    We have problems with: affordable housing, healthcare costs, college costs, a rampant threat of literal white extremist terrorism, a disappearing middle-class, and millions of children who go hungry every day.

    This is the bullshit the conspiracy theory loving Republicans do instead of actually, you know, governing.

    They have zero ideas, zero morals, and zero concept of hypocrisy. What a waste of time these 2 years in the republican run House has been.

      This is mostly about normalizing “impeachment” so that Trump’s two impeachments don’t look as bad. This is a classic Republican tactic: when your guy gets caught doing “thing” start slinging “thing” around at your enemies until it loses all meaning.

      Similar tactic to co-opting “fake news”, “woke”, “feminism”, and “critical race theory”. All were terms that threatened to undermine the conservative ideology, and so were quickly hurled around as insults until their original meaning was completely distorted.

      Not just republicans, conservatives world wide have no relevant policies and have to resort to populist fear mongering to stay relevant. Look at England, Canada, Germany, Italy and RuZZia, they have nothing to offer but discrimination and ostracism.

      Republicans actually want people to suffer. They love it, it shows that they’re winning. The more misery in the world, the closer it is to their ideal.

    What is the evidence? Let’s look, and there isn’t any. Everything in this is based on fake news and MAGA talking points. There isn’t anything in this that occurred.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, “must get even for impeaching Trump twice.” 🙄

    Republicans are like toddlers going from one temper tantrum to the next and it’s exhausting.

      “The Biden Crime Family has personally profited of Joe’s government positions through bribery, threats, and fraud. Joe Biden must not be allowed to continue to sit in the White House, selling out our country,” Steube continued.

      Ironic that’s essentially everything Donnie has actually been indicted for

        They haven’t yet been indicted for the obstruction of justice during the Muller investigation - that was the one where the whole family was involved.

      That’s the point. They just fling shit until you’re overwhelmed and exhausted dealing with it all that you can’t properly do anything else.

    Pretty sure someone already did this and the Republicans killed it by referring to committee. Because they don’t want anyone in an even slightly purple seat to have to vote on this.

      I think the majority of them don’t want this to get to a vote. They’re in a shitty situation where they have to convince moderate and independent voters that they’re not extremists or super far right – but they also need to satisfy their extremist base or they’re getting primaried out as a RINO in the swamp. Republican leadership keeps trying to carefully thread that needle, and the extremist wing constantly gets in their way of doing so.

    Sounds like he’s hoping he can use the word “Biden” over and over, describing every infraction of Hunter and hope the Senate and American people are too dumb to know he’s not actually talking about the President.

      Kind of like when they attacked Obama for his policies in Libya, threatening to impeach him, threatening to defund operations, then going “Benghazi! Benghazi! Benghazi!” completely forgetting they were totally opposed to doing ANYTHING in Libya and that, yeah, Benghazi is, in fact, in Libya.

    Wait, wasn’t the thing they’re accusing Hunter of, the whole “selling access” thing something that happened years ago before Biden was ever President?
