For sometime but instead of a discussion I get some reply about how we are not supposed to be critical of Dems…

But YES- the GOP has given Dems 1 scandal after another on a silver platter for years now. Lying about how deadly a virus is, allowing over 1 million Americans to die, attempting a coup, Emoluments, Abuse of Power etc, etc yet Dems do not take seem to have the intestinal fortitude to stand up and fight back.

President Obama let the GOP get away with everything. A war based on lies, torture, financial collapse, outing a CIA sent and it looks like President Biden is going to do the same thing.
