It's both. I'm very disappointed by this. I had hoped Biden would maintain integrity on this.
Lol. Integrity is out. Americans just voted so.
Side note - it's funny to watch how quickly leftists are descending into maga-like craziness defending this obvious abuse of power.
"Trump did worse" is not a principle.
What 'leftist' supports Biden?! The political compass in the US is..... Special I guess? There's no 'left' on the mainstream political spectrum in the US as far as I can see. Libs are not leftists by any standard in any country outside of the US. The Dems are to the right of the right coalition in charge of my country right now.
25 comments in and I haven't seen a single person defend this blatant corruption.

And that's just a few from this post.
Thanks, but I'm not interested in reading a bunch of cherry-picked comments.
I made no claim that none of the posts the OP was whining about existed, only implied that they were exaggerating as I didn't see a single one while reading every single comment up until I reached OPs.
The term "cherry-picked" isn't applicable here since it implies I'm leaving out context or other information, but you already had context (the comments doing the opposite of defending), I simply showed you what you claimed to not see.
The term is applicable because unless you provided those comments in the order you viewed comments in this post (which was the claim of my initial comment), you specifically sought out comments with the bias you were looking for, disregarding comments that did not fit the narrative.
Yes I specifically sought out the comments you didn't see, what's so hard to understand about that?
I responded with the list of comments you claimed you didn't see, you already saw the other comments, why would I include them?
i.e. cherry picking.
Holy shit you only had to answer them, not pee on them
A blatant gaslighter.
You are either responding to the wrong person or don't know what that word means.
You're still doing it btw.
Good for you
Don't worry, we all see it
Remember to vote blue no matter who next election tho
The left in the U.S. is a joke who'll never get their shit together.
Well, we just saw lawless, violent MAGA gain total control of our federal government by lying and cheating.
So that's the standard now. Americans voted to prove so. We're just adapting to our environment.
I hope we lie, cheat, and steal to the max in the next election (if there is one), so we can gain total control using the same tactics. Because those are the tactics that work in America.
Your dictator will be so much better than their dictator eh?
What ridiculous ridiculous bs.
Nah. I just want the party that has a history of voting in favor of working class Americans and being better for our economy to do what they need to do to get elected in America. Which is lie, cheat, and steal.
I have empathy for his decision, but it was a bad one.
Yeah, I agree.
Thank you! It’s been so aggravating, it’s like they are unable to defend Biden’s awful policies without saying Trump’s name.
