There’s no way the House GOP sees that as relevant, it’s not about the law or what’s just.
The whole point is to ‘normalise’ all the issues with Trump’s presidency so that the public just sees impeachment etc as a normal political process rather than a sign of something being seriously wrong.
Wait, what accused action? I thought they didn’t even have an accused action.
Being the second shooter on the grassy knoll.
We all know that was George Santos!!
P sure bidens the guy who killed honest abe
I don’t know about you all but I’m never voting for Hunter Biden.
The optimist in me wants to say: “yeah, you go girl!”
But the pessimist in me is saying: “cool, so if they’re so bad, who ARE you voting for?”
Out of the options, the lesser of two evils is easier to fight against.
Edit: I don’t actively support Biden. But between the guys who promise to either: A) have made it their purpose to impoverish and delegitimacize everyone but themselves, and the people that, B) are trying to do so without getting caught
I’ll go for the people that don’t want to get caught. They’re at least minimizing the damage they do to the world. 🙄
Extra edit for the dipshits that can’t read properly: I was saying that between the Bidens and the big orange blob and his fanatical cohorts, I’d rather have the Bidens. Y’all think I’m talking shit about the wrong person, and that reading comprehension (or lack thereof) is why I don’t actively support EITHER side because they’re BOTH full of fanatical retards.
How many times have you voted for Hunter?
I love how you just read whatever you wanted to, and then wrote this scree like we give a fuck what you think, and you’re not even intelligent enough to catch the joke that’s literally one sentence long.
Where did the Hunter Biden hurt you?
Republicans: This guy is the oldest president in the history of the USA, what do you mean his son isn’t pulling the strings? That is how it works with all elder politicians!
Honestly, it’s kind of amazing that they have spent all this time investigating Biden and haven’t found anything crooked. How is that even possible for a politician at his level?
Well as far as I see it he either is the folksy Grampa that he wants you to believe he is or he is a lizard person protected by dark forces within the world government. I see no other options.
I mean, as far as I can tell they have found a lot of crooked, IE suspicious as hell, stuff. Just nothing actually illegal. Like, it was both legal and crooked for him to get his son on the board of a Ukrainian gas company. Seems like everyone skips over that there is plenty of substance in the nonsense republicans are yelling about, this time. Though tbh I could be wrong, because I have no way of knowing for sure which parts of their yelling are completely made up and which are a twist of the truth.
Did he get his son on the board of Burisma or did his son just get himself on the board by using his father’s name just like he made “hey, what’s up dad?” calls to his father in meetings to make it seem like his father had influence?
Also, I’m not sure that using your influence to put your son on a company’s board is inherently crooked. Maybe unethical, but I wouldn’t put it as far as crooked.
Also, the Republicans are screaming about Hunter Biden using his father’s name to get a job, but are dead silent on Trump’s kids doing the same thing. Ivanka got a bunch of trademarks approved in China while her father was President. She had been trying to get them for years unsuccessfully. Then daddy becomes President and suddenly it goes through.
But that’s fine, apparently, because Trump.
It’s worse than that. Hunter Biden may have benefitted from what most of us would call “privilege” using his name.
Jared Kushner was denied top secret clearance because the intelligence agencies believed he would be too easily leveraged by foreign powers, especially given his finances. Donald Trump hired him into an official White House job, called him a Middle East advisor, reversed the intelligence decision and gave him top secret clearance.
At the end of the administration Qatari money helped buy a 1.2 billion dollar property Kushner could not manage to sell otherwise for years. It was a well timed bailout from a group that never showed interest before trump was president.
6 months after leaving the White House Saudis invested 2 billion in a fund to managed by Kushner despite his lack of experience managing funds that size.
I’ve never heard of anything like that related to Hunter.
This is true, but it’s also whataboutism. It was wrong when both people did it. Presidents shouldn’t be doing it at all
Yeah they’ll sit around and say stupid shit like it has any meaning. The rich have been riding their parents coattails forever. I don’t like it either but it’s not exactly earth-shattering news.
Don’t like it? Eat the rich.
And untalented nepo babies getting to do things that no one who was not in their position would be able to do at their skill level is also really common. See Tom Hanks’ son and Will Smith’s kids.
Exactly, if we’re being honest it’s half the reason (the more honest) people who do work hard and accumulate wealth do it in the first place. So that their kids/grand kids can have better lives. I’m not saying that I think nepotism is a good thing, but that on our list of issues to worry about it’s not very high.
I think it’s hilarious that after years and years of digging the best they found was that a born-rich-ruling-class, already-a-hedge-fund manager got a cushy job at a natural gas company.
It’s so blatantly obvious the GOPs attack on him is all tied to Russias interest in Ukraine.
I don’t know the details, but in general it seems pretty obviously crooked. Like, hunter clearly isn’t qualified for it. It’s entirely possible Joe had nothing to do with it, but if that’s so, why haven’t we seen any evidence against? I get that this would be proving a negative, but I think the onus is on Biden regardless when something so openly suspicious comes out.
Why does there need to be evidence? It’s not illegal to use your connections to get your son a cushy job whether he did it or not.
But it’s clearly very unethical, and not something a president should be doing. So if he did, that’s a big deal.
