    Let me know when Biden calls his own relative as “a piece of ass.”

    Hey mods, the topic is about Republican lawmakers’ propensity to be arrested for crimes involving underage children. Isn’t bringing up Joe Biden considered off topic?

    Or does that new rule only apply when someone brings up Trump?

    Do you have reading comprehension problems? The topic of the thread is Republican Vs Democrat child abuse.

    Typical post by coop. Off topic and 100% wrong.

    This thread has nothing to do with Biden. You’re off topic and in violation of the new rule, buddy.

    Yeah, you probably didn't even read your own link either, which contained nonsense like this;

    Democratic activist, donor, and spokesperson for Subway, Jared Fogle, was convicted of distribution and receipt of child pornography and traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor.

    Also- very cool site you linked to :

    Actually, I saw that it included people who weren’t politicians. However, it also included legitimate politicians so you can go through the list yourself. I legitimately didn’t put forth much effort but it was pretty obvious the OP and posters like yourself weren’t going to do any research either.

    To be fair, gator jo at least verified the veracity of the source you posted

    Along with my lack of research .... I also didn't post untruths from a white supremacist website.

    So at least I've got that going for me.

    You have me there. I just googled what the OP suggested and linked the first site that had a list. It certainly had non politicians but also listed them on both sides. In the future, I’ll try to actually look at the background of the website:

    Given the fragmented data, Republicans appear to have more documented cases in recent years, particularly in 2022–2025, based on reports from outlets like Reform Austin and Jezebel. - Grok

    Make sure you hide your kids around these MAGA politicians

    If someone asks why Republicans are more likely to commit crimes, then it isn't off topic to respond by answering with a counterpoint.

    If a Georgia fan asks, why does Florida have so many players arrested? It would not be off topic to point out that Georgia has plenty.

    Oh and pretty sure I gave examples of a known poster on the right who stays off topic and has been dealt with...

    ..but do go on.

    This is exactly what I've been thinking all along - it's all about intellectual honesty, an intolerance for hypocrisy. (particularly from smelly bulldogs and other such undesirables)

    Similarly, when Trump supporters post some random and anecdotal violence that they claim to oppose ...... it isn't off-topic to point out that they voted for a guy who literally incited a riot where 100s of police were beaten, and he watched it happen for appx 3.5 hours without doing anything to stop it.

    When they call undocumented immigrants illegal, it's just a counterpoint to mention that they voted for a felon.

    You have a brilliant and majestic mind, sir, and I feel like we are completely on the same page on this. Our minds have melded. We are one. :star:

    Please. You put Trump or J6 into every thread on this board that you can even remotely sneak it into.

    I get complaints on both sides of the aisle about certain posters clogging things up with spam posts about the same tired subject. And when I say both sides, I mean both sides are tired of the same posts. As in, it actually unites people, so kudos to those who accomplish that...I guess.

    I hear your words and I see your point. And I do believe you must recognize that I've legitimately tried to heed them and minimize my doing so.

    But certainly you must see my point; there's a certain level of intellectual honesty lacking from many of those I referenced. It's truly a challenge - how should we respond to those who only very selectively condemn wrongdoing and crime? By supporting Trump there's an abandoning of ethics and integrity, no?

    There's no need to belabor this, I understand the board imperatives. But I do believe I make a good point.

    It's a battle that can't be won.. sadly. Your voice will be drowned out by an entire ecosystem of carefully crafted information to paint a different reality. Jo you are fighting the good fight (imo) but you never had a chance.

    The change is only possible in systemic failure... And Democrats are not above reproach. Reproach is the weakness that empowers the current GOP until it ultimately implodes. It is sadly a waiting game and then seeing what is left.
