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.

[–] fakeplastic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Modern Republicans aren't interested in governing. They're interested in running a circus while their fascist baby in chief destroys the country.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 8 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

As an American, I want to see it crumble, it would give me some breathing room.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

They're trying to retroactively invalidate whatever changes or orders he implemented by proving he was incompetent.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

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.

[–] jabeez@lemmy.today 29 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] jabeez@lemmy.today 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Huh, weird, I must have missed all of them!

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

I mean, I can go get a bunch of time-stamped stuff if you want, but you can literally type "Trump says dumb shit during campaign" into any search engine and get hundreds (well, probably millions, but I'm lowballing it since I only looked at the first 4-5 pages) of links to front-page headlines, videos, online articles, op-ed pieces, etc., from every source you can imagine from The Guardian and Forbes Magazine to late-night hosts and yahoo news (all dated during the campaign-election cycle).

[–] jabeez@lemmy.today -1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Cool cool, you're right, me being in swing state and seeing dozens of ads, none of which being like I described, is wrong.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You moved the goal posts from news talking about it to ads on TV not talking about them. Which you're, right, they didn't run nearly enough ads about it! But it was still discussed in the news, also not as much as it should've been

[–] jabeez@lemmy.today 0 points 7 hours ago

Nope, check your reading comprehension, was clearly (at least for most people) talking about ads from the beginning, unless you think I meant the DNC should have spent some of their billions on......news stories??

[–] Kaliax@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Seriously. That should have been happening and enough. Fuck.

[–] knightly@pawb.social 2 points 16 hours ago

Our owners wanted it this way.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago

Your gouvernement is largely made up of conspiracy podcasters, so that figures.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 33 points 1 day ago

Chuck Grassley is living proof that only the good die young.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 174 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 3 points 14 hours ago

Because it was all prophesized in Hunter Biden's laptop and Hilary Clinton's emails.

[–] ClanOfTheOcho@lemmy.world 49 points 1 day ago

Not president, and dying of cancer

[–] tankplanker@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago

More like the start of his second term - and it was Alzheimer's.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Nancy Reagan was basically the president for most of his second term.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

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?

[–] Lvdwsn@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] SlothMama@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

They didn't have the Internet back then though

[–] BarneyPiccolo 15 points 1 day ago

And her astrologer.

[–] BarneyPiccolo 14 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 81 points 1 day ago (3 children)

We live in a gerontocracy, of course our leaders are going to be suffering from cognitive decline.

[–] Eiri@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 day ago (6 children)

The world would be so much better off if you just couldn't be elected after a certain age.

[–] OminousOrange@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

Pretty sure thats some sort of zombie. Are we sure this isn't weekend at the Bernies thing or some sort of fascist necromancer?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

They already did it with Feinstein. Puppeting corpses is a time honored tradition in the US government.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago

Durbin is 80 years old. Donald Trump is the youngest person named... Fml

[–] chairlegoftruth@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Go reboot McConnell, Chuck.

So, considering the average age of said room, would those clips be considered a hearing aid?
