    One hand washes the other. They are different hands but they work together to sanewash each other. Biden sat on terrabytes of evidence but didn’t go after the pedos because it implicates Israel. Boths sides are bad, but in appreciaticely different ways

      Biden sitting on the pedo files is a symptom of Dems caring more about decorum than they do results. It’s part of why they keep getting obliterated by Trump.

          Lmao tell that to the current administration. It goes back to what I was just saying, Trump uses his DOJ as a tool in a way Biden never did. Not that Trump actually got the results he wanted, but that’s beside the point.

              Not sure how you got that other than arguing in bad faith. Democrats are paralyzed into inaction as Republicans fling shit at the wall until something sticks. This paralysis is why a person like Biden would sit on those files for four years, fearing he would appear partisan if he pushed for their release.

                He didn’t “sit on the files”. They were under DOJ’s purview, because there used to be three separate branches of government that checked and balanced one another. I’m not saying the DOJ under Biden didn’t absolutely drop the ball, because they did. I’m just saying that Trump’s weaponizing of the DOJ is antithetical not to “decorum”, but to democracy. Biden doing it first would have constituted executive overreach just as much as Trump doing it now.
