In a lengthy report released on the first day of the Democratic National Convention, Republicans used circumstantial evidence to accuse the president of corruption tied to his son’s foreign business dealings.

House Republicans on Monday formally made the case for impeaching President Biden, releasing a lengthy report accusing him of corruption and seeking to allow his family to profit off his office in connection with foreign business deals made by his son Hunter, who has been charged with felony tax crimes.

In the 291-page document, released on the day that Democrats gather in Chicago to begin their party convention, Republicans call Mr. Biden’s conduct “egregious” and say he should be impeached for abuse of power and obstruction. But the report contains no proof that Mr. Biden, when he was vice president, engaged in any corrupt quid pro quo to benefit his son’s business partners, and Republicans admit they have no direct evidence that he ordered any interference into a Justice Department investigation into Hunter Biden.

      Because you’re using logic and reason. You can’t do that if you want to understand the republiQan base.

      It’s a cult. Very literally. There’s a supreme leader who cannot be questioned, and members risk being excommunicated for speaking against the cult. Plus 100 other ways.

      Extreme capitalistic (or “national socialist”, or religious) patriarchy is a gun to the head. That’s how it works. No discussion is requried, or wanted. Everything that seems “normal” about it is the edge of the cult where culture and language and all the human elements struggle between the cult and the real world.

      For the important supporters, they are invested and can’t cash out, the only way for them to make a return is if he wins.
