President Joe Biden late Wednesday brushed off the House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry, saying the way he sees it, they launched the investigation against him because they want to shut down the federal government.

Biden, speaking at a Democratic fundraiser in Virginia, said that instead of being concerned about the probe, “I’m focused on the things the American people want me focused on.”

The president’s remarks were the first since Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the launch of a Biden impeachment inquiry while the Republican House leader is also struggling to shore up votes to fund the government and prevent a federal shutdown.

    Don’t get it twisted. They don’t have anything on Hunter either. Republicans hate him because he worked in Ukraine to expand American influence and Ukrainian fossil fuel independence from Russia. Russia had been using its oil flow to Ukraine to control Ukrainian politics.

    The company Hunter worked for starting I believe in 2014, was formed in Ukraine by ukrainians for the sole purpose of breaking its dependence on Russian fuel.

    Sure, he got the job because of his name. That’s not a crime. All the newspapers covered it in 2014 when he got the job, and everything was found to be on the up and up by the federal ethics watchdog, whose name is escaping me right now. He was working to further Western interests and undermine Russia. Dude is a patriot through and through.

      Well I’m not really in the interest of defending him, in fact the less I know the better lol. I don’t want to drink whatever the hell is in the republican kool-aid. I just know he’s a private citizen so my giving a fuck ends right there.

        Totally reasonable. I guess I defended him because of my lizard brain. If they can make up bullshit about him, what could they do to me? So in a way, I’m subconsciously defending myself. I do care about private citizens who execute, or undermine, American foreign policy, though. All evidence point to his work, and that of his company, being extremely successful; just by the fact of how much Russian loyalists in Ukraine and America hate him.

        Shit, he probably did do a little spying.
