Hunter Biden being protected from prosecution in violation of federal law for buying a firearm illegally from a dealer by lying on a form 4473.

Joe Biden of course attempting to expand background checks and says that people violating firearms law should be prosecuted. Ironically Joe Biden had the secret service intervene in order to protect Hunter Biden from prosecution from federal firearms laws.

Any person protected in part or in full with firearms and advocating for the legal ability to defend yourself with such arms is a hypocrite.

The Biden administration and majority leftists claiming the control over Corona virus is important. Yet the very same administration didn't finish the border wall and continually allows corona virus positive illegal aliens into the country.

Biden implementing a mask mandate in federal buildings yet Biden himself didn't wear masks on some occasions in federal buildings post him mandating so.

Biden making the general argument that anyone in control of firearms be competent. Yet Biden then goes on to appoint David Chipman a notoriously incompetent regarding firearms. Chipman was a tactical commander for WACO and also had his issued firearms stolen from him.

Don Corona stating that the CoViD is a hoax, downplaying CDC guidelines, then spending two nights face up in a hospital.

Don Corona stating that the CoViD is a hoax, downplaying CDC guidelines, then spending two nights face up in a hospital.
“It’s a hoax. There’s no pandemic. As Trump said, how many millions die of flu?”

Recorded history of the flu gives an estimate of 50 million dead totaling 100 year ago.
Recorded history of Corona virus gives an estimate of 4.23M dead since March 14 2020.

50 million is more than 4.23 million yet people are not afraid of the flu even though the flu can kill you just like Corona virus can.

I am sure Trump survived the flu just like he's survived Corona virus.

Also Biden is letting in Corona positive illegal aliens whom have no right to be here to begin with. Seems like if Corona was a significant threat even according to Biden he'd finish the wall in an attempt to Quarantine the U.S. from Southern Invasion.

“It’s a hoax.

Demonstrably wrong. The CoViD is real.

There’s no pandemic.

Demonstrably wrong. It is currently global.

As Trump said, how many millions die of flu?”

Non-sequitur.

I am sure Trump survived the flu just like he's survived Corona virus.

The fact that Don Corona caught it and spent two nights face up a hospital when first claiming it was a hoax and downplaying CDC guidelines is the ironic part.

Also Biden is letting in Corona positive illegal aliens ...

I believe that is in reference to the general attitude of Corona being this threat to mankind as portrayed by the left. Virtue signaling for corona virus measures while Trump is downplaying them. It is a consideration if you look on in the other general arguments Trump has made on the topic.
Non-sequitur.
Comparing the millions who have died from the flu compared to Corona virus in consideration of the threat of either is a non sequitur? I don't think you know the meaning of the word.
The fact that Don Corona caught it and spent two nights face up a hospital when first claiming it was a hoax and downplaying CDC guidelines is the ironic part.
Biden claims Corona is serious yet he breaks his own federal building mandate by not wearing a mask in federal buildings himself as well as letting in positive corona virus illegal aliens.

Hillary Clinton being protected by weapons she would like to ban.


Armed security detail for Bloomberg if citizens may not protect themselves with X firearms then he shouldn't benefit from the very same ownership or possession of such firearms.

Joe Biden protected with literal machine guns yet he does not want allow any automatically cycling firearm.

Joe Biden advocating for blindly firing shotguns without confirming your target and in some places doing so would be a felony not to mention no consideration of where those shots land.


Carolyn McCarthy wants to regulate or ban barrel shrouds yet she doesn't even know what a barrel shroud is but wants to ban them regardless.

Nancy Pelosi advocates for banning on firearms that the Congressional security teams use to protect them yet the citizens she would prefer not have.


Kevin Deleon can't even speak English let alone make a cogent argument on gun controls. Again protected by the very same firearms used to protect him.

Is it not killing people?

Virtue signaling for corona virus measures while Trump is downplaying them.

And ending up face up in a hospital for two nights.

Comparing the millions who have died from the flu compared to Corona virus in consideration of the threat of either is a non sequitur? I don't think you know the meaning of the word.

