Republicans pretend Trump was impeached for no legitimate reason.

And they promise to impeach Joe Biden as payback when they regain power.

I suppose an attempted coup and a threat to overthrow the government is not a legitimate reason to impeach?

What will they impeach Biden for? Stealing national secrets and taking them to a warehouse in Delaware?

I suspect this is all promised by Kevin McCarthy as a sop to Donald Trump to make him feel better?

Maybe, it might just backfire on them if they try such a trick?

this comes up on what high crimes and misdemeanors they claim Biden has committed.

4. Not like Joe withheld military support or tried to overthrow a government.

Nothing as trivial as that. It has to be far more serious like stealing soaps from the WH residence bathroom.

Such clownish antics from little Kevie will backfire spectacularly.

or, “The economy,” neither of which is a high crime.

7. Joe Biden will set the terms for Trumps punishment. Short of Imprisonment.

5 years house arrest, a gag order, and 5 years probation? Pukes talk a lot but Joe has all the Power over trump. I doubt they really care about him anyway. I was watching a red state college football game, wondering how all the red state young woman will be voting in the privacy of the voting booth. I think with us big time. Pukes can talk shit but they are fucked big time. IMO.

9. Probably an empty threat

Their base may *demand* it but I'm not sure that, without a clear and understandable pretext, they are going to be willing to actually do it. Remember how Darrell Issa declared the Obama WH to be the most corrupt in history when he was preparing to start "investigating" it but all of the investigations eventually fizzled and they never once tried to impeach him? I can't imagine Kevin McCarthy (if he somehow manages to evade potential criminal charges himself) actually figuring out how to actually do it. The most they will do IMHO is launch a few politically motivated investigations into Hunter Biden's laptop but nothing will come of it.

14. What happens if they do it and a subpoena is ignored, trump style?

They would probably drag the offender out of his office in handcuffs and leg chains. "We're the U.S. Congress, how dare you!"
