    What is their obsession with this dude?

    According to the Fox report, House Ways and Means Committee chair Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) says Biden “mischaracterized” his role working for his own firm, Rosemont Seneca. Biden said that he didn’t “control” the bank accounts for the company and they were not “affiliated with him.”

    Really? ? Wake me up when republican’s find evidence. Otherwise, this is just the same circus with the same clowns.

        Yep. Also, Trump is constantly in the news for being on trial, they need something to create whataboutisms about Biden. It’s just Buttery Mails 2.0.

          Donald both had massive payments from foreign countries and stole boxes of classified documents. Donald alone is more corrupt and criminal than whatever the fuck they are alleging for all of the Bidens and all of the Clintons put together.

      6 years, god knows how much money spent, and the person they leaned on for all of this has been indicted for lying about it. All in the vague hope that if they turn over enough normal rocks something will appear that cable news and AM radio can use to link Joe Biden to corruption involving Ukraine - at least enough to convince the public without any burden of proof or indictments. They aired a recording of a concerned father leaving a voicemail for his son, have proven that Hunter Biden suffers from addiction and has all but completely lost control of his life, and they made sure to show pictures of his penis around Congress because that’s pretty essential to proving his father is corrupt apparently.

      As absurd as all of that is, it’s kind of amazing the GOP have enjoyed so much success with this strategy. Amazing in a gross, sigh-inducing way that makes me fear for my country. But amazing nonetheless.

      They saw his PP. Now all the Christian Republicans want to picture Hunter in leather bondage gear and handcuffs

        Maybe next time he is brought before the house, and they show his pix again, he should just ask if they want a live view as he starts stripping. I mean, they want to see him naked soooo bad

    If Democrats weren’t cowards that would have the Senate fire up a RICO investigation regarding the conspiracy to show revenge porn on the house floor and indict all of the sitting Republican house members.

    … does this work with the Republican base?

    is there a Republican base anymore?

    Is it a MAGA base now?

    I’m confused about who’s who.

    You all remember that post on thought-terminating cliches? “Hunter Biden’s laptop,” is one for the rightist culties.

    If you ever feel useless, remember that there are Republicans beating dead horses like this and the supposed impeachment of Joe Biden.

    If I weren’t about to be the victim of American foreign policy regardless of who wins the election I would find it hilarious that the American system is so dysfunctional that half of Americans will make excuses for the fact the presidents failson filmed himself smoking crack with hookers and recklessly driving with guns because the alternative is they think their rigged elections will select Hitler.

      This circus has been going on for 6 years and what have the GOP proven? That the president has a son suffering from addiction and has lost control of his life? That’s why these endless investigations keep happening and they paraded images of his dick around Congress?

      Give me a break. This whole Hunter Biden charade has been a complete waste of time and a pathetic attempt to try to link Joe Biden to…waves vaguely. FFS the guy who apparently “blew the whistle“ on Hunter Biden and all of this “corruption“ has been indicted for lying about it! He made it up lmfao.

        The circus of American politics has been going on for 250 years since you genocided the people who lived there first and set up your entire perpetually corrupt oligarchy. All American politicians are majorly corrupt not sure why you would put that in scare quotes. You live in a military empire that maintains order with nuclear violence.

          What amazing country do you hail from that has never done anything bad? By the way, yes, America has a terrible, bloody history. I’m not sure why you’re implying I don’t acknowledge that. What does any of this have to do with Hunter Biden and the GOP’s sad attempts to use him as a cudgel against his father?
