@Leeroy_Lemon@Awk20000 I’m not gonna engage with a hypothetical that has nothing to do with the claim. I’m not arguing who’s a better debater. That’s an obvious answer, by your own admission.
@Genomes26@jared_shult Just don’t lie. Like a simple google search disproves you. Don’t just look for things that fit your own bias narrative, you lackey
UPHOLDING NORMS is like engaging in CONSENSUAL SEX. If BOTH people do it, it's good, if only ONE person does it, it's rape. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CONSENTUAL SEX WITH ONLY ONE PERSON CONSENTING, much like THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS UPHOLDING NORMS IF ONLY ONE SIDE DOES IT.
The ONLY time a MAGAt ever considers morality is when he's analyzing a Democrat's behavior.

A more serious/sober take on the Hunter Biden pardon -
"Norms" exist because, if both sides play by them, they guarantee some minimum level of decorum or behavior that allows both sides to function on a more sophisticated level, allowing for more opportunity and better outcomes for everyone involved.
e.g.: if everyone on the block agrees not to steal from each other, people can leave their houses during the day to go do more productive work, rather than sitting at home, guarding their possessions all night.
Trump pardoned some people convicted of literally the exact same crimes that Hunter was convicted of (see: Kodak Black, convicted of possession of drugs + firearms - https://t.co/NK0xYCKp5s).
Trump pardoned people close to him due to family relations, like Charles Kushner, who also were convicted of tax evasion (see: https://t.co/vCQJdJ1Vu2).
And, at his absolute worst, Trump pardoned people who lied in order to cover up his crimes, people who were literally convicted for obstructing investigations to cover for Trump, like Roger Stone (see: https://t.co/nKEQCfuecB).
Some people are saying "now Republicans are going to do whatever they want!" Excuse me? What WEREN'T they doing before???
Some people are saying "now the Democrats have no moral ground to stand on!" Excuse me? Because the president used his Pardon power? The Hunter pardon isn't even REMOTELY in the same ballpark as the three listed above.
Republicans are amoral, do not ever play into their framework of trying to argue for some "return to normalcy" or argue about "abuse of presidential power," it is a joke to them, and they don't believe in it.
@daltontruss01@JoshGreenberg27 That’s not what that’s saying at all lmao it’s saying, if the white guy gets no sanctions or action taking against him when he makes a political statement like wearing a MAGA hat during an interview, why did the black guy get shamed and excommunicated when he took a knee?
@daltontruss01@POTUS My guy, you know way more about guns than me. Absolutely, that’s just a fact. I’m just asking why there is a need for it. I get it’s your right to have your guns, but can’t you take a step back and look at the country and see what’s happening to our schools.
