Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

It’s good to see a bipartisan consensus on impeaching criminal sleepy Joe
Is he sleepy or a criminal? Make up your mind.
Typical fascism. Your enemy is both weak and strong.
He’s sleepy and a criminal, there’s no contradiction there. Look at all the criminals that sleep in broad daylight on our city streets. Also I never said he was “strong”. A stiff breeze would probably knock him over
Ah, so his "crime" takes no effort and is on the level of a misdemeanor. Doesn't sound like much of a crime.
Low effort crimes are even worse than high effort ones. At least take some pride in your work, even if your job is doing crimes.
I see, so what low effort crimes has he committed in specific?
Too many to list. Stealing money from hardworking taxpayers to pay off the student loans for a bunch of lazy baristas for example. Losing the war in Afghanistan. Letting Hunter snort cocaine in the White House. Opening up the borders so just anybody can come in. Defunding the police. Bidenomics.
Not a crime. He did not steal that money and this has already been dealt with by the Supreme Court. That also took a lot of effort. That wasn't a simple thing like changing a number in a spreadsheet.
Not a crime. Furthermore, Trump negotiated the end of that war with the Taliban and Biden had the very difficult process of doing it. He did do a terrible job, but that is not a crime.
That simply didn't happen, don't lie.
Also a lie.
Also a lie. He doesn't even have that power.
Not a crime, takes a herculean amount of effort.
Nothing you listed was a crime, a lot of it takes tons of work. So you have proven that he is neither sleepy nor a criminal. Good job!
You want me to believe he hasn’t done anything at all? Yeah right. What about when he raised taxes on the rich?
Raising taxes on the rich isn’t a crime. Nor is it even a bad idea.
It is a crime against humanity because it is stealing and also discrimination against a minority group.
Taxing the rich is a crime against humanity? I'll bite. Why is that?
It’s discrimination against the minority of the opulent and it’s thievery, it stifles innovation and hurts the economy
Lmao ok Ronald we already proved trickle down doesn't work.
Is taxing people a crime? What the hell are you on about?
Yes it is
Don't feed the troll. He isn't here to argue in good faith, he just wants attention. Block and move on
Republicans want to impeach sleepy Joe for his many crimes. And now we have this article of a democrat saying “go ahead”. I see that as bipartisan.
Don't waste your time on trolls or idiots.
Too many countless crimes and schemes to count. He’s trying to turn us into a communist dictatorship. What about when he let that Chinese spy balloon take pictures of all our secrets?
I already have named several in this thread but here’s another one: what about when he threatened to withhold money from Ukraine until they fired the prosecutor that was investigating the company that was paying his crack head son $50,000 a month?
LOL that's simply not true. I suspect you know that though.
But let's say he did that ...
Are you saying you DO believe withholding money from Ukraine is an illegal and impeachable offensive? Because oh buddy do I have a story for you.
Reading this as Richard Ayoade playing Morris Moss gave me a chuckle.
Shit... is this why conservatives have such high numbers in polls even if they support turning your country into a shithole? Is it because Republican voters can't understand nuance in speech, so when they promise you things, you keep believing?
Wow, this is breakthrough-level stuff. Is everyone voting republican unable to discern sarcasm for example? Here - you have a really great view on politics. How does that statement make you feel? Are all republicans affected by this condition? Is every single republican out there actually on the spectrum and waiting for a cure for a condition they don't even know they have, because half of them lack the education to understand it's real? The ramifications of this are potentially yuuge.
Ah, but what if they have other speech/written text-related issues as well? Like how we've established you lack the ability to understand subtext, maybe you lose focus when reading long series of words. Are all republicans functionally illiterate or suffering from ADHD? Are you maybe too close to dementia to even be able to communicate cohesive thoughts? It's an interesting rabbit hole we're going down here. But hey, I probably wrote too much already, I'll give you a hand with the comprehension.
TL;DR: lol retard
Thank you! Glad to see somebody around here with some common sense.
On a serious note, please don’t throw around insensitive language, I know many people who have learning disabilities, and it’s not appropriate to use those words as insults. It’s hurtful.
Is this Drax the Destroyer? Holy crap! I gotta say you're my 6th favorite Guardian!
Biden commits crimes in his sleep and you can't catch him red-handed? Ouch!
He’s been caught many times, you just bury your head in the sand and pretend it didn’t happen. Sad to see what the world is coming to.
Any evidence of that or you just blowing hot air?
The consensus being that it's stupid, just like those stupid trumpy nicknames.
