    I don’t think this just applies to
    republicans but I’m seeing several who claim to criticize both parties evenly and the overall political system making very disjointed, contradictory and unsupported arguments to criticize Biden.

    I agree the two party system has a lot of problems, Biden has many flaws and US policy and the rhetoric of our leaders shouldn’t just be accepted without question. Reflexive cynicism and thought is just as dangerous as blind loyalty and innate distrust of the government on the basis of specious evidence isn’t healthy skepticism.

    David French/New York Times:

    When the Right Ignores Its Sex Scandals

    But stories such as [Paul] Pressler’s complicate this narrative immensely. If both the advocates and enemies of the sexual revolution have their Harvey Weinsteins — that is, if both progressive and conservative institutions can enable abuse — then all that partisan moral clarity starts to disappear. We’re all left with the disturbing and humbling reality that whatever our ideology or theology, it doesn’t make us good people. The allegedly virtuous “us” commits the same sins as the presumptively villainous “them.”

    How does a typical conservative activist deal with this reality? By pretending it doesn’t exist. Shortly after the Pressler settlement was announced, I looked for statements or commentary or articles by the conservative stalwarts who cover left-wing misconduct with such zeal. The silence was deafening. If you mainly receive your information from right-wing sources, the odds are good that you haven’t seen this news at all.

    LOL... this guy is good at bringing her back to his questions, forcing her to claim she "doesn't remember" and it was "last cycle"...

    We had in Minnesota a Republican Congressman also take credit for an infrastructure project that he voted against.

    Supporting rapists, killing homeless, somehow stopping ALL illegal immigration, impeaching Biden and his administration, and now hating Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce... this is today's republican party.

    Really? People actually believe the Travis Kelce dating Taylor Swift is part of some concerted effort to influence the election.

    This is where our politics actually are?:rolleyes:

    When you don't have a real plan, you just pound your fists on the table and yell
