Because politicians that have been coasting through life might have had to do something while he was in office the first time so now they are watching everything he does?
Most Corrupt Administration in Modern History. Not a Question. A Fact.

You have a known vindictive man with proven disregard for law coming into power. He has openly stated he will go after your family.
What would you do?
I find myself wanting to know what Ford, Carter and HW did.

The New York Times Editorial Board is a group of opinion journalists whose institutional views are separate from the paper's newsroom. The board is overseen by Opinion Editor Kathleen Kingsbury, Deputy Opinion Editor Patrick Healy, and Publisher A.G. Sulzberger.
The roster has been transitioning as part of a restructuring plan to have fewer standalone staff writers and rely more on a rotating group of editors from across the opinion department. Longtime members and recent core contributors include:
- Mara Gay (focuses on NYC and national politics)
- Jesse Wegman (focuses on legal affairs and the Supreme Court)
- Brent Staples (focuses on education, history, and criminal justice)
- Farah Stockman (focuses on labor, foreign policy, and race)
- Serge Schmemann (focuses on international affairs)
Are they all liberals?
Politically, the board’s institutional voice is widely recognized as traditionally liberal or center-left. It hasn't endorsed a Republican candidate for president since Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956, and its positions consistently align with modern American progressive and mainstream Democratic policy goals on issues like social justice, economic regulation, environmental protections, and reproductive rights.However, labeling the board as a monolith requires some nuance:
- Institutional vs. Personal Voices: The board speaks as a collective "voice of the institution" rather than as individual pundits. While the collective output is firmly center-left, individual board members and broader opinion editors come from varied reporting backgrounds.
- The "Both-Sidesism" and Progressive Critique: Interestingly, the board frequently takes fire from the progressive left. Left-wing critics often accuse the board of being too institutionalist, overly concerned with "both-sidesism," or catering to a centrist, elite perspective rather than true progressive values.
- Distinction from Columnists: While the Editorial Board writes unsigned essays representing the newspaper's official stance, the broader NYT Opinion section explicitly hires individual columnists to offer ideological contrast. This includes center-right or conservative writers like Bret Stephens, David Brooks, and Ross Douthat, who are not on the editorial board but share the same opinion pages.
These guys are more alike than different. Both are way too old to be in office. Both care about themselves and their family more than anything else. Both are corrupt. Both probably spend/spent more time on vacation than working. Both are/were clueless to the point no one knows who is pulling or did pull the strings.
id say about the only major difference is that the current president cares way too much what others think of him and goes off about it on social media.
I used google and posted a link from the government t about Biden. Are you trying to say those aren’t facts on a government website? What facts are you believing when you say it’s not even close? Something g tells me your just believing a different website or some made up social media post.
Yet he felt the need to pardon his entire family before leaving office. Seems like a weird thing to do for a squeaky clean family.
I’d tell him good luck finding anything that’s going to be more than a speeding ticket.
Ah, I got it, what he and his family did isn’t bad because the lefties on here don’t think it was anything bad. And he only pardoned his family because everything they did is normal stuff that everyone does.
I will give Trump credit, he seems to have a preternatural ability to understand that all it took to not only get away with it, but also be celebrated by millions of people with too high of an opinion of themselves, was to be corrupt on a scale that is literally impossible for most humans to grasp.
'Death cult' seemed too strong the first term, but is almost certainly accurate today.

lol. Speaking of trying too hard.
Just forget about me and my reach arounds and go hug your kid while she still doesn’t understand what a screw up you are.
Truly stupid and uninformed. The Biden doj set up the so-called Hunter Biden prosecution in a way that he would walk away with virtually no penalties. The judge called out the doj and the doj then followed up with real action, partly after Hunter's lawyers goaded the doj. With the judge focusing public attention on this issue, the doj walked back from the sweetheart deal that it intended to sneak through.
Also, there was the case of Dr. Eithan Haim who reported a Texas hospital for failing to comply with Texas rules regarding transgender surgeries. For pointing out the violations, he was the subject of spurious doj criminal charges regarding supposed violations of HIPAA rules and the doj sought convictions that could have put the doctor in jail for 10 years. Of course, there were many vindictive prosecutions brought by the doj out of January 6th, including the trespassing Viking guy who was sentenced to several years in prison and served substantial time in solitary confinement.

