If you need another indication that the Republican Party has just become a racist cult that has no interest in improving the lives of Americans, and is ready to imperil the US to satisfy its base.

Ask any member of the Republican Party what they think the Democrats most unforgivable action was while Donald Trump was in office, and theyll all likely tell you the same thing: impeaching the GOPs lord and savior on not one but two occasions. (The close seconds obviously being the Dems acting mean to Brett Kavanaugh and their neglecting to pass a resolution formally making Ivanka Trump a princess.) There were, of course, very good reasons why the 45th president of the United States was impeached, first in December 2019 and later in January 2021. However, if you or a conservative you know cant quite recall what those reasons were, heres a reminder: Trump tried to extort Ukraine for his own political gain and incited a violent insurrection that left multiple people dead, both of which quite obviously fall under the high crimes and misdemeanors the Constitution mentions when it refers to impeaching and removing a president from office.
Joe Biden, on the other hand, has not committed such acts. But Republicans are not going to let that stop them when it comes to attempting to boot him from the White House!
Over the weekend, GOP representative Nancy Mace told Meet the Press host Chuck Todd that theres a lot of pressure on Republicans to vote to impeach Biden. Asked how she personally would come down on the issue, Mace said she would follow the Constitution, explaining that she would not vote for impeachment of any president if I feel that due process has been stripped away for anyone. In 2021, despite criticizing Trump for the events that transpired on January 6, she chose not to impeach him over the attack on the Capitol and attempt to burn democracy to the ground.

They will take a vote a week until they run out of reasons. The goal will be to completely tie up the senate and paralyze the nation.

(14,745 posts)It really is what the house decides it is.
It only takes a simple majority to impeach. That creates a tsunami of chaos in the senate.

(3,943 posts)Yeah... try it. Then at the hearing the Democrats can bring in all the evidence of how Trump negotiated with the Taliban, froze out the legitimate government, and set the date AFTER he got out of office.

(3,943 posts)As I recall it was OBAMA that brought the number of troops way way down. Trump didn't do a thing but try to take credit for everything.

(31,017 posts)What do these people spend their time doing, not studying what their job is. After Newt got away with impeaching Bill Clinton, they decided that that was a tactic to use every time they lost an election. Before that it had been rarely used. And it was considered to be a drastic measure. They knew then and they know now that the Senate wont convict. I guess the only reason they didnt impeach Obama was because they were afraid of the racism charge. Of course that was before Trump. They didnt convict him for obvious high crimes and misdemeanors, now we are having to deal with it in the justice system.

(19,065 posts)4 Republicans have already filed to impeach Biden over Afghanistan.
It's not some big mystery, they've already told us they're going to impeach him over the way we pulled out of Afghanistan.
It's equally ridiculous as inventing something, but it's not some mystery.
And we may hold the House and make that a moot point.
