      This is such small potatoes corruption compared to what we’ve already seen from Trump. And it’s going to look like specks of dirt with what’s coming up.

        No matter what Trump does, for me the stain of Genocide Joe will never be whitewashed.

          Fair, but you can’t go around plugging your ears, closing your eyes and going “lalala” anytime someone brings up the insane amount of bullshit trump has already gotten away with, let alone anytime in the future when there’s new shit to add to the pile.

            Of course I can’t, and even if I could I wouldn’t.

            Isn’t the exact opposite of what you’re describing what is happening in this thread? It’s a thread about Biden and someone is using Trump to try and ignore it lol

              I think it’s to neutralize arguments that this is specifically precedent setting. It’s actually working within the margins of established precedent, which is the opposite of what everyone is saying, and it’s why Trump is relevant here.
