    I mean just look at all the scandals Biden is embroiled in, all the indictments of people in his administration. When you find them, let me know.

        The son who is not part of his father’s administration? Not every president leans heavily into nepotism, you know.

          Dumb is dumb, no matter how smart you try to sound. Have you not been paying attention? Do you watch CNN or something? You know nothing about the the Bidens. Or Joe for that matter.

          I’m not advocating its true, I don’t know if it is or not. I am presenting the argument that some Republicans make.

            They didn’t ask for arguments, they asked for examples of indictments. Why are you presenting, as an answer to that question, examples that you’re ignorant about?

                Difficult to produce indictments when your whole administration is covering for each other, right up to the petty amount of cocaine bags being left by uNkOwN ViSiToRs.

                  It is difficult, and yet hundreds of Trump administration officials have been indicted for their obvious crimes.

                  Look, I’m a progressive, so I don’t like Biden very much. I am not surprised that someone found drugs in the West Wing, either. I would bet if you turned out the pockets in the capitol building, you’d get enough coke to kill an elephant. Politicians and political activists are competitive, unscrupulous people, and I don’t condone cocaine abuse. But on the scale of accused crimes, somebody doing drugs in the bathroom pales in comparison to any of the scandalous crimes Trump officials have been convicted of.

                    eh, that still reads very much like a propaganda take. Americans need to stop getting their news from fedoutlets and MSM. Even the progressives who were generally more independent minded and harder to sway are becoming incapable of seeing what’s actually going on.

                    Incorrect isn’t a valid interpretation. They said scandals and indictments IN THE ADMINISTRATION. Republican nonsense is neither.

            It’s actually incredibly strange to see the Biden corruption being treated like a question. People really need to get their head out of their ass. “Oh… Biden corruption? Say it isn’t so!!”

          The argument is that he used his influence to help his son’s business deals

            and yet crickets about jared who actually did get help on his business deals while actually in the white house. im still wondering why he was bailed out of that building he was underwater with. or why he got billions from the saudis after leaving the white house while still having access to trumps cache of classified information.

              Fair questions, Trump’s family was always way too involved in the administration. Not very meritocratic
