Ya and the difference is with Rs there's actual corruption. And with Ds its rumors Obama was born in Kenya. It's a joke.

Me and 2 buddies texting about this. One a big republican. The republican says the above about the hearings.

So if you want to know how a 34 year old with a MBA from the 35th best school in the country feels about these things....

He also told me prior to 2016 that he wasn't voting for trump but then did.

Can't the GOP call in Hunter Biden if they wanted to?

[Lee3691]

I wouldn't say there is no corruption among Democrats. That's naive. But the GOP seems like they want to go the way of the Whig party with their extreme corruption and their leaders.

[Rodey]

Hunter Biden has nothing to do with any of this. It's not illegal for him to be sitting on the board of a company. Is it a conflict of interest? Yes. But it's not illegal.

And we've had countless witnesses testify that Joe Biden was carrying out US policy.

[Rodey]

This GOP counsel is so lost.

good friend of mine told me he wasn't voting at all, then of course, voted for trump.

Wait, I thought it was supposed to be boring, not entertaining.

I kinda disagree. It should carry some weight. This is pretty big news. They can't skip over it.

Well, it's a "maybe" conflict of interest. It appears to be one, but that doesn't mean it is.

You should reply telling them that you are not aware that giving back money we held hostage for decades required an investigation.

No offense to you, but your friend doesn't sound incredibly smart. And not all b-school grads are the sharpest folks...

They don't care about precedent, because their actions are to preserve their power indefinitely. There's no consequences so long as they have majority control.

The modern GOP is on par with the most corrupt government forces from any of the infamous periods of political corruption in US history.

Can't disagree with this but it's awfully shortsighted, they can't honestly believe they will always be in power, right?

That was pre-Trump. I don't think Dem voters will be as virtuous in the future. It's mosty the actual politicians to worry about. When they get power they will use it however they see fit now that they have a license to.

WH finally has Trump on a leash, reading from handwritten notes instead of off the dome like ususal.

This is WAY worse than actually wanting the investigation to happen.

[TheLastStop123]

oh man, GOP counsel just walked into a big oops there with that line of questioning

[MDPrompter]

"I don't think endless political investigations from either side is in the average americans best interest. Did the Benghazi hearings help anybody? Probably not. Do I think it was handled in a scummy manner by the state department. A bit. But it didn't do anybody any good. "

"That's right. One side has a thumb on the scale the side with 90% negative media coverage of their opponents backing them and constantly getting stories wrong while covering for pedophiles. "

"Literally none of this is new. I've heard the same BS just more of it since the early 90s. "

Welp.

I wonder if he learned to tear them up into tiny pieces like Trump.

Official WH Twitter account using Trump nickname for Schiff.

@WhiteHouse
Shifty Schiff thinks he hasn’t gotten enough camera time. So during a brief break, he’s doing a press conference.

New hoax. Same swamp.
