General Election 2024

Quote: RonC

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.

The vastly differing amounts makes this comparison comparing apples to bowling balls. One used a small fraction of the political donations in legal defense in an investigation by a special counsel. The other is spending more donations in legal fees than it usually takes in in legal defense in multiple jurisdioctions in both civil and criminal proceedings.

No, it doesn't in relation to calling it "wrong"...if it is "wrong", it is wrong.

I guess the new standard liberals want to use is that wrong only starts at a certain number.

I don’t think it is wrong, which is why this whole thing is so dumb to begin with! And you pretending liberals are outraged over the RNC paying Donny’s legal bills is ridiculous. We couldn’t be happier to watch them waste millions of their idiot donor’s dollars.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, a MAGA Republican shortlisted as a potential running mate for Donald Trump in November, is now legally barred from visiting some 10 percent of the lands in her home state—and can be thrown out of those places if she violates the order.
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Council voted on Tuesday to formally banish Noem from its reservation over recent public statements she made suggesting, among other things, that Native American tribal leaders are in league with Mexican drug cartels. Noem also recently accused Native American parents of not being involved enough in their children’s lives, blaming them for poor academic performance in tribal areas.
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is the third Lakota tribe in South Dakota to declare Noem persona non grata, following a banishment by the Oglala Sioux announced March 18, and another by the Cheyenne River Sioux announced April 5. The State of South Dakota does not have criminal jurisdiction on any of its nine Native American reservations.
“Noem has been notified not to trespass,” a spokesperson for the Lakota People’s Law Project told The Daily Beast of the Standing Rock Sioux banishment. “The tribe has the right to remove her if she were to trespass.”
In an email, Noem spokesman Ian Fury said, “Banishing Governor Noem does nothing to solve the problem. She calls on all our tribal leaders to banish the cartels from tribal lands.

The lengths RCP will go to keep Biden from taking the lead in their average is becoming a running joke on Election Twitter.
