Russia and Russian Agents

Rudy Guiliani's former associate calls out Trump and GOP leaders for knowingly spreading Russian propaganda and “pushing a false narrative" about President Biden.

The House Oversight Committee hearing to impeach President Biden dissolved into chaos when Guiliani's former associate called out Republicans saying, "The American people have been lied to, by Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani and various cohorts of individuals in government and media positions." Lev Parnes named individual GOP congressional leaders for spreading Russian "falsehoods to serve their own interests, knowing it would undermine the strength of our nation." Parnes added, "The only information ever pushed on the Bidens and Ukraine has come from one source and one source only: Russia and Russian agents."

False Derogatory Information

The heart of the House Republicans' case to impeach President Biden is based on an informant arrested for lying to the FBI and fabricating a story about the Bidens' taking bribes from a Ukrainian oligarch.

Republicans and right wing media are desperate to indict President Biden to distract voters from Donald Trump's multiple criminal and civil legal problems. Unfortunately, their star witness against Biden has just been arrested by the FBI. The 37 page indictment charges Alexander Smirnov for making false statements and creating a false and fictitious record. "Despite repeated admonishments that he must provide truthful information to the FBI and that he must not fabricate evidence, the Defendant provided false derogatory information.”

Dumb, Dangerous, and Un-American

Donald Trump has a long history praising authoritarian dictators and criticizing democratic countries. Now, he's threatening to let Russia attack our NATO allies.

Recently, Trump has been pressuring Republican lawmakers to block the bipartisan Senate foreign aid packet that includes military support for Ukraine. Trump also bragged at a rally that he threatened our NATO allies telling them if "You didn’t pay. You’re delinquent," and that he would “encourage [Russia] to do whatever the hell they want.” President Biden blasted Trump for viewing our NATO defensive alliance as a “protection racket.” Biden said that no US president “has ever bowed down to a Russian dictator,” and called Trump’s actions “dumb”, “dangerous” and “un-American”

An Unmitigated Disaster About Nothing

House Republicans hold a Bidden impeachment hearing without evidence as they force a government shutdown without reason.

With less than 2 days left to avoid a government shutdown, Republicans held a house hearing to impeach Bidden that failed to produce any evidence and was called an "unmitigated disaster," by GOP insiders. This failed to appease Trump's most loyal supporters in the house who are demanding unpopular budget cuts or they will force a government shutdown that a right-wing think tank called "the first-ever shutdown about nothing”

Red Meat for the Extreme Rightwing

To save his job, Speaker McCarthy caves to the rightwing extremists and orders an impeachment inquiry into Bidden without holding a House vote.

To distract voters from Trump’s multiple legal problems, House Republicans are launching an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. A White House spokesperson said, “McCarthy is being told by Marjorie Taylor Greene to do impeachment, or else she’ll shut down the government. Opening impeachment despite zero evidence of wrongdoing by POTUS is simply red meat for the extreme rightwing so they can keep baselessly attacking him.”
