However, I think criticism of things that Democrats do is fine too, not as a defense of what Republicans are doing, but as a statement of things they do that posters don't like. I've reread my original post a few times and don't see it as a defense of what Republicans are doing, in fact my post was a criticism of what the GOP is doing, I simply started the post agreeing to something Oblong said (pardons have gotten out of control in the last 30 years or so). In fact the 2nd paragraph starting out saying that Trump was taking it to a new level. I don't see how that is drawing an equivalence between them. All that said, my dem complaints I used in follow up are all legitimate. Small potatoes compared to Trump, but legitimate none the less. Quote

I was talking in general. I don't like whataboutisms because there is no way you can compare what Trump does to other past presidents. However, Democrats can be critcized separately from whataboutisms. Quote

CMRivdogs Posted May 30 Posted May 30 So now TACO is going after the Federalist Society, the same group that provided judges for TACO in the past... Quote The president, in a post on his social media platform, slammed Leonard Leo, the former chair of the Federalist Society, calling him a “sleazebag” who “probably hates America.” https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/29/trump-goes-after-leonard-leo-and-the-federalist-society-in-fury-over-court-ruling-00375813 But Biden was senile Quote

So bye bye, Leo. 1 Quote

Truthfully I know most of you don't think that, since TheCouga isn't here anymore, probably all. But often, my guess is because of the fact that some of you had well over 10 years of me being one of the conservatives on this forum, criticizing a democrat has been met with "...but Trump!" As pointed out in this thread, I criticized the GOP and still got a "...but Trump!" Quote

mtutiger Posted May 30 Posted May 30 8 minutes ago, ewsieg said: As pointed out in this thread, I criticized the GOP and still got a "...but Trump!" One of your responses to me was that pardons were out of control "on both sides". Which implies an equivalence. So yeah, you're getting a "but Trump" because, by your own admission later on in the thread, there really isn't an equivalence (ie. a "both sides") to discuss here. Quote

This should work out about as well as Liberia did. Quote

I'm still speechless from this one.... just an incredibly stupid thing to say. And while it's Iowa, it's a more competitive state when Trump's name ain't on the ballot. Quote

Probably because Trump is such a factor of multiples worse than the Democrats that just about anything you can come up with pales by comparison. Quote

That type of "Christian" likely believes Joe Biden is a demon. New Research Suggests That Belief in Demons May Help Explain Christian Support of Trump Republicans Call Biden Divisive While Equating Him To Satan and Hitler Quote
