Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Well it worked with Hillary in 2016 with "but her emails" and now they are trying that again with Biden "but his son's laptop". It just doesn't really have the same impact.
Also, in 2016, Trump still had the benefit of the doubt. I'm confident most people, especially independents, are not interested in another 2016-2020 filled with scandals, obvious lies and another White House turning door where nothing get accomplished.
That said, these countless investigations on the Bidens are actually proving me wrong. In 2019-2020, I was disappointed that Biden was the candidate because I thought since he had been in politics for 45+ years, he had to have been corrupted at some point. But Republicans are proving me wrong. The guy is squeaky clean and I find this really refreshing.
Except she did actually get caught manipulating the Democratic primary leading up to 2016, as well as collaborating to manipulate the GOP one as well.
Hell, the hacked/leaked democratic party emails listed him as their preferred GOP candidate because they thought he'd be so easy to beat.
Biden is innocent. He makes enough on his own from lobbyist bribes like the rest of DC.

For starters.
The Clinton hate started in 1993 with the Whitewater 'investigation'. Since then, it never stopped. Never.
There has been a total of 419 investigations into the two of them, Bill and Hillary. How many crimes was found exactly? A big fat zero. Nada. Nothing. Rien.
Hillary Clinton is, and by far, the most vetted polician in the history of this country. She's a woman, she has/had power, she is kind and generous so she's everything Republicans hates.
I'm tired of hearing that "maaayybbbeee the right is right, I guess we can give them the benefit of the doubt about her"
No. Fuck them. They keep pretending they are outraged at stuff that doesn't actually bother anyone. We shall not give them another single ounce of credibility. They constantly scream about obvious bullshit that can be debunked in a 5 seconds google search, they keep calling you a sheep whenever you disagree on a topic in politic and they NEVER admits when they are clearly in the wrong. I'm so sick of these failures attempting to subvert democracy.
So no, I'm not even gonna bother clicking your link. I know exactly what I'm gonna find and this is not the slam dunk you are thinking. As always.
