I remember driving from Rhode Island to Bethel, N.Y., late on the Friday afternoon of Aug. 15, 1969, to meet some friends. There was going to be some kind of outdoor music event there. Of course, none of us realized what that weekend would become in the annals of music history. More than 400,000 people took over a large field and the surrounding area for three days. Nobody, even the event holders, could have imagined the innocent spontaneity that created that massive gathering.
You know what’s hilarious? Democrats screeching about "double standards" is pure comedy.
Al Franken, because of radical Liberal dogma, was canceled and resigned in disgrace over one stupid, fully-clothed photo of a fake grope—no assault, no court case—just a bad joke. Meanwhile, your Party still worships Bill Clinton, who racked up multiple credible accusers, including a rape allegation, settled a sexual harassment suit, and flew on Epstein’s plane more times than most people take Uber. Joe Biden gets caught on video sniffing and groping women and little girls for years, with zero consequences. Tara Reade accused him of actual sexual assault? Democrats and the media buried her faster than Hunter’s laptop.
Trump faces serious accusations and a civil verdict? Outrage! But Clinton, Biden, and the rest get a lifetime "believe all women… except when it’s inconvenient" pass. That’s your standard.
The same goes everywhere: Trump’s DOJ is "fascism." Obama’s spying on the Trump campaign and reporters? Biden’s weaponized DOJ labeling concerned parents "terrorists" and slow-walking Hunter’s cases? Totally normal. Trump’s border enforcement was "cruel." Biden’s deliberate open border is flooding the country with millions of illegals, record fentanyl deaths, and child trafficking. "Humane compassion" until the polls tanked.
Democrats bypassed their own voters and primary in 2024 to coronate Harris in a backroom swap after hiding Biden’s dementia for years—then lecture everyone else about "threats to democracy." The same crew that peddled the Russia hoax, two fake impeachments, Big Tech censorship, and lawfare as "saving democracy" now clutches pearls because Trump won fair and square.
You want to talk pedophile rings and "how do you sleep at night"? Look in the mirror. You side with Clinton (Epstein’s best customer), ignore the Biden family grift, and only care about scandals when they belong to the other team. Selective outrage isn’t morality—it’s tribal power politics.
You lost. The glaring double standards are why normal people don’t trust your Party. Deal with it.
As I've said before, I'm not going to continue to point out every lie you continue to tell, but suffice to say you're still repeating lies about Biden being corrupt while Trump is openly swimming in graft and corruption, Obama wasn't spying on Trump, law enforcement was wiretapping criminals and Trump was interacting with them, Biden didn't weaponize the DOJ but Trump has by filling it with sycophants whose only qualification is unquestioned loyalty to their dear leader, and your lies about Trump's clear Russian entanglement and "lawfare" continue to fall flat when compared to the facts.
I already addressed your idiotic rant about Harris.
You seem to have forgotten that Mitch McConnell and plenty of Republicans called for Al Franken's resignation too.
I know you're slow, but maybe the 100th time I tell you I'm not a Democrat it will sink into your skull. Until Trump came along I held both parties in equal contempt. Trump, however, has changed things. I couldn't have cared less whether Bush or Gore won, but I saw Trump as the threat to democracy he has very much turned out to be.
I can't speak for the Democrats, but I haven't seen any of them "worshipping" Bill Clinton. Personally, I blame him for the rise of Trump; it was Clinton that started us down the slippery slope of character not mattering in a candidate. I never voted for him because I knew, and I think anyone with an open mind did, he was lying to us the first time about Gennifer Flowers, and the second time about Paula Zahn.
Bill Clinton has admitted he flew on Epstein's plane, but there is no proof he was ever on the island. I think he and Trump are both guilty of preying on minors Epstein provided them, whether it was on the island or not. That's the difference between us though, I can admit a Democrat may have done something wrong, you can never admit Trump did. The other difference is that I'm all for punishing anyone that has broken the law regardless of which party they're with. You fully support the man who has brought selective enforcement to new lows while getting away with a litany of crimes. But you won't talk about that, you'll just stick to your dear leaders' hoax, witch hunt, and lawfare lies.
Your false equivalency between Clinton, Biden, and Trump also falls flat. There is one woman between Biden and Clinton who claims sexual assault, other than that the only claims about Biden were excessive hugging, shoulder holding, unwanted kisses on the head, or sniffing their hair.
28 women have come forward so far claiming Trump raped them, sexually assaulted them (one proven, unlike Biden or Clinton) or made unwanted advances.
