Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

It should not be about will, but about evidence.
Republicans never had facts on anything, so they will not care about them now
They had plenty of facts according to them until recently, it's just those facts were unsubstantiated lies fed to them by Russian intelligence according to the operative who confessed he was working for Russia when he lied about the info to the FBI that the GOP were crowing about on Fox entertainews as extremely credible.
Still waiting for apologies and resignations from Fox, James Comer, etc.
Conservatives knew the "evidence" was fake. The public at large knew the evidence did not exist. Everyone knew this was all made up, yet conservatives thought they could push this through by sheer will. This was never about evidence for them. This was always dishonest.
A conservative is incapable of honesty. Every word uttered by a conservative is either deception or manipulation. Every word. This has been true throughout history and will not change in our lifetimes.
They probably just assumed if they started an investigation they'd come across something real that they could nail Biden on. After all, that's true for any Republican, and they believe Democrats are just as corrupt as they are.
That's true. That's why every accusation from a conservative is a confession.
To believe that it's a universal truth that Republican are bad by default is just another way to become mystified by propaganda. I recommend not that thinking because it's nice to have robust solutions for the real problems we face and we each see something different. Just don't let your brain fall out...
Any Republican that voted in favour of impeachment is fucking corrupt, as they already knew there was no evidence to support it.
But if you tell yourself impeachments against "your guy" were completely political, that must be how it works right?
It must be so hard to live in that reality.
It's easier to live without thinking and without reason than you expect.
Even an idiot can do it. They just assume they're never wrong and yada yada yada narcissist's prayer, etc.
It's very easy for them to live in that reality when:
What's hard is to break free from that reality and find the truth after you've allowed yourselves to be brainwashed by the cult which is the current state of "American Conservatism."
They don't live in that reality. What you have to understand about conservatives is that they have an enlarged fear center in the brain and they value white supremacist hierarchy over any other thing, even truth.
They know for a fact that their guy did actual crimes and they just don't care. They understand that storing Top Secret documents next to the bathroom copier is worse than the unsecured email server they were screeching about in 2016.
If you consider a perspective where white supremacist hierarchy is more important than truth or integrity, all their behavior magically starts making sense.
I laughed so damn hard at this the bleach I was drinking shot right out my nose!
Best way to keep that from happening again is to shove a UV lightbulb up your nose.
Wait, it goes up your nose? Well, this is awkward.
One of them goes up your nose. Don't get them mixed up though.
Please tell me you washed it before it went into your nose.
Wash it? Ridiculous. What exactly do you think the UV is for?
Yeah it would be doubly damning for them if they had the evidence but were unwilling to proceed
But he was in a position to abuse his power and all people do, therefore despite lack of evidence and history of these acts he's guilty. It was worth investigating but they should have stopped when it became obvious there wasn't any real corruption.
No. No it wasn't. There was never anything to investigate other than the rumors they themselves made up.
