The blatant involvement and
cover up by the DOJ, FBI, and
the Bidens themselves is
shameful . Fortunately neither
Joe nor Hunter are very smart:
Joe bragged about withholding
$1 Billion of taxpayer money
from Burisma till they fired
Shokin, Hunter photographed
himself in his drunken
debauchery and posted it on
the internet, then left the
evidence with a random
computer serviceman who-
thank goodness- did the right
thing. That the Dems are saying
“there’s nothing there” with
the PLETHORA of evidence (170
SARS.20 LLCs, Hunter’s
partner’s testimony that they
were selling ACCESS to Joe- so
if Joe just “discussed the
weather” with Hunter’s
partners, he fulfilled his part of
the deal- but we know he's done
much more.; Millions of dollar$
and counting from foreign
governments, Joe’s 5,600 emails
from Joe which discussed
government business and on
which Hunter was cc’ed
(why?) :14 trips on Air Force 2
that Hunter accompanied Joe to
countries (Not our friends)
where -Surpsrise!- Hunter
ended up making lucrative
business deals., despite his not
having hany knowledge of or
experience in what the
company was doing…They are
the most corrupt
administration in the last 75
years…COMPARE AND
CONTRAST: The Democrats
impeached Trump based on the
Steele Dossier which Hillary
bought and paid for to use as a
distraction from her disastrous
Benghazi debacle when she ran
against him and which EVERY
DEMOCRAT HAD to know was
fake (she shared campaign
offices with the DNC!) and then
the impeached Trump for
making a phone call to Zelesnky
to ask about Hunter’s dealing
sin Ukraine- Seems to me
Trump was prescient as he
figured out there was
wrongdoing going on there
almost three years before the
NY Times and CNN had a
whiff…. put the evidence on the
scales and The BIdens side of
corruption hangs Very low.
This isn’t tit for tat (which the
Dems will scream next- this is
the House doing their job to
eject a senile, corrupt
President…
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico:
Seems fishy to me. Hunter, he created 20 shell companies. Money was being sent by China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania to the shell companies Some managed by a certain Eric Schwerin , who has not yet given testimony to House Committee. The shell companies then wired that cash to the Biden family members listed below
1. Hunter Biden
2. James Biden
3. Sara Biden
4. Hallie Biden
5. Kathleen Biden
6. Melissa Biden
7. Niece/nephew
8. Niece/nephew
9. Grandchild

Money laundering, tax evasion and Acting as a foreign agent despite not being registered. ( Manafort was jailed for this, Flynn son was to be charged under FARA unless Flynn pled guilty to lying to FBI.
Hunter has not been charged for that.
A wait and see moment.

As for the gun, the girl he was banging named Hallie Biden happened to be his late brother's wife. She threw away the Colt .38 into a dumpster. Reason She was afraid he would hurt her or himself.
Hunter was a very careful gun handler. you see.

Another way, if they can convict him, they will also convict Trump.

If the impeachment inquiry takes off, all these democrat crooked shenanigans will be blown wide open.

After the impeachment inquiry was announced, the White House sent a letter to media telling them to plot the literal death of republicans.
The WH knows that simpletons of Nairaland will regurgitate what the evil media will report.


(Via CNN) – The White House
sent a letter to top US news
executives on Wednesday,
urging them to intensify their
scrutiny of House
Republicans after Speaker
Kevin McCarthy launched an
impeachment inquiry into
President Joe Biden, despite
having found no evidence of a
crime.
“It’s time for the media to
ramp up its scrutiny of House
Republicans for opening an
impeachment inquiry based
on lies,” Ian Sams, a
spokesperson for the White
House Counsel’s Office, wrote
in the letter, which was first
obtained by CNN.
The letter, which said an
impeachment inquiry with no
supporting evidence should
“set off alarm bells for news
organizations,” was sent to
executives helming the
nation’s largest news
organizations, including CNN,
The New York Times, Fox
News, the Associated Press,
CBS News, and others, a
White House official familiar
with the matter said. (more)




That letter is proof that the
“media” is not longer “the
press” but part of the “cover-
up” of a crime and therefore,
ABC through PBS should be
interviewed by Congress under
oath for why they have covered
up the bribery and corruption
of the Democratic
administrations

Why Democrats might be in trouble.

