An inquiry is a smarter move than trying a real impeachment which could end when the Senate votes against it, this way they can just slowly release info about Biden and use it to try to change the narrative of who the corrupt one is.

It is also super unpopular. Trump’s first impeachment led to his highest approval ratings. Independents hate political party warfare. He’s playing the the Trump wing of the party which has a clear ceiling.

Wouldn't the smart move be to go after Biden on Ukraine? Like say that his "corruption" was the only reason the US is providing aid? It's been his one unanimous success so far. So why not try to take that away while also preparing the country for switching to Russia's side after Trump wins?

It's all bullshit anyway, so might as well.

So um, no one is talking about this news and now pedo Gaetz is looking to oust McCarthy anyway. It is so dumb, McCarthy would rather work with the Freedom Caucus over moderate Dems. Like when you have a House this evenly split, you reach across the aisle, not dig into the furthest reaches of your own. Like this should be a BiPartisan golden age. You have a split government, a president who’s strength is working across the aisle (which he has already done numerous times), and an electorate that while not as vocal as its fringe minorities, favors cooperation. Yet he chooses to ratchet up partisan politics. Dude will go down as one of the worst Speakers in history

A good list of their claims https://oversight.house.gov/blog/eviden ... influence-

It seems like Biden had a lot of dinners with Hunter’s “business associates” or they visited White House. There is some emails that don’t sound too good like saying H holds 10% for the big guy, unlike pops I won’t give you half my salary and don’t mention Joe is involved unless face to face. He threatened to withhold aid from Ukraine unless they fired the guy investigating Hunter but I’m not sure you can go anywhere with that legally since you could claim it was for other reasons. I’m guessing the Robert L Peters/JB Ware pseudonym thing is a red herring.

This isn’t hard enough evidence to remove him but is it enough for an “inquiry” and further investigation, why not. If they have evidence Biden family members were making millions from foeigners, what would they be getting out of it if Joe wasn’t involved?

Republicans are setting expectations for both Biden and Kamala too low. Biden will be more active campaigning and reaching wide audiences next year & Repubs are going to have an issue when viewers don't see a senile and incoherent shell of a person.

Trump is currently teeing up Biden. When this UAW strike is resolved and Biden is the hero behind it, then expect him to lock up the old blue wall.

Lol voters very likely might re-elect Joe but it won’t be because they don’t see him as a “senile incoherent shell of a person. He indisputably is that. The only reason he wins is if they still prefer him over whoever the Republican is.

Fixed that for ya

This number seems insane to me, is it so hard to understand the drawbacks?

Interesting…

It does seem high, but considering two things I think it's not that insane; it's California, without a wage like that as single person household how do you really afford yourself your basic needs there, and it only applies to chains with at least 60 locations in the state, so big corporations that should for a long time have needed to give back more to the workforce that has allowed them to become so big in the first place.

Making 15 dollars an hour and paying rent by living in an ugly part of town and having a roommate isn’t nice, but it’s better than making 0 cause the Burger King location they would’ve worked at shut down due to being less profitable with those restrictions. Also since this is fast food, people being replaced by automation is always in play. Also if we’re empathetic to people who can barely pay rent in Cali, some of that is also the people buying fast food where the prices will likely go up now

What are everyone’s thoughts on the current GOP civil war. I am happy that McCarthy is finally sticking up to that pedophile Matt Gaetz.

I don’t understand the Freedom caucus’ hatred of McCarthy. He’s much more conservative than Ryan or Boehner.

That’s because the Freedom Caucus is not conservative. They are pure partisanship without an agenda in service of a populist.

I can’t believe they actually fired Kevin McCarthy.

Same. I honestly thought the DEMs would come to his rescue for major concessions. But perhaps chaos is the better answer? I expect a moderate Republican to take the house now with Democrat support. But who in the House would that be? All the big name mods are in the Senate.

What does crooked Hillary mean by "formal deprogramming" of Trump supporters? Gas chambers formal, concentration camps formal, something less formal?

Re-education camp though if they went through with it they would probably come up with some softer/less historically loaded language to describe it.

Like there is a cult in this country of the brainwashed, but I find the more you try and address you unnaturally in a liberal society, the worse it gets. Don’t feed the troll is always the best medicine to fight these people.

Of course there is the argument that the Right is already “re-educating” people, but they smartly call it talk radio and alternative news.
