something that some folks are considering'Mace was on NBC's Meet The Press on Sunday, speaking with host Chuck Todd who asked: "Do you expect an impeachment vote against President Biden if Republicans take over the House?"
The South Carolina congresswoman answered, "there's a lot of pressure on Republicans to have that vote, to put that legislation forward. I think that is something that some folks are considering."
To which Todd responded, simply: "Wow."
On Wednesday, Rep. Adam Kinzinger said a GOP-majority Congress might try to impeach the president every week. Kinzinger was referring to Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has made impeaching Biden part of her official platform.

(1,766 posts)They've nursed a big grudge for nearly 50 years about Nixon. Then they had salt poured into the wound after that with Clinton not getting convicted or resigning. Then more salt when Dotard got impeached twice
Do you really expect them not to do whatever they can to remove a Democrat from office?
Come on. They're not mature enough to admit their mistakes and move on. Every time they're in charge, they're looking for a way to boot a Democratic POTUS from office. They will try, try, try until they succeed.
Count on it.

(54,477 posts)He told them flat out that they needed 67 Senators to vote to remove from office, and they didn't have it, so the best they could do was to get the fiasco over with ASAP.

(47,711 posts)They spent years going after Bill Clinton, because they just couldn't handle a Democrat in the White House and they were still bitter about Nixon.
Any time a republican gets held accountable, they will look to take down some Democrat as payback. It is like dealing with petulant bullies on the playground. It is a never ending game for them.
The payback for Trump's two impeachments will last for decades unless republicans quit nominating corrupt politicians.

(19,253 posts)It's a nothing burger, Biden made some tough decisions, the types of decisions that sometimes get people killed, but save lives in the end. It's absolutely ridiculous for impeaching a President for making tough choices as the Commander in Chief.
A preview is that the GOP is going to say he ignored some general's advice in the methods with which we pulled out, to move back to the airport. Which will be 100% true, because like all responsible leaders, Biden asked for all sides of the issue and to be given all options. By definition he made a choice to follow some experts while ignoring other experts. There were experts telling him to do it exactly how it was done, those experts made a more convincing case. I'm sure he was given plans A, B, C, D, and E, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. The plan he selected resulted in 13 dead Marines, for all we know the other 4 plans would have resulted in 130 dead Marines.
We exited Afghanistan and US military is no longer dying there. It was a successful operation.

(24,452 posts)I'm feeling even more angry that we were told over and over again by the punditry and the MSM that we shouldn't go after GWB over his war of choice in Iraq, torture (which also killed people), etc. Also, GWB bungled Afghanistan badly too in terms of failing to capture all of the Taliban/AQ.

Does anyone really think they'll do any of that?
All they know how to do anymore is theater of the absurd. Why expect anything different from them?
I expect Biden to become the most impeached president of all time if they get in charge. They could very well impeach him every week, and on the occasional Saturday bonus round, if the mood strikes them.
We live in a country overflowing with morons whose whole lives revolve around ressentiment. This is the best we can expect of a government run by them.

(32,099 posts)Look what they had to resort to using to impeach Bill Clinton. They have just gotten crazier, and now they have the the Russian and their own propaganda machines behind them, not to mention a compliant media. Granted, if the Dems do hold onto the Senate, they're going to just be wasting their time, and likely pissing off the country.

(14,119 posts)(which I think they will), they would need 67 Senators to convict. Even in the worst case scenario theres no chance they get that many seats.

They have A BIG FAT PHONY ZERO amount of actual evidence?
Total bluff ploy to again potentially sway the swayables or keep dolt base in the same shape before: OBEDIENT?
They don't VET people or information, just USE it to affect?
The strategy of inconsiderate greedy user assholes everywhere?
The short of it is right NOW, democratic tolerance of this BS is close to ending I figure, and these elections in Nov.
IMHO Reps should continue to be OOB!
Otherwise, just over healthcare and inflation, it maybe be best that we leave, Spain is currently in the overseas lead, we got past the just idle chatting stage already, has to be crazy bad though, changing countries, FUCK! (I am pressing for just Canada)
Once gone you can deal with President Lindell, OK?
Republican party is just pathetic, just status quo by doing nothing but rehashing OLD shit for votes to stay and just keep rinse repeating the same shit that tanks economy every time and democrats fix, Republicans sabotage all the way, again and again?
WHO THE HELL CAN NOT SEE WHO THE PROBLEM IS? DEPORT EVERYONE OF THEM!
muhaha!
Well it is A solution?
