Orange calls to extort foreign nation in exchange for election dirt on opponent: Republicans - “We don’t see noting but a perfect phone call”
Joe Biden breaths: Republicans - “ImPEeEEeeEEEECh!!!”
Right wing people in general have lower cognitive scores, manifesting in a direct misunderstanding of how government processes work. They think you can impeach based off of feelings instead of facts. They also think impeachment means the immediate removal of a sitting president.
Wasting taxpayer money on a pointless revenge plot. Typical wasteful conservative nonsense.
Well the US really is on a death spiral.
Your country is fucked. Even Brazil handled their corruption better.
Most are still so firmly rooted in a state of denial there will be 2 new senators soon.
Yup. Try not to be around when we spiral into the fucking ground. Shit’s gonna get very, very real, very, very quickly 😞 get as far away as you can

Now all they need is a piece of actual evidence. So far they came up empty-handed.

The US has been running a trade deficit for five decades
This is not a bad thing. It means we are wealthy enough to import more than we export, which is the ideal for a mature, modern economy.
Also
a 12 percent homeless rate
This is just completely false. Homeless rate is 18/10,000 - closer to 0.2% than 12%
It seems you got this number from here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/abc7chicago.com/amp/united-states-homeless-rates-2023-numbers-soaring-rents/14188561/
This is discussing a rate of increase, not the actual homeless rate.
I agree that there are far better things for Congress to focus on, but we need to live in reality too
Cool! Remind me though; what crime did he commit?
That one crime, you know which one. Don’t make me spell it out for you.

Impeach deez nuts

Friendly reminder that about half of eligible voters actually vote in presidential elections; less than half in midterm elections. People love to bitch and moan about our government, when half of them don’t bother to do anything about it.
That last bit was less friendly but I’m very upset about this.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
House Republicans voted Wednesday to formalize an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden as their investigation reaches a critical juncture and right-wing pressure grows.
The argument from Republican proponents of the effort, according to multiple GOP lawmakers and aides, is that a floor vote will strengthen their legal standing against the White House and fortify their subpoenas to secure key witness testimony.
Potentially bolstering the GOP inquiry: Last week’s tax indictment against Hunter Biden, which overlapped with many of the alleged financial imports and overseas business deals that Republicans have intensely scrutinized with their own probes.
Since McCarthy launched the inquiry in September, the trio of committees leading the investigation have interviewed various officials from the Justice Department and Internal Revenue Service while also obtaining a mountain of documents and new bank records, including from Biden family members.
Even as Republicans issue new subpoenas and schedule more depositions, including with the president’s brother and son, they still have not uncovered credible evidence that backs up their loftiest claims against Biden.
There has only been one hearing related to the inquiry since its launch, where the expert witnesses called by Republicans acknowledged GOP investigators hadn’t yet presented enough evidence to prove the accusations they were leveling.
The original article contains 1,095 words, the summary contains 202 words. Saved 82%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

We have to have some form of recourse for this wasteful bullshit.
That would be voting but unfortunately the republican base doesn’t read big words or lacks reading comprehension skills so this will continue.
I guess nobody planned for a population that can’t think. “What if future leaders defund education to a point the populace is vulnerable? What if we extend this two or three more generations and the leaders themselves are vulnerable to foreign propaganda?”
The founding fathers never conceived the complete lack of morals and character from a majority of the leaders of our country. I’m pretty sure they planned on a revolution long before we got to this point.
Joe Biden should declare Jonson’s Speakership as a donation to his reelection campaign. Two shutdown fights and a nakedly frivolous impeachment, and that’s just January and February of the election year.
I kind of want them to pass a law that gives all the oversight powers of an impeachment to Congress at all times. I like the idea of Congress having more power, but it’s embarrassing to have to open fake impeachment inquiries to get full access to that power.
