Either Biden and his son will be cleared or they won't. Otherwise, the rumor will hang over Biden Sr. if he gets the nomination.

How long was Hillary under investigation for Benghazi? They found nothing. They continued to act as though she were guilty. Plus they’ll keep the investigation open so he’ll be under investigation. Expect nothing but the worst from them.

As long as opinion carries the same weight as fact there is no reason or logic to the outcome. People believe what they want to believe because someone like Limbaugh lied about it but since that’s what they want, we’ll that’s what they believe.

Then while we’re busy scrambling to fact check them they’ve moved on to the next lying ‘opinion’, completely uninterested in our facts.

5. Cleared by the DOJ? Senate? Doubtful. There's nothing to "hang" over Biden, Sr. What he used was

legal quid pro quo. Hunter left Burisma two weeks before dad announced his candidacy.

Trump used illegal quid pro quo, called bribery. He's gotten his kids' millions during his presidency-candidacy since his inauguration day.


There's no trusting trumpists to suddenly honor rule of law or evidence. They love loyalty and rule of men rumor. And don't forget Barr's report coverup and then his runs to allies nations to get or "buy" their "intelligence."

Based on past performance, you can expect Repubs to fabricate evidence or suborn perjurers.

Do they "have a point"? No. They never have a point.

Is the strategy to just wear us all down to not giving a rat's ass anymore. I'm exhausted. Thing is: HOW MUCH MORE CAN WE STAND?

16. What has come out into the open

is the prerequisites for joining the Repugnant Party:

1. Be in it for yourself, gather money where you can, by any means possible.
2. Have zero concern for your fellow citizens. A healthy and self proclaimed arrogance regarding your superiority is essential.
3. Pretend the Constitution, laws and ethical standards of behavior are optional extras, to be ignored when they prove to be inconvenient.
4. Have a go at the other party, whenever possible, and as hard as you can, as to distract and diffuse any criticisms of your own behavior.

As an Australian, I have learnt a lot about the American political system. And I don't like what I see.

until we get the answer WE WANT!

(How did that work out with the investigations into Hillary's business?)

Of course, it's meant to harass and bully. And distract. And annoy the Bidens. To the point where Mr Biden senior gets on stage to debate, and looks confused while unable to string words together into an intelligent sentence.

Perhaps Dems should remind the population of all the things they are interested in? Wall not built, invisible tax returns, etc, it's a long list!
And throw in some non-fact accusations, like that Sex Slave ring in the White House basement!

..... reminds me of the history of the 50's......


That backfired when they investigated Hollywood!


BIDENS are NOT on Government payroll!

So if they investigate and find that they jaywalk across the street to check their mail.....what can they possibly do to them......NOTHING

17. Graham now needs to be compelled under oath in both houses of Congress
Sat Nov 23, 2019, 07:51 AM
Nov 2019

To testify what evidence he now has to start a Biden investigation with after numerous people under oath have said they were not corrupt pr committed any crimes. Then ask him his sources, were they first hand or just hearsay, then asked if trump or anyone for trump was behind this abusing his powers again for political reasons, and if he lies send him to prison for it. They should also ask him if he has any ties to russia, putin , or money given to him or his campaign that was funneled through others to hide it with. Then did he have any knowledge of this being done for others knowing putin was behind it. Nunes also needs to be put under oath and asked many questions regarding him and the russian mobsters working for trump, ghouliani, and putin, and is Graham had any interactions or connections with these guys , and all under oath.
