Raging hypocrisy if the Left

[Truth in love]

Pelosi et. al said that Trump needed to be impeached for threatening to withhold funds from the Ukraine.

They then preceded to push for Joe Biden to be president.

So is there a more clear example of raging double standards and denial of fact on the left?

What is it you object to? Do you think that the left owes the Republicans something, that they have some duty to them? Do you think that there are things that the left simply shouldn't do to the right because it would be unfair or immoral?

A double standard is perfectly appropriate, just as it is with children who can't drive or purchase alcohol, or prisoners who can vote or legally own guns. The Republicans have forfeited deference, tolerance, and forbearance. It is impossible to be unfair to them. They've perfected hypocrisy and deception, and deserve nothing better in return.

Or maybe you disagree. I'd like to hear your argument for not doing the maximal harm to the Republicans possible or why there should be any self-restraint in so doing beyond what benefits the left. Please explain why they should refrain from any behavior at all that damages the Republican party in their estimation? Because they're fellow Americans? Because if the left does what the right does, it makes them no better?

Is he violently attacking someone? Or is he a surgeon saving someones life?

The same action can have different meaning depending upon the context.

Trump wanted to withhold funds because they wouldn't look for and/or release "dirt" on Hunter Biden. IOW, it was based on the Pub's and Trump's partisan politics-- period.

The OP doesn't even make sense.

Are you OK?

Another IRONY thread where conservatives make it clear they expect liberals to be more ethical and moral than conservatives. It strikes me as if conservatives are by nature corrupt and unethical, and only liberals can be held to a high standard.

Justifying being ethically as low as the Pubs?
Oh, dear.

Yes, the complete and utter hypocrisy of the political Left within the United States of America is beyond pathetic, but I do not pity them. They choose to take their thoughts and behavior in that direction. They have the freedom to do so- one of many they take for granted here in the United States of America, one of the greatest nations that has ever existed.

It’s never enough though. No matter how good they have it they always look for reasons to complain about our country, or to identify as oppressed, or interpret something as “offensive” to their fragile underdeveloped Weltanschauung of regurgitated propaganda.

I enjoy life too much for that bs. My loyalty is to myself and my God(s), and those closest to me. And, I am loyal to my country… but I am not loyal to any one political party. Not really. Though, considering the amount of weakness and hypocrisy I see on the Left, I gladly lend my support to the Right in their ideological war.

Are you OK?

I’m fine, a little tired of the blatant hypocrisy being peddled as moral, logical etc.

No, but I think we need the same standards. Several on this site have denied this event along with many others. Ignorance does not help.

When there are different standards of behavior for different political groups we cannot have a healthy society.

Biden’s son is paid to sit on a board of a company doing a lot of unethical things. Hunter does not speak the language nor have any experience in the field.
Please tell me how Biden acted to help anyone outside of his own family.

This. They conveniently toss their moral compass into the trash when it comes to their own.

Hunter Biden is a private citizen. He might have engaged in some unethical business dealing, but the facts are not clear. What is clear is that Trump and Guiliani got in legal trouble while trying to extort Ukraine over Hunter's involvement with an energy company. So we have facts of two prominent republicans, but uncertain about a private citizen. Let's note that Trum had 4 years to fully investigate Hunter, as if that was even relevant to anything. Nothing. Why? Trump didn't get Hilary in jail either. Why not? If Hunter and Hilary are so guilty of crimes why did Trump not get any indictments or convictions? Trump got none of that done.

Could it be there was no solid evidence, and it is easiler using them as far right wing disinformation about "how bad liberals are"? Note the irony here, lying about others being so very bad.

Please tell me how Biden acted to help anyone outside of his own family.

Covid vaccinations.

Covid relief money that has helped the average citizen, even if it might be part of the reason inflation is so high.

Child tax credits that has helped reduce poverty in a significant way in the USA.

Infrastructure investment, so the economy has a better resource for success and we can compete with China going forward.

The inflation reduction act that will help many people save money on drugs.

Offering a $10,000 savings on student college debt, which has been shown to be very popular.

He's rebuilt international relationships that were damaged by the previous fellow.

He's helped Ukraine in a substantial way to help defeat the Russians in a war that has caused massive inflation globally. We can't be sure Trump would have done this.

He's been taking his public service seriously, and not lying and cheating like the previous fellow, who is likley facing mutliple indictments before the year is out.

That's just a few things. You asked.

If you think of Pelosi et al. as the left then I'm going to guess that there will be lots of clearer examples, yes.

But I've no idea what the clip is about. Can you summarise what the hypocrisy part is?

Trump's first impeachment was for allegedly threatening to withhold funds from the Ukraine (Both he and the other guy deny this), but that was the crime for the impeachment. In the clip Biden brags about threatening to without money from the Ukraine (when he was VP) to get a prosecutor fired who was investigating the firm Biden's son was working for (with no known experience in the field or knowing the language yet he's a member of the board of directors).

Um. Sounds like outright corruption when put like that.

I don't understand. What are you saying?

I'm not sure how Democrats selecting a Democrat is evidence of anything other than they chose a member of their party who wanted to run for President. Republicans do the same thing. Seems like a single standard applied by both sides according to the respective perspective.
