Are we really shooting ourselves in the foot, while we should be reveling in the gop clown show

Garland Appoints Special Counsel to Investigate Handling of Biden Documents

Or is it so obviously a nothingburger that investigating it will show zero criminal intent, nor illegality??

dems are in a no-win situation.  if they declare it a nothingburger and do nothing, GOP will claim a double standard, political persecution, etc.  if the dems take it seriously and attempt to show the same rigor as with trump (i.e. the path they've chosen), the GOP will seize this as proof of biden's corruption, untrustworthiness, etc and will hammer biden for the next two years with it (RE: mccarthy has already stated that congress will "fully investigate" this matter).

reminder: the GOP playbook holds that an accusation is all that is needed.  the outcome of the investigation doesn't matter.  only the guilty are investigated, right?  RE: trump & guiliani demanding that the ukrainians announce an investigation into biden, in 2019.  they didn't care if an actual investigation took place, they just needed the one-time headline to "prove" that biden was corrupt... why else would a sovereign nation investigate him???

so cynical.

You wanted him. You got him.

most enlightened folks have pointed out that it's brave of him to publicly acknowledge his mental health struggles.

then you have folks like this:

You wanted him. You got him.

[Dejecty-hatch lııllı|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

Well I do think it’s brave
But he would not of gone public if he didn’t have to

[Starsky]

Dudes, if you are struggling with dealing with a stroke you don’t run for senate. He should have dropped out. He should resign because obviously he ain’t able to do his job.

He’s being selfish not brave. Being brave would actually have been to resign his candidacy and now would be to resign.

Strokes are serious. He didn’t have a minor stroke!

If the shoe was on the other foot and say Trump had multiple strokes and had to check in to a hospital for depression the same Pollyannas praising Fetterman would be saying Trump can’t do his job and should resign and demanding to know more. You know it to be so.

[Dejecty-hatch lııllı|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

Well the silver lining is if he does resign, doesn’t the democratic gov get to pick his replacement
