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.
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.
Is that "shit shit, I almost blew my cover"?
Did "They're stretching, but they know that. They just want something to stretch." not let you know I thought they were full of shit the whole time?
Their whole platform is nothing but stretching lies into shit that sounds just barely true enough that it isn't immediately shut down.
He's taken a few steps to help his son which could make him an accomplice, but only if Hunter is a criminal.
He hasn't taken any steps to help his son with Burisma or Ukraine or anything legal, afaik (and the GOP would be shouting it from the rooftops if it existed). He maybe have taken steps to help his son with addiction, but that wouldn't make him an accomplice. Hunter is a criminal.
Your opening sentence looks like a propaganda admission that's followed with backtracking to gain normal human support. Maybe you didn't intend that, but that one opening sentence looks sus af.
Well your statement made me look into it and I was just wrong on a few things. I thought Biden was more active in what his son was doing. I didn't think it was illegal, but I did think it was a mutual thing.
Looking into it, though, that's not at all true. I apparently did buy into some of the propaganda. Thanks for keeping me honest and not just being a dick about it, always nice to have a good interaction online.
It's also hard to tell if someone's being genuine. I think people grossly underestimate the amount of foreign, nation state level propaganda that occurs on social media. And even if they acknowledge it exists in general, they rarely suspect they've encountered it.
I don't think the US government actively participates, but they absolutely monitor. If the US does participate , it's indirectly by asking someone else to do it for us, ala Five Eyes. There are other governments that give zero fucks about getting caught.
US political parties absolutely do though. I'm actually surprised Hillarys's campaign got so much shit for clearly labeling when they did it with "Correct the Record". Though they picked a shitty name, I think that was the right way to go about things.
Shokin did not start Burisma investigation, according to his deputy the case was completly dormant the entire less than the year he was in office (yes, he was in the office for less of a year in total).
All political parties in Ukraine (except the ruling one which was blocking the process) started his impeachment, because of the corruption and also because he refused investigating who ordered to open fire at protesters during Euromaidan protests.
His removal was requested by the United States, European Union, World Bank and IMF. Either Hunter really has a lot of friends or Joe Biden was doing his job, by refusing to provide aid until office responsible to crack on corruption was doing its job.
(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.
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...
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 😂
Repubs don’t give a shit about anything but their fascist dream.
True. The hypocrisy and other inconsistencies are features, not bugs.
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.
That's one lucky pig!
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"
She's about to give the whole Congress a Bobert in the bathroom.
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?
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
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!
This is like telling a toddler not to eat candy out of the candy dish when you leave the room.
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.
You should be able to show.. a little bit of porn during impeachment hearings. 🥚
Have the entire hearing with everyone naked!
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!"
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.
I think MTG is Dog the Bounty Hunter in drag.
