Shows exactly how open minded you aren’t. You probably didn’t even see the tape of Biden bragging about doing what Trump was accused of .
Prog shit.And yet, Trump's illegal activity is well documented and you and the other Trumpkins prefer to ignore them.

Poor Cockwomble Cliffy! He demonstrates yet again that he does not own a dictionary and has no idea what the true meaning
of some words are!
So - Trump has given people like Cockwomble Cliffy NEW HOPE!
The level of intellectual debate among LIE-berals has fallen to SUCH A LOW EBB that Cockwomble is now convinced
that he ACTUALLY has something to contribute to a political discussion!
Even though Cockwomble could not SPELL a word like politics!
And you care , why ? It is not your tax dollar , nor mine . Now our illustrious leader is spreading your tax dollar around Willy nilly and you concern yourself with that bad orange man down south . Right Trudeau is sending you free money to stay home from work . You do have to pay tax on that money , it won’t be completely free .
Great News! Govenor Kemp of Georgia is opening beeches, gyms, resturants, movie theatres, bowling alleys, and hair & nail salons! South Carolina is opening up retail stores! Tennessee SOON! Now the 700,000 Americans who have MILD Covid 19 symptoms have a place to go for vacation!

“Trump came to power as the repudiation of the Republican establishment. But the conservative political class and the new leader soon reached an understanding. Whatever their differences on issues like trade and immigration, they shared a basic goal: to strip-mine public assets for the benefit of private interests. Republican politicians and donors who wanted government to do as little as possible for the common good could live happily with a regime that barely knew how to govern at all, and they made themselves Trump’s footmen.
Like a wanton boy throwing matches in a parched field, Trump began to immolate what was left of national civic life. He never even pretended to be president of the whole country, but pitted us against one another along lines of race, sex, religion, citizenship, education, region, and—every day of his presidency—political party. His main tool of governance was to lie. A third of the country locked itself in a hall of mirrors that it believed to be reality; a third drove itself mad with the effort to hold on to the idea of knowable truth; and a third gave up even trying.
Trump acquired a federal government crippled by years of right-wing ideological assault, politicization by both parties, and steady defunding. He set about finishing off the job and destroying the professional civil service. He drove out some of the most talented and experienced career officials, left essential positions unfilled, and installed loyalists as commissars over the cowed survivors, with one purpose: to serve his own interests. His major legislative accomplishment, one of the largest tax cuts in history, sent hundreds of billions of dollars to corporations and the rich. The beneficiaries flocked to patronize his resorts and line his reelection pockets. If lying was his means for using power, corruption was his end.”
This was the American landscape that lay open to the virus: in prosperous cities, a class of globally connected desk workers dependent on a class of precarious and invisible service workers; in the countryside, decaying communities in revolt against the modern world; on social media, mutual hatred and endless vituperation among different camps; in the economy, even with full employment, a large and growing gap between triumphant capital and beleaguered labor; in Washington, an empty government led by a con man and his intellectually bankrupt party; around the country, a mood of cynical exhaustion, with no vision of a shared identity or future.
