None of this BS is going to change anyone’s mind. MAGATs will vote for Trump no mater what. Decent people will vote against him no matter what. This is nothing more than poorly executed revenge because Trump was rightly impeached twice. ---

If there’s anything I’ve learned from following this forum ever since the Orange Jesus 2.0 came down the escalator, it’s that the 15 - 20% of the population (on both sides’ far ends) aren’t the important ones. It’s the 60 - 70% in that larger “middle” that hopefully with “all this BS” we can convince more of the Good Guys™ to come out and vote in November, and more of the Bad Guys™ to stay home. ---

> [@Sam\_Stone](#): > > I find the most common reference to him in that document is V. P. Note the spaces. And there’s no evidence of any wrongdoing or even any lies by Joe Biden in that transcript. I went through the whole thing. The “worst” was that Hunter seemed to try to get Joe to show up to a business meeting, and Joe left immediately without taking part. That’s not evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden. Not a shred. ---

We should start an inquiry into him because that is “evidence” he did something wrong. He probably talked to his children at some point as well. ---

> **[GOP Misleading Claims in Biden Impeachment Investigation - FactCheck.org](https://www.factcheck.org/2023/12/gop-misleading-claims-in-biden-impeachment-investigation/)** > > House Republicans passed a resolution on Dec. 13 to formalize their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. In attempts to build momentum for the vote, Republicans continued to present misleadingly incomplete information in service of the claim... _So far, Republicans haven’t been able to establish that Biden was involved in his family’s business dealings, that the president directly benefited from those deals or that he ever used his position as vice president to assist the companies._ Overall, the article goes into great depth, debunking each and every charge. ---

It truly doesn’t matter how much shady conduct Republicans confess to while accusing Democrats (or their children!) of…something. It doesn’t matter. Prospective voters against shady Republicans will never ever learn that they are shady. The news business is fully stove-piped.

It goes right along with Gingrich throwing shade on Bill Clinton while Newt G was banging his mistress in secret. GOP Hypocrites, the lot of them. ---

Ah, but Newt was doing this back when Republicans had shame, and when some of their voters paid attention to media outlets to the left of Fox News. And of course, after reailzing their error, they replaced him with the upstanding, law-abiding Dennis Hastert. (Wait, what?) ---

He owns a shell company with a campaign donor who was convicted of using his political office personal gain. Nothing shady about that. ---

Right now, literally today, Trump is giving tickets to an “intimate cocktail reception” to people who buy 100 of his digital trading cards with crypto on his website that is also explicitly encouraging “foreign investors” to participate.
