BREAKING: Democratic star Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez obliterates the Republicans' hack witness during a hearing for the sham Biden impeachment inquiry.

This is one for the books...

"I have a quick question. Simple. Is it your testimony today that you personally witnessed President Joe Biden commit a crime?" AOC asked Tony Bobulinski, a former associate of Hunter Biden who has been doing MAGA's bidding.

"I believe the fact that he was sitting with me while I was putting together a business deal..." began Bobulinski.

"Did you witness the president commit a crime? Is it your testimony?" interjected AOC.

"Yes," said Bobulinski.

"And what crime have you witnessed?" asked AOC.

"How much time do I have to go through it?" he responded, evading the question.

"It is simple: you name the crime," she responded. "Did you watch him steal something?"

"Corruption statutes, RICO conspiracy, FARA..." he rambled, without offering any details.

"What is the crime sir? Specifically!" she said.

"You asked me to answer the question, I answered the question," whined Bobulinski, who had not answered the question. "RICO, you're obviously not familiar with, corruption statutes..."

"Excuse me sir! Excuse me sir. Excuse me sir," said AOC. "RICO is not a crime, it is a category. What is the crime?"

Bobulinski then whined, rambled, and dissembled without providing a specific crime. As usual, Republicans want to rely on vague assertions to do their dirty PR work. AOC reclaimed her time and then tore into the entire inquiry.

"Clearly, what we are seeing here today is a continuation of the fifteen month saga of the Republican majority lost in the desert," said AOC. "Impeachment 101, the majority party or whomever is raising impeachment must accuse the president of a high crime, a specific high crime or misdemeanor."

During another stretch of the hearing, AOC voiced the same issue—

"At this point, the story isn’t the fact that the basis of this impeachment inquiry is wrong. The story is, ‘Why it is proceeding anyway?’" she asked, pointing out that there are "no charges" on the table.

"I have yet to hear in the chairman’s opening the allegation that they are specifically charging the president of the United States with," she went on. "I am hearing about the ‘Biden family.’ I am hearing about this and that. I am not hearing the specific allegation by this committee. What is it? It is not here. And that is the problem."

“The story is when this committee knew they were working with falsified evidence? That is the story," she added.

Well said congresswoman! This impeachment inquiry is an utter disgrace and a complete waste of taxpayer dollars. All that it proves is that Republicans have nothing to hit President Biden on. The sooner it concludes, the better.

Please hit the and pass this on if you think that AOC nailed it — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Maryann Abela plugs in her electric vehicle to charge at home. (Charlsie Agro/CBC)

The Leaf's range is 342 km, but given the car wasn't fully charged, they were prepared to stop to charge along the way. Abela planned ahead, googling the locations of fast chargers along the route, never anticipating that none of them would be operational.


She should have bought a Tesla.

I have not had a single problem charging my Tesla Model S anywhere in the country (coast to coast) on Tesla's numerous Superchargers.

None

And that's in over five years driving it!

The (Canadian) federal government has regulated that by 2035, all new vehicles sold must be electric.

There are few countries less suited for an idiotic EV mandate than Canada. Geographically huge, sparsely populated, vast distances to travel outside of urban areas, battery killing ice cold winters, and to top it off, they're currently contributing virtually fuck all towards the supposedly human caused "climate crisis" farce.

If Canadians aren't smart enough to shit can Trudeau and his greenie fascist liberals, then they can pay the price and live with the consequences.

In the US, when Trump is re-elected, he'll deliver a well overdue smack down to the out of control EPA. Can't come soon enough..
