Democrats don't care if Biden is caught lying

Double standard.
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
For four years of the Trump presidency, Democrats decried President Donald Trump as a liar. He was often dubbed the "liar in chief" by Democrats and the media. However, these same protectors of truth are suddenly eerily quiet regarding President Joe Biden. The revelations of Biden's phone call with former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani in which Biden asked Ghani to lie resulted in little, if any, outrage by Democrats or the media.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi dramatically tore apart Trump's State of the Union speech because Trump "shredded the truth." Yet Pelosi has offered absolutely no commentary on Biden lying and trying to cover up one of the worst foreign policy debacles in the country's history. Pelosi's office has not answered Washington Examiner inquiries into why she hasn't commented on the call.
Pelosi is not the only Democrat to fake outrage at Trump's alleged lies, of course. Nor was she the only Democrat to not say anything about Biden's lies. Presumably, then, the outrage behind the claims of Trump lying should be categorized as nothing more than political theater. It always was such because, let's be honest, all politicians lie.
However, it would seem that urging a foreign country's president to lie about what is occurring should warrant significant scrutiny and criticism, regardless of political affiliation. And given that 13 members of the United States military were killed during what Biden wanted Ghani to lie about, it makes Biden's sins all the more concerning.
Furthermore, if Biden lied about Afghanistan and attempted to persuade a foreign official to lie, it must immediately be asked, "What else is Biden lying about?" Previously, Biden claimed he never suspected the Taliban would regain power as quickly as they did, yet memos from the United States intelligence community reveal he was at least informed it was a possibility. Is Biden lying about this, too? What other schemes is Biden working on behind the scenes to manipulate public opinion? That is the question the public needs to be asking.
As a candidate, Biden promised transparency and being the antithesis to "Trump's lies," yet not even a year into his term, Biden has been exposed on numerous occasions as a liar. However, the same critics who condemned Trump and positioned themselves as caring about the truth are ghosts when it comes to Biden. This is particularly true about many legacy media outlets. Ultimately, it shows that such people did not really care about a president's lies. They were only concerned about weaponizing them to sway public opinion to gain political power.
But no mean tweets................
Must be nice to live in such a black and white world.
Reality is actually in greyscale.
Meaning to ask you Texan, how come every time I ask Just Jim a question, only you reply? You guys have some kind of agreement going on?
Funny I don't see a question.
how come every time I ask Just Jim a question, only you reply?
It’s what he does.
Democrats would know.
Trump lying bad; Biden lying good.
You sure? Don't think I believe you.
I do want answers, which is why I don't ask you.
What kind of answer do you expect?
Since it wasn't a question, I didn't expect an answer.
Of course you didn't /s
Do you have trouble reading too???
Does that sound like I am addressing a single question?????
Then why do you keep replying???
Not complaining (kind of) just curious why you feel the overwhelming need to butt into other discussions? Especially when you have nothing to offer to that discussion.
pssstttt....he has to have the last word
Wow, you have a vivid imagination. Goodbye
It’s cute that you think the current POTUS and the last one are in the same category. How many thousands of lies has Biden told?
And where did you see that I think that? Of course they aren't the same and neither are/were they being treated the same.
This is your chosen quote for this article:

Any rational person would draw the conclusion that you are comparing the two, which is like comparing a landfill to a trash can.
Ummmm the fetch function picks the line NOT the seeder.
I prefer "a mountain to an ant turd"
Ummm, you are free to quote any part of the seed that summarizes why you think the article is worth seeding. Being lazy with your fetch is no defense for claiming have a different take on the article than the dumbass who wrote it and chose that that quote to highlight. I change fetched quotes all the time in seeds when I feel there is a more prudent aspect of the article.
I concur.
I don't, never have, and never thought about doing it.
And don't call me lazy please. No need to make it personal
After Trump the gop does not get to be offended by exaggerations or misstatements for a 100 years...
Democrats have obviously learned from their 'betters' ... who knows, maybe their 'betters' will teach them how not to whine.
This is what we call BAMBOOZLING.
This is the party of the Clintons and Joe Biden. Of course they don't care about lying.
They just pretend to care about it when it's politically useful.
Funny. You all knew how much trmp lied but never once did any of you call him out on it. How many lies did trmp tell in the same amount of time that Biden has held office? So I think you all should take your hypocrisy and shove it in the lake
The irony is so sweet it will make your teeth hurt...
Should read ...
I find it concerning that 'our' elected officials lie, cheat and possibly even steal and 'we' accept it .. hell even expect it ..! It will always be a matter of 'my guy' lies less than 'your guy' thus making 'my guy' better than 'yours' ..
US politics is all about hypocrisy!
Democrats are so confusing with their quadruple standards and a twist on top. Wasn't giving white people special treatment to dodge accountability supposedly "white privilege"? Or were those talking points tossed aside after Democrats' white guy entered the White House?
Democrats doing the whitewashing don't seem to remember who they represent. Or maybe they do?
