The abject narcissism of the insular Left is startling. They apparently believe the American public is amnesiac enough to forget what leftists once did, now that they’re doing the utter opposite. And they assume we are to discount their hypocrisy and self-absorption simply because they self-identify as erudite and moral and assume their opponents are irredeemable and deplorable.
Impeachment
The Left is saturating the airwaves with outrage over the current House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry. They allege that formally investigating Joe Biden’s role in the family grifting operation is somehow a poor constitutional precedent, if not out-of-bounds entirely.
So we hear further arguments that it will be unwise to impeach a first-term president when he loses his House majority, that there is no reason to “waste” congressional time and effort when Biden will be automatically acquitted in the Democratically controlled Senate, and that the impeachment is cynically timed to synchronize with president’s reelection efforts.
All of these are the precise arguments many of us cited when Donald Trump was impeached in December 2019 (as his reelection campaign began, and immediately after being cleared of the 22-month, $40-million-special-counsel Russian-collusion hoax).
The Democrats tried to remove an elected president over a phone call without a special counsel’s report. So Trump was impeached only after the 2018 election led to a Democratic House majority, which went from eating up nearly two years of his administration in the Russian-collusion hoax straight into the impeachment farce. There was no concern about the cost to the nation of putting an elected government into a continual state of siege.
There is one difference, though, between the Trump impeachment and the Biden impeachment inquiry. Donald Trump was impeached because he accurately accused the members of the Ukrainian government of paying Hunter Biden, with his zero fossil fuel expertise...

If the left did not have double standards then they would have no standards at all.
VDH ping
Yes, that’s the perfect summation of our modern Left regarding many things.
That’s because Trump is evil and Brandon is a lovable doofus. Or some such rationalization by the leftists.
VDH summarizing how Biden’s family is minimally prosecuted contrasted with Trump’s family being persecuted (my words, not VDH’s). As always VDH is speaking truth with brilliance.
There are state level voter bribery statutes.
Joe Biden might be charged under one of them for offering $10,000 student loan reduction bribes.
“I approve of this...”
We don’t have much of a government.
It’s an organized crime gang. They say “Our Democracy” but they mean “Cosa Nostra”.
I love VDH, but that statement is, er, dumb.
The people on the Left are brainwashed zombies. Their narcissism and hypocrisy aren't startling. They're standard equipment for The Walking Dead.
These are people who think this beast is a girl...
about $5 million -> Hunter
$100 billion+ -> Ukraine
The NASDAQ won’t beat that.
It is why the government took over the student loan business. It was a democRAT recruiting (bribery) tool.
If a siting President can be sued over J6, why can’t a sitting federal judge be sued over tent-infested city business losses or invader crime?
There will be a reckoning.
Trump owns real estate.
The value of real estate tends to rise.
NYC and SF are having temporary setbacks, but those will get fixed.
Just ask the Mayor of NYC, under oath:
Are you the Mayor of the City of New York?
Yes!
Are you capable of fixing its problems?
With federal help, yes!
Are you likely to get that federal help?
Quite likely!
Should Trump sell off his NYC properties at fire sale prices?
He would be a fool to.
Sadly, it won't be while they are living. Little comfort in the knowledge that God will deal with them when the rest of the people on Earth suffer daily by the leftists' actions.
Communists are ruthless.
Leftists are ruthless.
People who would take what is yours to gain power are bad people.
Communists do not care about Commandment 9 when they bear false witness against conservatives.
“Since his wife, Eva, was “Aryan”, Klemperer avoided deportation, often narrowly, but in 1940, he and his wife were rehoused under miserable conditions in a “Jews’ House” (Judenhaus) with other “mixed couples”. Here, and especially when he ventured out, or at factories where he was forced to work, he was routinely questioned, mistreated, and humiliated by the Gestapo, Hitler Youth members and Dresden citizens. Only because of his “Aryan” German wife were the couple able to procure food enough to subsist. In the diary, the much-feared Gestapo is seen carrying out daily, humiliating, and brutal house searches, delivering beatings, hurling insults, and robbing inhabitants of coveted foodstuffs and other household items.”

National Socialists and international socialists have a nasty track record.
Socialists are takers, dishonest & nasty takers.
Democrats have no understanding of the old saying, “What goes around comes around.” Whenever they are in power they are convinced that they will be in power forever.
Even people like Hope Hicks were questioned for hours, but Hunter can’t be.