One.
Joe Biden is facing an impeachment inquiry where under oath witnesses will have to reveal that Joe Biden was the ring leader of a criminal gang that received at least $:20m for no work done from China, Russia, Ukraine and Romania. That Hunter was the foot soldier, travelled at least 15 times to countries the big guy went to , and had business deals with those respective countries. No goods trade, no service contracts, just payments to Shell companies concealed to evade taxes.

Two.
John F Kennedy Jr. A very unacceptable choice to JB handlers and deep state.. If JFK Jr does not beat JB, he will run as a third candidate. Peeling away democrat votes especially the independent votes. What with the savouring idea of him releasing all details of his uncle's murderers. Very unpalatable situation to those involved.

Three.
If Michelle Obama runs JB is toast. Kamala cannot be the likely replacement with her gaffes and never having achieved anything as veepee.They can't run two carriers of the XX chromosomes.

Fourth. They jail Trump, his supporters desert GoP elite and many likely to vote JFK Jr, the worst deep state nightmare who has a big axe to grind with the Intelligence Community.
JB has so far (last I checked) not provided him with Secret Service protection.

All in all the deep state is caught between a rock and a hard place.
It would have been easier to rule justly for Joe, there are so many enemies made.
Sadly they will hold on to whatever democrat stooge they can sponsor. There will be a selection not an election in 2024.

This is an excerpt from Romney's biography. He kept notes of his time as Senator. Great read with stories that won't endear him to many of his colleagues. He's definitely retiring after this release.

---McCarthy should be more concern about his featherlight speakership position---because all it takes is one vote to call for change---

Gaetz: Mr. Speaker, you are out of compliance with the agreement that allowed you to assume this role. The path forward for the House of Representatives is to either bring you into immediate total compliance or remove you,


Rep. Gaetz lambasted McCarthy for
not holding a vote on term limits,
refusing to release the full January 6
tapes, insufficient accountability for
the Biden Crime Family and for
advancing Biden’s spending.
Gaetz continued, “If Democrats bail
out McCarthy – I will lead the
resistance to this uni-party and the
Biden/McCarthy/Jeffries government
that they are attempting to build.

You left out the bolded. These are issues McCarthy has been sitting on.

---The girls are fighting---Matt Gaetz vs. Kevin McCarthy---

Guess what. If they impeach traitor Joe and Kamala Harris, McCarthy becomes president
He appoints Trump as VP then McCarthy resigns, Trump pardons himself and executes Joe Biden by public .hanging.
Also jails Obama because he must have known Joe is a traitor, probably they shared some loot together when Joe Biden was selling out to China, Ukraine, Russia and Romania.

Forward your questions to The Honorable Jim Jordan.
Biden's impeachment is a forgone conclusion. Inevitable!
-Lord
[Transcript] – “In recent months, House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct; taken together, these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption. “Now, here’s what we know so far: “Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden lied to the American people about knowledge of his family’s foreign business dealings. “Eyewitnesses have testified that the President joined multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions, dinners, resulting in cars and millions of dollars to his son and his son’s business partners. “Bank records show that nearly $20 million in payments were directed to Biden family members and associates through various shell companies. “The Treasury Department, alone, has more than 150 transactions involving the Biden family and other business associates that were flagged as “suspicious activity” by U.S. banks. “Even a trusted FBI informant has alleged a bribe to the Biden family. “Biden used his official office to coordinate with Hunter Biden’s business partners about Hunter’s role in Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company. “Finally, despite these serious allegations, it appears that the President’s family has been offered special treatment by Biden’s own administration; treatment he would not otherwise have received if he were not related to the President. “These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption, and they warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives. “That’s why today, I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public. “It’s exactly what we want to know, the answers, and I believe the President would want to answer these questions and allegations as well. “This effort will be led by Chairman James Comer at the Committee on Oversight, in coordination with Chairman Jim Jordan of the Judiciary Committee and Chairman Jason Smith on Ways and Means. “I don’t make this decision lightly. And Regardless of your party or who you may have voted for, these facts should concern all Americans. “The American people deserve to know that public offices are not for sale – and that the federal government is not being used to cover up the actions of a politically- associated family. “I would encourage the President and his team to fully cooperate with this investigation in the interest of transparency. “We are committed to getting the answers for the American public – nothing more, nothing less. “We will go wherever the evidence takes us