It is a non sequitur because both can be true and do not affect each other.

Biden claims Corona is serious yet he breaks his own federal building mandate by not wearing a mask in federal buildings himself as well as letting in positive corona virus illegal aliens.

Classic whataboutism. I wonder if Trump supporters will ever be able to defend Don Corona without it. Sleepy Joe's stupidity does not absolve Don Corona's.


Wow! You can provide proper citations when asked. One wonders why you have failed on so many other attempts.

Do you know what would work better than a worthless wall? Vaccinating people. Since the CoViD is a pandemic, pretending that illnesses stop at borders is asinine.

It is a lesser threat. Heart Disease takes far more lives and diet and exercise would go a long way to massively reduce the effects of Heart Disease yet you hardly hear of this problem in the U.S. people are far more focused on lesser problems such as Corona virus and gun control which legally speaking they can't really do anything about.
And ending up face up in a hospital for two nights.
And him laughing it off in two days.

It is a COMPARISON. They aren't meant to logically follow other than one is lesser one is far more important this is the general attitude and argument I believe Trump is making.

Political Irony/Hypocrisy​

are those things mentioned Ironic or Hypocritical? Oh they are? Ok then.
Isn't this whole thread basically a whataboutism thread? You know how silly it is you are complaining about a thread which is basically the topic of the thread?

The funds are already allocated in order to complete more sections of the wall. Biden is paying more to guard materials compared to simply finishing construction. He is making the cost effectiveness claim against him to be accurate.

There aren't enough vaccine and boosters to go around especially with an invasion taken into account of people that shouldn't even be here to begin with.

Also I remember someone making the argument that people shouldn't immigrate under a pandemic but yet when the political opposition grants them a way to more effectively quarantine against new immigration between states and in between countries they somehow suggest that it wouldn't work - odd that. Highly ironic and Hypocritical. Didn't other countries shutdown at their border in order to quarantine against Coronavirus?

Remember the U.S. president is supposed to care about the U.S. citizens not anybody else. It isn't his job to care about any other than his constituents. If the U.S. would concentrate on the U.S. and stop fapping about in other countries then we could get our own house in order.

If there is no such thing as an illegal alien then there is no such thing an illegal arm. Democrats declawed federal immigration law so the Republicans followed suit on firearms. Ironic.

Abbott said on Tuesday, "Any firearm suppressor made in Texas and that stays in Texas will not be subject to federal law or federal regulations."

Everything kills people. I think a big problem is now that politicians have identified new catagories to divide us all into. It should be pretty easy for anyone to to see that is never going away. That is political science 101.

The masks I am forced to buy and wear are all made in China. I think that is kinda ironic.

If you have 50 million deaths over 100 years you are talking about 500.000 deaths per year. One year corona is 2.82 million deaths a year, so no corona is not a flu its worse.

They both effect people in similar ways they are both respiratory illnesses. They both have deaths associated with them. They both have similar symptoms. The context of what I have said is relating to how I think Trump considers Corona virus and Flu not necessarily what I believe or consider Corona virus in terms of severity.

All fine and so on but Trump is a moron that does not know shit when it comes on science and/or medicine. For many people yes it behaves like flu like symptoms but majority have worse symptoms and have secondary effects. If i look at myself when i had covid it was the worse flu like i ever had, i was lucky. One day that i was sick my brother was scared because i was not responding as i should and called the doctor but because my saturation was inside the measurements it was not needed that i go to the hospital. After 1 week i got to eat again (soup only) after second week i ate more. The flu i’m sick for 2 weeks also but i can function on low level. Covid how ever after 3 months i was still weak now almost a year later still weak and most probably i have covid lungs and they suspect heart issues. Thats something the flu can do if you have worse case but thats rare.

Depending on lots of factors you will have issues in the long run with covid, for the USA it could not have been worse then Trump as president it cost many people their lives.

You can't really appear smart when you have no filter. Incidentally some of what he says without filter I actually agree with. I think politics needs quite a bit of talks without a filter as the constant coddling and cuddling of language is gross I think. Putting America first in general should always be a prereqreset to being president or a politician of any type.

