General Election 2024

Quote: ams288

Deflection.

This issue PERFECTLY encapsulates your worldview.

The DNC spends $2 million on Biden’s legal fees, the RNC spends $64 million (so far) on Donny’s.

Which side do you choose to post about and act like there is some awful double standard against the RNC, even though you are incapable of finding anyone here who actually seemed to care about it in the first place?

You continue to deflect.

I don’t even know what I’m deflecting anymore other than your “both sides” BS

To me this election is REALLY ‘both sides’ BS. The Democrat candidate is weak, and the Democrat agenda is disastrous. The Republican candidate is an abomination, and the ‘regular’ Republican agenda is mutated by the wackos (Greene, Boebert, Gaetz, etc..).

If that’s ‘deflecting’ tell me what I’ve deflected from?

Truth Sockyou.

Some people may be surprised to hear that someone can get a massive stock-related bonus as a reward for their stock’s performance even as the stock collapses and outside investors get hosed.


If so, they probably haven’t done business before with Trump. Many of them now have.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

And warn you.

And warn you.

Even at the current stock price, Trump’s bonus would be worth $1.1 billion. As it happens, that is almost exactly the same amount of money that ordinary retail investors have lost on the stock since the company went public.

As lawyers like to say, res ipsa loquitur. That is, the thing speaks for itself.

Mark Cuban critiques fellow billionaire for criticizing Biden for buying votes with loan forgiveness, pointing out how Trump also bought votes.

At least that seems to be the gist of it.

That your beloved Democrats are incapable of doing wrong.

Wrong CAN be at different levels.

The guy who said something was wrong with using campaign money to pay legal bills used campaign money to pay legal bills.

Perhaps your worldview is a little out of kilter. Forget perhaps.

Which guy said that?

Certainly not Biden.

You are right..it was Biden's campaign folks that said it.

It doesn't change much, if anything. People speak for Biden all the time. If they say something that is not true or he does not want them to say, he can always take clear and decisive action. He even uses a term very often. It makes people shudder and stop doing things.

"Don't"

At least some in the press has said that Biden has criticized Trump on this issue:

"Mr Biden has repeatedly criticised former President Donald Trump, his likely election challenger, for using donor funds to pay his legal fees."

Only the entire premise of your dumb both sides argument.

Only the entire premise of your dumb both sides argument.

It doesn't change a thing. I stated up front that the amounts were not the same but the fact that Biden attacked Trump/Republicans for doing it and then Biden and team did the same thing does make Biden and team hypocrites.

When someone on Biden's team speaks for the campaign or for the White House, they are speaking for the President. The President has the option of refuting the words spoken in his name or doing nothing. Doing nothing implies that the statement is accurate and acceptable to him.

Living under a rock and not understanding that real people see what rabid partisans don't is a flaw of people who can only see things in one way.
