  What a surprise
context: Of course they do, because they know that odds are that on some occasion -- probably many, over the years -- Biden would have been visited at his home by his son, because, you know, that's what families do. But they'll spin it into supporting whatever conspiracy theories about Hunter they're pushing. >
  
  "Every December 25th HUNTER BIDEN VISITED HIS DAD! WAS JOE BIDEN BUYING DRUGS FOR HIS SON?!?!?"
  -Republicans >
  
  "And Joe gave him presents!  For free!  If he's a socialist like this at home, imagine what he's trying to do at the White House!" >
  
  The “big guy” was Santa all along. >
  
  Wholesome >
  
  Literally Trump's first point of order when he took office was to hide visitor logs >
  
  I was going to say. I remember when these were made public by default. >
  
  Fuck what republicans want. They have 0 credibility. >
  
  Pay attention Democrats because there are 74 million voters in this country who do not give a shit about your bipartisanship. You're never going to win them over by showing how fair and balanced you (think you) are with your investigations and legislation. >
  
  💯 After decades of seeing everyone constantly give the right break after break and concede ground to them under the delusion that this time they’ll finally be appeased! I’m just so fcking tired. They always get everything they want and more while everyone else only has more and more taken from them. It hasn’t done a damn thing to get them to stop complaining about their persecution complex and it hasn’t kept them from doing anything just because we keep nicely playing by the rules. 
  The voters dgaf if you’re not “winning”. Their party members dgaf and just continue to whine in bad faith before they stab you in the back. And the media dgaf how ridiculous they look trying to stretch further and further to push bOtH SiDeS. We need to wake tf up already. >
  
  Didn't Dick Cheney take the position in court that the vice president isn't bound by the Presidential Records Act making this whole thing moot because Biden was vice president at the time, and President currently? I'm being about as serious as I think this whole story is. >
  
  Republicans want records of Biden Casino and Biden Steaks. >
  
  Because every home has a visitor log. That’s how elitist Republicans are. >
  
  To be fair, if you have a federal paid security detail there is probably someone writing down who comes to visit your home. >
  
  What makes you say that? >
  
  Well, it's standard practice for a security detail to perform vetting on visitors who are unknown to them and are going to be close enough to be a threat. 
  This isn't extensive but it's probably going to mean getting a name and having someone run it through ncic.  That's 30 seconds work but it is going to generate a log of people that were visiting that were checked. >
  
  The law only applies to Democrats. >
  
  Didn't Republicans pass that back when Bush Jr was President and it just got lost?? >
  
  It doesn’t matter if there is a law.  Republicans only care about enforcing the laws against Democrats.  When a Republican breaks the law they could care less. >
  
  We're named the united states, but we're tribal as fuck and have descended into a divided nation. The fact that Trump didn't succeed because a black police officer named Eugene Goodman realized the intent of the mob and used his race to his advantage to bait them to go left instead of right, which gave time for all the senators and congressman to evacuate, paints a really grim picture about Democracy long-term. >
  
  Hypocrisy, thy name is Republican. >
  
  Arrogant reality-deniers take a break from underage trafficking to focus on manipulating the press. 
  Great work GQP!  Now what about her emails?!  I heard there was some incredible bombshells about Benghazi in those!! >
  
  Of course they did. >
  
  Well give them the logs if Trump releases all of his. Simple >
  
  The democrats on that committee should also call for Trumps. >
  
  Trump was asked by the National Archive to return the Classified documents. The National Archive knew which ones Trump had and made a specific request for their return. Trump refused. Next The National Archive and FBI went through a court to get a subpoena requiring the return of the specific classified document Trump had and Trump lied claiming he didn't have them. Lastly the FBI got a warrant and went in and got the damn classified documents themselves. The whole process took over a year. 
  Biden's lawyers notified DOJ and The National Archive of the documents. The Documents were turned over without any formal requests needing to be made. 
  Lying to authorities and refusing a court order is what led to Mar-a-logo being raised. Not Trump merely having documents. Authorities new for over a year Trump had documents. >
  
  Please don't use facts and common sense around the Trump faithful. Their heads will explode. >
  
  As a Democrat, I believe ALL public official visitor logs should be public. Both home and in the office. Yes I’m aware that would be a huge invasion of privacy but I’m ok with it. No one has to run for public office. Being a politician is a 24hr job. You’re always on the clock so I think it’s only prudent to monitor who is talking to YOUR representative. 
  Besides, aren’t telecommunication companies collecting  similar data on the entire population? Who in turn sell that information to both private and government sectors? 
  If we aren’t allowed to own our private data, why should a public official be allowed to own their privacy?
  Edit: I’m not even sure if that makes sense. It’s my day off. My wife is out. I took a gummy and watching football. If what I said is insane, just ignore. I’ll review it when I’m sober and delete if necessary. >
  
  
  Being a politician is a 24hr job.
  
