Nearly six months after Joe Biden left the White House, Senate Republicans are still scrutinizing his presidency, kicking off the first in what’s expected to be a series of congressional hearings this year on his mental fitness in office.

Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee brought in three witnesses Wednesday — none of whom served in Biden’s administration — to scrutinize his time in office, arguing that Biden, his staff and the media must be held accountable. Democrats boycotted the hearing and criticized Republicans for “arm chair diagnosing” Biden when the committee could be looking into serious matters.

Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, who co-chaired the hearing, said that they will aim to “shine a light on exactly what went on in the White House during Biden’s presidency.”

This is of course a primary concern for the American people right now....

Whatever happened to bringing down the prices for everything, by the way?

Sorry, too busy licking boot leather and sucking Trump dick. Best we can do is more tax cuts for rich fucks who don't pay any taxes anyway.

Are they sure that the mental state of a president is a thread they want to pull?

[-] [email protected] 38 points 23 hours ago

Every accusation is a confession.

If Republicans want to play that game Democrats should hold hearings on Trump's mental fitness. He's the one who's actually in office and the one who clearly has cognitive decline.

Ok so genuinely, what the actual fuck are the fash hoping to get out of this besides a simple distraction?

[-] [email protected] 24 points 21 hours ago

My guess is that this could be used to help reverse some of his accomplishments? Maybe revoke appointments for judges?

lol fuck you’re probably right 🫠

Tucker is a Putin lackey more than he is MAGA. Putin is buddies with Iran. Cruz is philtrum-deep up Trump's anus, so he's fed up with Iran and doesn't know why. They're both just hoping to get a praise fetish dopamine hit from their respective daddies.

Mostly undoing his legacy and trying to placate their base, who is sharply divided in the actions of Trump/GOP since the election.

These are the same Senators who argued ex-presidents can't be impeached.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 22 hours ago

Ah, see, you missed the asterisk, it's only republican ex president's who can't be impeached

“We simply cannot ignore what transpired because President Biden is no longer in office,” Cornyn said.

Yes you can.

The Senate Republicans are as useless as tits on a bull.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago

Talk about flogging a dead horse. Republicans you are pathetic.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

I would have wagered a guess they would use this as pretense for overturning everything Biden did while in office, but Trump has seemingly already done that with his daily Executive Orders.

Instead, maybe they are trying to pin some responsibility on Dems they want out of whatever position of power the Reps want to control.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago

I bet it's because they know Trump has dementia and are trying to get out in front of it to muddy the waters. Same thing Trump did with "fake news" back in 2016 right before pumping out a bunch of fake news. They get it out in the zeitgeist and then claim you're just throwing around baseless accusations.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 23 hours ago

Hey everyone, look over here and ignore all the completely insane bullshit the current president is doing and we’re enabling!

Next up, have you heard about this Hillary lady and her emails? Let’s get right on that! It’s what’s important!

We need an investigation into how Cornyn is a fucking idiot.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 23 hours ago

Oh look, it’s Ted “I don’t know anything about Iran” Cruz.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago

God, I hate Tucker so very much, but that interview was hilarious. I mean, I guess Cruz expected Tucker to spend the entire time just cradling his balls while bobbing his head on his knob.

And then he got a rather mild question, LOL.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago

These fools will be sitting in the ashes of DC after Iran nukes it, still trying to have a hearing on if Biden liked ice cream too much.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago

I had to make sure I wasn't in Nottheonion. Republicans, good job enabling this ridiculousness.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

The owners demand blood.

The only place more dangerous to be than between an ICE agent and his quota is between a demagogue and a TV camera.
