If the R's do successfully impeach, that tells you the uniparty is planning on cutting Brandon loose, but even so, they won't convict him in the Senate, guaranteed.

FJB is gone. Count on it. Impeachment or not.

Don't think they will do Gavin as his midwest and east coast juice is non-existent. Trump would devour him on his CA record. There was once a time everybody loved what was coming out of CA, but that was the 60's/70's. Now, very few people view CA as a favorable environment, even many who live there.

I don't see a legal way for the dems to beat him. Explains the JD request to the Supreme Court. They are trying desperately to get him disqualified before the election because they know they are in a very bad position right now.

Doesn't matter. There are millions of weak-kneed Republicans who won't vote for Mr. Mean Tweets. And plenty of brain dead, and dead, Democrats who would vote for Adolf Hitler if he had a D after his name.

From what I saw on the news,

Blowing off the deposition was/is a strategic move on his part. Depositions behind closed doors can go on forever with endless questions. By appearing before congress itself which he intends to do, each rep generally is on a time limit to ask questions which is usually about 5 minutes per person.

Subtract from this time limit any bs going on between them and or other reps objecting if it gets out of line, so maybe a minute or 2 total time vs an hour or more otherwise.

Also Hunter wants it all to be public and not behind a closed door deposition and gives him the chance to plead the 5th if he has too.

All of what you said is meaningless. None of that is his call.

And Trump's kids sat for hours of closed door depositions - you don't hear the press bringing up that comparison. slewfoot's nonsense not withstanding. The subject of an investigation doesn't get to dictate how its conducted...

Or Hunter pulls an October surprise and offs himself. Then FJB and the dems, along with their corrupt media partners, will garner the sympathy vote. And of course Hunters demise was caused by republicans and talk radio.
The MSM narrative would be "MAGA killed Hunter".

I've tried to play this out in my mind; the end game. At a MINIMUM FJB will pardon him because FJB career is over and he still wants to show his son he is in his corner since he lost his honest son to sickness. If you want to see what it is like to watch someone die of dementia, vote FJB. It is unconscionable that the dems continue to press FJB to his death. They will get rid of Kamala, which will be another shit show, and then choose the successor to the throne via FJB death.

You have to figure that Kamala thinks she’s next in line.

That bulb lacks electricity. They would need to hide her even more than FJB.

What is the actual penalty for a No Show to a legislative body?
After all, it not a judicial body.
Inquiring minds want to know (and too lazy to do the research).

Quick; lets spread rumor that Hunter is about to spill dirt about the Clintons (to get a reprieve).

He'll die of COVID-or-suicide shortly.

Criminal Contempt of Congress - Bannon and Navarro were jury convicted of the same thing and Bannon sentenced to a short prison term - but it will prob be a cold day in hell if they treat Hunter the same....

You are seeing, and will continue to see, the double standards on blatant display going forward.
