    It's a good thing that Hunter Biden wasn't given an position in the Administration or allowed to sit in for his father at major international meetings.

    the war that's about to happen did not happen on Trump's watch.

    I loathe Trump; stop making me defend him.

    So Russian separatists and mercenaries weren't actually fighting Ukraine while being supported by Russia from 2017-2021? I'm sure that's a relief to Ukrainians.
    Then don't..
    I don't feel the need to defend Biden or any other Democrat all the time and even sharply criticized him over the withdrawal from Afghanistan. I even criticized him recently regarding saying he was getting tests out when they weren't. For that matter I complimented Trump for getting Criminal Justice reform done and for convincing reluctant Republicans to support the first COVID relief bill.

    This isn't a zero sum game. Not like Biden doesn't mean you have to defend Trump or the other way around.

    The insurrection led by Trump in his own country was a war on Democracy.

    have said this many times before: criticism of President Brandon is not an endorsement of his predecessor.

    y'all only have criticism of the latter as a defense of the former

    I know it’s just the same old hypocrisy we always get from the GOP but something needs to change here. An ethics panel or something needs to require that when someone takes the credit for something they voted against they should be required to publicly recant it and apologize.

    You want to stop fake news and hold politicians accountable? Then really do it!

    What should happen when you say, support the filibuster when you are in the minority and then oppose it when you are in the majority? What should happen if you say someone has voted against the President's agenda when they have voted for the President's agenda 100% of the time? Politicians lie. They will say whatever they think will help to get elected. The solution is to simply call them out, just like Swalwell did in this case.

    Yet you even admit you continue to defend Trump
    By your own admission you're doing exactly what you accuse others of. Even the fact that you adopt the slang of the MAGA side shows how you've sold out. Frankly you're an example of why nearly all of the Republican party including many Neo-Cons have now bowed down to Trump even though he stands against many of the issues that they did. You feel compelled to defend Trump because the "other side" is attacking him.

    I agree that Senators should be called out on their relativistic support of the filibuster. It's why I said that Sinema does have a point. That the Democrats may in the near future find themselves in the minority and will want the filibuster.
