Soldier B sees a 10yo girl running away from his squad after stealing some of their food and shoots her in the back. Both of these situations were essentially caused by war and despicable things in the world, but only one of them is a crime. And maybe the girl is running to the squad for help and the one running away already planted the device and is trying to get out of the blast zone. Politics is about perspective.

You are so wrong it isn't even funny. Again a million times over. If Trump did exactly the same thing Biden did, he would be fine right now. If Biden did exactly what Trump did, he would have been in hot water over his head. I don't give a s#!t about Biden, I'm just looking objectively at the situations. If Biden is so guilty of wrongdoing and this was such a huge issue, why wasn't he investigated by Nunes and the intelligence committee while Nunes was in control for 3 years? Why wasn't Biden investigated by a Trump appointed AG for 3 years? Why all of the sudden now, after Biden has announced he is running for President, are we concerned about this thing that happened before Trump was even elected? And why, if Biden is guilty, does Trump have Rudy Guiliani in Ukraine doing the investigating? If Biden is guilty of some shady s#!t, why does Trump have to pressure a Ukrainian President to announce an investigation into Biden? Not do an investigation, announce an investigation. Also, if Biden is guilty, why did I believe it was Morrison testify in a conversation with Rudy he told Rudy there was nothing to the Biden allegations and Rudy's response was 'I know'? Again I don't give a crap about Biden, but if he was guilty why the delay? Why not use regular channels of investigation? 2 Link to comment

Somewhere in an alternate reality, where the roles are reversed, yall are lynching Trunp for doing what Biden did and defending Biden for what Trump did. Meanwhile in that reality I'm still like "they are both guilty". This isn't about justice, it's about bringing down Trump regardless of the crime. I don't expect anyone to admit this^ and I'm positive I'll get chastised for it. But, some night, laying in bed, think about it. I mean really think about it. Is it because what Trump did was wrong or is it because it's Trump? Is what Biden did really okay, or is it okay because admitting that it's not could be seen as giving Trump a pass. Link to comment

Ratt Mhule Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Biden isn't even in govt at the moment. Trump is POTUS. Who gives a crap what Biden did or did not do right now. If hes the nominee then he can answer these questions. 2 1 Link to comment

Nope you are wrong. I have thought about it and looking at the actions objectively the action of holding aid with approval of everyone to accomplish an objective wanted by everyone is much different than holding aid with the approval of no one to accomplish an objective wanted by only you. That said, I don't care about Biden. If he did something wrong, GO AFTER HIM! But do so using the proper tools. The fact that Trump has had the proper tools for 3 years and has decided to skip all of those options in favor of asking a foriegn leader to do it for him tells me alot. 2 Link to comment

NM11046 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Can anyone that has listened to testimony and read all the facts really think that based on his actions on Ukraine he didn't withold aid to PR after the hurricane because his feelings were hurt? This is a pattern, not a one off and it started many, many years ago in his personal life and has continued thru his political reign. He truly (imo) doesn't know any other way to do 'business' than to hold things over peoples heads to get what he wants. "Oh, I owe you money for all the contractor work you did on my hotel? Well, I'm not going to pay it and you're a small, weak man - what are you going to do?" "Oh, were my first wife and know more about me than anyone else, including what happened that night after I got my hair transplants? Well sign this NDA.". "Hey Lindsay, lets' golf and talk about some things I've learned about you ... now get behind me or they'll become public." No wonder he keeps doing it even after he's had his hand slapped. Guys' too stupid and old to change his ways, and he's sadly teaching a whole new generation to do the same to get ahead (and has empowered the existing Boomers' in government to put their heads down and choose to benefit from his ways or say goodbye to their careers) 1 Link to comment

There are people that go to prison (not a lot, I hope) that are not actually guilty and people that get off that are guilty. Link to comment
