President Joe Biden late Wednesday brushed off the House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry, saying the way he sees it, they launched the investigation against him because they want to shut down the federal government.

Biden, speaking at a Democratic fundraiser in Virginia, said that instead of being concerned about the probe, “I’m focused on the things the American people want me focused on.”

The president’s remarks were the first since Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the launch of a Biden impeachment inquiry while the Republican House leader is also struggling to shore up votes to fund the government and prevent a federal shutdown.

    Well I’m not really in the interest of defending him, in fact the less I know the better lol. I don’t want to drink whatever the hell is in the republican kool-aid. I just know he’s a private citizen so my giving a fuck ends right there.

      Totally reasonable. I guess I defended him because of my lizard brain. If they can make up bullshit about him, what could they do to me? So in a way, I’m subconsciously defending myself. I do care about private citizens who execute, or undermine, American foreign policy, though. All evidence point to his work, and that of his company, being extremely successful; just by the fact of how much Russian loyalists in Ukraine and America hate him.

      Shit, he probably did do a little spying.
