Will see won’t we.

Are the tax payers paying his salary?

Is that what you believe is important about this? I know you think much larger than that.

Of course, but is the board of Burisma part of our government?

Everything I see about this dictates that our government has made it our business.

Every time an example of right wing corruption is given, you post something along the lines of this:

Yep…now where’s Comey, Strozk, Page, McCabe or Ohr?

You can’t expect anyone else to be “fair” if you can’t do it yourself.

How am I not “fair”? They are from both sides politically.

Do you respond to threads about left wing corruption by saying “Well, what about McConnell, Hunter, Trump, etc”?

I don’t think so.

What’s Comey?

And unions. And democrats.

Yup…they too should not have that right as well.

Right?

Do you comment when you see a poster on the left not treating all sides with equanimity?

Trump, you, and nearly every other Republican alive, did not give a damn until Biden decided to enter the 2020 race.

You know me better than that. I gave a “damn” at the exact moment it happened but…I was unaware. I hope you truly know, I don’t want this kind of feces…period.

TheDoctorIsIn · 2019-12-22T23:39:42.256Z

You should read the thread for context.

If a poster on the left goes out of their way to brag about their own “fairness” while acting exactly as they accuse others of acting, then yes - I will call them out.

TheDoctorIsIn · 2019-12-22T23:40:09.586Z

Did you mean to so clearly make my point for me, or was that an accident?

Does the fact that no other Republican, in the media, or in congress,never brought it up…until Biden entered the race…raise a huge flag?

And since then, it is now known, that situation was investigated, and no illegal or corrupt acts were discovered. Maybe that is why it did not make any big news.

Yeah…run with that.

You responded to my pointing out your hypocritical whataboutism with more whataboutism.

You see that, right?

McConnell is elected. Elected is not swamp. Unelected bureaucrats are swamp.

Yes, we need term limits in Congress.

I for one completely agree that we absolutely should have term limits. The only thing I would say differently about this post is that career politicians like McConnell, Biden, etc., are absolutely part of the swamp.

LucyLou · 2019-12-23T00:04:36.971Z

From the OP link

"Meanwhile, McConnell continues to campaign for reelection on his ability to deliver for Kentucky from his high perch in Washington.

When a major spending bill passed the Senate in late October, McConnell claimed credit for a windfall of federal grants in Kentucky — explicitly mentioning support for his constituents’ applications to the Transportation Department’s INFRA and BUILD grant programs."

I hope Kentucky 15-flushes it’s swamp next fall.

Do you think its Swampy that Trump has his daughter and his son in-law working in positions they have no prior experience in? And profiting from those positions?

Anything that would lead an intelligent person like yourself, into a questionable understanding is probably questiionable to me too? You and I don’t think that far apart…IMO.

Yes I care. It’s obvious that Hunter Biden was given a job because of who his father was. I do not like influence peddling.

Just like I don’t like that Ivanka and Jared are doing it right now.
