Thankfully we put career criminals, well-known in their communities, who people have heard of, on trial on the time. Could you imagine if “I’m too famous as a dirtbag to be tried by a jury of my peers” was a defense?
The problem with Trump is that he’s a known quantity to anyone who has lived on Earth for the last 50 years. He’s a compulsive liar, literally about everything and a vile, disgusting person, as well.
Knowing that, I would find it impossible to “just consider the facts” and believe that maybe . . . just maybe, this is the one time he’s telling the truth.

Just because you don’t agree with him doesn’t make what he says a lie. Biden has been caught lying nonstop about his son’s business and I’ll bet that you’re just fine with it.

So you’re going to ignore Joe Biden using his position as VP to take in money illegally… Nice lack of morals.

Nice what-aboutism, Biden’s son isn’t even an elected official in any capacity. False equivalence is a red flag logical fallacy.

Not who you responded to, but while most politicians grift a bit, Trump has been shown to grift his base like there’s no tomorrow. I recall that there was fine print on one of the “donate to stop the steal” campaigns that signed people up for recurring donations when they thought they were making a one-time contribution. The mountain of evidence, and your trying to defend him, robs you of any credibility.

Nobody’s ignoring it. There’s plenty of room to investigate that too. Corruption of any source SHOULD be confronted and removed regardless of affiliation, but that wasn’t the point of the exercise. Besides, your assumption of my lack of morals from a single reply (and regarding a what-aboutism to boot) is just another logical fallacy. There’s more of them too if you’re looking for more ways to be an unreasonable contrarian online.

No one gives a shit about Hunter Biden outside the Fox News bubble, guy. As for me, having a son who does drugs with sex workers is about the last thing for which I hate Joe Biden.

It actually makes me respect Hunter a little bit. If you’re gonna be a fail-son, at least have fun with it.

I don’t understand why, when people talk about what a dirtbag Trump is, so many people respond with, “Yeah, but person X is also a dirtbag.” Like yeah, so? That’s beside the point of this conversation.

Just going to leave this list here of about 30,000 lies Trump told while in office. None of these are a matter of opinion, all verifiable untruths by public record.
I won’t deny Biden lies too, he’s a politician they all lie. But Trump was on another level.

Try again from a unbiased source. Might as well have linked CNN.
