How are we supposed to convene an impartial jury for a trial involving high profile political people? [USA]

Supporters of the person would just vote non-guilty and opponents would just vote guilty. It would just result in hung juries over and over.

Just because you don't agree with him doesn't make what he says a lie. Biden has been caught lying nonstop about his son's business and I'll bet that you're just fine with it.

Nice what-aboutism, Biden's son isn't even an elected official in any capacity. False equivalence is a red flag logical fallacy.

So you're going to ignore Joe Biden using his position as VP to take in money illegally.... Nice lack of morals.

Not who you responded to, but while most politicians grift a bit, Trump has been shown to grift his base like there's no tomorrow. I recall that there was fine print on one of the "donate to stop the steal" campaigns that signed people up for recurring donations when they thought they were making a one-time contribution. The mountain of evidence, and your trying to defend him, robs you of any credibility.

Nobody's ignoring it. There's plenty of room to investigate that too. Corruption of any source SHOULD be confronted and removed regardless of affiliation, but that wasn't the point of the exercise. Besides, your assumption of my lack of morals from a single reply (and regarding a what-aboutism to boot) is just another logical fallacy. There's more of them too if you're looking for more ways to be an unreasonable contrarian online.

No one gives a shit about Hunter Biden outside the Fox News bubble, guy. As for me, having a son who does drugs with sex workers is about the last thing for which I hate Joe Biden.

It actually makes me respect Hunter a little bit. If you're gonna be a fail-son, at least have fun with it.

I don’t understand why, when people talk about what a dirtbag Trump is, so many people respond with, “Yeah, but person X is also a dirtbag.” Like yeah, so? That’s beside the point of this conversation. That person is also a dirtbag. Why don’t you start a thread to talk about that?
