Sen. John Fetterman on Republicans trying to impeach Biden: 'Go ahead, do it. I dare you.'
The Pennsylvania Democrat taunted House Republicans who are planning to launch an impeachment inquiry, calling it a losing strategy.
Sen. John Fetterman offered a message Wednesday to House Republicans considering impeaching President Joe Biden: “Go ahead, do it. I dare you.”
Speaking to reporters in his Senate office, the Pennsylvania Democrat suggested that the impeachment push by Republicans on the other side of the Capitol was meant to deflect from the mountain of legal problems facing former President Donald Trump.
"Your man has what, three or four indictments now?" Fetterman said. “Trump has a mug shot and he’s been impeached twice.”
"Sometimes you just gotta call their bullshit," he said.
The first-term senator went on to say that a Biden impeachment "would just be like a big circle jerk on the fringe right,” and "would diminish what impeachment really means."
Note: As pointed out by reddig33 in comments, this is an old photo. Here's a couple examples of his new look.
You're viewing a single thread.
It’s good to see a bipartisan consensus on impeaching criminal sleepy Joe
Is he sleepy or a criminal? Make up your mind.
Typical fascism. Your enemy is both weak and strong.
He’s sleepy and a criminal, there’s no contradiction there. Look at all the criminals that sleep in broad daylight on our city streets. Also I never said he was “strong”. A stiff breeze would probably knock him over
Ah, so his "crime" takes no effort and is on the level of a misdemeanor. Doesn't sound like much of a crime.
Low effort crimes are even worse than high effort ones. At least take some pride in your work, even if your job is doing crimes.
I see, so what low effort crimes has he committed in specific?
Too many to list. Stealing money from hardworking taxpayers to pay off the student loans for a bunch of lazy baristas for example. Losing the war in Afghanistan. Letting Hunter snort cocaine in the White House. Opening up the borders so just anybody can come in. Defunding the police. Bidenomics.
Stealing money from hardworking taxpayers to pay off the student loans for a bunch of lazy baristas for example.
Not a crime. He did not steal that money and this has already been dealt with by the Supreme Court. That also took a lot of effort. That wasn't a simple thing like changing a number in a spreadsheet.
Losing the war in Afghanistan.
Not a crime. Furthermore, Trump negotiated the end of that war with the Taliban and Biden had the very difficult process of doing it. He did do a terrible job, but that is not a crime.
Letting Hunter snort cocaine in the White House.
That simply didn't happen, don't lie.
Opening up the borders so just anybody can come in.
Also a lie.
Defunding the police.
Also a lie. He doesn't even have that power.
Bidenomics.
Not a crime, takes a herculean amount of effort.
Nothing you listed was a crime, a lot of it takes tons of work. So you have proven that he is neither sleepy nor a criminal. Good job!
You want me to believe he hasn’t done anything at all? Yeah right. What about when he raised taxes on the rich?
Is taxing people a crime? What the hell are you on about?
Don't feed the troll. He isn't here to argue in good faith, he just wants attention. Block and move on
Yes it is
What? Look, I really don't like Biden at all, but there is no "bipartisan consensus" or even grounds to impeach him. You can't impeach someone just because you don't like them.
Don't feed the troll. This dude makes bad takes for attention, I've seen him several times.
Republicans want to impeach sleepy Joe for his many crimes. And now we have this article of a democrat saying “go ahead”. I see that as bipartisan.
What crimes?
And this article does not say Fetterman is in favor of impeaching Biden.
Don't waste your time on trolls or idiots.
Too many countless crimes and schemes to count. He’s trying to turn us into a communist dictatorship. What about when he let that Chinese spy balloon take pictures of all our secrets?
Reading this as Richard Ayoade playing Morris Moss gave me a chuckle.
While enjoying a glass of milk.
Biden commits crimes in his sleep and you can't catch him red-handed? Ouch!
He’s been caught many times, you just bury your head in the sand and pretend it didn’t happen. Sad to see what the world is coming to.
Any evidence of that or you just blowing hot air?
He talked about doing crimes for his son Hunter on video. He said he extorted the Ukraine threatening to withhold money unless they fired the prosecutor that was investigating the company that was paying Hunter $50,000 a month.
Really? Any actual video, or is it just something you heard on Truthy Liberty Patriot (or whatever the current "grassroots" conservative bullshit generator is).
It’s a real video, Biden bragged that he got that “son of a bitch” (the prosecutor investigating his son’s company for corruption) within 6 hours of threatening not to give Ukraine a billion dollar loan.
Oh you mean this.
Shokin wasn't investigating Burisma....
Kaleniuk and AntAC published a detailed timeline of events surrounding the Burisma case, an outline of evidence suggesting that three consecutive chief prosecutors of Ukraine -- first Shokin’s predecessor, then Shokin, and then his successor -- worked to bury it.
"Ironically, Joe Biden asked Shokin to leave because the prosecutor failed [to pursue] the Burisma investigation, not because Shokin was tough and active with this case," Kaleniuk said.
Ukrainian prosecutors have described no evidence indicating that Biden sought to help his son by getting Shokin dismissed -- and have suggested that they have not discovered any such evidence.
But there is a long list of Western organizations, governments, and diplomats, as well as Ukrainian anti-corruption groups, that wanted to see Shokin fired.
They include the International Monetary Fund, the European Union, the U.S. government, foreign investors, and Ukrainian advocates of reform.
So, more Trump lies I guess.
Also, Biden didn't call the guy a sob, the quote is "well son of a bitch, they fired him".
Why was Biden’s crack head son getting paid exorbitant amounts of money by a Ukrainian energy company?
For access to Vice-President Biden. Did they get that access? So far, there is no evidence for that.
Why was Trump's son in law paid 2 billion dollars by the Saudi Royal family? Compared to Biden's $11 million (exorbitant, I agree), seems kind of urgent don't you think?
Why did Trump's son get 2 billion from the corrupt Saudi government.... literally the same crime you accused Hunter Biden of and you don't care??? Or it okay cause trumps son is on your team?
You know politics isn't a sports team? It's not tribal? Why can't you help yourself?
I don't know... therefore Joe Biden is the mastermind behind it all! 🤯
Get subpoenas, get search warrants, get testimony. Y'know, all the things they did against Trump. For the party of "law and order" the GOP sucks ass at investigating things. I read the text of the impeachment bill and can summarize as such, "Hunter is sketchy. His dad (then Vice-president) didn't stop his son's sketchy behavior." I mean this whole thing hinges on the fact they share DNA.
Then link the evidence. Stop just talking about it and actually share it.
Get off your ass and learn something maybe
The consensus being that it's stupid, just like those stupid trumpy nicknames.
You sound just like low energy Jeb
And you sound like a juvenile.
No, u