Most Corona cases are mild meaning it appears similar to the common cold.

Under Biden he continually lets in those infected from Southern Border without completing it even though its paid for in advance and ironically makes it cost more because those materials aren't being used but merely guarded.

Under Cuomo he quarantined those with conditions that make Corona virus more effective and concentrated them in small places resulting in high amounts of deaths even when the CDC guidelines stated people such as the elderly take the brunt from Corona.

I think they are all talk when they promise they will keep Corona in line and in certain examples it tells they don't actually care as they don't practice what they preach which also infers it isn't as bad as they claim. It seems they use it as a political tool only.

There are video clips of Biden calling Trump a racist for shutting down the country over Covid yet what would Biden do if he had advanced knowledge of Covid?

I remember getting sick somewhere around the 2 week part when Covid was announced and I am not sure if it was Covid or the Flu. I stayed home for about 4 days and got over it although all I could manage was taking medication, restroom, eating and binge watching tv series symptoms were mild if Covid and average given the flu - pounding headache, sore throat, joint pain, continual tiredness etc.

As politician your country should always comes first that is the general rule. But that does not mean trying to destroy other countries with unfair legislation or presidential degrees.

By putting anything first that means to have priority over something at the other something's expense even as an assumption. However, how is Trump doing these things you claim?

Do we hardly hear about diet and exercise reducing heart disease? You really need to get out of your bubble if you think that is the case.

Beyond that, is heart disease contagious? Can someone else's actions affect me directly when it comes to heart disease? Will you ever stop comparing apples to oranges?

And ending up face up in a hospital for two nights.
And him laughing it off in two days.

Your sycophantic devotion to Don Corona is very adorable. I am sure he is proud of you.

It is a COMPARISON. They aren't meant to logically follow other than one is lesser one is far more important this is the general attitude and argument I believe Trump is making.

A comparison that is not supposed to follow logically. Only a Don Corona supporter would think that makes sense.

Whataboutism refers to the tu quoque mainly dealing with politics. So, no, this thread is not inherently about tu quoque. Most of the time, something being ironic or hypocritical has to do with one individual, not comparing them to someone else.

I came to this thread to offer up something I find hilariously ironic, and you were so triggered you had to defend your dear leader from it by going, "Oh yeah, well, Sleepy Joe is also bad."

There aren't enough vaccine and boosters to go around especially with an invasion taken into account of people that shouldn't even be here to begin with.

Wrong. We actually have so many vaccines that we are giving some away to other countries.

Also I remember someone making the argument that people shouldn't immigrate under a pandemic but yet when the political opposition grants them a way to more effectively quarantine against new immigration between states and in between countries they somehow suggest that it wouldn't work - odd that. Highly ironic and Hypocritical. Didn't other countries shutdown at their border in order to quarantine against Coronavirus?

Was that person me? No. So this is irrelevant.

As I already said, the CoViD is a pandemic so pretending that it stops at a border is asinine. It is far better to get as many people vaccinated as possible to stop its spread. By doing that, Sleepy Joe would be caring about US citizens and his constituents.

Yes diet and exercise reduces the chances of getting heart disease.
Beyond that, is heart disease contagious? Can someone else's actions affect me directly when it comes to heart disease? Will you ever stop comparing apples to oranges?
Sure think of your family feeding you garbage over the years. They are adding to your chances of getting heart disease not lessening those odds if they give you crap food.
Your sycophantic devotion to Don Corona is very adorable. I am sure he is proud of you.
Don't be mad that you can't actually levy an argument as to why am I am wrong in this regard. Trump laughed off both the flu and Corona virus. These are facts.
A comparison that is not supposed to follow logically. Only a Don Corona supporter would think that makes sense.
We make comparisons all the time in argument even you have done this.
Whataboutism refers to the tu quoque mainly dealing with politics. So, no, this thread is not inherently about tu quoque. Most of the time, something being ironic or hypocritical has to do with one individual, not comparing them to someone else.
Humans know specifics through comparison. This is how we levy judgement. You know right from wrong because of comparisons.

