You Really Want to Go THERE?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by JudyM (a host of the General Discussion forum).

To Scott Jennings (R-Vacuous Asshole):

RE your comment tonight on CNN’s Erin Burnett show about Joe Biden having voted for the Iraq War being “something he’s going to have to answer for”.

Well, Scott, here’s the truth.

Right off the top, you made the comment that Russia’s interference in our election happened on Obama’s and Biden’s watch. But neither of them were meeting with Russian operatives at the time and lying about it, were they? Your guy was.

Further, Joe Biden has never denied that that interference actually occurred – something which your “pResident” has done from day one, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Joe Biden has never stood on the world’s stage and accepted Putin’s “word for it”, over the word of our own intelligence agencies, when Putin denied any involvement in that interference.

Joe Biden has never insulted our allies, or praised murderous dictators, nor has he ever based foreign policy on a murderous despot sending him ‘beautiful letters’.

Joe Biden has never had his “university” shut down because it was scam, nor has he ever had his a “charitable foundation” shuttered by a judge who declared it “rife with corruption”.

Joe Biden never lied to the American people over 11,000 times in under three years.

Joe Biden has never sent out tweets praising himself, nor has he ever wasted his time while in office making-up childish nick-names for his perceived political opponents.

Joe Biden has never appointed incompetent cronies to positions of power, nor has he had anyone associated with him wind up in prison.

Joe Biden never lied to congress, and never encouraged anyone to defy legitimate subpoenas in order to avoid testifying under oath.

Joe Biden has never refused to produce his tax returns, nor any records of his financial dealings.

Joe Biden has never tried to take affordable healthcare away from citizens whose lives depend on, nor has he ever passed tax legislation that gives massive tax cuts to the wealthy.

Joe Biden has never been investigated for colluding with our enemies, or for obstructing justice in an attempt to avoid his crimes against our nation from being revealed.

Joe Biden has never labelled any country as a “shithole country”, nor has he identified Mexicans, Muslims, and people of colour as rapists, drug addicts, and criminals. In addition, Joe Biden has never called white supremacists “very fine people”.

I could go on, Scott – and on, and on, and on. But I think you get my drift.

If you and your Republican colleagues think you can go after Biden over the Iraq War (a war your party lied the American people into, by the way), you obviously don’t have much of a strategy to re-elect the totally inept moron you, for whatever reason, continue to support.

And here’s an undeniable fact you might want to consider before you go any further: I have used the name Joe Biden here, because that is who you directed your remarks to. But the reality is that you can substitute the name of any candidate currently running for the Democratic nomination, and it all still holds true.

But by all means, please proceed, Scott. As investigations into your “pResident” continue to expose the depth of his corruption and personal depravity, it will be very entertaining to watch you explain why Joe Biden – or any Democratic candidate – is somehow a less desirable choice for POTUS than a lying pussy-grabber who imprisons children and kisses the asses of our enemies.

And remember this: Joe Biden is not hoping to be elected in 2020 because if he isn’t, he’ll be indictable and will probably be facing prison. That’s your guy who’s in that position, not ours.

It's about the 'strategy' Republicans think they can re-elect Trump on in the GE.

Scott Jennings would not only excuse, but would argue was much less offensive than some Democrat's "crime"---like wearing a tan suit or being born in Kenya. He'd have to gain 80 IQ points and sprout some small nub of a conscience to rate "vacuous asshole" IMHO.

... we, as Democrats, hold ourselves to higher standards than any Republican is capable of doing.

In many respects, we are our own worst enemy, because we refuse to sink to the depths of those on the other side of the aisle in order to get votes.

That is our weakness - but it also our strength.
