    But you’re complaining a social media account said “nothing” and not about the US president who said “everything”.

    You’re holding that random account to a higher standard than you are Joe Biden…

        The link…

        PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I kept my word—that when I said I was going to do something, I did it.

            , yet you quoted the word “everything"

            Bruh…

            If you’re point is he only I plied “everything” and you don’t know what it means when a random word has quotations marks…

            And you’re saying I’m being pedantic?

            I’m sorry if this is legitimate confusion on your part, but I’m not explaining basic parts of the English language or what “pedantic” even means.

      Even the most naive interpretion of my comment would be that I hold both to the same standard.

      Which I don’t, Biden is just so obviously wrong on this that it feels like a waste of time to even comment on it. But if you’re going to comment on it, don’t just be so obviously wrong in the opposite direction!

        So…

        The same excuse the media gives for not criticizing trump as much as Biden?

        I’d be surprised to hear there’s logical consistency there. But I figured I’d ask.
