In a lengthy report released on the first day of the Democratic National Convention, Republicans used circumstantial evidence to accuse the president of corruption tied to his son’s foreign business dealings.
House Republicans on Monday formally made the case for impeaching President Biden, releasing a lengthy report accusing him of corruption and seeking to allow his family to profit off his office in connection with foreign business deals made by his son Hunter, who has been charged with felony tax crimes.
In the 291-page document, released on the day that Democrats gather in Chicago to begin their party convention, Republicans call Mr. Biden’s conduct “egregious” and say he should be impeached for abuse of power and obstruction. But the report contains no proof that Mr. Biden, when he was vice president, engaged in any corrupt quid pro quo to benefit his son’s business partners, and Republicans admit they have no direct evidence that he ordered any interference into a Justice Department investigation into Hunter Biden.
“It is not necessary for the House of Representatives to show that the dealings involved a quid pro quo to rise to the level of an impeachable offense.”
You wrote 291 pages and admit, in the document, that you don't make your point?
I also remember when Obama was about to leave office and McConnel blocked his SCOTUS nomination because of it, then when Trump was about to leave office with less time left bent over backwards to get his SCOTUS nomination passed.
Yes, but they also had like a dozen Benghazi investigations that never uncovered anything becsuse being wrong has any bearing on Republican actions. They know it is bullshit, but think it will rile up their base.
Not just rile up their base but also sow discord and distrust among democrats, independents and undecideds. Though this is admittedly less effective when Biden himself isn't running anymore.
Seriously. These guys have 1 trick. And nobody cares. All that "Biden Crime Family" BS evaporated when Biden didn't swoop in to save hunter from that conviction.
Ya know what vanished faster because nobody cares? Someone trying to kill that convicted felon trump. I still laugh that it took less then 3 days for even the media to not give a rats ass about him almost dying.
We only stopped hearing about it because the failed assassin was a right-leaning white male citizen of the USA, and no Republican seems to be able to make political hay out of that, so they'd rather not talk about it.
They know they don't have anything, this is for the base. It's more like a man trying to trick a blind dog into thinking the stick he's giving him is a bone.
Because you're using logic and reason. You can't do that if you want to understand the republiQan base.
It's a cult. Very literally. There's a supreme leader who cannot be questioned, and members risk being excommunicated for speaking against the cult. Plus 100 other ways.
Extreme capitalistic (or "national socialist", or religious) patriarchy is a gun to the head. That's how it works. No discussion is requried, or wanted. Everything that seems "normal" about it is the edge of the cult where culture and language and all the human elements struggle between the cult and the real world.
They're going for an outcome (winning an election), they don't care how they get there. To them the ends justify the means, whatever those means end up being.
This is the same shit as before. Moskowitz offered to impeach in March this year, and they wouldn't do it. They've been claiming for years that he's done all this stuff, and he needs impeached. And then when offered a golden ticket to do so, they wavered.
There is nothing there. And even if there is, who gives AF, arrest him. I'm not losing sleep over it. They would have done it if they had the evidence before. And now, in August, with 3 months left and 2 months basically of lame duck time, they want to impeach him? It's a political stunt, nicely timed with the start of the DNC.
