Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Despite Comer's criticism of Biden for loaning his brother $200,000 in 2018, The Daily Beast has since claimed the Republican committee chair engaged in a similar practice, swapping land with his brother related to their family farming business with one loan for $200,000 involving a shell company.

If Republicans didn't have double standards they'd have no standards at all.

And if they didn't have bad faith they'd have no faith either.

They’re just doing this to see dicks.

Hunter Biden has a hog leg, and the American people demand to know the length and girth of it. Plain and simple- GQP Shitbags apparently.

I'll admit, when I heard this, I went looking. The thing is legit impressive.

Then I felt like a complete piece of shit when I realized he didn't release those pics himself.

Marjorie Green has been scolded at least twice for holding up Hunter Biden dick pics during congressional sessions.

There are well sourced rumors that she and her ex husband are swingers. She was fucking a lot of people at her gym, to the degree that the employees were aware of it.

Im not suprised she is spending a lot time focused on his hog.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I don't have to look to know it.

Guys that are packing some action don't feel the need to say how big it is.

Imagine if a sitting US presidents daughter had pics leaked of full frontal closeups of her privates, and a sitting body of Congress decided to show them off as part of an investigation.

Disgusting; that leaked graphic cockpics and revenge porn are now part of US Congressional record. A new all time low.

Bruv, this is nothing. The fascists are just getting started. We’d better put them down.

"You see, John, there's an important difference here,. The Bidens are Democrats, and by definition, untrustworthy. They deserve to be jailed just for their political views, the subpoena thing is just a means to an end. Bannon, on the other hand, is a Republican, like me, so he deserves the benefit of the doubt."

This is the best summary I could come up with:


House Republican Greg Murphy was challenged on CNN after saying he would vote to hold Hunter and James Biden in contempt if they fail to turn up after being subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee, despite voting against holding Steve Bannon in contempt when he failed to testify before the January 6 committee.

This forms part of an ongoing impeachment investigation into Biden, who Republicans allege traded political favors for financial payments to members of his family.

Comer has claimed to have "mountains of evidence" against Biden, though Republicans faced mockery after it emerged the transfer of $200,000 from James to Joe Biden in 2018, which had been touted as a key piece of evidence, was in fact a loan repayment.

Berman then noted Murphy had voted against holding Bannon in contempt after he refused to testify before the January 6 committee in 2021, which led to the conviction of the former president's ex-chief White House strategist the following year.

In response, Murphy again accused Biden of influence peddling, before suggesting the difference Hunter and James have with Bannon is the latter isn't related to the former president, whereas the former are to the incumbent.

Despite Comer's criticism of Biden for loaning his brother $200,000 in 2018, The Daily Beast has since claimed the Republican committee chair engaged in a similar practice, swapping land with his brother related to their family farming business with one loan for $200,000 involving a shell company.
