Biden is like a wonkish boy scout.  The contortions that the Far Right employs to make him seem corrupt would fill a yoga master with envy.

I eagerly await your defense when the hearings get underway

You mean the hearings that start next week?

Nope.

From the article:

Joe Biden has said hes never spoken to his son about his foreign business. And there are no indications that the federal investigation involves the president in any way.

So what was it you thought I would be defending?  Phony partisan outrage generated by a Kremlin disinformation plant?

The guy is toast

Just a matter of how brutal the Republicans wish to make it on his way down.

Doesn't matter - he was President - and like Trump (and "the little champ" in Eight men Out) - 'cant no one take that away'...    He's in the books.

Or maybe you mean like the recently ended court case against her campaign's lawyers.



The trial proved Hillary did herself in.
And she is done, politically.
I am gutted, truly gutted, that she will not be a candidate to succeed Biden in 2028 when she will be 81.

I deleted the stuff from cloudcuckooland. I am sure your right wing sources are trying desperately to turn the Sussman trial, and the entire Durham investigation, into something other than the diseased bloody and useless pool of right wing spunk it is. And failing.

Biden did watch multiple episodes of "Aquarius" in which the Manson family figured prominently.  Disturbing if true, and some are saying he may have composed a fan letter to David Duchovny who is, hope you're sitting down, HALF UKRAINIAN.  Coincidence, or yet another sign of unwholesome connections?

Like I said - hearings that are pure politics intended to harm the President. There is no legitimate goal there, of course.

Clearly, the Dems should have held hearings about Eric and Donald Jr, about whom there are already verified scams. But for some reason, they thought the wheels of justice should be left to work about them.

Benghazi and emails, all over. Whether Hunter Biden committed crimes or not, such hearings by a party that refused to look at January 6th is a travesty.

Assuming, as I think likely, the Repos gain at least the House, I look forward to the Dems announcing that the Repo investigation of a private citizen is inappropriate and 8nvalod and refusing to participate in the Committee while everyone ignores the subpoenae as invalid and unconstitutional. Especially if Gym Jordan is the chair.

With each such announcement done with quote marks and a footnote of which GOP member said it previously.

They should conduct interviews the same way. "Well, as Kevin McCarthy said..."

Republicans are represented on Jan 6 committee.  They also had others ready to serve.

The Party is not, as they have repeatedly proclaimed.

And the others ready to serve were going to be subpoenaed as witnesses and therefore were inappropriate to put on the committee.

But I meant their refusal to participate or even allow the proposed Select Committee:

But you're just posturing, regardless.

Kid misses the Eisenhower years, the last time the republicans were anything more than a terrorist tool of organized crime.

In his mind, the Benghazi and e-mail hoaxes are the pinnacle of republican policy making and statesmanship in the subsequent period. He might be right. Republicans do not seem capable of doing anything better than using tax dollars to spread smears and lie to voters, which is all they ever accomplish when given any control over a branch of government.

Nor did she need to. If "integrity of the investigation" doesn't explain it to you, Kid, nothing will.

Jordan has been subpoenaed. As noted, that would have made having him on the Committee a tad inappropriate. I don't know about Banks.

But McCarthy's reaction was not to replace them, but to yank the others off. Grandstanding for his party, as ever.

Refusing to contribute to a sham investigation is what McCarthy was doing. 

Pelosi said nothing about Jordan being removed due to a subpoena.   In fact any real wisdom would tell you the subpoena was retaliatory. 

You were caught in a minor  fib there, Joshie.   Live with it.
