During the first hearing of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene was interrupted for a specific request – to not show pornography.
Ms Greene said at the House Oversight Committee hearing, “It is sad that my Democratic colleagues pretend to care about women’s rights while allowing Hunter Biden to exploit women.” She was holding up a blown-up photo of a plane ticket and a photo of a nearly-naked woman for whom Hunter Biden allegedly purchased the ticket.
So, do they have any proof that Joe Biden has done anything or are they just pretending that Joe and Hunter are the same person?
They intentionally keep saying “Biden”, talking about Hunter but with the intent that people will take it as Joe. They got called out for it but like that would stop them.
It’s especially rich coming from the side that’s so horribly overtly corrupt and well known for cronyism and nepotism.
Especially considering that their dear leader was impeached twice and is facing a pile of felony charges.
Well, that’s the biggest reason they’re doing this. If they can get Democrats to yell “this impeachment is bullshit” they don’t even have to erase the extra word. Their supporters who desperately want to rationalize their support for their orange idol will do it for them.
They basically don’t have proof of anything. They are just doing political theater to distract from the issues they are causing.
Like the shutdown…
He’s taken a few steps to help his son which could make him an accomplice, but only if Hunter is a criminal.
They’re stretching, but they know that. They just want something to stretch.
I’m not sure that’s really true. The only thing they’ve pointed at is that prosecutor being fired in Ukraine, but that was because the prosecutor was corrupt and people all over the world were calling for it. Also the prosecutor was notably corrupt by not investigating the company Hunter was working for (so Joe getting them fired actually went against his son’s interests)
Well no it’s not true. They’re just saying it, and I only repeat it here because the question was asking for their argument and not facts. Biden almost certainly has a bias for his son (go figure, most dads would) but I haven’t heard anything that’s actually substantiative in regards to impeachment. They’re all hot air.
Shokin did not start Burisma investigation, according to his deputy the case was completly dormant the entire less than the year he was in office (yes, he was in the office for less of a year in total).
All political parties in Ukraine (except the ruling one which was blocking the process) started his impeachment, because of the corruption and also because he refused investigating who ordered to open fire at protesters during Euromaidan protests.
His removal was requested by the United States, European Union, World Bank and IMF. Either Hunter really has a lot of friends or Joe Biden was doing his job, by refusing to provide aid until office responsible to crack on corruption was doing its job.
Is that “shit shit, I almost blew my cover”?
Did “They’re stretching, but they know that. They just want something to stretch.” not let you know I thought they were full of shit the whole time?
Their whole platform is nothing but stretching lies into shit that sounds just barely true enough that it isn’t immediately shut down.
He’s taken a few steps to help his son which could make him an accomplice, but only if Hunter is a criminal.
He hasn’t taken any steps to help his son with Burisma or Ukraine or anything legal, afaik (and the GOP would be shouting it from the rooftops if it existed). He maybe have taken steps to help his son with addiction, but that wouldn’t make him an accomplice. Hunter is a criminal.
Your opening sentence looks like a propaganda admission that’s followed with backtracking to gain normal human support. Maybe you didn’t intend that, but that one opening sentence looks sus af.
Well your statement made me look into it and I was just wrong on a few things. I thought Biden was more active in what his son was doing. I didn’t think it was illegal, but I did think it was a mutual thing.
Looking into it, though, that’s not at all true. I apparently did buy into some of the propaganda. Thanks for keeping me honest and not just being a dick about it, always nice to have a good interaction online.
(X) doubt. If he had done anything illegal, the repubs would have made that known by now. Instead it’s going to be a boatload of bullshit allegations.
Indeed. They’ve already investigated this six ways from Sunday, and they’ve found nothing. It’s Hilary and Benghazi all over again - the modern republican strategy of repeating a edit:
lawlie often enough people start to believe. With their base, it doesn’t even take that much repetition.

No. Yes.
WASHINGTON — The House Oversight Committee on Thursday convened its first hearing in the GOP’s impeachment inquiry, presenting a panel of Republican-picked witnesses who said while there is no evidence of a crime by President Joe Biden, more bank records are needed from him and his son Hunter Biden to determine if there might be.
