Why did the media keep tabs on Trump's golfing, but not on Biden's vacationing?

    I note that you have not challenged my claim that the media have a double standard here.

    It can but it isn’t in this case because of what Trump claimed he would do but didn’t do.

    My goodness. You still have not figured out the obvious: conservative media is where the photos have been published.

    Oh... I see. And you believe that conservative media is not real news media. They ARE media. Unless you mean MAGA-media like Fox or Breitbart. In which case I agree with you that they're not real news media.

    It's not a double standard because Trump said he wouldn't golf. How is the media covering whether or not he keeps his promise a double standard?

    The question was: In which ways do you think it was "going down the shaft" with Trump?

    Thank you for providing this context and points of difference between Trump and Biden being away from work.

    Well actually, as it turns out, he essentially said that he won't golf at all! I did not know that before starting this thread. I wasn't into US politics during the 2016 campaign.

    Frankly Idon’tGiveAshit.

    But, you haven’t linked any proof of your “claim”; so it would be just as valid for me to point out that it depends.

    I see left biased, right biased and, down the middle news outlets.

    So IF I were to “challenge” your “claim”; I’d call BULLSHIT on that one.

    Simple internet search could have informed you of such. Hopefully a lesson learned for you.

    It was great with Trump as president. The trouble is he went off the rails with the 2020 election result. There was no way he could have reversed the result, and he should backed off. He should have started planning to be re-elected in January 2021 instead of holding the totally counterproductive January 6 rally.

    His constant name calling of other Republicans is ridiculous. He needs to tout the great things he did when he was president not name call other Republicans. He needs to grow up. He’s too old to grow up; he’s flawed. His reputation is crap because of the way he has acted. He needs to withdraw for the good of the country. In the words of my generation, Trump needs to stop ego tripping. His time has passed.

    Liberal media wanted to see if Trump would keep his promise to not golf.

    Not sure why conservative news outlets cover Biden's vacations but not Trump golf outings though.

    The proof is that there are no media articles criticising Biden's vacationing to link to!

    That's as close to the truth as you've come in a while. I don't think you will find any Dem on this board, or anywhere else, who does not recognize the ethical issues involved in Hunter playing off his last name. He did many things while in the throes of addiction worth condemnation. But as far as the available information goes that's the end of it.

    One of the things getting missed about Weiss's investigation with all the waving of arms by Repubs regarding the plea deal is.......wait for it.....no evidence of Joe's involvement in Hunter's financial payments from abroad. And no crimes committed by Hunter other than those pertaining to tax evasion and gun possession.

    So let's be honest about what's happening here. Repubs see Hunter as a way to hurt Joe politically. Consequently, they have concocted a series of allegations against Joe you nor anyone else has supported with facts. If innuendo were proof of guilt Joe would be in very deep trouble, but it isn't. To date, you have nothing.

    That’s because when Presidents travel they normally go on the “down low” as possible. Showboat TRAITOR tRump wanted all the publicity he could get, especially all the free advertising his resorts received.

    Because they are shills, it's pretty simple.

    I'm not asking for help. I'm simply asking what you suggest that my search terms COULD have been.

    Because they helped rig the election for Biden and they are in the tank for him.

    Is that supposed to be an understandable sentence?
