Let the Impeachment Shenanigans Begin

[Evangelicalhumanist]

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has just announced the opening of an "Impeachment Inquiry" into Joe Biden, this in spite of not yet one piece of actual evidence of any wrong-doing on his part. Does anybody see a weak speaker, with a gun pointed to his head, caving to save his gavel?

I hope it works. The best thing that could happen is to have Biden removed, have Harris be President for the last year, and then she can run as the incumbent. I think not only would she destroy Trump, she would beat anyone the Republicans could put up. She would beat Haley, Ramaswamy, she would make hamburger out of DeSantis etc.

 

[Friend of Mara]

Sure. Go for it. What is he getting impeached for?

 

[LuisDantas]

I increasingly wonder how come there are still people who vote Republican.

Heck, how come there are people who launch themselves as Republican candidates?

 

[fantome profane]

It is my understanding they have evidence that he spoke to his son over the phone.

Was this for drugs or hookers?

Was this for drugs or hookers?

It was because they are family.

It was to be expected.

Listen after 4 years of the D man I'm going to need Biden to be a little more interesting for me to care about his impeachment.

In other words:

Biden is boring, so ugly and disruptive right-wing attacks are no biggie.​

Do you think we should take that attitude into the voting booth?

No, that would be and is Trump. There is massive evidence against him.

Hmm, just what actual valid evidence was there in the Trump impeachment hearing?

Tons of it. Did you watch?

Why don't you look to the record in the House and Senate? In Trump's second impeachment trial, the House passed the article of impeachment on January 13, 2021, by a 232–197 vote. All 222 Democrats voted to impeach, joined by 10 Republicans. The Senate voted 57–43 to convict Trump of inciting insurrection, falling 10 votes short of the two-thirds majority required. But note that all Democrats and Independents -- and 7 Republicans -- voted to impeach.

Most importantly, after the Senate failed to convict, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell stated in the Senate chamber itself:

January 6th was a disgrace. American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of democratic business they did not like. Fellow Americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the Senate floor. They tried to hunt down the Speaker of the House. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the Vice President. They did this because they had been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth – because he was angry he'd lost an election. Former President Trump's actions preceding the riot were a disgraceful dereliction of duty. The House accused the former President of, quote, 'incitement.' That is a specific term from the criminal law. Let me put that to the side for one moment and reiterate something I said weeks ago: There is no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day.​

Well then, 20 years at least.

In the first case the evidence was so strong that the crooked Republican controlled Senate would not allow any to be presented.

In the second there was tons of it shown to the Senate, but the Senate still had too many dishonest Republicans. It is a shame that "dishonest" and "Republican" are two words that are now synonymous.
