Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) pressured Republicans to name the specific crime they are accusing President Biden of as they proceed with their impeachment inquiry.
Ocasio-Cortez noted the recent arrest of a former FBI informant for lying to the agency, fabricating the claim that Biden accepted a bribe while vice president to take actions to benefit the Ukrainian energy company his son served on the board of.
“At this point, the story isn’t the fact that the basis of this impeachment inquiry is wrong. The story is, ‘Why it is proceeding anyway?’” she asked, saying Republicans have “no charges.”
“I have yet to hear in the chairman’s opening the allegation that they are specifically charging the president of the United States with. I am hearing about the ‘Biden family.’ I am hearing about this and that. I am not hearing the specific allegation by this committee. What is it? It is not here. And that is the problem,” she said.
If you want an example of how warped conservatives are:

Their coverage of this is decoupled from reality.
I actually visited that cancerous site, because I do like to keep up with what both sides are saying.
It was hard, but I did go and read the drivel and also watch the video.
I’ve got to say, folks, and who would’ve guessed it, but what they put on the page and what was in the video did not add up at all. AOC was asking the guy what specific charge they were bringing with them for the impeachment, and his first response was some smart ass thing. Okay, par for the course with these idiots, but I’ll keep watching.
She asks again, and he says RICO.

Which was not a SPECIFIC charge, it is a CATEGORY, which AOC even reminded him and the rest of the participants.
My tax dollars are paying for monkeys to wear suits, just to sling shit at each other. Good to know.
Even better.
They’ll get elected and then pass a law they know will arouse controversy, like abolishing Martin Luther King Day. They will use taxpayer dollars to defend the law while the Left has to spend donations that could have gone to other causes. They create a money drain for the Left, and the taxpayers foot the bill.
Seriously, one need only read a single paragraph of that page.
So they need to name two crimes in that category. In the world of legalese, this is honestly so easy to understand.
Pretty sure the thought process goes something like this:
Since Trump is being charged under RICO, we’ll point at Biden and say “Him too!”.
Can you change your link to this archive.org link? No need to give these assholes clicks. I even got it ready for you!

Now my thoughts on it: When I was in journalism class the biggest then they told us is that you don’t inject your own opinions. This article definitely does that.
Also, when people try to tell me how I should feel about something it becomes very clear to me that they think I’m stupid and they’re trying to manipulate me. Guess what else this article is doing!
I don’t understand how these people can claim to be “free-thinkers” while everyone else are “sheep” when it’s so clear how manipulative the media they consume is.
This part of that article in particular:
Like, all you need to do is watch the video they linked to see how bullshit that take is. Yet the forums I’ve seen with this article linked have conservatives cheering Bobulinski’s “measured response” as if he wasn’t bumbling though his answers because he has nothing.
Changed, thanks.
