Your viewpoints here are spot on tiv if we lived in a vacuum. If we could snap our fingers and fix both sides it would be great. The analogy you used is a good one. But is missing ten different important pieces to the conversation. Because the parents are also being pardoned for a faulty investigation into both sons. While the kids did wrong, the parents are allowed to punish without impunity or accountability. And the media covering the punishment, will only report a story that is pertinent to their agenda. While covering up one parent having early onset dementia, and the other’s penchant for excessive force. What race are the kids? This is important today. Are they non binary? If they aren’t a certain race or sexual orientation the media could give a shit. Hell, the media could be responsible for building statues for them after the fact. Even after holding a knife to their pregnant girlfriend’s belly.1) it’s a low bar I know, but that is the most logical, cogent argument she has ever made.
2) this video did not excuse her crazy azz lies and nutso Twitter posts. The woman is a disgrace.
3) again with the “well Democrats did bad stuff so we’re allowed to do bad stuff too!” Argument. It’s like American adults are now all 9- year olds. If you were punishing your son for breaking one of the rules you have in your house, and his excuse was that your other son also broke similar rules, would you response to that be “well then I guess no one is in trouble at all“? Of course not. Both are wrong.
She is very emblematic of many conversations on this actual message board as well. People have stopped expecting their elected officials to behave an ethical way, because the elected officials know they do not have to. No one is going to call them out, it’s simply going to be “well, the other side did similar stuff“. This is a bad place for politics.
I have always respected your opinion. You have been one of my favorite posters for years. You know this. We should expect our politicians to be better. That is why I wanted a reset prior to this election. Two new candidates, but we have who we have. I actually believe it turned out as well as it could going forward. Seems like a united front for change. And god knows the country needs to try something different. Even you as a pure Trump hater have to admit his demeanor and rhetoric is different this time around. It isn’t perfect, but he didn’t wait. He got right to work, and is putting in place what the majority vote wants. Let’s see if it works. I had the same opinion when Biden did his thing. I posted on this board, well at least when his polices fall flat and f the country up, we will be rid of it once and for all. You have the same chance with Trump.