  It's not always supposed to be. Many would say that's what's wrong with the House of Representatives these days - they are supposed to be like and live amongst the people, most of the time, so they can properly represent them when it is time to vote on important issues.
  It probably would be less of a job if the size of the House kept growing with the population. >
  
  Do politicians need to keep a visitor log for their home? I understand Mar-a-lago probably having one due to it being a hotel/resort, but not their personal homes. >
  
  Politicians love double standards twice as much as regular basic human standards >
  
  Sure here it is pal. 🖕🏻 >
  
  lol they aren’t even attempting to put a facade of impartiality >
  
  I feel like this whole thing has been an obvious trap, set by Biden, to trick Orcpublicans into condemning that which Trump is about to be arrested for.  Of course, it's not like bald-faced hypocrisy has ever stopped them in the past. >
  
  Biden's visitor logs are online White House visitor logs
  Trump's logs Visitor logs >
  
  Republicans being hypocrites, what a surprise >
  
  Because Trump's are in his septic tank. >
  
  Should’ve set a precedent then… >
  
  Republicans never try to help investigate one of their own. >
  
  Pound sand. >
  
  Send them over - >
  
  Of course they don’t >
  
  Well trumps would be really embarrassing ando likely show so malfeasance or something.  But Bidens will show little if anything so they’ll be able to bullshit indefinitely >
  
  Biden can tell them what Trump did "there are no visitor logs at my private residence" >
  
  At least they’re hypocritically consistent. >
  
  Both Trump & Biden should be investigated for having documents. Let’s get logs from both of them. >
  
  I mean, go for it. Just remember what’s good for the goose is good for the treasonous insurrectionist shitbag. >
  
  Can’t have it one way - that is untrustworthy >
  
  Interesting. >
  
  That's a whataboutism >
  
  Not really. It's the same issue with a different person. >
  
  Oh yeah, whatabout that other person?!  Huh?? >
  
  More precedent than anything. >
  
  Daft headline. Trump isn't president or in any formal office. >
  
  Except for the fact that Trump used his presidency to steal large of amounts of classified documents (especially ones designated as Top Secret), refused multiple requests by the NARA, DOJ and other federal agencies to return those documents and obstructed justice multiple times.  
  On the other side, Biden had those documents from when he was VP, they have been returned when found and is cooperating the NARA and other federal agencies. >
  
  I understand all that.
  But it's all irrelevant now.
  The investigations against Trump that need to be happening, are. >
  
  And the investigations against Biden that need to be happening, are. >
  
  Yeah, absolutely.
  It's the GOP. Shit-show is all they have. >
  
  Isn't this regarding the classified docs not hunter biden? >
  
  GQP are trying to tie the two together. Show Hunter - gasp! - visited his parents at a time there were classified documents sitting in a locked closet. Obviously Hunter only went to the Biden family home to steal said documents to sell to China or Ukraine. >
  
  Ah, that makes sense. Don't know why I got downvotes for asking a question. Sometimes reddit is rude. Thank you for answering my question >
  
  This is going to progressively get worse and worse for Joe and his family. Seems like an incestuous, corrupt and criminal family. So much for parading around like he's an upstanding moral character. >
  
  
  Seems like an incestuous, corrupt and criminal family. 
  
  lol no >
  
  $50 the guy you responded to had to use spell check for every word with more than 4 letters. >
  
  Don't need to spellcheck when you're pasting off a provided script. >
  
  Don't need spell check when you got ctrl+V >
  
  I would like both. They’re both Scumbags. >
  
  No they arent. One is a life long grifter, criminal, narcassist and traitor, and the other sometimes gets his words mixed up. They are not the same. >
  
