House G.O.P. makes impeachment case against Biden without proof of crime
In a lengthy report released on the first day of the Democratic National Convention, Republicans used circumstantial evidence to accuse the president of corruption tied to his son’s foreign business dealings.
In a lengthy report released on the first day of the Democratic National Convention, Republicans used circumstantial evidence to accuse the president of corruption tied to his son’s foreign business dealings.
House Republicans on Monday formally made the case for impeaching President Biden, releasing a lengthy report accusing him of corruption and seeking to allow his family to profit off his office in connection with foreign business deals made by his son Hunter, who has been charged with felony tax crimes.
In the 291-page document, released on the day that Democrats gather in Chicago to begin their party convention, Republicans call Mr. Biden’s conduct “egregious” and say he should be impeached for abuse of power and obstruction. But the report contains no proof that Mr. Biden, when he was vice president, engaged in any corrupt quid pro quo to benefit his son’s business partners, and Republicans admit they have no direct evidence that he ordered any interference into a Justice Department investigation into Hunter Biden.
They’ve been saying they’ll use impeachment as both a political weapon against their enemies and as a defense to their own crimes.
Impeach our guy for actual acts he did? Fuck you, well just SAY your guy did stuff.
Check and MATE.
Republicans used impeachment as a weapon in the 90s against Clinton, so they are just confirming they will continue.
Ok, maybe I am OOTL but didn't they try this already? And when questioned no one could find faults with his dealings?
Yes, but they also had like a dozen Benghazi investigations that never uncovered anything becsuse being wrong has any bearing on Republican actions. They know it is bullshit, but think it will rile up their base.
Oh for sure! I just wasn't sure if this was a continuation of their previous attempt, or something new all together!
They've been trying since the Jan 6th insurrection failure and so far all that's come up is Republican congresspeople getting duped by foreign agents.
Still waiting for James Comer's apology and resignation

Don't hold your breath lol.
That SETTLES it! I'm NOT voting for Biden this Election ANYMORE!
“It is not necessary for the House of Representatives to show that the dealings involved a quid pro quo to rise to the level of an impeachable offense.”
You wrote 291 pages and admit, in the document, that you don't make your point?
GOP: Your honor, we declare the accused GUILTY of all these crimes.
Judge: and what evidence do you have?
GOP: NONE BUT WE CAN YELL IT REALLY LOUD.
Judge: and what do you have to say Biden?
Biden lawyers: WE CAN YELL NOT GUILTY EVEN LOUDER!
Judge: that was definitely louder, I declare him not guilty!
Remember when Trump was impeached (the second time) and Republicans argued that there was no point since he was about to leave office?
I also remember when Obama was about to leave office and McConnel blocked his SCOTUS nomination because of it, then when Trump was about to leave office with less time left bent over backwards to get his SCOTUS nomination passed.
Haha they had this all queued up for Biden but now it’s Harris and they went for it anyways
And guess who takes over if Joe gets removed?
Oh no, anyway.
Seriously. These guys have 1 trick. And nobody cares. All that "Biden Crime Family" BS evaporated when Biden didn't swoop in to save hunter from that conviction.
Ya know what vanished faster because nobody cares? Someone trying to kill that convicted felon trump. I still laugh that it took less then 3 days for even the media to not give a rats ass about him almost dying.
We only stopped hearing about it because the failed assassin was a right-leaning white male citizen of the USA, and no Republican seems to be able to make political hay out of that, so they'd rather not talk about it.
Is someone getting almost shot actually news worthy in America?
Lmfao oh shit that's a good point!
They really want Harris that badly?
I think this meme really sums up current Republican feelings vis-à-vis Biden and Harris:
They're going for an outcome (winning an election), they don't care how they get there. To them the ends justify the means, whatever those means end up being.
Republicans are so transparent. FFS why even support them? This is just so stupid it's sad.
Because you're using logic and reason. You can't do that if you want to understand the republiQan base.
It's a cult. Very literally. There's a supreme leader who cannot be questioned, and members risk being excommunicated for speaking against the cult. Plus 100 other ways.
Extreme capitalistic (or "national socialist", or religious) patriarchy is a gun to the head. That's how it works. No discussion is requried, or wanted. Everything that seems "normal" about it is the edge of the cult where culture and language and all the human elements struggle between the cult and the real world.
Watch
the two minutes hatefox news primetime and you'll understand.I hope you don't have hair because you'll be pulling it out listening to these assholes that live in upside down world.
For the important supporters, they are invested and can't cash out, the only way for them to make a return is if he wins.
This is just another useless baseless tactic to
- Disrupt the start of the DNC
- Make "impeachment" seem so benign and common that that people won't care the next time a gopper is impeached for actual legit reasons
gopper
I hear "gopnik" is actually a word; in Russian, no less.
These people are like a dog with a bone, except the dog is blind and the bone is just a stick.
They know they don't have anything, this is for the base. It's more like a man trying to trick a blind dog into thinking the stick he's giving him is a bone.
So they're saying he got payments from people and had businesses?
Seems a lot like a certain weird old man running for president.
Oh, are they that eager to put Harris in charge?
That Biden guy seems like he could be a criminal, they should really stop those guys from running for President.
This is the same shit as before. Moskowitz offered to impeach in March this year, and they wouldn't do it. They've been claiming for years that he's done all this stuff, and he needs impeached. And then when offered a golden ticket to do so, they wavered.
There is nothing there. And even if there is, who gives AF, arrest him. I'm not losing sleep over it. They would have done it if they had the evidence before. And now, in August, with 3 months left and 2 months basically of lame duck time, they want to impeach him? It's a political stunt, nicely timed with the start of the DNC.
The butthurt are gonna butthurt.
The goopers are just so upset that they backed a criminal and that others noticed this.
