"Newspaper editors are men who separate the wheat from the chaff, and then print the chaff."

--Adlai Stevenson


โ€ข If a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.

โ€ข Somehow itโ€™s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.

โ€ข Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegal Mexicans voting in our elections are good.

โ€ข It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but itโ€™s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.

โ€ข Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.

โ€ข People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.

โ€ข Inflammatory rhetoric is outrageous, but harassing people in restaurants is virtuous.

โ€ข People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for useless degrees.

โ€ข Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but youโ€™d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.

โ€ข Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate Central-American gang-banger who jumps the southern fence is welcome.

โ€ข $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for โ€œfreeโ€ health care is not.

โ€ข If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.

โ€ข People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.

โ€ข We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, and it seems like a great plan to us.

โ€ข Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.

โ€ข Criminals are catch-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.

* And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists".

I think that the "deals and tax breaks" should be taken away, but the solution to this situation is not through executive orders and more government regulation. It's through competition. So why don't Republicans/conservatives/Trump supporters create their own micro-blogging and social networking service, which they could use to both censor Democrats and exclude Democrats from, while posting politically partisan opinions and debunked conspiracy theories? Because they don't know how to do it. Collectively speaking, Republicans/conservatives/Trump supporters are not as creative as liberals when it comes to cyber-technology. However, that is not the fault of liberals, now is it?

Especially Bidens digital campaign. Their "creativity" and mastery of digital technology is truly remarkable.

Your post demonstrates a preoccupation with, and a strong resentment for, hypocrisy. Does this resentment apply to everyone, or is it merely a selective political attack measure against liberals? In the span of a week, President Donald Trump (both falsely and ignorantly) accused Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, of violating his 1st Amendment rights by censoring his tweets. (Dorsey can't actually violate Trump's 1st Amendment rights, because Twitter is a private-run company; not the United States government). However, President Donald Trump then also recently sent a cease and desist letter to CNN President Jeff Zucker, which demanded that CNN retract a recent poll. President Trump also (absurdly) demanded that CNN apologize for the contents of that poll, which showed President Trump trailing Joe Biden by a wide margin in the General Election. (If this cease and desist letter was enforceable, it would constitute a violation of Jeff Zucker's and CNN's 1st Amendment rights, because Donald Trump is the President of the United States government; not the President of a private-run company)

So, in the span of a week, Donald Trump made a profound and very public display of his own ignorance and hypocrisy, which you have made no mention of... that is presumably because such hypocrisy only truly concerns you, when it is being done by a Democrat. Your posts demonstrate too much selective outrage to be taken seriously. Yes, there is hypocrisy in the world of politics. If it bothers you from Democrats, it should bother you from Trump.
