If you didn't watch the whistleblowers testimony you'll stick your head in the sand here too. Remind me again what Hunter and the rest of the family was selling? You guys said Trump got $5 million from rental property. What was the Biden family offering for $30,000,000.00 ???? Access to Kamala Harris's underwear drawer? I mean for that kind of coin the trade must be serious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We all know what Hunter was offering, but he's a private citizen no-one can stop him from doing that. But we also said the Trump family of senior government officials got over $2,000,000,000.00. What do you think they sold? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,590 #103 September 30, 2023 Heather Cox Richardson's narrative of the GOP's impeachment hearing is hilarious! https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-29-2023 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,523 #104 September 30, 2023 Apparently, the hearing Slim watched was not the same one everyone else did. A couple 'whistleblower' witnesses said flat out that there's not evidence to impeach. Or, the Rs just lied. I'm reminded of the old joke: A witness in court is sworn in. When asked to 'tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth', he points at the prosecutor and the defense attorney and says "I will if they will". Quote Most notably, the Democrats called out the places where witnesses or committee members had deleted words in quotations that changed their meanings. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) emphasized that the four Republican witnesses said they had not presented any first-hand witness accounts of crimes committed by President Biden, while the committee was blocking the testimony of witnesses who could testify to actual facts. She also noted that members of Congress could say anything they wanted because they are covered by the Constitution’s Speech and Debate clause protecting them, And, despite their absolute fervor to nail ANYONE named "Biden" for ANYTHING... They aren't willing to step on up and insist on 'equal treatment under the law'... If it includes Trump. Quote Representative Greg Cesar (D-TX) asked the members of the Oversight Committee to raise their hands if they believe that both Hunter and Trump should be held accountable if they are found guilty on any of their indictments. The Democrats all raised their hands. The Republicans did not.
