Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Good luck, Captain Dipshit. You've spent years, and millions of tax dollars failing to find dirt on him, and you're going ahead with it anyway. And you wonder why the majority of this country find you to be less than intelligent.
It's par for the course after investigating the Clintons for nearly 30yrs and only coming up with Billy cheating on his wife. Bidens the new Clinton's as far as Republicans are concerned.
Idiots, the lot of them.
There is no such thing as a reasonable republican anymore. And frankly, it's debatable if any of them ever even made it through the Reagan era.
I like to imagine a future where Biden's impeachment leads to President John Fetterman and VP AOC.
Republicans are utterly useless. What's he being investigated for? "huuurrr we dunno... stuff!" Great job, Kevin.
I think we all understand this for the empty nothing-burger it is. That said: Hunter Biden testifying before congress would be hilarious! At least a month of Republicans complaining about how Hunter is rich, attractive, has a huge shlong, does drugs, gets any job he wants, and has women lined up to bang him on-demand.

Facking spineless weasel.
What an incredible dumbass.
Such a waste of time and money....
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption and warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives,” McCarthy told reporters Tuesday morning.
“That’s why today I am directing our House committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.”
McCarthy spoke for three minutes, did not take any questions and left the lectern shortly after making his remarks.
The House faces a critical Sept. 30 deadline to fund the government and avoid a shutdown.
McCarthy has been trying to hang on to support for a funding bill from far-right GOP lawmakers, who have been pushing to impeach Biden.
Republican leaders had been weighing whether to use an impeachment inquiry vote as a bargaining chip in the funding negotiations.