  Weird I thought the other did that crime bill so he can get that privatized prison money, effectively enslaving those below the poverty line, disproportionately black people. Wonder if hunter would get 20 years and his assets confiscated for a crack rock. >
  
  Funny how dems and republicans act the same when faced with how shitty their party and representatives are >
  
  Well, I mean, who had access to the Corvette docs? And, do those docs implicate something else? >
  
  And the Dems want Trumps but not Bidens. Have you not figured out this is a game to these people. >
  
  Got a source for Democrats requesting Mar-a-Lago visitor logs? >
  
  The fact they had the DOJ raid it…. All the source you need. >
  
  So no source at all then? Also would like to see some evidence of this supposed DOJ "raid" along with the definition of the word raid >
  
  I’ll break this down for you
  1. Just to clarify, I don’t vote as either Republican or Democrat. I think they all suck. Let’s get any biases you might think I have out of the way.
  Now that weve solved that (cuz that’s where these debates go) let’s move on. 
  2. If they didn’t want all of those documents, they wouldn’t have sent the highest level of investigators in this country to Mar A Lago to search for anything. All of the sudden they found those documents? DOJ doesn’t just raid people, especially people of prominence and power, for no good reason or at the request of someone else (in this case the Dems).
  
  
  Also if you think the Republicans aren’t behind documents in Joe Biden’s house being found then it’s kinda said how blind you are. 
  
  
  Moral of the story all politicians suck. Some more than others. Good politicians are very few and far between. >
  
  Bidens the president, not trump. We’re focusing on the current administration since they are, the current administration >
  
  It’s the right thing to do. He could be trading with the Russians >
  
  And democrats want trumps home visitor logs but not bidens what’s the big surprise? >
  
  Of course they do, because they know that odds are that on some occasion -- probably many, over the years -- Biden would have been visited at his home by his son, because, you know, that's what families do. But they'll spin it into supporting whatever conspiracy theories about Hunter they're pushing. >

  "Nevermind how a bunch of us spent July 4 in Russia that was just coincidence."
  -those same Republicans >
  
  Lol yes! The hypocrisy is just becoming so goddamn maddening >
  
  you hit your head recently? >
  
  Definitely a head injury. Playing the what about game is a sure sign of impaired brain function. >
  
  Literally Trump's first point of order when he took office was to hide visitor logs >
  
  Fun fact! It wasn't until the final days of his term that Trump realized the public schedule for the POTUS, was, well, public. He was furious and demanded that the information be censored moving forward. So the White House released a significantly shortened version for the final weeks of his presidency. 
  He likely would have implemented that change upon taking office, too, if he wasn't too fucking dumb to know about it. >
  
  What’s funny is most of it was “Executive Time” which now knowing he didn’t know it was public is hilarious >
  
  Pay attention Democrats because there are 74 million voters in this country who do not give a shit about your bipartisanship. You're never going to win them over by showing how fair and balanced you (think you) are with your investigations and legislation. >

  Biden: 10 documents from over 7 years ago.
  Trump: over 100 documents from 3 years ago
  There is no reason to suspect Biden’s case is more  concerning or warrants a visitor log and trump doesn’t.
  I personally want them both to do it but by all accounts it appears trump is definitely the worse case >

  Why not both Presidents' logs? Are the Republicans focused on only trashing Democrats instead of doing something useful for American citizens? Normal. USA politicians aren't helping you, they are wasting time holding sit-down pompous pontificating hearings to bolster their own names. So, call them names. >
  
  It's no surprise at all is it? >
  
  Question for Americans: Why are Republicans like this still alive? >
  
  So cmon let’s not act like we don’t know what’s going on , they are going to charge Biden so that trump will have to be charged also … politics is poisonous >
  
  The democrats should push to have the same details from Trump.  If they won’t then Biden should release nothing. >

  Does anyone else feel like Congress isn’t doing shit for the Citizen’s they are supposed to serve. >

  Shouldn’t we be mad that both of those clowns did this?  Shouldn’t we also be mad at the entire hypocrisy of the entire situation?  This shouldn’t be something we that we need to take sides on.  Both of them did the same illegal crap, get angry at both of them. >

  How have Democrats done something for 6 years when we weren't aware of the documents from Mar-a-Lago that long?
  I'm confused by simple timelines...
