He doesn't beat up anybody. He spews lies and innuendo while asking juvenile rhetorical questions. Indeed, I just heard a professor and researcher of political rhetoric (and PhD in Speech Communication), Dr. Jennifer Mercieca, describe Tucker Carlson's rhetoric as most similar to that used when adults talk to school age children.

That's it! But the bad sort of speech you always hated. Think of Delores Umbrage's speeches to students in that Harry Potter movie. Patronizing lies!

See, Finn, the difference is that I have a life beyond this forum. So, yeah, once in a while I might not post for a bit. I know you miss me and all, but it's not "radio silence" or whatever other strange notion you might conjure up.

As for "humiliation"....LOL!

As for equivalency: I know that your friends in the media have provided a talk track for you that bleats about how the two scenarios are not alike. All I did was post Biden's comments about the mishandling of documents. I attempted no other comparison, but it's now pretty clear that Joe's other comments about taking document security "seriously" are bullshit.

This from Chicklet who thinks Joe Biden is "an honest guy".

Your whiny obfuscations are unconvincing.

It is stated with the expectation of echo.

What's missing from the Biden documents story is that none of this would have come to light if Biden's team simply returned the documents to the Oval Office without saying anything. Instead, they responded honestly and with integrity, something truly foreign to Republicans.

Once again, for our dumbest member:

Q. What did Joe do when documents were discovered in his possession?
A. Immediately reported them and turned them over to the proper authorities (you authoritarians love authorities, right?)

Q. What did your idiotic Dear Leader do when documents were discovered in his possession?
A. Every wrong, illegal and dishonest thing he possibly could have done. Yelled, cried like a two year old, blamed everyone else, exactly like our village idiot does every time his Dear Leader acts illegally.
