I scanned an article earlier which suggested that Biden might be being impeached as a result of dealings with his son - is this true? Is it likely to happen and what are the implications if so? I hate Trump but ultimately if Biden is guilty of wrongdoing as well then he must be held to account.

Not surprised. They been crooked for years. But he’s so old so does it really matter. The son should be the one that gets the sentence anyway.
One has to be blind not to know that everyone up there in Washington have taken bribes, money, cash, companies, buy stocks and pass laws to profit on the stocks, and to obtain power. It’s well known. From the Clintons to pick a name any name in Washington.
One of my friends tried to go that route until he found out how corrupt the system was as an attorney. He backed away and wanted nothing to do with the political world. He stated it is one of the most corrupt but functioning systems. It’s all about saying things that you don’t believe in to get votes and lots money. I’ve been asked to run for office. I think i will not…. No thank you! I said both dems and republicans are crooked and are there only to cause you to fight and be negative and cause a rift. (((Which causes ordinary people that are far left/right political whackos blowing hot air in both sides))) I’m not into that game of lies and propoganda.

An excellent reason why you should refuse to take part. You need to remove yourself from the process entirely. I must admit, I'm stunned that anybody would have been stupid and malicious enough to ask you to run for office. That's monumentally ignorant.

Are you ever going to stop being nasty to people, Kelly? No, I am not going to censor you or ban you or whatever - you are not a child. But what's the fucking point? If you don't like Brett then just stop fucking talking to him.
Yeah, I am in a bad mood. Back off, anyone who is thinking of coming near.

If you don't like Brett then just stop fucking talking to him. Prolly not. I keep trying to 'just stop fucking talking to him'. Then, he just goes and lays down another line of inane bullshit which keeps demonstrating his complete lack of training in civics. Take what I offer as 'helpful guidance', instead of 'nasty'. Besides, given what he stated in the post to which I responded, I'm unclear as to how it is 'nasty'. I've recommended that he remove himself from a process which he considers irrevocably corrupt, and expressed dismay that somebody might think him corrupt enough to want to participate such a process in any significant way. Have I not commended him?

Look, Kelly, post what you like - as I said I am not going to censor you and I do not want anyone else to do so either. But I have reached a stage where I am seriously pissed off with my fellow human beings and I can and will say what I like as well, if and when people get too much for me.

Most excellent. That sounds a proper upgrade.
Recently, in a grating exchange with my neighbor, she confronted me by telling me I was being an SOB and I'd "attract a lot more flies if I used honey instead of vinegar." It's a quaint little aphorism about being more likely to obtain your objective if one is friendly in approach. I turned on her and asked her, "First, why the fuck do you want to attract a bunch of flies?" Then, "Second, have you actually empirically tested your hypothesis? Because I think you are completely and utterly wrong. Honey has antibiotic properties and does not attract flies; it barely attracts ants. However, if you pour out a capful of cider vinegar and leave it, within hours you will have a cloud of fruit flies. A shipload of them. QED, your assertion is absolute shit." Finally, "In my personal experience, leading with excessive friendliness in conflict exchanges seems to signal to a certain predatory portion of the human population that the person is an 'easy mark' and will attempt to take advantage. You can go about your life however you wish, but I'd suggest you protect your own interests a helluva lot closer than you are, and give up telling other people how they should act when dealing with your tantrums."
I still stand by that.
I refrained from telling her that the absolute best way to attract a lot of flies would be to drop a turd. I doubt that she thought that through; she's not that bright.

BACK ON TRACK:
I will note here that there is a quaint disconnect from reality upon the part of the House GOP whackjobs. Not only is there no evidence of anything close to an impeachable offense by the current president, while the former, twice impeached, four times indicted, with 91 felony charges pending against him, lying asshat loser president is publicly calling for the execution of his own Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff because the bloated loser is displeased. This same coprocephalic is also urging a shutdown of the entire government to bring his prosecutions to a halt.
Why anybody takes the GOP seriously is beyond me. They are naught but sniveling toadies to a wannabe criminal mob boss. A cult leader. This is American politics at this point.
Just watch, when Donny the fuckwit is finally convicted, expect a throwdown screamin' fists and feet temper tantrum as he attempts to fulfill his wetdreams with his stochastic terrorism.
Then, we'll find out who drank the Kool-Aid.

The Republicans can't decide whether Biden is 'Sleepy Joe' who wanders through the White House in a semi-catatonic state, or 'Dark Brandon', hatching all manner of devious and malicious plots against civilization and decency.

Nevertheless, there are many serious (and honest) businessmen in the UK who take the GOP seriously despite them being 'snivelling toadies to a wannabe criminal mob boss.' Understanding why this is the case whilst having no interest in their criminal activities is of distinct value in dealing with them imo. One can understand them and at the same time completely disagree with their aims in life. Such is politics.

