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

      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?

              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.

                  I don’t think that progressives are unaware of the corruption, but I think neoliberals and MAGAts want to pretend that bOtH sIdEs SaMe to blur the choice, or discourage voting entirely. The character issues between Biden and Trump are not a tie. That’s not a defense of Biden, that’s a criticism of Trump.

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

                  Biden is a part of his own administration. The accusation is that he colluded with is son in corruption.

                    Ah so the mask is off and now you’re openly advocating for republican nonsense. You have lost this point. Take the L, son.
