Republicans sure hate their tactics being used against themselves

If it wasn't for the Republicans saying they won't review evidence and don't care about investigations I might actually be annoyed at this political tactic. But McConell is on record saying he won't do his constitutional duty. The double standards from conservatives just ridiculous at this point. So much anger over Biden, no word on any of the multitude of Republican's corruption and nepotism. Just Trump's kids in the WH should have sent conservatives into a frenzy of anti-corruption anger.
Hypocrisy, one of the ugliest traits. And this is all simple fact. You conservatives are hypocrites and working towards becoming traitors like Trump, McConnell, and everyone else who supports Trump's crimes.

Nepotism is serious business if a small-town postmaster hires all his family to deliver mail. The payoff is relatively significant.
Government pay gets higher toward the top, but nothing like it does in private industry. Even the US president is pretty much working for free compared to CEOs of large American companies.
All of Trump's adult kids can easily get CEO pay. For any government salary, they are pretty much working for free. That isn't nepotism. That is sacrificing for the good of the country.

I'm sure there was no nepotism involved in that $95k do-nothing job Giuliani's kid landed in the White House, either. [snopes.com]

Oh, glad that 'giuliani does it' absolves Joe Biden and his son, great fucking logic

But you were so worked up about Biden. No outrage over giuliani and trump's corrupt nepotism?
As usual you fools get your asses handed to you, yet you double ddown on projection.
You don't get to be mad at one instance and then play whataboutism when your "team" is guilty. No matter how many times we say "investigate Biden and prosecute if guilty" you keep bringing it up like a gotcha. All the propaganda seems to be rotting your brain.
Propaganda is bad, mmkay, so don't do propaganda.

You really need all those strawmen to focus your emotional tantrums at don't you? Pretty sad, impeachment must be keeping you up at night.

That last sentence ranks up there as one of the smelliest piles of bullshit I've had the pleasure to look at. "Sacrificing"?!? Are you fucking kidding me?!?
Answer now is don't give in; aim for a new tomorrow.

It's kind of funny, when dershowitz was supporting democrat position: the greatest intellect of all time, when he is now calling them out for being partisan hacks: he rapes babies, btw he's jewish. Step out of your cucked position for a moment, no the celebrity lawyer is not a presidential material lol and fake rape accusations are not ok when done for the cause, wake the fuck up

When cornered the conservative reactionary will fall on the ground much like the North American marsupial the opossum. However, instead of playing dead this defensive display is meant to elicit pity and confusion to get the apex predator to lose interest. The primary characteristics are extensive use of emotional language and infant like thrashing. If the hungry hunter presses on the reactionary will adopt a new strategy, revulsion. Much like more innocuous skunk, the reactionary will shit itself to become less palatable. Altogether a rather unpleasant species, but it often shares its habitat with the majestic liberal unicorn.

I've never even heard of Dershowitz. Is the connection supposed to be OJ (from a quick search)? Or, y'know, the whole "he's a Jew" bit?
