Wait, what accused action? I thought they didn't even have an accused action.

Being the second shooter on the grassy knoll.

It was JFK himself with a time machine. Read all about it in my latest book, "The truth came out when I went off my meds"

He's finally going to get what's coming to him after his hand in the Jade Helm Massacre!

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 11 points 9 months ago

Let's not forget his involvement in the Bowling Green massacre. So many lives needlessly lost.

I don’t know about you all but I’m never voting for Hunter Biden.

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.one 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well, I've been voting for Hunter Biden for years now.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I haven't even voted for him once! We must keep Hunter Biden out of office!

He would also have to have actually done any of the accused actions.

[–] randon31415@lemmy.world 74 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Republicans: This guy is the oldest president in the history of the USA, what do you mean his son isn't pulling the strings? That is how it works with all elder politicians!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 54 points 9 months ago (24 children)

Honestly, it's kind of amazing that they have spent all this time investigating Biden and haven't found anything crooked. How is that even possible for a politician at his level?

To be impeached- wouldn’t one need to have done something worthy of impeachment?

Mullin is a piece of shit who couldn’t even handle himself with a bored union rep who was halfheartedly teasing him.

Did they just realize he wasn't a part of the government?

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 30 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Lol would be hilarious if this was referring to Hunter. "Oh wait, shit this guy's not in the government? Why the fuck have we been talking about him for the last 4 years?!"

The plan is to make it appear that he gets off on a technicality, rather than them having no case from the beginning.

that's embarrassing how does anyone vote for these people

I don’t think they actually need a valid reason for impeachment.

They could have impeached Obama for wearing his brown suit. Or Jaywalking when he went to the restaurant and put ketchup on his burger or whatever the heck that was about.

History

Launched in 1982, The Washington Times is a daily newspaper concentrating on politics and news. Based in Washington, D.C., The Washington Times was founded by a self-professed messiah, Korean Sun Myung Moon. According to its parent company, during Washington Times’ 20th anniversary, Moon said: “The Washington Times is responsible for letting the American people know about God” and “The Washington Times will become the instrument in spreading the truth about God to the world.”

And also, presumably, because there were no crimes.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 10 points 9 months ago

None that he committed, anyway.

What his adult kid may or may not have done isn't the legal (or even moral) responsibility of the parents.

Isn't this the clown who Bernie Sanders chastised for wanting to have a physical fight with someone who was testifying to a Congressional committee?

The Washington Times is a garbage conservative conspiracy generator. If we’re not linking to Newsmax or FoxNews, we shouldn’t be linking to it.

The best part is their Orange Leader is trying to get Courts (at the Supreme Court now) to rule that the President has some kind of ultimate immunity. This would of course put Presidents above the law and out of reach of even the Supreme Court. It would also of course make it so Biden could do whatever he wanted (not that he actually would) - negating their whole farce.

[–] Unaware7013@kbin.social 15 points 9 months ago

Its so stupid too, because that's literally against the written word of the constitution. The damned thing literally says that the president is still liable under the rule of law even after being impeached and removed from office. These chucklefucks don't give a single wet shit about the constitution, they're just hoping their base is stupid enough to go along with the subversion.

I'm pretty sure the stuff the Rs were actually going after Clinton over didn't happen in office either, Lewinsky just presented a big target they could attach it all to.

[–] Klypto@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

In my opinion it would be a disaster if you could receive compensation for future policy input, act on that input in office, and be immune simply because you were not in office when you received it.

Just prove he did or did not do it instead of whatever this nonsense take is.
