    Except magical witches aren't real. This is more like removing a skunk from the crawl space than any hunt.

    Ya, they will want to time it for some kind of effect on the election without it being transparently so.

    I want to be clear that I don't think there is anything public that has any meat to it, but: you have to understand that if they DON'T impeach, that will be a much bigger problem for them due to their base.

    Yep, it will definitely be timed for maximum effect.

    Who is advising Biden and why do they always appear to be caught off guard.

    We have to get out of Afghanistan by X. Let's wait and have a fire-drill. We want to look as incompetent as possible.

    Title 42 is expiring on X date. Let's wait until it expires. It is going to be chaotic for awhile but we will be okay.

    Some combination of them legitimately not being smart and also not seeing the result as a negative (influx at the border).

    They've known. Impossible for Biden/his admin not to have known this exact situation was coming. Whether it is their sheer incompetence or outright complicity in not meaningfully trying to prevent this situation they had to have at least known about the imminent Title 42 expiration and the ramifications to follow. Also, it's almost like appointing Kamala Harris as the "border czar" was indeed a huge mistake.

    They've been taking action on this since the start of the year. The reporting is a narrative, and the scale of problem is such that this wasn't going to be resolved without a crisis.

    The real question is why congress has still not taken up immigration reform. Been a hot button issue for almost 15 years.

    IMO because essentially Rich Republican donor interests prefer the endless supply of cheap immigrant labor. And ever since Trump loudly made illegal immigration a centerpiece platform to his political movement Democrats in response pivoted to using our broken immigration system as a counter to the Trump era for partisan political purposes as a way to virtue signal against the "xenophobia and racism" of the Reps. "In this country no human being is illegal. We are a nation of immigrants. All immigration-legal or illegal-is valid".

    The current political climate surrounding this issue has both sides refusing to come together and find a workable solution. Why fix the problem when both sides can use this issue to campaign on?

    Compared to say both of the Bush admins, Democrats actually were more hawkish on this issue fairly recent ago. There was a time not too long ago when Dems were expressing a desire/need to prevent illegal immigration. Obama was dubbed the "deporter in chief" in Mexico with how he smashed deportation records under his watch. Hell, just look at old SOTU speeches from Clinton/Obama each sounding a lot like Trump imploring Congress for a border wall, ect.

    Worth a thorough and rigorous investigation at the very least. Unturn every stone surrounding that family just to be safe. Like no doubt his crackhead, perverted [uck fay] up of a son was appointed to the board of Ukrainian energy firms because of his vast knowledge and expertise of Ukrainian energy.

    because it’s the uniparty running things

    neither side is going to do anything unless forced by the public.

    He got the job because of Joe. Doesn't mean they were guaranteed access or anything but he was given the job 100% because of who his father is in hopes that it might help them. Its not a good look but I have to believe even Joe is not this stupid.

    It's not whether Biden or (fill in the blank with most career politicians) haven't done things deserving of impeachment and removal or otherwise formally removed from office. It's whether it can be proven in the public eye sufficiently to make their cohorts come together to collectively believe their risk in not backing the removal is more severe than doing nothing.

    Dude knew diddly poo about energy policy in The Ukraine and was given a board seat somehow. He was making bank monthly while arranging golf outings with his father and Burisma execs. And that's just one shady example involving The Ukraine over the years. Add in the alleged CCP stuff they are potentially connected with, ect. and you've got justification for a very thorough investigation.

    Using a spouse/child as a conduit to act/trade/peddle on behalf of a powerful US politician relative is oftentimes how these DC folks play the game. Pelosi's husband and Trump's son in law being prime examples of this. Also, I'm pretty sure most of us who are paying close enough attention are well past the point now of having to keep pretending that the suspicious crap detailed on his laptop was only "Russian disinformation". Might as well fully dive in and figure out if there's anything to the "The Big Guy" Hunter was referring to in his communications who supposedly was requiring a % of his income he was making.

    Decent business idea to go to Brownsville and pay $50 for those free smart phones. Flip em. Turn a good profit

    Bas idea. The phones can't make calls or load other apps. It can only run the app. They have been around since the Trump administration, it is just a good Facebook meme to act like Biden is giving nice free phones out.
