimination against black people in his housing
Banning trans people from the military
Appointing numerous openly homophobic judges
He stripped the ACA of anti-discrimination law for queer people
Trump was the one who encouraged police violence against minorities.
Trump was the one who said a group of neo-nazis had ‘very fine people’ among them.
Trumo was the one who told the Proud Boys, a group of white suppremacists to “Stand back and stand by”.
Trump was the one who hired a guy with ties to white nationalist groups.
Trump was the one who called mexicans rapists.
It was Trump’s supporters who attempted to kidnap and possibly execute a democratic govenor, shortly after he tweeted “LIBERATE MICHIGAN”.
Trump is the one who installed the supreme courts necessary to overturn Roe, which later resulted in his party instituting laws that turned civilians into spies that are rewarded for turning people into the state for “crimes” such as transporting pregnant women.
Trump was the one who pardoned Arpaio for racial discrimination.
Trump was the one who pardoned his own administration members when they were caught lying to congress, misusing campaing funds, doing tax evasion, etc.

Godamn, you got any sources to back up this claim lolol
I’m talking about Biden and your tds kicks in again. Please stay on topic.
You weren’t just talking about Biden. You’re the one who brought up Trump. At least try to keep up.
That is talking about Biden. I said that is why I was voting for Trump.
Quote the line above that please.
Why stay on topic when he can spam a ton of links nobody asked for or wanted
What I find odd is they have to tell about Trump. No matter the topic.
How’s the weather?
Here is 50 links on Trump.
Trump could be the devil but I’d still vote for him if Joe.
You’re the one who brought up Trump when you said “It’s why I’m voting for Trump”. You can’t even tell the truth about the conversation itself.
