GOP Frantically Moves Goalpost: "It Doesn't Matter if Joe Was Bribed!" - Pondering Politics



As their investigations continue to come up empty-handed, House Republicans are now saying it doesn't matter if they can't prove President Biden was bribed... he's guilty by virtue of Hunter's misdeeds.

he bought it from the blind computer repairman or something, then he and parnas held it for a year (or maybe loaded it up with fresh e mails and dick pics?)

i remain skeptical, but if the evidence is convincing (against the president. my onlyinterest in hunter is that he be treated fairly.) i'll support impeachment.

That Trump will be tried for his coup attempt is not a violation of his rights. It is a fulfillment of his rights. It is the grace of the American republic. In other systems, when your coup attempt fails, what follows is not a trial tidrich

5 million dollar bribe as vice president. None of it makes sense when you take it apart. And they are talking about 2017 and 2018 when Joe was not vice president, and nobody thought he would become president.

what makes these people such effective propagandists that 30% of americans would gladly allow a fat stupid "alpha male" to screw their wives and daughters?

trump is the only "alpha male" in the mammalian order who must pay for sex.

The spot stated, by way of explaining who Hunter Biden is, "Hunter Biden is the civilian son of Donald Trump." (about 48 seconds in) Good Lord! What a glaring error! Loss of credibility when you make them that big!

Unfortunately, he does seem to send out his videos without editing or having someone else listen to point out major mistakes like that one.

They know they only beat Hillary because of investigations, and they just can’t stop trying to do it again. As far as the Republicans are concerned slanderous investigations are more important than governing

First, they'd research your life and maybe find something to "investigate". You were active in the labor movement. You were a Communist in college 30 years ago. You attended marches for social justice.

OK, so now, you're in the crosshairs of Joe McCarthy, Roy Cohn (Trump's attorney), Robert Kennedy (yes, that one), and cowardly Republicans. You're ordered to appear before Congress where all implications (no proof/no evidence) showed you were a Communist and still are. You're an enemy of the State.

Next, your family was now ensnared as possible Communists. Your spouse, your children, your siblings, your parents. All without evidence. Because McCarthy & Co. "believed" you ALL were/are Communists. Your brother loses his job. Neighbors want you to move. Your kids are taunted at school. Your family hates you for putting them in this situation.

And that's what is going on with Hunter Biden. No proof, but hey! His father's the President, so OF COURSE he's equally liable. WITHOUT PROOF.

Here we go again . . . .