First of all, he wasn’t president when Hunter got on the board of Burisma. Secondly, that is not an impeachable offense. Thirdly, if you want to talk about presidents using their powers to help out their kids, let’s talk about Trump and Ivanka and Jared.
One of my friends got hired as a structural welder because his father was friends with a guy who owns a construction company.
My friend also happens to be a kickass welder.
Should I tell the police?
Checks GOP playbook: let see, what’s his stance on abortion?
What do you think he was welding?
Omg, the coat hangers! Get him!
to get his son on the board of a Ukrainian gas company
Sure seems like Joe didn’t do shit beyond father a child 53 years ago. The Biden name is all Hunter really needed for that.
A lot of suspicious stuff? Could you name 3?
People forget that W. Bush put Hunter on the Amtrak Board, and one board seat leads to other board seats. Joe didn’t do jack to get him on the Burisma board.
Dick Cheny and Halliburton strike me infinitley more corrupt than Biden.
True. Cheney also should not be president, along with Biden.
Sigh.
Please don’t fuck wit my facts with your trumped up propaganda.
Whats the propaganda?
All of it. All of their yelling is completely made up. Because if they had evidence, they’d show it to us.
Republicians are never going to go after a Democrat for sleazy, self-serving neoliberalism because they’re also sleazy, self-serving neoliberals.
It’s one of the unspoken rules of the rich – you can use unimportant bullshit to jostle for votes, viewers and market share but you’re never, ever to attack the system that makes them richer.
The moment someone does, watch them band together across “left-wing” and “right-wing” in a show of class solidarity and signal strength the rest of us can only dream of.
But ya know, not trump, he’s young.
You’re only as old as women you… *retches* oh god. I couldn’t finish typing that.
Mullin is a piece of shit who couldn’t even handle himself with a bored union rep who was halfheartedly teasing him.
I’m just surprised that anything has come out of his mouth that resembles any understanding of the law. As an Oklahoman, my bar is pretty much on the ground for our politicians.
Did they just realize he wasn’t a part of the government?
Lol would be hilarious if this was referring to Hunter. “Oh wait, shit this guy’s not in the government? Why the fuck have we been talking about him for the last 4 years?!”
“Also, how many people died in Benghazi? Four? And we caught the guy who did it? And it wasn’t Hillary?”
Greene: “Because I wanted to introduce his penis photos into the Congressional record. I mean, look at this thing!” (Holds up a giant poster board sized zoom in on Hunter’s privates.)
I don’t think they actually need a valid reason for impeachment.
They could have impeached Obama for wearing his brown suit. Or Jaywalking when he went to the restaurant and put ketchup on his burger or whatever the heck that was about.
Right. High crimes and misdemeanors. With no definition for either.

History
Launched in 1982, The Washington Times is a daily newspaper concentrating on politics and news. Based in Washington, D.C., The Washington Times was founded by a self-professed messiah, Korean Sun Myung Moon. According to its parent company, during Washington Times’ 20th anniversary, Moon said: “The Washington Times is responsible for letting the American people know about God” and “The Washington Times will become the instrument in spreading the truth about God to the world.”
Isn’t this the clown who Bernie Sanders chastised for wanting to have a physical fight with someone who was testifying to a Congressional committee?
Yes and he should always be remembered for the time Bernie Sanders saved him from an ass-whooping that would literally go down in history.
I honestly kind of wanted to see that fight. You know how much good PR the UAW would have gotten regardless of the outcome.
"Union president takes punch to the face for workers rights*
That is a headline that sells all day long.
The Washington Times is a garbage conservative conspiracy generator. If we’re not linking to Newsmax or FoxNews, we shouldn’t be linking to it.
True that!

They’re so gross. One doesn’t fail multiple fact checks by accident!
And also, presumably, because there were no crimes.
In my opinion it would be a disaster if you could receive compensation for future policy input, act on that input in office, and be immune simply because you were not in office when you received it.
Just prove he did or did not do it instead of whatever this nonsense take is.
lol. Here is how this is going to play out. Nothing will happen officially on this until next fall, within 30 days of the election. Then, there will be “leaks” to the media about details of Biden guilt, which will be complete bullshit but an attempt to swing independent voters.
Source: Hillary Clinton in 2016. Buttery males.
I’m pretty sure the stuff the Rs were actually going after Clinton over didn’t happen in office either, Lewinsky just presented a big target they could attach it all to.
Well yes and no. Special console ken starr was appointed over possible tax evasion. He found out about Monica. Then Clinton got in trouble over that AND lying about it. Bill narrowly avoided purjery charges.
By the letter of the text, “bribery, treason, or high crimes and misdemeanors” are all things one does in office which betray the dignity of the position. “High crimes” means crimes done by those in a place of authority.
So no, whatever Hunter stuff from before the election they’re trying to base the impeachment on would not be impeachable if you’re trying to be Constitutional.
But, there’s no one who can judge what counts as impeachable except the people who vote on it. They can really impeach/remove someone for whatever reason they want, they just need enough people to agree.
Misdemeanors is the key word, I think. It literally just meant having the wrong demeanor for public office.
Having no evidence except “payback for Trump, baby” might be a larger problem