Paid for sitting vacant. In order to secure materials from being stolen construction companies are still being paid in order to watch or transport those materials not not complete the wall. What you think construction companies work for free?
That is 1 dose. Not multiple doses needed to vaccinate people. India has 1.366 billion people vaccine doses wouldn't even cover a fraction of the 1st dose. Waste of effort even considering 80m doses sent. That doesn't even cover all the other foreign countries needing the vaccine so the whole argument that Biden is going to end the pandemic considering the population of the Earth and the number of doses available is laughable. It is risking the disease evolving and the vaccine no longer being effective or as effective.
Was that person me? No. So this is irrelevant.
Correct notice I used the word "someone". This thread is about bringing up ironies and hypocrites. It belongs in this thread correct?

So just let in illegal aliens that commonly test positive ironically when the funds are already allocated in order to maintain a border? It is paid for and would reduce the number of illegals that are testing positive to Corona virus that shouldn't even be here to begin with. Know what happens to them in sanctuary states or other states that able to house them? They get released into public. That is alternative.

Yes diet and exercise reduces the chances of getting heart disease.

:rolleyes:

Wow. You really need to work on your reading comprehension.

Sure think of your family feeding you garbage over the years. They are adding to your chances of getting heart disease not lessening those odds if they give you crap food.

How did I know this is what you would say? Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity, I guess. The correct answer is no; heart disease is not contagious.

Don't be mad that you can't actually levy an argument as to why am I am wrong in this regard. Trump laughed off both the flu and Corona virus. These are facts.

Thus you can provide citations for that, right? However, it is still adorable how much you have to defend your dear leader from any mistake.

We make comparisons all the time in argument even you have done this.

Yes, and to do one correctly means that it would have to follow logically. You admit that this comparison does not logically follow it.

Humans know specifics through comparison. This is how we levy judgement. You know right from wrong because of comparisons.

Non-sequitur.

Where does it say that people can't also offer up other examples of such things or disagree? Oh it doesn't? Ok then. What can you actually do other than list comparisons or talk about the subject in this thread?

Oh, we can do whatever we want. You are the one trying to tone police when people start pointing out the flaws of your dear leader. However, I will stick to pointing out hypocrisy and irony, like when the Republicans campaigned for seven years to repeal Obamacare, won the Presidency, and The House and Senate with enough votes to make that promise a reality and still failed to do it.

Paid for sitting vacant. In order to secure materials from being stolen construction companies are still being paid in order to watch or transport those materials not not complete the wall. What you think construction companies work for free?

Yeah. That material should just be sold—such a waste.

That is 1 dose.

You realize that both of the two-dose vaccines are the same.

Not multiple doses needed to vaccinate people. India has 1.366 billion people vaccine doses wouldn't even cover a fraction of the 1st dose. Waste of effort even considering 80m doses sent. That doesn't even cover all the other foreign countries needing the vaccine so the whole argument that Biden is going to end the pandemic considering the population of the Earth and the number of doses available is laughable.

A journey of a thousand steps starts with just one.

It is risking the disease evolving and the vaccine no longer being effective or as effective.

The CoViD is already evolving and that is led by a lack of vaccinations, not because of it.

Correct notice I used the word "someone". This thread is about bringing up ironies and hypocrites. It belongs in this thread correct?

Seeing as how it is supposed to be political ironies and hypocrites, no. But you have already started changing the topic to defend your deal leader, so why the hell not.

So just let in illegal aliens that commonly test positive ironically when the funds are already allocated in order to maintain a border? It is paid for and would reduce the number of illegals that are testing positive to Corona virus that shouldn't even be here to begin with. Know what happens to them in sanctuary states or other states that able to house them? They get released into public. That is alternative.

As I already said, sell the material. It is not like the wall would do any good anyway. Get people vaccinated would handle the spread of the CoViD. But, again, pretending a pandemic will stop at a border is asinine in the extreme.
