Democrats Say It'll Take A Lot More Than Eyewitness Testimony, Bank Records, Audio, Video, Complete Confessions For Them To Believe Biden Did Anything Wrong
2023-08-13
[BabylonBee] As evidence of bribery and corruption by the Biden family continues to mount, Democrat lawmakers in the nation's capital have expressed heavy skepticism, saying they will need a lot more than just eyewitnesses, financial records, audio and video recordings, and admissions of guilt from parties involved for them to believe any of it.

"Nah, I'm not buying it," said California Congressman Eric Swalwell. "If you're wanting me to believe President Biden and his family have been involved in a far-reaching money-for-favors scheme for years, you'll need to show me a lot more than rock-solid, irrefutable evidence. If the Biden family was corrupt, I think I would have heard about it from my Chinese spy girlfriend."

The Biden administration maintains absolute innocence, despite an ever-growing collection of evidence that would indicate otherwise. "The President and his family have done nothing wrong," said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who is a woman and also black and also gay. "It's completely normal for families to enrich themselves by selling political influence to foreign corporations and governments. Any assertion to the contrary is simply Republicans grasping at straws. Also, I will not be taking any more questions regarding bribery allegations."

As rumors swirled that additional audio recordings of President Biden accepting bribes may soon be released, Democrats continued to brush them off. "I see nothing wrong here," said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. "So he's on tape taking bribes. It's not like it proves he took bribes or something."

At publishing time, Republicans in Congress said they were waiting on several more truckloads of evidence before beginning impeachment proceedings.

#7  I'm pretty sure this has become so common amongst both parties that it was just business as usual. The swamp can't afford for anyone to crack that lid open a little more and see who else has relatives selling political influence and using illegal money hiding schemes to enrich themselves. there's a reason Chris Heinz ditched Hunter, that's where you can pinpoint the firewall in process.

#6  Their base believes the news. Consider what that means for a moment. To even the most casual observer the news presents a narrative that increasingly is at odds with observable reality.

The dem base prefers to believe the narrative they are presented, events be damned.

Further, consider what is meant by 'base'. Single, young-ish women. That same segment of the population that self reports the highest level of mental/emotional illness along with endemic levels of therapeutic drugs. They already navigate a scary fantasy land, BY. THEIR. OWN. ADMISSION.

That fantasy land is chiefly characterized by an extreme aversion to the raw edges of reality. That reality that most guys learn to deal with in kindergarten.

One of my former sisters in law famously opined on the origin of AIDS that it must stem from Africans 'sharing bananas with monkeys, you know, in the jungle'. Because after all, isn't Africa one big jungle? Understand this is a woman with a graduate degree and a ton of earned wealth. Oh, and a reflexive dem voter.

Closing thoughts? We have always had a social component of assorted nuts. We just never deferred to them to such a self destructive extent to avoid hurt feelings.