False equivalencies like that are another form of double standard. They don't work on anyone that knows the facts, but you just keep throwing that stuff at the wall and hoping some sticks. It's a fine lesson you've learned from your dear leader.
Too bad the Supreme Court rolled over for him so we'll never get to hear the details of all his criminal behaviors. Not that it would matter to you, you're clearly going to support him no matter what. I hope someday we get the truth from the rest of the Epstein files Trump is so desperately conspiring with his DOJ to hide. Guess what? If it turns out he and Clinton both did the same things I'll fully support both of them being punished properly and equally. Can you say the same?
Glenn, the Democrats followed the proper process to replace their candidate when he left the race. What more appropriate candidate, after all, when the incumbent President decides to bow out of the race, than the Vice President?
How did the Republicans handle their candidate that was clearly unfit? Did they get him to bow out? No, they not only supported his candidacy while he's clearly living in a fantasy world, they continue to refuse to contradict his fantasies no matter how ludicrous.
Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee through a swift, elite-orchestrated process that was technically legal under party rules but substantively undemocratic—bypassing the very primary system Democrats had championed for decades as a bulwark against "smoke-filled rooms."
This was not a "voter-driven" selection; it was a party-insider handoff. The same Democrats who spent years insisting "democracy is on the ballot" and decrying any deviation from "norms" engineered a nominee swap without a single additional primary vote, debate, or contested convention. Voters who turned out for Biden were effectively told their ballots no longer mattered once elites decided he couldn't win. Harris inherited the mantle without ever earning it in 2024—zero primary votes, zero competitive vetting of her record as vice president (historically low approval, the "border czar" portfolio, her 2020 campaign collapse).
The speed was the feature, not a bug: it prevented an open convention that might have exposed divisions or allowed scrutiny of Harris's weaknesses. Potential rivals were deterred by loyalty pressure, fundraising realities (the war chest was hers by default), and the calendar (election 3.5 months away). Even some on the left (Black Lives Matter) called it an "anointing" by "elites and billionaire donors."
Harris's "coronation" was the logical endpoint of a system where donors, officeholders, consultants—had already spent three years propping up an obviously frail incumbent while suppressing discussion of his decline.
The mask was ripped off, the curtain pulled back and their hypocritical plotting was exposed.
As usual, you're good for a laugh MEPD. Your asinine brushoff of the fact that the Democratic Party followed their own rules by nominating Harris, followed by your typical insane portrayal of them and their motivations highlights your bias in spectacular fashion.
I always wonder what the idiots who whine about what the Democrats did think they should have done. With no time to run another primary season, they followed the rules, something Trump and MAGA don't do. Of course Harris became the candidate without earning it, there wasn't time for another primary season-DUH!
Now, juxtapose the Democrats following their own rules to select the Vice President to run when the President stepped aside with the Republican Party continuing to support a serial felon, proven sexual predator who 100% of the time lives in a fantasy world. Then bowing down to him like he's a king, allowing him to not only get away with his previous crimes and treason, but sitting silently by while he openly enriches himself and his family through graft and corruption, openly selling influence to billionaires and foreign nations alike.
Here's the thing: Harris lost, and in the manner of all candidates not named Trump, Biden and Harris accepted the election results and transferred power peacefully.
Trump is still unable to accept his crushing loss to Biden in 2020, and is still wasting precious resources and money trying to justify his infantile claims that even Republican election officials have debunked.
Not transferring power peacefully after an election, making false claims to try to cast our elections as rigged, suppressing free speech, attacking the very checks and balances democracy is based on, and constantly attacking the Constitution and the rule of law, those are the things that endanger democracy, not the Democrats having to shove their VP into the race because the incumbent president bowed out.
Again, your TDS blinds you so completely you can't see what Trump has done, is doing, and will continue to do as long as people like you support him with blind loyalty, while continuing to launch false attacks on Democrats that even if true would pale in comparison to what Trump is openly doing.
The double standard is staggering; for example, Democratic Senator Al Franken resigned after a picture that showed him jokingly acting like he would grope a sleeping female friend who was fully clothed came to light, Republicans support Trump after he was found by a court to have violated a woman digitally, with 19 (at last count) other women stating he'd followed the same basic MO with them.
That's the sickening double standard MAGA runs with, and you support them.
For the third time now I ask you how you sleep at night supporting a man who has clearly violated women and has tasked his DOJ (and unlike any other president, it is HIS DOJ, stocked with sycophants) to cover up his involvement in a pedophile ring?
