"For there is always light
If only we're brave enough to see it
If only we're brave enough to be it."

Oh and to add to the amusment, that numbskull Rep.Marjorie Taylor-Greene has just tweeted a vid saying that she has filed papers for impeachment of President Biden.

No one knows why Grin

She is batshit

I can't find anywhere that says exactly what her 'basis' for impeachment is.

@lionheart

Meanwhile Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has just filed Articles of Impeachment against President Biden.

She looks pleased with herself.

To be honest, i am going to enjoy this.

She is going to have her arse handed to her. People like her do not like to be made fools of and she is about to experience it.

AcrossthePond55 · 21/01/2021 22:19

Found an article in the Independent. I'm on the app now so I don't have the link to hand.

It's the old Biden/Ukraine/Hunter Biden stuff that's been thoroughly debunked.

BoreOfWhabylon · 21/01/2021 22:20

She's alleging that in 2015 Biden pressured the Ukraine Govt to fire a prosecutor who was investigating an energy company that had Hunter Biden as a board member

Mittens030869 · 21/01/2021 22:22

Anyway, she must know that if such an impeachment were to be successful (obviously not going to happen), it would be Kamala Harris who would become President and not Trump?? Confused

BoreOfWhabylon · 21/01/2021 22:22

Ah yes, Across, I should have added that it's been debunked Smile

And now for something completely different - here's Stephen Colbert's take on the Inauguration

lionheart · 21/01/2021 22:36

Apparently she hasn't actually filed the papers yet because it turns out it is not as easy as she thought it was going to be. Smile

merrymouse · 21/01/2021 22:36

So basically she is dredging up the debunked story that led to Trump’s first impeachment.

What, did she think all she had to do was tweet it?

middlepuddle · 21/01/2021 22:41

Is there an equivalent to removing the party whip if a representative really pisses off the party they belong to?

It's true that the Vice--president did put pressure on Ukraine to replace Viktor Shokin as their chief prosecutor; the reasons might be just a little different from those she presumably believes.

As I understood it at the time, Biden pressured the Ukraine government (on the instructions of his own government, and at the request of the European Union, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund) to replace Viktor Shokin precisely because he wasn't investigating Burisma, or anything much else in the way of corruption, because he was himself both corrupt and ineffective. I might be wrong, though: has any actual evidence, as opposed to rudyism, come to light since then?

And wasn't there a bit of trump news (which is false news under a more accurate name, I feel) which also tried, but failed, to link Nancy Pelosi's son Paul to Burisma?

Mind you, Trump was right to see Joe Biden as the main threat to his re-election, wasn't he.

I genuinely laughed at this Grin. I really think she thought that's all she had to do

As a Trekkie and a Bernie fan, I love this Grin

Maybe he got to close and sniffed her hair once so she taking her revenge 🤣

cyclingmad · 21/01/2021 23:11

Well pot kettle black, the Dems tried to impeach Trump when he first got in but that turned out to be untrue and noenthey have declassified those files that shows it.

They can hardly complain for a republican potentially doing the same thing. They are just having there own games played back at them lol 😆 its quite funny really.

NotaRealLawyer · 21/01/2021 23:15

SanFranBear That's a great picture!
I love the story of Bernie's mittens also.

RedToothBrush · 21/01/2021 23:15

She's playing to the peanut gallery. She has no intention whatsoever of filing anything.

Shrillharridan · 21/01/2021 23:17

Well.
She's not the sharpest tool in the shed, is she?
😁

"Peanut gallery" = racists/fascists
