I have never taken any moral criticism from the right seriously. They are corrupt immoral hypocritical assholes.

That said, I will call out any democrat doing unethical shit because I don't give a shit about party or celebrities. If you are a piece of shit, I don't care about the letter next to your name.

And if you have an R next to your name, I give zero shits about any of your opinions you morally bankrupt piece of crap.

Fucking Don Bacon.

Air force general and the small handful of times I met him he was a stand up guy. Tipped well, his staff seemed to like him, the guys I work with that worked with him all seemed to like him. Genuinely no complaints about this guy before he ran for office.

Then he ran for office and like, immediately, started taking money from telecoms to kill net neutrality. And it cost shockingly little to buy his vote. He went on a tour of his district to talk about it, in the middle of the week, during work hours, exclusively in the rural areas of his district.

My friends, his district is the largest and third largest city in Nebraska, and a few outlying neighborhoods to gerrymander it. You have to really try to avoid the city when you do shit like that.

He slips a little further every year, he wasn't sucking the party dick that hard his first term, but he can't take it out of his mouth at this point.

John Edwards' career-ending scandal is seeming pretty damn quaint these days

[-] zib@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Honestly, what even is a political scandal anymore? The goal post has been moved so far, I'm not sure it's even still in the same zip code.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

It's when your party abandons you over it. Only democrats have them anymore, with the sole exception being when a republican goes against trump

Howard Dean would have been president, but he cheered weird that one time, so didn't get the nomination.

[-] itsonlygeorge@reddthat.com 3 points 6 days ago

Spoiler: it’s not

Musk actually got two of the three mothers of his children to pretend it was all good and a big misunderstanding on their part.

His ex-wife still thinks he's an asshole though.

[-] Zetta@mander.xyz 1 points 6 days ago

Is it a fact musk cheated on his wives or just hearsay? I just figured they all left after discovering who he truly is inside

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

The conspiracy of prime numbers.

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Well, at least it's one thing they are actual experts in..........

Lemmy is an echo chamber but I'll say if for those rare republicans in the back:

If a prominent democrat has skeletons like this in their closet, they deserve the same scrutiny / disrepute as any republican.

Party means nothing

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Yeah, that's why the democrats called for the immediate resignation of weiner, Adams, menenedez, and cuomo. Republicans circle wagons every time one of their own is credibly accused. Even bringing it up in the same context is disingenuous.

All you young whippersnappers should read up on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Hart

Sing that song to Alan Franken. Then sing it again to Anthony Weiner.

"bOtH sIDEs aRe BaD!"

Seriously one side is objectively worse.

[-] bradd@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

Your opinion was already addressed by "lemmy is an echo chamber".

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 21 points 1 week ago

Not what I said at all. Try again.

This is about the common republican whataboutism, and clarifying that no political party is above scrutiny.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

I read his comment as also being addressed to the Republicans in the back: a concurrence, not a rebuttal.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

So many people online take replies as contradictions when they're meant to be support. It's frustrating.

cheating, rape, and violence ARE conservative family values, as long as it's the men doing any of those things

[-] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 6 days ago

Don’t forget incest. There’s a reason the south has billboards saying “she’s your daughter, not your date”. If the problem is so bad that people are paying to run anti-incest campaigns, there’s a real issue with the people living there.

ready for some creepy AF handmaid's twilight tale zone dystopia shit?

no, i don't see that there's any such similar thing for boys

[-] bradd@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

women doing the same would be progressive.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

I can so I should, and if I did then it was right.
