As a Canadian, I'm genuinely confused why anyone is still investigating Biden. He's not the president. Why bother?
They're not criminal charges, so what's the big deal?
Sometimes I just don't understand why some of the things that are happening there, are still happening.... But ok.
It's all fucking theater. Republicans in this era of Congress openly have no interest in legislation and have to fill their time with something. They're empty husks made up only of culture war escalation.
Modern Republicans aren't interested in governing. They're interested in running a circus while their fascist baby in chief destroys the country.
Modern republicans are only interested in concepts of a government
That's a good thing, us non-Americans want to see the Empire crumble. It'll give us some breathing room
They are struggling to feel relevant to their own ideas. Even if it makes zero impact on any of what is actually going on in reality.
Where the fuck were videos like this during the '24 campaign? I was and remain dumbfounded that there weren't super-clips of Fatputin's various word-salads and crazy spew, just playing non-stop across battleground states. Didn't the DNC have record funds, in the billions? And we got none of this, just a normal campaign with lame ads.
There were plenty of ads and videos of this nonsense during the campaign. Talk shows and news reports were covering this non-stop; people just voted Republican anyway.
Huh, weird, I must have missed all of them!
Seriously. That should have been happening and enough. Fuck.
Our owners wanted it this way.
Chuck Grassley is living proof that only the good die young.
So congress is wasting tax payer money by hosting a meeting to bully an old cancer patient and private citizen.
Our government is as respectable as a your average conspiracy podcaster.
Your gouvernement is largely made up of conspiracy podcasters, so that figures.
It's kind of double hypocrisy when you consider the fact that Reagan was well known to be completely mentally shut down by the end of his second term.
More like the start of his second term - and it was Alzheimer's.
Nancy Reagan was basically the president for most of his second term.
Was it just a stipid internet rumour, like that guy removing a rib for you know what, that she was the best at sucking dick in Washington?
They didn't have the Internet back then though
Nancy was the throat goat, my biggest regret in life is that I wasn’t alive when she was absolutely hoovering the entire cabinet so I’ll never get to experience it for myself
And her astrologer.
Durbin should have grabbed Grassley's gavel and played keep away with it, making the old guy jump to grab it until he croaked from an infarction.
I thought this had to be old, because why the fuck would they be holding a hearing on this now when he’s not president? But no, that’s what they’re doing. Fucking Republicans.
Because it was all prophesized in Hunter Biden's laptop and Hilary Clinton's emails.
Not president, and dying of cancer
It's surely being done to appease the orange toddler as he wants Biden dragged through the courts as he was. Small problem is that either Bidens a much smarter criminal than Trump and didn't leave any evidence, or he just wasn't criminal enough to warrant charging.
Pretty sure thats some sort of zombie. Are we sure this isn't weekend at the Bernies thing or some sort of fascist necromancer?
They already did it with Feinstein. Puppeting corpses is a time honored tradition in the US government.
We live in a gerontocracy, of course our leaders are going to be suffering from cognitive decline.
The world would be so much better off if you just couldn't be elected after a certain age.
Hypocrisy is the conservative way, though. The Canadian conservative party leader (but not actually an MP) got into politics saying if he were Prime Minister, he would enact a two-term limit (8 years) for all MPs.
He was an MP for 25 years until he lost his seat this spring. Ironically, one of his campaign slogans was 'vote for change'. Upon the electorate voting for the change of their representative and him losing his seat, he then went to Alberta to steal another conservative MP's seat, while also continuing to reside in the mansion for the official Leader of the Opposition in Parliament.
Poiluevre? Wow I didn't know that.
Good old Mr. Verb the Noun
They should index it to when you can draw social security.
55 lol
45!
... no, wait, fuck 45! 46!
Well I guess I got one, maybe 2 elections to get a small time gov job lol. But I feel like voting should be cut off at 70 as well. There's just too many things to go wrong with that, meaning "ok grandma it's all filled out, just sign here" or old folks homes and stuff. We would have to enshrine SSA, and Medicare/Medicaid to protect them from attacks on benefits, but people that close to death shouldn't be forcing their ancient views on society moving forward. It really doesn't matter here though. We're not getting another election, not without a fight.
I meant getting elected. As for old people voting, you have a point, but if old people's views don't matter at all, then you can easily imagine a world where policy doesn't care about them, which might be dangerous.
I just wish we had fewer old people. It sounds like I'm arguing for a purge... But I just mean I wish our birth rates were stable instead of going all boom-and-bust.
Durbin is 80 years old. Donald Trump is the youngest person named... Fml
So, considering the average age of said room, would those clips be considered a hearing aid?
