    Reporting what Trump said is not condoning it but the point is, if it's good for the goose why isn't it just as good for the gander and why does the goose think it has the right to get to decide that for the rest of us?

    Kumbaya is over.

    Get it?

    Except Harris doesn't act like a prostitute. That's your imagination talking. Your imagination is out of its league compared to what actually comes out of Trump's mouth. Harris doesn't make her sex life public (you're doing that). Trump does make his sex life public, including off-color remarks about his daughter. Your logic appears to rest on apples and oranges.

    I can deal with four years of knocking Trump for real reasons with real complaints and real differences in his stated and actual policies, and his real failures in ... well lost of stuff ... using real arguments. He's certainly earned that.

    Four years of screaming Trump Bad with simple insults. Suddenly the shoe is on the other foot and the LW can't even endure that for a month without cracking.

    It is obvious that some people just don't realize how easily their repetitive "talking points" are dismantled.

    Referring to Harris as a "prostitute" is beyond misguided.

    Anyway, who ARE these people who hijacked a thread about a Biden staffer into a repetitive snoozefest of worn-out Harris memes?:bored:

    Back on topic, I still don't see what the big deal is about the Dillon statement.

    That sort of crass political discourse has defined the Trump Presidency.

    Textbook example of "they can dish it out, but can't take it".

    She slept with Willie to get promoted. Willie even said as much. If that's not prostitution, I dunno what is. I mean, the basic definition of it is using sex to get benefits... usually money but promotions work as well. Using sex for a quid pro quo ... what else would you call it?

    I didn't pay much attention to the OP; why bother, right? Anyway, I just found out who she was referring to: the anti-democratic pro-Trump dictator Republicans who are trying to overthrow the will of the American People and set a torch to the US Constitution. Now that I know this, she was being polite. And the Trumper replies about Biden being disingenuous in calling for unity are laughably ridiculous.

    Some things are better left private, which Harris does. I don't want to know abut anyone's private life; not my co-workers, my neighbors nor the president. It's not Trump's private life I object to - though a case could be made - it's that he brags about it. I don't want to hear it.

    I don't care what's in your imagination. My mother traded child bearing and housework for free room and board. Did she act like a hooker? I know hookers. Legal ones. Trust me, they act nothing like Kamala Harris.

    What was between Harris and Brown was consensual, and AFAIK, harmed no one. If that's all you have, it's gonna be tough convincing people she acts like a prostitute when she's acting like a vice-president.

    Well I guess "owning the libs" and saying "**** your feelings" kinda does have a nice ring to it when it's your chance to "own the cons" and to tell them to "**** their feelings" for a change.

    Far more satisfying than having to instigate and negotiate policy etc.

    Gawd, the news is boring these days. All these competent informed and educated individuals being placed into positions where they'll actually be expected to perform tasks somewhat relevant to their skill sets instead of placeholders being charged to oversee agencies whose remits they detest.

    How dull. I'm missing Trump already and he's not even gone yet.

    Not!

    Yeah.

    That is some pretty thin (and weak) material, if somebody plans on spending the next 4 years repeating "Harris Bad" (on loop).

    And, to the OP Topic:
    Exactly. Well said and spot-on.:flagus:

    Indeed.

    Who would have thought four years ago we'd be calling Jeff Sessions the good AG. Trump had some honorable and competent people at first. His administration has been a reflection of the country, withering competent and honorable support from the beginning, ending up with sycophantic robots.

    Glad to know you take the immoral low ground with your kids. They should turn out to be fine Democrats.

    Biden is nominating people he is comfortable with and who Obama tells him too. I love the people he has chosen. It shows he isn't capable of being President and he is surely setting himself up for failure.

    As long as he isn't so friggin' stupid as to hire Omorosa or The Mooch as White House staff ... I mean, how in hell is anyone so moronic as to think those two
    would be good hires ...

    Oh. Never mind.

    True.

    Biden (in picking his staff) is going to have a hard time matching the Thatcherian Gravitas of an Omarosa or the Churchillian Stature of a Mooch.

    Trump really raised the bar.

    I wish Uncle Joe Godspeed.

    Not really though. Prostitution is typically consensual and harms no one, but that doesn't mean it's not prostitution. "Prostitute" perfectly describes Harris' sex-for-political-power past.

    Yep

    Gotta demean women in power

    Meanwhile Trump cheated on three wives had affairs with porn stars has over 25 allegations of sexual misconduct and has been caught on tape bragging about ***** grabbing but he is just a “good old boy” eh?

    ~ Funny thing is they were no worse than what we have been getting the last 40 years. Just much more colorful.

    ~ Trump likes attention. Often he does indeed do goofy things on purpose to screw with the media. He talks about this in his books.

    If I was a screw up and couldn't stop myself I think that'd be the excuse I'd use too
