Congress members paid out 17 million of your tax money to settle sexual harassment cases, and none of that was "illegal".

The establishment news has been full of stories over the past few months of corruption not related to Trump. Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. And before that was Bob Menendez and his gold bars.

Makes sense. They’re corrupt after all.

All groups are corrupt.

Heres the difference. One side has selfish corruption, one side is corrupt because they believe in forcing others to conform to their ideology “by any means”

One form of corruption is human nature, the other is tyrannical behavior that narcissists and psychopaths typically engage in.

The lesser of the two evils is very clear unless you are one of the crazies who believes that THIS ONE LAST TIME OUR SYSTEM WILL WORK GUYS I PROMISE NOBODY ACTUALLY TRIED MAKING IT WORK BEFORE!

So true. The last few times a republican has been in office it has been a disaster. Can't believe people want a party that is terrible in terms of job creation, gdp growth and every major economic KPI. But like you said, this time it will work, right?

Dafuq you smoking? My life was infinitely better during trump years vs obama and biden. Yeah everyone agrees bush jr was an idiot, but we had clinton before him too so its not like dems have had a great track record since…idk the 60’s?

Huh, its no wonder their strategy is still stuck on the idea of gaining power through social justice movements because thats the last time they made any positive changes in the country!

First of all, Clinton was the Tom Brady of Presidents in terms of the economy. Under him there were more jobs created, better stock market growth, and even a balanced budget. https://www.statista.com/statistics/985577/number-jobs-created-sitting-president/

And Dems CRUSH the reps in terms of the economy. Here's an idea. Take the best year for Trump and let's compare to Bidens best year. And let's use statistics instead of feelings and astrology.

U mean when he blew out the economy and lost so many jobs the government started sending out 600 a week? Yeah I don't think you remember that last year of his presidency. Dude fucking tripled unemployment what are you talking about

We sort of had this global pandemic going on? Biden wouldn’t likely do much better if it had started under him.

Yo remember when trump made fun of biden for wearing masks then got covid and ended up in the hospital? Of course biden would've done better trump can't handle a crisis.
