Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

The nearly 300-page report is a summary of the investigation conducted by the House Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means committees over the past year and a half, nearly all of which has already been made public.

It argues that Biden enriched himself through his family’s business ventures and concealed his mishandling of classified information in office, the subject of the investigation conducted by special counsel Robert Hur, who declined to press charges this year.

In addition, the committees say that the Justice Department mishandled its investigation into his son Hunter Biden’s tax problems and that the White House has withheld key documents and witnesses from the impeachment investigation.

...

The investigators put the total at $27 million, according to the bank records they received. But the investigators failed to turn up evidence that Biden himself received money from those companies or participated in the foreign business deals beyond the occasions when Hunter Biden called him on speakerphone to exchange pleasantries while in the company of foreign business associates or when he saw them at his son’s birthday dinner.

Someone remind me... didn't Joe Biden drop out of the race? Wouldn't that mean that this transparent political hit job was a colossal waste of time on the part of the Republicans?

Is his seat never opposed during elections? He doesn't do anything but yell at things.

Check out his district. It's gerrymandered to all hell.

One of Indiana's most progressive towns, Bloomington, was gerrymandered into a separate district from the rest of the county based on very specific town borders despite the fact that the county as a whole is also very progressive and almost always votes Democratic.

Obviously in order to dilute the vote.

Yep, Bloomington is part of the rest of that pink district. Weird how that county sways Republican, isn't it?

So, while gerrymandering is a significant problem that we should be aware of, I believe in this case that Indiana House District 61 is Bloomington, and that lower one is Indiana House District 65, and just happens to be the same color on this map.