The only thing they really and truly accomplished was to give billions of US taxpayer dollars to their rich corporate friends, who do not need it and will only stow it away in dicey banks in places like Bermuda, Manx, Jersey, Guernsey, Bahamas, and, of course, Grand Cayman, (and liberally crossing the palms of their toadies in the halls of governance) thereby exacerbating the already skewed income equality nationwide. This is because they know quid quo pro front to back. Democrats expect them to have morals, even if merely rudimentary. I'm fairly sure they find this annoying; they are businessmen, after all. In my experience, honest businessmen are unicorns. Adam Smith himself noted that businessmen of the same trade could not meet for a pint that it did not result in a conspiracy against the public. That the master philosopher of capitalism would dismiss the idea of 'honest' businessmen out of hand should give pause.

Lickspittals. Corrupt puppets, bought and paid for.

Y'all do know that Trump has been legally found to be a sexual molestor. And, to have been a complete business fraud, both tax and insurance. Those civil liabilities have been adjudicated and a verdicts delivered, but are still in the court system, trying to determine the extent of financial damages to assess.
The criminal charges are still working their way through the court systems (four separate court systems), including RICO (racketeering) charges in Georgia. State crimes, not federal.
All while he promises payback and demands that the country be thrown into financial chaos in an attempt to get off scot-free. He wants everything with no consequences.
The former president is a stochastic terrorist.

In other US political news, US Senator Robert Menendez (Democrat from New Jersey) has been indicted on corruption charges. Note that Democrats are calling for his resignation, while with the ongoing breaking stories about the corruption at the Supreme Court, all we hear from the GOP is crickets... GOP mum on Menendez flap.

Trump and his associates in the Republican Party, the GOP, are practically the epitome of corruption.
They are not the only corrupt actors in Washington, but they are the most brazen, uncaring, and calloused of the corrupt. Trump commits his corruption out in the open and challenges any and all to do anything about it. When anybody does, he demonizes them and sics his mass of unwashed morons to terrorize them. Trump is the ultimate shithead.
And you are now ready to go to bat for a poster who voted for Trump and, by his very posts here, continues to ignore the bold reality that it is he and his ilk, business owners with too fucking much money on hand and a misguided understanding of the rules of capitalism, who have decided to purchase Congresscritters, Supreme Court justices, and important bureaucrats to advance their own interests over that of the general populace?
Eddie IS the problem. It is business asshats like him who are fueling all that corruption. Business people who use their ill-gotten gains to lubricate the wheels of government to serve their needs and interests. We didn't get corrupt politicians by some kind of magic...somebody had to buy them. Somebody with lots of money to throw away on speculative ventures like influencing government factors.
What is so bizarre is to see Eddie metaphorically cut his own throat. He has aligned himself with the political interests which are intent upon demonizing and marginalizing the very minority community of which Eddie is a part. All for profit.

So...Now that Speaker McCarthy acquiesced to the demands of the MAGA whackjobs to open an 'investigation' into a Biden impeachment, subsequent action over the budget and keeping the government functional has resulted in the removal of McCarthy under the rules he negotiated with the whackjobs to obtain the Speaker position. Ironically, the whackjobs only successfully removed the Speaker with the assistance of the entire Democratic complement in the House. Of course, he was removed for working with the Democrats. The stupid just does not end.
Now, with no speaker, the House GOP is in chaos. Trump has been seriously floated as a temporary Speaker and he is leaning in to it. The thing is, the House Republican Caucus has a set of rules and one of those is that leadership which has been indicted, and faces two or more years of incarceration, is required to step down. Well, Trump presently faces four indictments for 91 felony counts and only dog knows how many potential years imprisonment. Plus, he doesn't know shit about how to run the House, so it was be a major shitshow were he to ascend. Once they determine that they won't violate their own rules, the nation will be faced with two GOP reps who are both besmirched with unsavory pasts to ascend to the Speaker position.
And, if it were not bad enough, today news was released that Citizen Trump had unveiled nuclear submarine secrets to a non-national, who, in turn, repeated it to 45 of his associates. This was the dipshit who last week was calling for the execution of the chairman of his Joint Chiefs of Staff for talking down the Chinese during our Trump-induced crisis.

So, it's now two weeks down the road from the Freedumb Kakas leadership unseating McCarthy and we are nowhere near any kind of sane resolution.
And GOP reps have taken to blaming the Democrats for their inability to select their own leadership. What tortured fucking logic. They expect the members of the party upon which they just pissed all over to pull them out of their self-inflicted stupidity. That's a telling indicator of what clueless coprocephalics GOP 'leadership' are.
And...How's that investigation into the 'Biden Crime Family' going? **rolls eyes and snorts in derision**
