Senate Republicans Set Summer Of Investigations Involving Biden

[tnbadger]

Source: npr

"Senate Republicans have launched politically loaded investigations into the Obama administration and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden that are expected to carry on into the fall...
On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee begins the first of a planned series of hearings on the origins of the FBI's 2016 Russia investigation into possible ties with the Trump campaign. Republicans are particularly interested in the decision-making inside the Obama-Biden administration."

as if the pandemic, murder of Floyd, resultant protests, & failure of WH leadership were not enough to bear, the Vichy-GOPhers still want to help T get reelected by staging further kangaroo court/committee meetings to smear Biden...
hoping this too spectacularly backfires on the M##her-F###ers... they still seem to have narry a clue as to the mood of the masses...

[leftieNanner]

16. Sorry

My bad.

[DownriverDem]

2. Only trumpers

care. The majority of the country doesn't give a flying F**k!

[ancianita]

4. Low to zero tv viewership.

[Auggie]

24. FOX NEWS will be all over this like flies on a turd ...

if the news is big enough and creates CONTROVERSY and RATINGS, others sources might report on it too.

[ancianita]

27. Yes, it will. But it's been a hard spring even for FOX viewers and summer is a break.

Even if Republicans provide rally fodder for this internationally and domestically discredited president ... they know. By now they just know.

And I'm not saying that to mean that Democrats should be, in any way, complacent about the summer campaign. But if it's all about Joe, that's PR, too, because they're grasping at any fabrications they think will fly.

[lagomorph777]

35. So sad that fake investigations are all they have left to pin their failing regime on.

[ancianita]

39. heh heh and they just slog along in that cesspool...

we should put a bunch of folks in the Senate balcony with

[qazplm135]

3. you know what's funny about this?

All they do is strengthen the association of Biden with Obama when they do this stuff.

And, ya know, people like Obama. And if it were Obama v Trump, it would be Reagan 1984 levels.

[AKing]

30. It's going to be like they're running against Obama. Talk about stepping on a rake

[lagomorph777]

36. More like stepping on a Claymore.

Fools.

[EndlessWire]

42. Sideshow Don n/t

[Karadeniz]

5. Using tax payer funds for their political benefit. How ethical!

[jorgevlorgan]

6. They only investigate Democrats when they think they are goig to lose badly.

[tazkcmo]

7. Fuck 'em. nt

[flibbitygiblets]

8. 4 years in, this is suddenly relevant? As obvious as a bible-toting baboon in front of a church

Yes, suddenly, four entire years later, we need to investigate the previous administration. Hmm, why would that be?

What's next for the Greedy Outoftouch Party? Repeal and replace Obamacare perhaps?

[BittyJenkins]

9. Ugly is ugly.

It is who they honestly are. U7

[BlueIdaho]

10. Due to Precedent, Senate subpoenas are advisory only.

Don’t want to show up? Ignore them.

[SWBTATTReg]

12. Exactly. How many subpoenas were ignored by republicans and their cronies?

[BlueIdaho]

13. Answer - All of them...

[SWBTATTReg]

15. Thanks. I suspected that they ignored them but I didn't know they ignored every one of them...

somehow I'm not surprised. Isn't it amazing w/ so many other issues on the table to deal w/, that this is one of the primary issues that they choose to deal w/, not the CV, not the riots, not the economy, not rump and his failings, but this.

Pure garbage politics at play here and not serious issues that are at hand.

Take care and be safe!

[lagomorph777]

37. +1 Biden to Moscow Mitch: "Fuck off."

[Maribelle]

14. They better reopen the investigation into Hillary's emails then.

I'm sure there were one or two to Biden. And they better open the Benghazi investigation and republish the sacrilegious pictures. I'm sure Joe made a call to Hillary during this time.

No matter how many hours the republicans waste, no matter how many dollars they waste, its really important to sped the summer attempting to trash Biden's name for Trump's campaign purposes. All the while Trump will be doing things like firing tear gas into innocent civilians and waving the bible as a prop for his campaign purposes.

