Considering that Mitch is still in office, that fucker won't let anything go.

Isn't Mitch McConnell a senator? And isn't it the House that formally starts the process of impeachment? And aren't the Democrats poised to win the House? And given that they need a majority from the House to actually pass articles of impeachment, isn't Mitch therefore irrelevant in this case?

Seriously?

You obviously just got to this planet.

You might want to google "rioting" over the last couple years. Those groups instigating it are not what you call conservatives.

No, its not.
Who told you this nonsense, and why did you buy it?

Pointing to a tiny minority of people out of millions is stupid, And yes rightwingers and cops have instigated violence, And have committed more violence than the left. That's a fact!

For what? Biden has committed no impeachable offence, because he's not president.

And even if the Hunter Biden stuff were true, nothing illegal has been shown to have been committed.

Again, another nail in the coffin for the assertion that olb is not a Trump brownshirt.

Yeah, I'm just gonna leave this here:

Donald Trump's history of inciting violence through his words and tweets.

And, note: I cannot find any instances of Democratic politicians explicitly doing anything similar to Trump when it comes to inciting riots. Peaceful protests against these underlying issues that they've been trying to help for years, that's pretty keenly encouraged, but full-on rioting? 



I understand that maybe on some level, large-scale protests turning violent may be inevitable, but if you can actually find examples of Democrats in any real position of political power (and this part is key so you don't conflate extremists who just seem to exist on YouTube or as talking heads on news channels with people with the power to actually encourage this shit) encouraging protesters to go into full-on riot mode, that'd be great, Biker.

Given that he claimed that the Republicans don't even need a reason to have Biden impeached (and this is extremely spurious,) This could just be his concession to actually applying his "both parties are scumbags" rhetoric to the other side he doesn't normally criticise. And because his ideological sympathies (which I should point out exist independently of party politics) tend to lean more towards the right anyway (his being pro-choice, his lip service support for equality, and the fact that he claims to have voted for exactly one Republican candidate in his life aside), he bollixed it up.

So partisanship still rules the roost.....


...

Big surprise.

No, it isn’t partisanship until Biden has done something that warrants impeachment, or even an impeachment investigation.

The majority party in the House gets to chair all committees and to have a majority membership on those committees (the Constitution allows them to do that). So, any talk about Republicans ‘filing articles of impeachment’ while they’re the minority party is just low-information blathering.

True

Rev - I never said Trump wasn't a cunt. Ditto his loyalists.

Play either/or with somebody else. It doesn't work with me.

Just don't tell me putting a ( D ) after your name makes you a good guy.

IDK buddy, cops do tend to be conservatives.
