This was in the NY Times this morning. By Thomas Edsall:
“In 2012 the Obama campaign turned a nice guy, Mitt Romney, into a piece of crap,” Steve Murphy, a co-founder of the Democratic media firm MVAR Media, told me. “*You can’t do that to Trump because everybody already knows he’s a piece of crap*.”
Not only do voters know that Trump is corrupt, a liar, narcissistic and venal, his supporters have repeatedly found ways to slide by his liabilities.
“Do you think someone who has been convicted of a felony should be allowed to become president?”
In April, before the verdict, Republicans were decisively opposed to a felon becoming president, 17 percent in favor, 58 percent opposed (the remaining 25 percent not sure).
In June, after the conviction, Republicans somersaulted: 58 percent said a felon should be allowed to become president, 23 percent were opposed, and 19 percent were unsure.
This is another example of cult behavior on the part of Republicans, making any excuse they can for their Dear Leader. We have to defeat this cancer in our country in November.
I get it now. Hunter Biden lied while undergoing the throes of addiction, and that’s why I shouldn’t vote for his father. Thanks, Mr. Varvel, and thanks to the people distributing your talking points.
An objective observer may see this cartoon as futile and showcasing the fact that they have no proof of anything they are accusing the president of. They are not putting on this show for objective observers, they are entertaining the MAGAts, and keeping them engaged.
If you read the MAGAt comments, they are totally convinced that President Biden is a mentally incompetent old man with a poor memory who is managing an international crime organization so effectively that no one is able to come up with any proof that the organization actually exists. When you are dealing with that kind of reasoning, you have to provide some entertainment to make sure they don’t have time to actually think.
MAGA-GOP hates facts. Low IQ GOP house has been hurling lies about the Biden family for three years, has nothing except Hunter being convicted for something no one else has ever been convicted of before, absent other circumstances. Repeat after me: Selective Prosecution. The issue now will be SCOTUS: A ruling about whether or not the form involved is constitutional is about to come down; will the SCOTUS Six hurriedly change the decision from unconstitutional to constitutional to keep this conviction in place?

Instead of ranting about injustice, Biden SR. gave a speech about gun safety. Varvel probably hates that!!

President Biden respects the law.
Trump has been convicted of 34 felonies and has threatened the legal process.
President Biden said he will not pardon his son.
Trump hands out pardons as bribes and for payoffs.
That is why Democrats are morally superior to this crop of Republicans and INFINITELY superior to any maga.

But, you be you.

Republicans keep trying to prove President Biden is corrupt (and failing utterly), all while ignoring the evidence of trump’s actual corruption.

Joe Biden wasn’t upstaged. It is another personal family tragedy that Joe has to deal with. His strength is heroic.
braindead Premium Member 17 days ago
Since all MAGAt ‘investigations’ of Biden have failed, MAGAts are going after his son in an attempt to deflect from Their Messiah’s criminal behavior.
This is what Varvel refers to as ‘upstaging’.

I see Varvel is off on a tangent that makes no sense, as usual.
