Editor,

Joe Biden, the man I voted for, the man I respected, and the man I backed made a big mistake and ended up in the proverbial swamp Trump talked about.

Well Robert, many of us told you so. Biden is a habitual, conniving, and dishonest product of he political machine. He will never apologize and does not believe he needs to.

Well, Dirk, you could substitute Trump's name in your statement and it would be twice as accurate.

Rel, there is a reason that Joe Biden gave his son absolute immunity that covers the last 11 years for crimes that Hunter hasn’t been charged with. It’s because Joe knows his little baby boy funneled millions to him and family members, and Joe is protecting himself and the Obama’s. This is something we all should have known except for the TDS head in the sand dimwits like yourself. BTW, I don’t recall Trump giving blanket immunity to his sons because they are not extortionists, drug addicts and sex crazed weirdos.

It is easy and cowardly for anyone to hurl personal insults to other people in a forum, but not honorable. If you wish your opinion to carry any weight, then keep your commentary to the issues. For the record, Hunter Biden had two charges for which he could be indicted: tax fraud and a wrong entry on a gun application, neither considered to be charges resulting in jail time. President Biden definitely tarnished his legacy and name by pardoning his son, but I can understand every reason he did so, given the changed political environment.

Is there such a concept as "twice as accurate"? Reminds me of Chelsea Clinton who said once that they intended to be more transparent. How can one be more transparent than transparent? We are done talking about Trump but you can pick up the topic in 4 years.

Dirk, I am accurately happy you got the point about Trump. Also, we are decidedly not discontinuing talk about Trump for the next 4 years minimum.

Neither Trump nor his sons contrived to get a gun illegally while a drug addict or cheat the government out of $1.5 mil in taxes. Why should others be punished for the same charges while Hunter gets a free get out of jail" card?.

Rel Dec 3, 2024 11:15am

Speaking of a "Get Out of Jail" card, Trump is getting off scot free for inspiring 1/6, while upwards to a thousand of his followers were found guilty and spending serious prison time. Not to mention Trump gets off free from his 34 fraud felonies; his stealing classified documents, and the Georgia vote tampering.

Agree that Biden’s pardon of Hunter, who had serious Federal and state felony charges against him, is wholly unjust. Why should others who commit the same crime be sent to jail for 17 years which is the penalty for not paying $1.5 mi in taxes let alone lying on an application about not being an addict to obtain a gun.

The real reason Hunter Biden didn’t pay his taxes is it would have disclosed the illegal dealings he undertook at his father’s behest. The “the Big Guy'” likely pardoned Hunter to protect himself from being accused of accepting bribes from foreign governments through Hunter’s various foreign “entities”.

So Mr. Nice is okay with treasonous Biden and his America Last policies and Biden’s consistent lying since, well, forever, and now Mr. Nice is outraged? It sounds like Mr. Nice may be changing his tune until you see Mr. Nice throws shade at our great(er) President Trump who is head and shoulders, and everything else, above Biden. Hey Mr. Nice, God did help America by ensuring puppet Kamala wasn’t elected. Maybe Trump should start implementing Project 2025, eh Mr. Nice?

“Go peacefully” must be code for “time to riot” in Rel’s world, but not in the real world Rel. Trump has never been charged with an insurrection, only Merrick Garland’s political activism is the reason anyone has been charged, it was peaceful by video accounts except for an overzealous guard who shot an unarmed woman. The Jan 6 committee with Liz Cheney decided to bury and destroy exculpatory evidence. All charges against Trump were drummed up, fake and built on a house of cards that has now fallen. And yet the blind Jorgidian’s continue make false claims.

Rel Dec 3, 2024 7:31pm

Well, NSC, you may wish to sugarcoat 1/6, but the world saw Trump incite the riot by saying "And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore." Further the video evidence on the day is irrefutable. Nearly a thousand of his followers pled guilty to their actions that day, yet their inciter-in-chief goes free.

Not So Common Dec 3, 2024 7:45pm

You know, I know it and every honest or dishonest person knows it, “fight like hell meant” to fight for democracy. It didn’t mean to take over city streets in Seattle, like your Democrat compadres.

Look! Up in the sky. It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s the Rel-sistance? Rel’s feeble attempt to cherry-pick and resurrect (Rel-surrect?) the insurrection hoax. Of course, Rel conveniently forgets Trump’s tweets on Jan. 6 telling folks to remain peaceful and stay peaceful. But hey, inconvenient facts have no place in Rel’s narrative. Let’s all remind Rel to pick up the pieces of his popped balloons. Trump Derangement Syndrome is no excuse for littering. Vive le Rel-sistance!
