Dems Warn Against Calling Bidens to Testify: It ‘Would Be Literally Rolling a Grenade Down’ the Senate
Daily Beast, Nov 7, 2019

Senate Democrats issued stark warnings on Wednesday that Republicans would severely damage the institution of Congress if they acquiesced to a push from Trump allies to haul former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter for testimony about their actions in Ukraine.

A top Biden ally, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), told The Daily Beast that calling the 2020 presidential contender—who served for 35 years in the Senate—and his son for testimony “would be literally rolling a grenade down the aisle of the Senate” that would have “lasting consequences” on the upper chamber’s ability to work together.

"Look, Joe Biden is well known, widely respected, and frankly beloved by many in the Senate on both sides of the aisle,” said Coons. “The impeachment process is already disruptive enough. I think we should be approaching it with seriousness, not by entertaining conspiracy theories that are utterly unfounded. And I think it would be a very unfortunate move."

If this were true, then The Daily Beast would have found a Republican to say it.  The fact that they had to rely on a Democrat to say it suggests that it isn't true.

How many "Stark Warnings" have the Rats given the GOP?

Note to the GOP.  Pull the pin 1st so the rats don't pick it up and throw it back.

False accusations against a Republican president with no demonstrable basis in fact = "impeachable offenses".
Documented evidence of Democrat corruption = "conspiracy theories".
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

They're warning against calling the central figure in their case to testify.

That this probably intimidates many on the other side of the aisle makes the whole thing even more hilarious.

What is unbelievable?   The capacity the DemocRats have for lying?  For hypocrisy?  For treasonous activities?  For unconstitutional laws that they ram through against the will of the majority of Americans?   For their rampant, anti-American sentiments?   For their radical ideology?   And on and on and on.

I find it extremely believable.... since I/we have been observing their deeds and words for decades now.  It's only over the past four years that their 'real' agenda and selves have been on display.... on steroids (due to the election of Trump). 

My moist dream?   I want every swingin d one of them behind bars, wearing orange jumpsuits for ...at the very least... the next 10-20 years.  If for nothing else, for their 'latest' coup attempt.   They care NOTHING about ruining the lives of anyone that is not one of their radical leftist elitist ranks.  They will destroy anyone that gets in their way or that thwarts their agenda.

If there was any real justice remaining in America..... that is exactly what would happen.  They would all be behind bars for life (they used to hang seditious traitors, after all).   Alas.... I fear that ship has sailed, sunk and is rotting at the bottom of this current political sea.
No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

You can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out of it.

That says more negative things about the US Senate than anything any of us can say.

Who is at fault for starting it. I know you are Dims,but are you REALLY so stupid you thought Trump was just going to roll over and play dead after being attacked?

Unfortunate for YOU buttholes maybe,but an enema America needs.

Exactly. When people who loathe you offer advice, doing the opposite may be appropriate. The Dems are trying to avert one of their greatest fears.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
