  I’m conservative and I once got banned from /r/politics for a week for a comment defending FDR and his leadership abilities during his presidency as it related to polio and how strong he was during his fireside chats and how he unified people.  
  It was the strangest thing I’ve ever seen. I was flabbergasted.
context: Republicans: Well if Biden doesn't get charged then Trump shouldn't either for the same crime!
  Also Republicans: so when are we charging Biden? >
  
  Yeah but honestly it’s a problem that needs to be solved. Biden’s no exception here >
  
  What do you believe is the problem that needs to be solved? Because I don’t think the two parties agree on what that is. >
  
  The check in and out process.  How are you able to check out materials without a record of it being returned? >
  
  This is the correct answer. We shouldn’t be “finding” classified documents. We should know how many copies exist, where they are/who checks them out. We need the most intimidating librarians available. Like hundreds of the librarian cop from Seinfeld. Should there be consequences for Biden and Trump? While taking into account the level of infraction and the amount of cooperation with authorities, absolutely there should be consequences. >
  
  If Trump’s lawyers had found less than a dozen classified documents in a locked closet in a home office, and then contacted the National Archives to inform them, that would not have even made the news. 
  This wouldn’t have made the news either if it wasn’t a “get out of PR disaster free” card for the GOP. >
  
  so the closet was confirmed locked? and they totally called the Archives IMMEDIATELY after finding them?....like they didn't even stop to "consider the optics"?? >
  
  What we know for sure, is that they didn’t lie to NARA and willfully conceal their possession of the documents for a year. >
  
  Really BBC?
  
  Donald Trump faces a criminal investigation for allegedly mishandling classified files.
  
  No. 
  Obstruction charges. 
  He didn't return them when asked too. If he did, then it would've been a nothing burger. >
  
  Plus Mishandling government documents. It just happens that those documents were classified but he would have gotten in trouble for Mishandling non classified documents as well. >
  
  Meh, I don't generally concern my'self with bad bookkeeping. Just as long as the super highly classified shit isn't mishandled.
  When start losing the launch codes, then it's time to worry. >
  
  One of my favorite things about gotcha moments in politics is people on r/conservative will say things like "so how is this different democrats? I'll wait" knowing we aren't allowed to comment in their safe space lol. >
  
  implying conservative opinions are allowed in /r/politics? >
  
  I see conservative opinions here all the time. Also r/politics doesn't close threads to ONLY certain types of people. 
  And I've been banned many, many times from this sub, some warranted, some not. But I can always come back after a few days. I was permabanned from r/conservative on the first offense, whatever that was.
