So, do they have any proof that Joe Biden has done anything or are they just pretending that Joe and Hunter are the same person?
They intentionally keep saying "Biden", talking about Hunter but with the intent that people will take it as Joe. They got called out for it but like that would stop them.
It's especially rich coming from the side that's so horribly overtly corrupt and well known for cronyism and nepotism.
They basically don't have proof of anything. They are just doing political theater to distract from the issues they are causing.
Like the shutdown...
He's taken a few steps to help his son which could make him an accomplice, but only if Hunter is a criminal.
They're stretching, but they know that. They just want something to stretch.
I'm not sure that's really true. The only thing they've pointed at is that prosecutor being fired in Ukraine, but that was because the prosecutor was corrupt and people all over the world were calling for it. Also the prosecutor was notably corrupt by not investigating the company Hunter was working for (so Joe getting them fired actually went against his son's interests)
Well no it's not true. They're just saying it, and I only repeat it here because the question was asking for their argument and not facts. Biden almost certainly has a bias for his son (go figure, most dads would) but I haven't heard anything that's actually substantiative in regards to impeachment. They're all hot air.
(X) doubt. If he had done anything illegal, the repubs would have made that known by now. Instead it’s going to be a boatload of bullshit allegations.
Indeed. They've already investigated this six ways from Sunday, and they've found nothing. It's Hilary and Benghazi all over again - the modern republican strategy of repeating a edit: ~~law~~ lie often enough people start to believe. With their base, it doesn't even take that much repetition.
No. Yes.
WASHINGTON — The House Oversight Committee on Thursday convened its first hearing in the GOP's impeachment inquiry, presenting a panel of Republican-picked witnesses who said while there is no evidence of a crime by President Joe Biden, more bank records are needed from him and his son Hunter Biden to determine if there might be.
The point is to discredit the whole impeachment process. "Oh, the other side always tries to impeach. It's just political theater." In order to minimize the fact that Trump was impeached for actual crimes.
They don't intend to be successful, they intend to give people an excuse to say "BoTh SiDeS!" The next time a republican is in office and gets impeached for actual crimes.
It's this. They want to impeach Hunter and are using this as a farce to do so, but... Hunter isn't the president, so....
Why would they need proof when they know he’s guilty?
They spent +8 years claiming Barack Obama was born in Kenya, which was true, he was born in Kenya and his son went on to become president.
*again.
She’s being asked again to not show porn at the proceedings again.
these are very unserious proceedings…. And she has a very serious crush….so it’s not allowed.
Her Dem opponent should honestly take out ads in her ultra-conservative district reminding everyone that she's the Larry Flynt of Congress 😂
Have they remembered to ask Boebert to abstain from making ~~pork~~ porn during Biden's impeachment carnival, too?
Whoa now. How is she preparing the pork?
With an over-the-pants handjob in a public theater in the presence of minors.
Tempting but I think I'll pass.
Makin bacon at the beach
Slow down a minute. You know she wouldn't share any with Democrats. This could work out pretty well.
Don't worry she'll probably have her "hands full"
while allowing Hunter Biden to exploit women
Why is the US House Oversight Committee resposible for the behavior of a private citizen?
You forgot the best part:
She was holding up a blown-up photo of a plane ticket and a photo of a nearly-naked woman for whom Hunter Biden allegedly purchased the ticket.
OK so caring about women's rights is displaying huge private pictures of women without their consent. Got it, thanks Marjorie!
I agree, Hunter Biden should not hold the role of US President. Now, can you they back to work?
Glad MTG is being asked this. Hunter Biden naked is something they think about just as much as the prostitutes themselves.
That title belongs in brandnewsentence.
Anyone ever predicted the day would come a US representative would have to REPEATEDLY be told not to show revenge porn in impeachment hearings??
Not sure it counts as a brandnewsentence if the brand new part is the word "again".
How is it legal?
Lord knows.
You can't wear casual wear in the Senate without being excluded, but you can show revenge porn on the House floor and probably actually gain votes by doing so.
MTG strikes me as the kind of person who absentmindedly starts staring when farm animals go at it
Her apparent needing to be reminded multiple times to not bring literal revenge porn into political discussions is not helping this image in my mind
Does the "Boebert rule" apply here? Over-the-top is "family friendly"?
Pretty sure the Boebert rules are “in the top”… and uh, everywhere else, apparently.
This is like telling a toddler not to eat candy out of the candy dish when you leave the room.
How come the Christian Nationalist Protect The Children Party can't stop showing porn or giving handjobs in public?
Because they're always thinking of the children!
You should be able to show.. a little bit of porn during impeachment hearings. 🥚
She was holding up a blown-up photo of a plane ticket and a photo of a nearly-naked woman for whom Hunter Biden allegedly purchased the ticket.
Perhaps wishing that she was the nearly-naked woman.
I think MTG wants him.
MTG:"But the last impeachment of a democrat president had porn! It had millions of dollars spent on a report detailing exact sex scenes! Why can we do it for this one!"
