Corruption? I wouldn’t be very much surprised, simply because rich people in positions of power are like that.

The part about the informant reminded me of another informant that swore up and down that Saddam Hussein had huge stockpiles of “weapons of mass destruction” -remember that? There weren’t any.

By a trick of memory, I am also reminded of the previous Gulf war, and the harrowing testimony before Congress of a 15 year old girl about witnessing Iraqi soldiers emptying and taking incubators from a Kuwaiti hospital and leaving Kuwaiti babies to die on the cold hard floor. This also turned out to be a completely fictional story, told by (it was later revealed) the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador, that had been coached by a public relations firm called Hill & Knowlton, that was at the time contracted by the Kuwaiti government.

So I guess you can’t always trust informants or evidence produced by republican activity.

    Impeachment is a political process. So yes it’s always political theater. It has more substance than the Trump impeachments. Biden has some answer to give for his behavior

      Im sorry I must have missed some big news because I don’t recall Biden inciting an insurrection.

      Can you bring me up to speed on this with some reputable sources?

        I don’t recall Trump inciting one either but I never claimed Biden did.

        Biden is being impeached for corruption. Hunters laptop exposed just how corrupt Joe is.

          If you haven’t noticed the trend I will spell it out for you.

          The “evidence” on the laptop never existed.

          Just like the WMDs and the Iraqi’s stealing incubators in Kuwait it is a lie.

          One you ate up with no evidence because it lets you believe “the other team” are every bit as corrupt as your own “team” clearly is.

            The evidence has been validated.

            You have a cite that it’s false? It’s dkim signed.

            You’re the first person I’ve heard claim it’s false.

              It’s quite the bubble you live in if this is the first time you’ve heard it.

              As I said there is a clear pattern of behaviour and there is zero reason to expect differently this time.

              Oh and a neat factor may be that Im a cyber security expert, and I can tell you that laptop is worse than worthless.

              For 7 years Republicans have been screeching about Hunter and… nothing.

              Meanwhile Trumps maga insurrectionists are all going to jail.

                  I love how it was so obvious to anyone with more than two braincells to rub together.

                  The informant being charged for lying is just perfect.

                  Then the informant being paid by a Trump owned proxy…. Ahh it’s just too easy.

                Once again did you have a cite? Or are you going to keep lying? The laptop has confirmed to be true.

                And no you’re not a cybersecurity expert. lol. Jesus.

          Dang…people really do deny that Trump incited a insurrection. Y’all are wild.

          We all watched him do it, caught red-handed, and then we’re supposed to be like, but he’s innocent until proven guilty!. Therefore he did nothing wrong.

          That state between conviction and innocence is true for every criminal. Hell, the argument that “illegal” immigrants are invading the country is undermined by the conservative stance on Trump. Yeah, we can see videos of immigrants entering the country, but they’re not convicted of anything, and therefore are innocent

          To insist on the innocence of Trump over the innocence of immigrants is purely motivated reasoning. It just shows clearly that conservatives couldn’t care less about principles, even those as immutable as basic logic, but are openly and proudly self-serving.

          And the conduct of Hunter Biden reflects on Joe to the same extent the conduct of a crackhead reflects on any rich parent.

          Also, just to twist the knife, Biden isn’t on Epstein’s list. But Trump is! Multiple times even!

            1. Jan 6 wasnt an insurrection, it was a protest.

            2. Trump did not incite jan 6.

              Protests don’t break into buildings hosting elections. Trump is their leader, who intentionally riled them up with lies and sent them in.

                Have you seen the footage? They basically just walked around for a few hours. And it wasn’t broken into, they were literally waved in.

                Trump literally told them to go home.

                    Literally the last tweet: “Go home with love & in peace.”

            Just saying “we watched it” doesn’t actually mean it happened. You’re free to just be wrong
