If only it were for any of the actual crimes he's committed and not made up or fringe bullshit.
An overly hopeful and coping portion of my brain wants to believe all these dipshits keep one-upping each other on impeachments that eventually you end up with some senator like "you wanna impeach Obama for sucking a dick? WELL FUCK YOU! We're dragging Bush and Cheney's asses in! That'll fucking show you!"
This is my mental fanfic and masturbation material. Do not take it from me.
*Preemptively protecting my material by editing this to investigate instead of impeach since I don't think you can impeach someone out of office. Continue not taking this from me
Since the U.S. is amazing at letting crimes against humanity happen legally, has Biden’s crimes broken any actual US law?
Oh yeah, there's for sure a ton of bribery and corruption stuff related to Ukraine that they could get him on if they really tried. But personally i doubt this is more than the usual partisan political theatre. It's called the uniparty for a reason, they may put on a show for the plebs but at the end of the day they stick together. If they do push Biden out it's because both parties have agreed that it's necessary for damage control, or to get an even bigger warhawk in there.
Would you mind expanding on this? That was my actual question; the actual “investigation” being political theater is obvious even to members of Congress of both “parties”
I mean for one thing his ties to Burisma through his son and god knows how many other shady dealings in Ukraine, though to be fair probably half of Congress has their fingers in the dirty pie of Ukraine and profiting one way or another. But the fact that we now know for a fact that he pressured the Ukrainian government to fire the prosecutor looking into the very corruption the Bidens were involved in takes it one step further.
Interesting, turns out they actually are asking questions about that…

Meanwhile, other sources say this firing definitely was about ousting corruption in Ukraine (despite that this makes no sense in 2023 especially given the very obvious nature to everyone that Nazis are running rampant)
Didn't they impeach Trump for doing pretty much the exact same thing?
Yup.
