Many never TRUMPers agree with that sentiment. However, we are just pointing out that the same microscope uncovering "dirt" on Biden be pointed in TRUMP'S direction as well. And as we have demonstrated, it's not hard to find "dirt" there as well. Some of it even more scummy that the "crimes" that Biden is accused of. Hell, even the accusations that Shillary is alleged to have committed were or are currently being done by TRUMP and co. People in glass houses for sure. Okay. But if it comes to a point where voters are saying "Yes, my candidate is corrupt but is less corrupt than your candidate", then it's time for those voters to take a step back and consider the system that has presented them with such a choice. Having said that, it's important to note that nobody in either candidate's family has been formally charged with a crime much less found guilty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the way I see it: All this dirt really is is a means to distract voters from the actual question of "who should I vote for?" Now, this might sound like dirt's important in all of this as clearly you'd hope who your voting for's going to have a spotless history, but clearly this isn't going to be the case at the moment. However, I think what voters should really look at is what kind of job the current president has done and what they want moving forward. Unfortunately, the dirt at the moment is a distraction from this. Trump wants you (and everyone) to focus on the dirt as a means to NOT focus on what he's done the last few years.

The biggest grift ever delivered to Americans and even Canadians Is when their elected leaders convinced them that taxing more on people making 10x what the average citizen was making was somehow bad for them.

That's fair, but it's also fair to point out that to this point at least, the Republicans are trying to expose Joe Biden's so-called corruption, by pointing out the actions of his son... It would be like criticizing Trump for killing elephants and giraffes. I've actually read articles (from sources that I trust) stating that Trump absolutely hates the fact that Don Jr. is a trophy hunter an has been overheard yelling and swearing at him about it.

I wish I could remember where I read that. I think it might have been Bob Woodward in one of his interviews. For sure, his administration has done nothing to curtail big game hunting, quite the opposite, but if the account I read is correct, Dotard didn't like his son doing it. (although that might have been because of how it reflected on him personally, rather than out of concern for the animals) All I remember for sure, is that it was someone who I absolutely believe.

This actually was a statement repeated. The issue is not so much that he cared about the animals, but it was public backlash against trophy hunting that skirted basic laws. These were things he could not protect his kids or his brand against and he wanted them stopped 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In November we get to vote in Illinois if tax rate should be based on income and gradually increased if you make more. Opponents have been running ads where it shows an older retired woman saying that this will increase taxes on all including retirees. In reality it will affect those making over 250k per year. Last year Ken Griffin who owns Citadel has made around 1.5b in income and he paid same tax % as rest of us did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most prosperous period in the history of the US was the 30s through mid 70s when the tax rate was upwards up the upper 70% and the wealthy and corporate entities were taxed based on their incomes not as a flat rate It's unreal how gullible people are.

People will probably remember Zinke for his repeated claims of being a Geologist, even though he never actually worked as one. This, apparently, to add an air of authenticity to his denials of anthropogenic Climate Change. People might also remember that he was forced to resign because of conflict of interest and ethics violations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