Which conduct would he be defending? What evidence will they put up at the "trial"? And all this will be televised around election time. The GOP stepped in it.
I can understand your lack of knowledge about the high treason crimes , complete with evidence of bank statements. JB will have to produce his bank statements, they forced Trump to do so.

Only option is house impeachment inquiry.
Trump was impeached for asking Ukraine to investigate the treason by Joe Biden.

They want to replace him as Democrat nominee before the election or if that fails, they will rather have Trump back in the Whitehouse. At least that will help revive their dying ratings a little bit.

Fact Check:

There are couple of factors that account for this. One such factor was called the "red mirage". It was spoken of and warned about quite extensively before the election, in terms of media preparing the country so bad actors wouldn't use it to sew distrust.
What is the "red mirage":
1.) Democrats pushed their voters to vote via mail in ballots before election day. Republicans usually vote in person on election day.
2.) In a lot of states mail in votes are counted after "in person" election day votes.
3.) So on election day, it may have looked like Trump had an early lead because the "in-person" ballots were counted first in some states. But when the mail in ballots are counted which weigh heavily Democratic a huge shift happens.

Here is one such article, notice the date.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-mirage-explainer/explainer-red-mirage-blue-mirage-beware-of-early-u-s-election-wins-idUSKBN2771CL
The left through the media has pushed very impossible facts.

You believe that a man can be a woman and be referred to as a 'she'.

If you can swallow that crap what else can you not?

Dont forget you also don't believe Ivermectin would have saved lives, you called it a horse paste. See this case of a Canadian doctor suspended for lying to a pharmacist to prescribe HCL for Lyme disease instead of covid . Because pharmacists were sort of banned from helping covid patients procure HCL and Ivermectin.The article is a pure hit piece meant for shallow minds like yours

In other words it seems as though the gods of leftist knowledge found a perfect specimen to inculcate all sorts of ridiculous beliefs..
Don't forget we have a climate crisis. Manhattan has been under water since 2015 because of climate change.
Shallow mind, running to propaganda outlets to seek divine knowledge.

Fact Check
1.) Wisconsin was a heavily Republican state with a Republican Gov., supermajority Republican Legislature and Republican controlled Supreme Court until Dem. Evers won in 2018. During that time they passed stricter Voting Laws including a strict Voter ID law.
https://pbswisconsin.org/news-item/the-life-cycle-of-wisconsin-election-ballots/
2.) Wisconsin has a law that ballots can't be counted until election day. So generally when the polls close at 8pm election day the volunteer poll workers must process all the 3.4 million votes cast in that election.
3.) Dems usually live in big urban centers/cities. And since votes are cast/counted on a county level, when those Dem counties come in they have a lot more votes and generally swing the vote tally much more than the small red country Republican districts which dribble in.
4.) There were multiple recounts in WI, led by Republicans. No fraud was found.
"Biden’s victory by nearly 21,000 votes has withstood recounts, multiple state and federal lawsuits, an audit by the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau and a review by a conservative activist law firm, the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty."
https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-wisconsin-lawsuits-presidential-16d90c311d35d28b9b5a4024e6fb880c
As Mr Trump walked out to speak to the
media in the early hours of November 4,
TV news tickers showed the President with
a comfortable lead over Joe Biden in nearly
every key battleground state.
Pennsylvania, 56-43, a lead of just under
700,000 votes. Georgia, 51-48, a lead of
nearly 120,000. Michigan, 53-45, a lead of
nearly 295,000. Wisconsin, 51-47, a lead of
more than 116,000. North Carolina, 50-49,
a lead of nearly 77,000.

Once fraudulent ballots have been injected into the system recounts will only show the same thing.
The petition of Wisconsin was the validity of the votes cast.
