[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) You missed the point. Or your ignoring it because you know that your team doesn’t care aboutnl corruption, just scoring political points. Either way you slice it, republicans are patently and blatantly corrupt and only going after democrats because they’re democrats. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Either way you slice it, republicans are patently and blatantly corrupt and only going after democrats because they’re democrats. So? Literally who cares what they're doing. Dems should be investigating everyone regardless of party. Otherwise no Dem will ever be held accountable, because Republicans are completely incompetent. It won't take long of that for grifters to take over both parties. Holding everyone accountable shouldn't be a controversy statement. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Otherwise no Dem will ever be held accountable held accountable for...what, exactly? having a big cock? or having a job? or, Biden doing business after leaving the whitehouse? Or Pete Travelling? Literally none of these house investigations- which are being done by REPUBLICANS- are being conducted in good faith. it's partisan politics, and it's a massive waste of time. Because Democrats do hold their own accountable where republicans absolutely do not. There is zero evidence of corruption here- or else it would be moved to criminal courts- See, for example, Senator Menendez. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Or Pete Travelling? I'm trying to stay on topic here... But yes, if he used government private flights when he should have paid for his own travel. It doesn't matter if Republicans abuse it more. Democrats are supposed to be the adults in the room. And adults don't get to get away with stuff just because the toddler threw shit on the walls. If he didn't do anything wrong, then it's very easy to prove. There's all types of records for this stuff and a GS6 could put a report together in an afternoon. There's zero reason not to do that permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) If he didn’t do anything wrong, then it’s very easy to prove.

I don't know about you, but I'd like to have a congress that isn't filled halfway with blatantly corrupt assholes that seem to be doing everything in their power to fuck over Americans. maybe that's just me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago And there’s no reason to waste the House of Representatives time with a floor hearing or panel, either Which isn't an investigation...