[stillcool]

23. what the hell...go for the birth certificate..

and where's Monica? I know Linda Tripp died, maybe they can get a look-alike.

[Grokenstein]

17. Flush ALL the turds!

Sweep the filth from every house.

[DFW]

18. I hope the Biden camp sends them a three sentence note

Whatever you do, you will get back in kind, starting January 21 of next year. All of you.

That's not a threat, that's a promise.

[alp227]

25. for some, January 3

because that's the day the new Congress is sworn in

[PSPS]

19. Sorry, there's no more tread left on that tire

This is just to produce clips for fox

[catbyte]

20. Pathetic. Propping up Mussolini Mini-Me because they're sniveling little cowards clinging to power

Wow. I wonder if there are enough republicans left who will be sickened by this un-American, undemocratic ploy to cheat in November.

[trueblue2007]

21. GOP's are evip POS. I can't even read the article through my tears

[onetexan]

22. Yawn. It's been ongoing for a while now of course, since Biden is the only candidate who could beat

the Idiot.

[alp227]

26. in the right wing lingo, "Vichy Republican" RINO

From Erick Erickson of RedState in 2009:

Now, twenty years after Rush began, some Republicans who once fell all over themselves to get on the air with him, have decided he is too shrill, too conservative, and too harmful to the cause.

What they do not seem to notice is that Rush has not changed. They have. The ground has not shifted to the left. They have shifted to the left. They have become Vichy Republicans — not Republicans in Name Only. The difference is that they stand on their bona fides as Republicans, patted on the back by other Republicans of unquestioned party affiliation, to sell out the party by collaborating with the Democrats.

[Ford_Prefect]

28. As much as I want tell them to stuff it I smell a rat. A great big Russian Rat.

This is all going along the same plan Putin followed to destabilize Ukraine.

My thought is that like the moment when Moscow Mitch declared no supreme court nominee for Obama, the GOP Senate has some idea that the fix is in. As long as they can make it appear there could be something doubtful about Biden or his campaign that will allow them to steal the election once again. For them, this is now the way national elections are going to happen. The polls, the on the ground realities do not matter. It will only require the appearance of certain issues being true for the plan to work. Who knows but maybe Putin's squad of nasties has made up some fake evidence to prop up the allegations?

Between the voter purging, the rearranging of voting locations, the failure, and misfunction of voting equipment, the terrorizing of certain voters, and the chaos from coping with COVID-19, the GOP expect they will win if for no other reason than that they have been told their "friends" will control the counting where it really matters. IMO this is what we are seeing in action.

[democrattotheend]

29. Right, because this is what's important right now

How tone deaf can you get?

[PlanetBev]

31. Please proceed, assholes

And watch it blow up in your collective faces.

[dalton99a]

32. Too bad protesters can't go to these traitors' offices

[SharonClark]

33. Go for it GOP fascists. It will make a great

campaign ad for Biden and the Democratic candidates.

[Karma13612]

34. With states slowly opening

Voters are going to be clamoring to get outside and DO STUFF.

They are probably not going to be watching too much teevee.

That's why normal programs begin in the fall and conclude in the late spring.

“Everybody in the pool!”
Don’t forget your floatation device and wait an hour after eating!

Hot dogs for everybody!
S’Mores anyone?

Don’t forget your sunscreen and bug spray!

Tell me these phrases don’t get your happy self jumping for joy 🥰😃

Quotation from middle America (not DU political junkies like us):
“Senate hearings on TV? What? Our lockdown just ended. I’m outta here. The remote is all yours.”

[Marthe48]

38. more screwing off instead of working

Vote these bums out in November. Work after that to keep them out forever.
Here are things they should be working on:
Unemployment
Covid-19

Feel free to add to the list.

[BlueIdaho]

40. Burn the Republican Party to the ground. nt.

[captain jack]

41. "Democrats Set 2021 Investigations Involving Former Trump Administration."

This is the headline I'd like to see, now. Joe Biden is already the President of the United States. Just need to make it official in November.
