Biden Mocks House Republicans Over Impeachment Inquiry: ‘Lots of Luck!’

78 comments

Lauren Boebert needed 4 tries to pass a GED. She's the perfect representation of the Republican party now.
- Did she actually?!
  
  Failed it three times, finally succeeded at the age of 34, just a few months before the election that put her in the House.
  She also married a (somewhat rich) sex offender. But has now divorced him in favor of a guy who was groping her in the theater she was kicked out of. She was also giving him a handy.
- Lol what a fucking idiot
- I was reading another thread and wondering who she was

Hilarious. You could do better than Biden, America, but I respect this reaction more than the incessant screaming of the toddler you had before.
- Biden was the concession. Few really wanted him. The rest just knew he was white and vanilla enough to alienate as few swing voters as possible.
  Anything to get trump out of office.
  
  And now we're gonna fuckin do it again.
- To be honest, neither Biden nor any other politician should receive praise or respect for behaving this way, for it is the bare minimum that's expected from them.
  We're just used to the craziness of the other side. Anyone behaving like the Republicans during the GW Bush era or earlier would have been ostracized from the political landscape.
  So, don't feel respect for the expected decency of a politician. Feel rage for the indecent one, and show it with your votes!
  
  I would, but I’m Canadian.
- You sure about that? Did you see the numbers in the last election?
  
  Yeah I’m pretty sure I respect a man that brushes off unfounded allegations more than one that cries like a toddler when caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
  Election numbers have no bearing on my respect for a person.
- he hugs too much 😂

Clearly Bidens son Hunter has issues and has done some clearly shady, if not outright illegal things, but this does not immediately make Biden complicit in his son's actions. Anyone who can read or has eyes will realize this all theater and will go nowhere just like the Clinton investigations.
- I think the entire point is to smokescreen and deligitimize Trump's legal situation by trying to show people "look, we're doing the same thing they are doing to us!" Doesn't matter if it's completely different, or if it even goes anywhere legally. A lot of people will either not take the time to follow both cases or they'll be disenfranchised enough to tune out altogether, which is exactly what they're hoping for.
  
  Look what they did to Hillary. They created so much smoke about Benghazi people still think there was a fire.
  Truly the fall of civilization is when a critical mass of people don't know how to think critically and believe only what the angry people tell them.
- ...which managed to peel just enough voters off to make donnie's bid for office in 2016 a possibility that actually happened.
- All of them. None went anywhere except the bj.
  
  Republicans just don't have a good track record when it comes to theaters.

I do love his approach but it would also be neat to see him talk the same shit trump did and blame the republikkkans for a witch hunt. Which is exactly what they are doing. I also really wish he would have the trump children investigated as thoroughly as his son and Hillary have been.
- I feel that would validate the republican clown show too much.
  
  Yep. They go out of their way to make words lose meaning. Notice after Jan 6 they've been labeling anything dems do as an "insurrection." It's so their base sees anything horrendous that Republicans do as tit for tat, and the dumbass enlightened centrists can say "bOtH sIdEs" as they do.
  Saying "OK go for it you got nothing" is much better optically.
  
  Yes but also every accusation is a confession with them, they’re screaming about a laptop while handing out security clearances to their kids and quietly funneling Saudi money all over. Let’s look at that more publicly
- I've been saying that since W was in office. Dems failure to call out the republicans shenanigans is endlessly frustrating.
- Honestly he spends his time better than all of that.

I can only hope, by the time I'm 80, that I give as many negative fucks as Biden.

Impeachment is an empty threat at this point. He might not even show up if it goes to trial.

Special good luck to those Republican Reps who come from districts Biden won. You are those that will get attention.

I'm glad he responded to this. But I wish he would've hit harder. Shame doesn't work with the current GOP.
- I disagree. I think he's better off doing his job competently than engaging in GOP tabloid headline generators.
  
  That's also a fair point.

If the Republicans held Trump to the same standards as they're trying to hold Biden to, Donald would have been ousted from office and not cleared of two attempted impeachments.
Because on a scale of 1 to the Trump dynasty, Hunter's wrongdoing is about a 3.

"Good luck with that fellas, let me know how that goes for ya!"
