I only have an issue when folks condemn democrats and praise Trump for the same things, and there's one repeated offender on that front. Oh no the audacity of Biden making things about himself, oh no Biden family members make deals in foreign countries, oh no democrats use incendiary language, oh no Biden upset a gold star family, oh no Biden used a spin and said something that wasn't true, oh no Biden rambled inconsistently... but when Trump does the exact same things, it's all great and wonderful. That is the absurdity I address and I feel it's worth addressing when someone is just blindly partisan and has zero consistency in his stances. You know, things like calling the media biased and therefore awful (which is fair enough) while praising FOX at the same time (at which point it turns into an absurdity).

It would be equally absurd if a harsh Trump critic now showed up to vehemently defend Mr. Bowman. No one did. But when similar instances occur, I quite often stated that it's weird to be fine with things from democrats that would be considered awful if Trump did them. But that sure goes both ways.

If both sides could cut loose the fringe, the country would be a lot more sane.

Toe the line, you get paid and your campaign financed. 

If 50% of the money used in campaign financing was put into funding the government, the deficit would be a non issue.

I hope they do it, I would watch it.

The left is notorious for making attacks personal. We are deplorable, we are a cult, we can't use critical thinking skills and more. 

Those are all personal attacks and end policy discussions.
