Yup.
A profound difference between the left & right at this juncture: The right wants the left to speak more because it exposes them. The left wants the right to be deplatformed and silenced because they’re afraid of people being exposed to it. Do the math.

@julie_kelly2 As @barnes_law argues, it should not be up to the prosecution to decide what evidence is exculpatory. In addition to the conflict of interest, the prosecution doesn't know what strategy the defense will employ; and accordingly is in no position–even if acting honorably–to know.

@amuse Either they threatened to invoke the 25th Amendment Unconstitutionally, or Biden is unable to carry out his duties and they should invoke it regardless. There is no justification for using the amendment as a tool of blackmail.
