During the first hearing of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene was interrupted for a specific request – to not show pornography.

Ms Greene said at the House Oversight Committee hearing, “It is sad that my Democratic colleagues pretend to care about women’s rights while allowing Hunter Biden to exploit women.” She was holding up a blown-up photo of a plane ticket and a photo of a nearly-naked woman for whom Hunter Biden allegedly purchased the ticket.

    So, do they have any proof that Joe Biden has done anything or are they just pretending that Joe and Hunter are the same person?

      They intentionally keep saying “Biden”, talking about Hunter but with the intent that people will take it as Joe. They got called out for it but like that would stop them.

      They basically don’t have proof of anything. They are just doing political theater to distract from the issues they are causing.

      Like the shutdown…

      It’s especially rich coming from the side that’s so horribly overtly corrupt and well known for cronyism and nepotism.

          Well, that’s the biggest reason they’re doing this. If they can get Democrats to yell “this impeachment is bullshit” they don’t even have to erase the extra word. Their supporters who desperately want to rationalize their support for their orange idol will do it for them.

      No. Yes.

      WASHINGTON — The House Oversight Committee on Thursday convened its first hearing in the GOP’s impeachment inquiry, presenting a panel of Republican-picked witnesses who said while there is no evidence of a crime by President Joe Biden, more bank records are needed from him and his son Hunter Biden to determine if there might be.

      The point is to discredit the whole impeachment process. “Oh, the other side always tries to impeach. It’s just political theater.” In order to minimize the fact that Trump was impeached for actual crimes.

      They don’t intend to be successful, they intend to give people an excuse to say “BoTh SiDeS!” The next time a republican is in office and gets impeached for actual crimes.

      It’s this. They want to impeach Hunter and are using this as a farce to do so, but… Hunter isn’t the president, so…

      They spent +8 years claiming Barack Obama was born in Kenya, which was true, he was born in Kenya and his son went on to become president.
