    Because it’s all political theater.

    Impeachment is meaningless. It’s just an accusation. If there’s no conviction, all it means is that the people who made the accusations were wrong.

    Indictments are the same. Considering the indictments are for things Joe has literally confirmed on camera he did as well (and far, far worse), it’s going to be pretty embarrassing for the Dems to watch their tribe get dragged right into court under that precedent.

    Trump is a piece of shit, Joe is even dirtier. The whole thing is an embarrassment and disgrace.

      I guarantee you, from Trump’s infidelities, to his solicitation of foreign interference, to his explicit outward racism and sexism, to his desire to kill Americans with COVID by undermining the CDC at every turn, to his weaponization of his supporters to storm the Capitol, to his constant word salad lying, to his tax fraud, to his bank fraud, Trump is astronomically more corrupt and “dirtier” than Joe Biden.

      Can you believe how quickly you get down voted for pointing out Biden is a corrupt old man

        I think it is due to him saying Biden is worse than someone who mirrors historic genocidal maniacs.

        Biden isn’t perfect but he seems to at least try to implement positive change, and is not inciting violence on those who disagree with him.

          Oh no, not just “mirrors”. Trump has openly said he admires many dictators and genocidal maniacs, including Kim Jong Un, Hitler, Mussolini (apparently his favorite), and Andrew Jackson.

              I’m pretty sure he’s said favourable stuff about those dictators in the past but don’t have the time rn. He did however use the term vermin in a speech to refer to people he doesn’t agree with which is textbook fascist. Have a nice day.

                I think he’s called them smart or strong before, but he also called al-Baghdadi smart before saying he died like a cowardly dog- so I don’t think you can really say that saying someone had respectable attributes means you like the person.

                As for insulting people with vermin, I don’t really see that as a specifically fascist thing, Trump insults a lot of different people with a lot of different words, I’m not surprised fascists used some of them.

                Have a nice day.

                Thanks you too!

          Which is also fucking wild. While it’s objectively true Biden sucks it’s also objectively true trump is worse. fuck me dude. I’m a pretty center dude, left of most of the culture stuff, and I don’t gut hate a conservative. I guess the point I’m making is my disdain for that orange fuck and the rest of the current GOP sycophant assholes is an unbiased hatred. How anyone could vote (again, I am A LOT more conservative than 90% of Lemmy, I just don’t have any hate in me. I love you if your black, trans, Jew, muzz, Jesus folk, trees, most insects and all the squirrels) for these evil gerrymandering hate mongers is beyond me but it’s clear it has nothing to do with political ideology/policy and everything to do with hate and disgusting religious belief.

        No one is saying he hasn’t done corrupt things, but the assertion was that he was MORE corrupt than Trump. Which is empirically false.
