You'd think that every American would know about what was in Hillary Clinton's emails or Hunter Biden's laptop. These are provable things that you can view yourself but Americans dont seem to care. It seems that Americans are brain washed.
We kinda just spent four years trying to prove that 45 had help from the Russians during the 2016 presidential election, some people lost their shit over "BENGAWZEE!" during Obama's presidency, antiwar demonstrations were prevalent during Bush Jr. (curiously, everyone seemed to forget about both Iraq and Guantanamo when he left office), and Clinton couldn't get a blowjob without it being a problem.
Americans only really care about scandal when it's someone they didn't vote for in office. Liberals will insist that nobody's perfect and everyone in office is doing the best they can with the circumstances provided when it's their own, while right wingers will deny that their people are ever corrupt to begin with while getting whipped up into a frenzy about "librull communist critical race theorists."
Republicans tend to care about when their guys are involved in scandals. Problem is that most often their opponents are also involved in a scandal at the same time. Sure you dont want your side to have someone that's like that but then again the other side has someone equally as detestable.
Whatever scandals a democrat commits is most often swept under the rug. Prime example bidens dealings in burisma something the democrats somehow turned back to impeaching trump over.
If that isnt being at least equally as detestable I dont know what is.
No republican I have ever met has been concerned about scandals their own are embroiled in - the only time I ever heard anyone around here criticize Trump was when the dude was talking about using protectionism against Europe, which would have left our town with nothing should the Germans have decided to retaliate. Pretty much any criticism of republicans down here will get you a "But Obama...!"
Like, motherfuckers been out of office for 5 -6 years now?
I do agree with you that both sides do this and it is annoying. All you can do is try to not do it yourself. But when the whole Trump collusion thing with Russia came out I was actually all over it and thought he did it. Because alot of people forget in one of the Hillary v Trump debates Trump looked at the camera and said "Russia if you have the rest of Hillary's emails that she acid washed please do us all a favor and send it to me." So when it came out later they were investigating him I thought there was a real possibility that he did infact work with Russia.
But then it came out that Hillary actually paid for the dossier and the DNC refused to have their servers checked by the FBI. Then it started to look like a guy named Seth Rich may have leaked them to wikileaks but thats a long story id love to get into but you wouldnt want to read it.
That's just a commentary on the Republicans you have met. I've met far more democrats retort bUt TrUmP! Dude hasnt been in office in a year and a half.
Biden on the otherhand...
If covid didnt happen they'd have nothing to complain about trump. Dude cut taxes alot and then the IRS actually received MORE tax dollars which everyone said was impossible. Look at the economy growth charts under obama then Trump. It shot up like a rocket during Trump. There was nothing for them to complain about.
Maybe that sets me apart because I do care when its "my side" that has the scandal. I follow them all. Some turn out to be silly when you look into them and the evidence seems shoddy. But then some of them you look at and theres actually pictures and video evidence of it and no denying it.
Every time I read the title I keep thinking it says sandals rather than scandals....
Hillary Clinton Emails are an old story and the vast majority of Americans have long moved on.
If you do not know there was a full Federal Investigation, and they found that she had violated the laws; but, nothing critical or secret was mishandled. Then they slapped her on her wrist, and told her never to do that again.
I don't understand why people are even worried about that now. She was not elected President and is not going to be in the future.
The purported Hunter Biden laptop and email story has faded because its' just that: "Purported"
I just spent the last 2 days doing a deep dive into the story for another forum, and have read all the articles and updated articles that people talk about.
While the FBI has a computer and a hard dive that they got from a computer shop (The subpoena does not indicate for which possible crime was being investigated). No one in authority or who has credibility has said that it actually belonged to Hunter Biden.
There is only the claim that someone who claimed to be Hunter Biden dropped it off; and the Computer Store owner is legally blind and cannot identify if whoever dropped it off appeared to be Hunter Biden or not (Some legally blind people can see a bit - and can do work under high powered magnifiers).
Rudy Giuliani released a series of pictures of "purported" emails to the NY Post from a supposed 2nd hard drive copy; but, refused to allow The Washington Post to analyze the email data file to find out if the emails were real, and if the meta-data indicated that they likely were Hunter Biden's.
At this time it was Rudy Giuliani's job to dig up dirt and spread bad stories about Joe Biden as the Presidential Campaign was underway. That's not the most credible source.
The DOJ has said that no "Russian Disinformation" was found on the computer. But has not said that the computer belonged to Hunter Biden or that the purported emails were on it.
Even if the emails are real... they show nothing conclusive was done wrong on Hunters part. Those purported emails and $10 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks (with change back).