The point is to discredit the whole impeachment process. “Oh, the other side always tries to impeach. It’s just political theater.” In order to minimize the fact that Trump was impeached for actual crimes.
They don’t intend to be successful, they intend to give people an excuse to say “BoTh SiDeS!” The next time a republican is in office and gets impeached for actual crimes.
It’s this. They want to impeach Hunter and are using this as a farce to do so, but… Hunter isn’t the president, so…
Why would they need proof when they know he’s guilty?
They spent +8 years claiming Barack Obama was born in Kenya, which was true, he was born in Kenya and his son went on to become president.
*again.
She’s being asked again to not show porn at the proceedings again.
these are very unserious proceedings…. And she has a very serious crush….so it’s not allowed.
Her Dem opponent should honestly take out ads in her ultra-conservative district reminding everyone that she’s the Larry Flynt of Congress 😂
Repubs don’t give a shit about anything but their fascist dream.
True. The hypocrisy and other inconsistencies are features, not bugs.
Is she the escort, or was that the other dumb bimbo?
Not that there’s anything wrong with being an escort.
Have they remembered to ask Boebert to abstain from making
porkporn during Biden’s impeachment carnival, too?Whoa now. How is she preparing the pork?
With an over-the-pants handjob in a public theater in the presence of minors.
Tempting but I think I’ll pass.
That’s one lucky pig!
Makin bacon at the beach
Slow down a minute. You know she wouldn’t share any with Democrats. This could work out pretty well.
Don’t worry she’ll probably have her “hands full”
She’s about to give the whole Congress a Bobert in the bathroom.
while allowing Hunter Biden to exploit women
Why is the US House Oversight Committee resposible for the behavior of a private citizen?
You forgot the best part:
She was holding up a blown-up photo of a plane ticket and a photo of a nearly-naked woman for whom Hunter Biden allegedly purchased the ticket.
OK so caring about women’s rights is displaying huge private pictures of women without their consent. Got it, thanks Marjorie!
Who took the picture?
No idea, and I don’t care.
And neither should anyone else, but here we are.
I agree, Hunter Biden should not hold the role of US President. Now, can you they back to work?
Glad MTG is being asked this. Hunter Biden naked is something they think about just as much as the prostitutes themselves.
That title belongs in brandnewsentence.
Anyone ever predicted the day would come a US representative would have to REPEATEDLY be told not to show revenge porn in impeachment hearings??
Not sure it counts as a brandnewsentence if the brand new part is the word “again”.
How is it legal?
Nothing is illegal if it’s not enforced.
Lord knows.
You can’t wear casual wear in the Senate without being excluded, but you can show revenge porn on the House floor and probably actually gain votes by doing so.
MTG strikes me as the kind of person who absentmindedly starts staring when farm animals go at it
Her apparent needing to be reminded multiple times to not bring literal revenge porn into political discussions is not helping this image in my mind
How come the Christian Nationalist Protect The Children Party can’t stop showing porn or giving handjobs in public?
Because they’re always thinking of the children!
Does the “Boebert rule” apply here? Over-the-top is “family friendly”?
Pretty sure the Boebert rules are “in the top”… and uh, everywhere else, apparently.
This is like telling a toddler not to eat candy out of the candy dish when you leave the room.
You should be able to show… a little bit of porn during impeachment hearings. 🥚
Have the entire hearing with everyone naked!
MTG:“But the last impeachment of a democrat president had porn! It had millions of dollars spent on a report detailing exact sex scenes! Why can we do it for this one!”
She was holding up a blown-up photo of a plane ticket and a photo of a nearly-naked woman for whom Hunter Biden allegedly purchased the ticket.
Perhaps wishing that she was the nearly-naked woman.
I think MTG wants him.
I think MTG is Dog the Bounty Hunter in drag.

Before anyone wastes time replying to this guy, let me save you the trouble. He’s probably about 35 and thinks 2001-style troll comments in favor of right wing trash are witty and clever. He’s really not worth your time.
Sometimes it’s fun to troll the trolls, though.
You don’t come across particularly stable yourself, with that comment, to be fair. Maybe just mind your own business and let other people do how they please.
And what makes you think this is propaganda?
Look at his account. He’s a troll. I wouldn’t engage.