I must have missed when Joe launched BidenCoin, JillCoin, & HunterCoin. Or when he sold the Biden phone & stole the deposits. Or when Joe made 3500 stock trades in a quarter using insider information. Yep, both are more alike than different. What a laughably false statement.

Trump has made more money in the last 16 months than the previous 100 years of presidents. Trump has stolen around 100 times more than Biden is worth, after 40+ years in public service. Pretty sure MTG has more net worth than Joe but MAGAs think he’s corrupt. Idiots.
It was never proven to be Hunter's blow. Or anyone. But we know Don Jr. Likes to party.
He moved up 168 spots on the forbes list..............think about that
Oh, because he made bank for he and his family in a different form, that means they are different. Got it.
Tell me what Hunter Biden did you think worthy of further prosecution? Did he keep getting on the board of companies or partial ownership, and then that company get government contracts or something?
If you can't admit Trump is the most corrupt politician in our lifetime, I don't know what to say to you. You're not coming off very well trying to both sides this one.
Not paying taxes on $2 million dollars of influence peddling money he received out of the Ukraine is certainly a felony. Felony gun charges. And, don't forget that Hunter sold his "art" to pay his debts and surprise surprise they were bought by democratic donors. Trump's slicksters simply think bigger than the Biden slicksters .They are both doing the same thing.

Does it really matter anymore? A decent enough lawyer could probably prove that the charges were politically motivated, and therefore require reparations.
Are you really that clueless. Do you think that Hunter Biden could argue that his father's doj, which is an executive department, under the control of the president would submit baseless charges against the president's son. Also, selective prosecution is legal in about 90% of the cases. So if you are guilty of a crime but we're chosen out of any number of people to be prosecuted, it is very difficult to get the charges dismissed for the crime committed on the grounds that you were selectively prosecuted. On top of that, the initial sweetheart deal was designed to not only get Hunter off the hook for the tax and gun charges, but to protect him from other potential charges that could have been brought against him in the future. Of course, Joe Biden broke his promise and got his son off the hook for everything by pardoning him.
He had paid back the taxes, and I’m not sure he got off any easier than anyone else in that situation. Agree he lied on a form for the gun. And trading on your families name is scummy but as long as there isn’t a pro quo, if you will, it isn’t really comparable to what is happening right now.
The situation you laid out is no more ridiculous than what is happening now. This isn't a zero sum game, and I'm glad to tell you that you are in the same line as the rest of us.
What did Hunter Biden give the Saudis worth 2 billion dollars?? Wait…checking notes…that was Jared Kushner. These 2 families are not remotely close to the same.
He paid the taxes after 3 or 4 years after hiding the money. You don't have a get out of jail card for intentionally not paying taxes and then catching up 3 or 4 years later after you are found out. According to the lap top, there was a quid pro quo, -- he was yelling at the Chinese telling them if they didn't pay, he would get his father on the line. You don't pay someone completely incompetent under Ukrainian law $2 million to be your lawyer without a quid pro quo. I agree it is all bad, but it is not like Trump invented some new way to scam the system -- similar things have been going on for a long time, particularly with Bill Clinton and the uranium deal.
The deal was scummy in the way it was done, but paying the victims of prosecutorial and judicial abuse arising out of J6 is a good thing.
Being gullible doesn't mean you deserve solitary confinement and years in prison for non-violent crimes. For example, Peter Navarro was a cabinet official who invoked executive privilege and was convicted of contempt for not testifying in front of congress -- same thing Obama's AG said he would do. In any event about 8 FBI Thugs showed up at his home to arrest him and perp walk him in a pure act of intimidation that had nothing to do with safety. He should be compensated for the FBI's despicable actions.
