he won’t. Because his escape from defending Trump (and being revealed to looked like a hypocrite… again) is an attempt to debate with me over what the founding fathers intended when they slapped the EC into the process of electing president. He’s not an honest or good faith actor. He just likes getting folks riled up. And if more people ignored him for the obvious contrarian that he is, he wouldn’t get the shot of dopamine anymore from irritating people on here.
Why? What is it exactly that you think Pence has done, in One Brow's words, "to damage the progressive agenda"? I think he was mostly inert towards the progressive agenda, but still the FBI did conduct a 5 hour search of his residence. The biggest difference is the FBI contacted Pence's lawyers first to inform Pence they were coming, but the FBI never did anything like that to the previous VP immediately after he left office or they would have found boxes of classified documents next to his corvette.
You made a point that the justice system is going after trump but isn't going after Biden for doing the same thing (even though they didn't do the same thing) which apparently shows how the justice system is biased against conservatives.
I'm going to try this again. The FBI did a 5 hour search of former VP Pence's home after he left office, but they did not do a search of former VP Biden's home when he left office. The difference between former VP Biden and former VP Pence is that one was on the political right. That is not fair treatment. It is a bias in law enforcement against the political right.
Wrong they actually searched Biden house longer than pence house
Not when former VP Biden left office, they didn't. The longer search was for President Biden and you'd contrast that with President Trump. It doesn't matter if you are talking former VP left vs right, or President left vs right, either way there is an obvious political bias in how law enforcement is acting. That you are attempting to make a dissimilar comparison to hide it lets me know you see it too. A lot of people see it, and not just those on the supposed far right.

The FBI was invited by VP Pence after discovered documents. The FBI performed a 3.5 hour search of Biden's home (while he was POTUS) after he discovered documents and invited them. Trump hid documents.

That is one way to put it. The FBI initiated their enforcement action against Pence by first getting a subpoena which went to Pence and his lawyers. The lawyers then hired a private team to conduct a pre-search while Pence's lawyers delayed the FBI under the pretext of negotiating a schedule. Their private team turned up a few possible infractions which were immediately turned over and then the FBI showed up at Pence's doorstep where they were "invited in". Nothing like any of that happened when VP Biden left office.
From the same article:
Nothing in any of what you posted opposed a single word I wrote. I especially like the "described as consensual after negotiations" bit. The law enforcement springs to life, then negotiations happen, and after the negotiations it is described as consensual. For those of you who have never been sued, this is lawyer-speak. There was a situation long ago which I am compelled to this day to describe as "we worked out our differences amicably". Smooth language, especially that which is intended for publication, does not always convey what went on.
Did you also like the part where Pence's lawyer said that Pence started the search process himself?
The FBI searched the home of former VP Pence to find classified documents that Pence was using to facilitate J6? Did that connection of classified documents, January 6, and former VP Pence make sense in your head when you typed that out? Or were you playing lefty-progressive Mad Libs?
Sure, but I also liked when I wrote "hired a private team to conduct a pre-search".
Do you have a source to back that up?
To be clear, the AP wrote a thing. You said the thing citing the AP claim. I said I agree with the thing. Now you want me to debunk the thing we both agree happened where Pence searched his house before the FBI got there with their own search team?
Ya the justice system definitely favors conservatives.Not when former VP Biden left office, they didn't. The longer search was for President Biden and you'd contrast that with President Trump. It doesn't matter if you are talking former VP left vs right, or President left vs right, either way there is an obvious political bias in how law enforcement is acting. That you are attempting to make a dissimilar comparison to hide it lets me know you see it too. A lot of people see it, and not just those on the supposed far right.
62 percent in new poll say federal charges against Trump politically motivated
Nearly two-thirds of Americans polled in a Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday said the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) case against former President Trump over the mishandling of c…
That is a really troubling statistic for our nation and that is what concerns me. As I have said many times, I wish Trump would go away. I don't want him to be our President but I'm not so against it that I'm willing to see our government embrace corruption to bring it about. As bad as Trump is, I see government corruption as the bigger threat, and politically motivated prosecution is corruption. The majority of Americans, not just MAGA or extreme right but the majority of all Americans, think we have a corrupt government and see the current actions of law enforcement against Trump as proof. That is bad.
Great example!
