We have 99 problems, but an impeachment ain't one.
Housing costs, food costs, education, funding the government, confronting climate change, the war in Europe, and the threat of right-wing terrorism.
These motherfuckers are wasting money and more importantly time to give Trump and his cult a hand job.
#VOTE OUT REPUBLICANS
This is all true. But Kevin can lose his position because of these crazy Republicans.
Republicans want to have Biden be a criminal so so bad that this all they think about. But there is no evidence of this and that is a problem for them.
Stop voting for Republicans, they don't believe in our democracy.
But there is no evidence of this and that is a problem for them.
Well, not really for that last part. They'll be able to use this as a headline for their mouthbreathing base - "Biden getting investigated" - and of course we can count on the far right media to tell that to the base, as well as the "liberal media" doing the both sides thing again.
There are still so many idiots that are mad at Hillary + Benghaaaaaaazzzzzi over....something. And all because of the exact same ploy.
Rather than wasting time with the impeachment, I'd love to see waste time and kick out McCarthy from the speaker position. Then they can spend another 15 voting periods not electing anyone else to the position, until finally settling on McCarthy again.
This has the same aims as their bullshit Benghazzzzziiiiiiii "investigations" - it is meant to drive down Biden's numbers in advance of an election.
We can count on the bothsiderist "liberal media" to horse race this again, too.
Yup, CNN and NYT etc are salivating.
Good luck, Captain Dipshit. You've spent years, and millions of tax dollars failing to find dirt on him, and you're going ahead with it anyway. And you wonder why the majority of this country find you to be less than intelligent.
It's par for the course after investigating the Clintons for nearly 30yrs and only coming up with Billy cheating on his wife. Bidens the new Clinton's as far as Republicans are concerned.
We all knew he was a cheater.
We didn't know he sexually penetrated a (willing and self-motivated tbf) White House employee with a cigar in the Oval Office and had her fellate him while he was on the phone with a Member of Congress.
It was incredibly tawdry and done while working, at his workplace. So as the people reviewing his job performance, Congress had a right to look into it. At the time I certainly expected him to resign.
Idiots, the lot of them.
There is no such thing as a reasonable republican anymore. And frankly, it's debatable if any of them ever even made it through the Reagan era.
Republicans are utterly useless. What's he being investigated for? "huuurrr we dunno... stuff!" Great job, Kevin.
I like to imagine a future where Biden's impeachment leads to President John Fetterman and VP AOC.
I think we all understand this for the empty nothing-burger it is. That said: Hunter Biden testifying before congress would be hilarious! At least a month of Republicans complaining about how Hunter is rich, attractive, has a huge shlong, does drugs, gets any job he wants, and has women lined up to bang him on-demand.
Comer: "Mr. Biden, be honest, would you say your penis is of average length and girth?"
Hunter unzips his fly and allows his schlong to fall on the table with an audible and heavy thump, drawing gasps and a softly said "Holy shit." from Nancy Mace, who stares at it as she attempts to compose herself and hide her blushing face
"Please note, Hunter Biden's penis has been entered into the record."
What hasn’t Hunter Biden‘s penis been entered into?
(rimshot!)
/wait, phrasing!
I bet anything MGT has an interest in him...
From under the shadows of the rafters comes a softly spoken "My precious. Is it huge? Is it tender? We wants it!" as large yellow watery eyes scan the proceedings locking on the massive member laying on the table
precious
I could totally see Empty G as a size queen.
Evidently, these gomers seem to think sharing dick pics of Hunter is somehow evidence of....something? All it tells me is that they've been obsessing over his dong. And Marj felt it necessary to put it up on a projector.
Everything they do/say - PROJECTION. In this case, literally.

Facking spineless weasel.
What an incredible dumbass.
Such a waste of time and money....
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption and warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives,” McCarthy told reporters Tuesday morning.
“That’s why today I am directing our House committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.”
McCarthy spoke for three minutes, did not take any questions and left the lectern shortly after making his remarks.
The House faces a critical Sept. 30 deadline to fund the government and avoid a shutdown.
McCarthy has been trying to hang on to support for a funding bill from far-right GOP lawmakers, who have been pushing to impeach Biden.
Republican leaders had been weighing whether to use an impeachment inquiry vote as a bargaining chip in the funding negotiations.
The original article contains 223 words, the summary contains 122 words. Saved 45%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
His whole affect was different talking about this thing.
It is such complete bullshit that he can't even manage a tone of voice that sounds like he believes it.
