I disagree with that.


You can dislike a policy that somebody campaigned on. But, if they get elected and enact that policy, you can't act shocked and outraged that it was an unexpected move.

It would be like getting mad at Trump for building a wall (or trying to). Everyone knew that he was going to start eventually because he talked about it endlessly during the campaign.

Joe Biden now only has "One Broken Promise" (1%) from his campaign (everything else is in the works or being stalled, or a compromise) :

Versus Trump who had 55 broken campaign promises (53%) (though to be fair nothing stalled or in the works, some compromises, but he usually got something he wanted or forgot about it. This is likely do to his crowd pleaser mentality where he just spurts ideas in speeches to see what lands, never to be brought up again) . :

It comes down to showing that you are at least attempting to do what you promise. You can disagree with the soundness of a policy, but you can't disagree with the premise of somebody keeping a promise.

Yawn
I'm still waiting to hear what on the laptop
If all you got is "big guy" then it's a total nothingburger
It's almost as if the right believes the mere existence was supposed to change my vote
Nope
I need pertinent facts like WTF is on the laptop.

Zuckerberg has admitted during an interview with Joe Rogan that the FBI came to him before the election and told him to bury the Hunter laptop story on Facebook. Nothing to see here TP go back to Wiki.

But he really REALLY would have won it if only the MSM would have reported on Hunter’s laptop!”

Wow
Facebook
I get news from a lot of sources
I even check foxnews
Did foxnews bury the story??????????
Wasn't foxnews reporting on this nothingburger 24/7
Why isn't that good enough for you
I don't get any news from FB. 0. Nada. Zero. Nothing.
I'd be shocked if anybody here used FB as a source
Talk about embarrassing:-)

And that is why this is such a huge coverup. If the the FBI even went to Facebook to bury the story then imagine how fast they hit the main news outlets. The NYT admitted some time ago they were told to bury the story because it was fake news. This spring they admitted it wasn't fake news and they were wrong to bury it.

So you feel it is okay for the FBI to pressure the media not to cover a story. Welcome to the police state TP.
