    OK, Joe Biden doesn't know anything about Trump's talks with Zelensky, WH meetings or the military aid hold up, but best of luck with that.

    Glad to hear it!

    Since the transcripts show that Trump asked for President Zelensky to cooperate with the Attorney General re; the Biden(s), it seems that there actually is a DoJ investigation.

    Are you encouraging a civil war?

    So what?

    Just because they Can, Doesn't mean they WILL.

    While Republicans who control the chamber could force testimony on a majority vote, there's no assurance all Republicans would go along with such a plan.

    ^So, there's that.

    weird on one hand all Republicans are corrupt and at the same time your saying they won't go along with a plan to subpoena Biden... Seems like conflicting viewpoints

    I doubt that especially given Roberts will be in the Chair.

    I blame all of them. How many years have Republicans held congress and done nothing?

    You would have to ask a democrat. In my mind telling someone what result you expect in exchange for millions in aid is corruption.

    It’s cute y'all have twisted your minds to believe trump cares about corruption.

    I'm on the right and you cant quote me calling for a war, sweeping generalizations of a group are just silly. If 60+ million Americans (who represent the majority of gun owners) wanted a civil war, it would be here. Post fail

    Biden's testimony is totally irrelevant but I'm all for locking him up right next to Trump. Landslide for Buttigeig.

    You are correct, I often find myself making the same statement when others do this.

    I should have said virtually all of the threats I have seen for a civil war have come from those on the right.

    Why do you think Roberts will interfere in the Senate trial in your favor? Do you personally know him?

    So, there's that?

    There's what?

    Pulling quotes out of your *** means diddly squat.

    Why do you feel the GOP would be dumb enough to Subpoena someone who has nothing to do with Trump's impeachment?

    Wait, never mind. It's the GOP, they are ****ing stupid.

    Why do you feel the GOP would be dumb enough NOT to expand the stupid Democrat partisan witch hunt?

    Wait, never mind. It's the GOP, they are smarter than the Democrats.

    Joe won't ignore the subpoena. He understands the rule of law and constitutionally mandated powers.

    Do you always throw up dumb partisan strawman of hypothetical future actions to amuse yourself?

    Inquiring minds want to know.

    I do not know him at all other than he is CJ on SCOTUS. I do not think he will interfere to favour anyone.

    That would be a brave move.....to over-rule the Chair occupied by CJ of SCOTUS.
