Those are good comparisons"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Maybe I am being misunderstood...I am not participating in any whataboutism here...I am not justifying anything or anyone. Is Trump and his grift abhorrent? Yes. Was Biden and the grift for his family equally abhorrent? Yes. Were they at the same levels? No. But I am not looking at qualifiers. Wrong is wrong. And I don't like "well this one was less wrong than the other one."Originally posted by falafel View Post
Of course, both sides are corrupt.
The problem exists when equating Epstein and his heinous crimes to Soros, who hasn't been accused (as far as I know) of anything remotely similar. Painting with such a broad brush ("both sides are corrupt, why look further") is not helpful or justified.
There is no doubt both sides have very corrupt members. Look what is happening with CA Dem. Eric Swalwell, resigning his seat and abandoning his CA gov campaign over sexual assault claims. Horrible, and I am glad he is stepping down (right thing to do). Look at Sen. Bob Menendez of NJ who was sentenced to 11 years. SO MUCH CORRUPTION with that guy.
The claim that "neither side is superior of [sic] the other" is not accurate, at least not during this particular snap shot in time. You cannot compare any democrat or democratic donor to the current corruption of Trump and his administration. Trump's net worth has nearly DOUBLED since he began his second term in 2025, from 3.9B to 7.3B. Coincidence? Fuck no. He and his kids are doing it OPENLY. And no one, repeat NO ONE has been brought to justice for anything in the Epstein files. That is absolutely ridiculous and wrong.
But George Soros gives lots of money to the democrats!
If I am wrong or missing something, please let me know. AGAIN - I recognize there is grift and corruption in every political party and likely in virtually every local office. Saying that "both sides do it" is incredibly lazy and dishonest. The matter of degree matters. Democrats have had very embarrassing and difficult corruption scandals in the past, and it will happen again. But please stop the equivocating.
Over the last 6 elections, I am 50/50 voting for Republican and Democrat.
Because I am not beholden to either party, I point out that fact that they are both terrible. There isn't any good in either of them right now outside of Fetterman.

I think criticism of the state of Israel is warranted at the present, but Kasparian's energy around this stretches far far beyond that. Fuentes is an actual Nazi. A gay Mexican Nazi, but a self-identifying, women-hating Nazi.Originally posted by YOhio View Post
I've dealt with these type of individuals. They don't care about Palestinian suffering. They wouldn't want Palestinian refugees. That group just serves as props for concern trolling.
Kasparian refuses to acknowledge that Bibi is not the entire Israeli population or that they should have a right to exist. They are all bad to her. Never mind that Israel has a wide spectrum of political opinions.

You know, after saying you hate Trump after the first term and now admitting you were wrong, again, about Trump, people are going to start realizing is all about grift Tucker:
"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Tucker is a piece of shit. And those that platform him aren't a lot better he openly did Moscow's propaganda work. His cuddly interview of Alexander Duggin is proof enough.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View PostYou know, after saying you hate Trump after the first term and now admitting you were wrong, again, about Trump, people are going to start realizing is all about grift Tucker:
He platformed holocaust deniers and white nationalists. I'm glad he isn't aligning with Trump anymore, but like Candace Owens, he isn't a good guy or someone who deserves to be treated with anything other than suspicion

Laura Loomer to Candace Owens:
MTG in response:God hates you @RealCandaceO, It’s why he gave Charlie to Erika and why you didn’t even get to say goodbye to him. God hates you. Look in the mirror and internalize how much God hates you.
We all hate you. Humanity hates you. And you are irredeemable.
This lost demonic soul, Laura Loomer needs Jesus, the sad reality is that President Trump takes her hate-filled demonic advice on late-night phone calls. And look at his actions, he is raging in war that she and others demand.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression
