Imagine, if you will, republicans were to be held to the same standards as democrats.


Imagine if Barack Obama had lost re election, and tried to strong arm Georgia officials, on audio transcript, into giving him 11,780 votes so he could win the state.

Imagine if Joe Biden had told Ukraine to give him dirt on trump or else he will withhold military aid.

Imagine if Hillary Clinton had said publicly that John McCain was not a war hero because he was captured.

Imagine if Elena Kagan had been caught accepting lavish gifts from George Soros. Or had accepted money from a defunct real estate firm.

Imagine if Joe Biden had told antifa to "stand back and stand by" during the presidential debates.

Imagine if Barack Obama, as president, had blabbed to the Russian Foreign Minister sensitive intelligence information in the middle of the Oval Office.

Imagine if Barack Obama had granted White House Security clearance to his in laws, as well as over 30 other individuals, after the secret service had denied those individuals access.

And I won't even go into Jan 6.

And that's just off the top of my head. Feel free to add more.

Astonishing, isn't it.

I remember the footage of the NBC News staff cheering in the background when Nixon won in 1968 on live TV. My grandmother never watched their news again.

there's no reason Rachel or Chris Hayes, et al, can't bring up these points that we find blindingly obvious.

Though I'm fully aware that will fall on deaf ears, as those who need to hear it will never watch prime time MSNBC

Gary Hart comes to mind too.

One photo with Donna Rice killed his presidential hopes.

trump has his pic taken with a porn star shortly after the birth of his son and it did not cause a ripple in his presidenital hopes.

Thanks. That's what I meats by "feel free to add more".
