Republicans have been unable to produce any evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden, so they’re moving forward with an impeachment inquiry for show.
The same morning that Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) admitted that an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden would be not a response to evidence, but an effort to dig up dirt, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced that he is endorsing exactly such a process.
In his press conference, McCarthy repeatedly referred to allegations and listed them — as abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption — as though they were not unfounded allegations, but direct evidence.
He avoided any mention of the complete lack of actual evidence or the simple fact that the allegations are coming from within the House.
“Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations,” he claimed, going on to argue, “These allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption.”
He closed his press conference with a call for President Biden and his family to cooperate with the investigation.
“Eyewitnesses have testified that the president joined on multiple phone calls,” McCarthy said.
What he didn’t mention was that his star witness, Devon Archer, also admitted that, while Biden may have joined his son Hunter on phone calls briefly, he did not engage in business on those calls, but just exchanged pleasantries.

This announcement by being the Leader of the Republicans says the whole party is in agreement they have evidence he committed crimes worthy of impeachment?
Republicans throw so much (bleep) into the news cycle so stuff like this gets buried. They are all knowingly supporting a Russian Asset for POTUS

Just went to lookup "The Big Lie" and damn
Mein Kampf is quoted in the Jewish virtual library that describes Trump and his behavior imho
https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/joseph-goebbels-on-the-quot-big-lie-quot
| Quote: | “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
This is an excellent definition of the “Big lie,” however, there seems to be no evidence that it was used by Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels, though it is often attributed to him.
The original description of the big lie appeared in Mein Kampf. Adolf Hitler applied it to the behavior of Jews rather than as a tactic he advocated. Specifically, he accused Viennese Jews of trying to discredit the Germans’ activities during World War I. Hitler wrote of the Jews’ “unqualified capacity for falsehood |
^^It goes on to quote Mein Kampf . I'll leave them on their site but the exploitation of the psychology of human thinking is how MAGA NAZI etc get built |

They also tried to impeach Obama and even talked about also filing a lawsuit against him. You know that their wet dream is to get rid of the Democratic Party, just like what Florida Republicans tried to do in a clever and devious way.
| Quote: | A Republican in Florida's Legislature has filed a bill that, if enacted, would eliminate the Florida Democratic Party.
“The Ultimate Cancel Act,” filed Tuesday by state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, would require the state’s Division of Elections to “immediately cancel” the filings of any political party whose platform had “previously advocated for, or been in support of, slavery or involuntary servitude.”
The bill, called SB 1248, would require Florida officials to notify all registered voters who belong to any canceled parties that their parties no longer exist. It would also change their voter registrations to “no party affiliation” and “provide procedures” for those voters to update their affiliations to “an active political party.” |

They're all complicit
Did Romney alert Secret Service the FBI CIA Anyone?
"The Instigator"
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4202800-mcconnell-didnt-reply-to-romneys-text-warning-about-jan-6-book/
| Quote: | | “There are calls to burn down your home, Mitch; to smuggle guns into DC, and to storm the Capitol. I hope that sufficient security plans are in place, but I am concerned that the instigator—the President—is the one who commands the reinforcements the DC and Capitol police might require,” he said. |

Further proof that Bill Maher is just a douchebag scab and not the brave liberal that so many think he is.

Bill was always controversial. I liked his New Rules segment.

Bill Maher is about Bill Maher. Full stop.
He has no positions. He has no compass. He's 100% about himself. His morality is flexible. I don't think he really believes in anything. He'll say just enough to appease both sides so they both think he's on their team, but it's really all about self-aggrandizement.

Who do you think would do a better job responding to a national crisis: Joe Biden or Donald Trump?
Trump 52%
Biden 42%
Quinnipiac Poll
---
Thinking about improving the economy, who do you trust more, President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump, to improve the economy?
Trump 47% (+11)
Biden 36%
USA Today Poll
---
These polls are freaking insane, and I'm very worried about 2024.

I like Bill Maher, but it would've been a lot better for him to pay the writers for his show himself. I'm sure he's wealthy enough to do that for at least a month or two.

What he is doing in this situation is wrong on several levels. The major one being that he claims he is doing this to help the crew. The truth is he is helping the AMPTP break the union that is the only strength those people have have as long term protection of their jobs.
There’s nothing to like about Bill Maher. He is nothing but a narcissistic POS.

Maher is worth a couple of hundred million, but him paying his writers won;t resolve the issues over which they're striking.

It’s more complicated than that. Paying the writers to come to work despite the strike makes them scabs, thus their careers would be over outside of working for Maher because they’d be kicked out of the WGA.
At the end of the day, he’s screwing everybody that us on the show. The writers in the short-term and the crew on the long term because he is giving the AMPTP the ammunition to say that unions are not necessary and are an obstacle to their profits.
People like Maher and Drew Barrymore, who did the same thing are just vile, self indulgent people who don’t actually care about anyone but themselves .

Trump had a chance to respond to a national crisis and a turbulent economy and he crapped himself. Were these people not alive 3 years ago?

The polling has generally skewed right of where the voting public is for 10+ years. My theory is that almost all the big newspaper chains are owned by right wing oligarchs and managed by their scions or lackeys, so they naturally gravitate to and partner with right leaning polling firms.

Anyone have any ideas what the goal is for Republicans to start Weaponizing the DOJ against CHILDREN of Politicians??
These are sensitive issues. FAFO tests
They're treating Biden like he is Jesus?
Torturing his family to see if he will drop his values and seek Vengeance?
Is it all for show to use his son's struggles to harm Joe's reputation?
I truly was raised to hate liars and humans who abuse their power.
Watching these Republicans mindlessly senselessly violently try to destroy the good things about America is traumatizing. |
