    Being complicit in the Iraq War is not a feather on anyone’s cap

      Considering his father being complicit with the israeli genocide, going off to kill brown people in the name of profits seems to be pretty close to the tree to me

      Dude. I thought I was in “shit liberals say” for a second. Like, neither of these are things to be proud of. Especially with Genocide Joe being your father.

    Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

    In this instance, the proper wording is:

    The turd doesn’t fall far from the asshole

    I completely get the criticism of the bidens but I find it more interesting that we all just kinda ignore the trump’s.

    The argument that the Biden side isnt really a good thing doesn’t really seem to make sense given the trump one is only bad…like stealing from charity shouldn’t have as much of an easy time as it’s being given here.

    Theyre so focused on sweeping up the association with Biden on the left that we sweep away the trump bullshit. Given the right will do that anyways

      American Imperialism is also always bad. On a larger degree too. You’re just showing your internal bias if you think that the Iraq war didn’t hurt significantly more children.

        The flaw in that argument is comparing the entire or even specific acts of the Iraq war being an outcome of the bidens vs literal harm from the trumps scamming a charity.

        Feels more like a narrative trying to be pushed

          Yes. The most pro Israel politician in history had no part in forming the path to invading Iraq. Oh, he also voted to invade Iraq. There is no “flaw” in the argument. You’re just not holding Biden accountable for his actions.

    When the dumpies do it, it’s fine. But if Biden did it? There’d be hell to pay

    IDK if this is a good comparison. IDK much about Beau, but Hunter is a giant piece of shit.

    I’m not even talking about all that laptop fantasy bullshit. I’m talking about the fact that Hunter is like the phrase “do you know who my father is” became a real boy. He had an affair with his brother’s widow. Fuck him forever.

      That’s the point. Whoever made this did a good job creating multiple levels of engagement for clicks.

    My child funneled money into my, President Bonespur’s, businesses, and I also dodged military service.
