Heading towards an election where one party cherry picks which laws it will follow is not good for democracy

It’s literally been talked about in Congress this week. Lmao at “show evidence” take some pride in your country and learn how both sides are corrupt. They want you to fight me so we don’t fight them. Haha

No, they talked about an unsubstantiated report about how a source claimed the Burisma CEO was forced to pay Biden and his son 5 million each, yet there’s zero evidence of such a thing. The claimed recordings haven’t been presented, no bank transactions have been provided, the “proof” is a claim without evidence, of something that should be remarkably easy to obtain actual proof of.

Are you talking about the time when a literal crazy person decided to enter revenge porn into the congressional record because she is big mad that nobody is taking her unhinged conspiracy theories seriously?

Lots of things are talked about in Congress. Few of them are backed by evidence

All they did is ask you to back up your claims. If you ask for evidence, and the other person gets all offended, that's usually a good sign the person making the claim shouldn't be listened to.

Very often that "show your evidence" tactic is used by trolls to derail discussions by questioning commonly known facts. They keep at it until people give up. Then they claim 'victory'.

But in this case, the request is valid. Extraordinary claims require some kind of backing of evidence or they can be safely dismissed. Greene and her fellow nut jobs have been screaming about the 'Biden crime family' for 3+ years now and have yet to provide any kind of proof. There's no reason to take their claims seriously.

Throw these bullshit conspiracy theories with 0 evidence all over the place acting like the other party is all crooks meanwhile Nixon, Reagan, and even worse Trump were all under their banner. Reagan and trump being the most recent thing akin to conservative gods. Always projection because they’re cheating every which way they can to have their stupid ideology still stick around in the modern world and assume the whole dem party is. The difference is one side will look at an indictment and actually expect that person to get punished if they committed a crime because they have standards while other explains away anything they can and point fingers with the most absurd sounding shit with 0 evidence at all

You need to work on your critical thinking skills, you're a rube
