Corruption? I wouldn’t be very much surprised, simply because rich people in positions of power are like that.

The part about the informant reminded me of another informant that swore up and down that Saddam Hussein had huge stockpiles of “weapons of mass destruction” -remember that? There weren’t any.

By a trick of memory, I am also reminded of the previous Gulf war, and the harrowing testimony before Congress of a 15 year old girl about witnessing Iraqi soldiers emptying and taking incubators from a Kuwaiti hospital and leaving Kuwaiti babies to die on the cold hard floor. This also turned out to be a completely fictional story, told by (it was later revealed) the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador, that had been coached by a public relations firm called Hill & Knowlton, that was at the time contracted by the Kuwaiti government.

So I guess you can’t always trust informants or evidence produced by republican activity.

      Impeachment is a political process. So yes it’s always political theater. It has more substance than the Trump impeachments. Biden has some answer to give for his behavior

        Im sorry I must have missed some big news because I don’t recall Biden inciting an insurrection.

        Can you bring me up to speed on this with some reputable sources?

          I don’t recall Trump inciting one either but I never claimed Biden did.

          Biden is being impeached for corruption. Hunters laptop exposed just how corrupt Joe is.

            If you haven’t noticed the trend I will spell it out for you.

            The “evidence” on the laptop never existed.

            Just like the WMDs and the Iraqi’s stealing incubators in Kuwait it is a lie.

            One you ate up with no evidence because it lets you believe “the other team” are every bit as corrupt as your own “team” clearly is.

              The evidence has been validated.

              You have a cite that it’s false? It’s dkim signed.

              You’re the first person I’ve heard claim it’s false.

                It’s quite the bubble you live in if this is the first time you’ve heard it.

                As I said there is a clear pattern of behaviour and there is zero reason to expect differently this time.

                Oh and a neat factor may be that Im a cyber security expert, and I can tell you that laptop is worse than worthless.

                For 7 years Republicans have been screeching about Hunter and… nothing.

                Meanwhile Trumps maga insurrectionists are all going to jail.

                  Once again did you have a cite? Or are you going to keep lying? The laptop has confirmed to be true.

                  And no you’re not a cybersecurity expert. lol. Jesus.
