You seem to think there’s some sort of equivalency between actual crime, corruption, and behavior by the sitting President as regards law breaking and violating the Constitution and non-officlals who are doing nothing of the sort. There isn’t.
Life around here is rather normal these days. Walmart even re-opened their second door this week.

Except for the fact that there are no actual crimes, just unproven accusations, and “violating the constitution” has become slang for “I hate Trump” and rarely has anything to do with anything actually written in the Constitution.

“Downright criminal”: Report that “racist Trump stooge” tried to censor CDC reports rocks experts
This is like Stalinist political commissars manipulating all information, even info that could kill you:
"Days after President Donald Trump admitted to knowingly downplaying the Covid-19 pandemic in his statements to the public, new reporting late Friday revealed that Trump political aides have been reviewing—and in some cases altering—weekly CDC reports about the deadly virus in an effort to bring them into closer alignment with the president’s false narrative and claims.
Politico reported Friday evening that the Health and Human Services Department’s politically appointed communications aides, led by former Trump campaign official Michael Caputo—a Republican strategist with no medical expertise—“have attempted to add caveats to the CDC’s findings, including an effort to retroactively change agency reports that they said wrongly inflated the risks of Covid-19 and should have made clear that Americans sickened by the virus may have been infected because of their own behavior.”

That headline shows what level of bias the article is loaded with. It’s an opinion piece, not fact reporting.

Continuing right along. Actual crimes, corruption & poor behavior by Biden & the lunatic dems. Biden refuses to mention the rioters, looters & protesters committing horrible crimes every night. (under the direction of the socialist democrats)
Every time we hear Biden speaking off the teleprompter getting confused & needing help following the text. Or even worse, trying to answer a question from the media when he can’t understand the prompter in his ear.
Sad commentary from Biden/Harris. They’re talking now like no way could they possibly take a covid 19 vaccine. President Trump might have some effect on the product.

Could you provide the source for this? There has to be some context. Who wouldn’t take a vaccine that’s been proven effective? I can totally relate to being reluctant to effectively be working as a guinea pig for an untested vaccine if one is rushed without proper phase 3 testing but they don’t strike me as anti-vaxxers otherwise.

Harris told CNN over holiday weekend that she would not necessarily take a vaccine approved by Trump.

Along with the CNN tape. Of course if there is a vaccine it would be approve by health sources. Trump would also be interested. 
Not what was said at all.
Fair critic of the one Argyll linked (which is an opinion piece from Salon an outlet well known for its left bias).
However, the original Politico piece seems like news reporting to me, not just opinion. And Politico ranks as neither leaning left or right usually too so I’d be cautious about dismissing them entirely.
To be fair, their article is also much more nuanced and reads to me like if it’s nowhere near as criminal or clear cut as the Salon article claimed. For example, the definition of people age 18-20 as pediatric population seems like a reasonable edit. But on the other hand, as scientist myself, the idea of being edited by appointed political actors without any scientific knowledge feels rather uncomfortable. Even when they are supported by other scientists, the risk of political interference is just too present for comfort. And some quotes accusing the CDC of pushing an agenda sound very much like a pot calling kettle black situation.

Darn, you made me go to CNN to find the actual quote. Shame on you! LOL
“I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he’s talking about”
Fair enough, she had to bash Trump - fair game for an opponent I guess. I’m guessing she wanted to make it sounds like he would have interfered with testing so the vaccine would be unreliable. I really dislike that line of discourse because it could easily give reasons for people to shun a perfectly good vaccine that could save lives.
Personally, I’d take a vaccine backed by Trump - or whoever really - provided it was thoroughly tested and I can review the evidence to my satisfaction and the conclusions are believable.

Roger Stone Calls For Trump To ‘Declare Martial Law’ To Seize Power If He Loses
Advisor and friend to Trump:
"To safeguard Trump’s position, Stone called for federal authorities to seize ballots in Nevada, for FBI agents to physically block certain voters from casting their ballots, and for Trump to use his powers for widespread arrests to solidify his power,…
Under martial law and the Insurrection Act, Trump will have “the authority” to arrest Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook, “the Clintons” and “anybody else who can be proven to be involved in illegal activity,” Stone said. He also called for the immediate arrest of former defense secretary James Mattis for “sedition,” apparently because he feared Trump was unfit for office, according to Washington Post journalist’s to Bob Woodward’s upcoming book, “Rage.”
In addition, Stone warned, journalists also risk arrest. “If the Daily Beast is involved in provably seditious … acts” in a new Trump future, their “entire staff can be taken into custody and their office can be shut down.” “They want to play war, this is war,” he added.
She didn’t say she wouldn’t, just that she wouldn’t trust Trump by himself. Which no one in their right mind would trust a habitual liar. You just paraphrased her in what you said.

Why do you think Trump is afraid to reveal his tax returns?
He promised to release them but then went back on his promise and has his lawyers fighting tooth and nail to stop their release.
He’s probably not, but it’s also probably a good idea not too. If you care about the answer, the boring reason is that he’s being audited, both for many years prior to his election and for all years since (as required for all sitting presidents), and any lawyer will tell you releasing information while under audit is a bad idea.
Plus keeping them private reduces political pressure on the IRS and avoids partisan legal speculation that would confuse voters. Surely you agree dont want anyone spreading misinformation about his taxes right ahead of the edition, and that this is a matter best left to the non-appointed professionals at the Agency? I know his fully audited compliance with the tax laws must have come as a disappointment for the decade thru 2008.
Three years ago, Trump released a letter from his tax attorneys saying that audits of seven years of his returns through 2008 had been closed without the government requiring him to make additional payments of taxes. But the IRS was still reviewing other returns from 2009 forward, the letter said.
Though they say auditing the president is a sensitive task, former IRS officials describe it as an uncontroversial process within the agency. They note the department has been auditing presidents for 40 years, and employees pride themselves on being nonpartisan administrators of the tax code.
The second link is fairly interesting for those inclined to learn about the details of how all presidents are audited.

I was expecting specifically @scripta and possibly @Shandril to fill that role. That was my main reason for bringing it up. I’ve recently read a few messages about people being offended by name calling and attacks on them instead of their ideas.
As for your excuse that it’s not name calling if it’s a fact, you may still be using what you called left slanted facts. Just because you (or any number of others) think it’s a fact, doesn’t mean it is a fact. Although I think our previous fearless leader committed acts of treason, I never called him a traitor, regardless of how angry and frustrated his “pass” by big media made me. Nor did I call him a point of sale.

Why is Argbot afraid to release his tax returns? Just because he hasn’t released them is no more indication that he is afraid than your refusal indicates that you’re afraid.

Well there was no evidence of the previous office holder’s campaign of cooperating with Russian operatives to become elected in the first place. (There’s been no evidence found of collusion, as that’s not an actual “thing”) Which there is with the current office holder. Among a million other things. He wasn’t a saint, but he also wasn’t in a love affair with the N Korean dictator (Trump’s own words. As usual.) or any other observed foreign allegiances, so it would be a real stretch to call him out as a traitor.
Running a sham charity to steal from taxpayers alone is also enough for someone to be a POS.
(related to your other thread… Gifts to charities actually do get a free step up in basis. AND are deductible – so they’re effectively negatively-taxed or taxpayer-subsidized. That’s why some scumbags run sham charities, funneling the taxpayer subsidies back to benefit themselves.)
