Thugs take over The House Tomorrow. Let the impeachment circus begin.

Starting tomorrow, the Republicans will have control of the House of Representatives for the next two years.

President Joe is at the top of their impeachment list and they'll probably impeach him at least four or five times while they're in power. It won't matter, because the Dem controlled Senate "Trials" won't last more than a minute or two.

We can also expect them to impeach Dr. Fauci, (even though he's retired), Kamela Harris, (just because), Merrick Garland, (again, because they can), along with both Hunter Biden and his laptop.

This will be a stain on American history for centuries to come. Those not yet born will look back on this era and wonder how such insanity came about.

There are probably some "moderate" Republicans who are ashamed and embarrassed to be part of their party. They will probably speak up in years to come. But the time to speak up is now, so fuck those "so-called moderate" Republicans who are currently trying to remain invisible.

With all the human problems that need to be addressed, the Republican Clown Car is now center stage. The main stream media will be cautious, and the wing-nut media will sell us two more years of cruelty, hatred and madness.

Fasten your seat belts. We're in for a really ugly time. Fortunately, the Dem Senate and Joe Biden's veto should be able to stop the avalanche of pure crazy that is about to descend upon us.

1. I think it'll backfire on them.

The investigations will be pure show and will illustrate to most Americans that the GOP is not interested in governing. I’m liking our chances for 2024.

6. Their insanity has been on public display for the past six years

Yet, they still managed to eke out control of the House of Representatives.

Gerrymandering and voter suppression has a lot to do with this. Nonetheless, their dishonesty, their propaganda, their control of the red states, and their pure evil intent, makes us vulnerable to a possible fascist takeover.

Don't count on them to throw in the towel and go away. We're going to have defeat them and crush their movement as best we can. And even then, they won't go away. They'll just return to their caves and wait for the next opportunity. They'll never go away. Thomas Jefferson said, "The price of liberty is eternal vigilance."

11. The Republicans actually won the popular vote for the House of Representatives in 2022

Republicans garnered 50,113,534 votes, or 52.3% of the total vote, compared to 44,251,768, or 46.2% for Democrats.

So it seems the public is actually buying what they are selling ......

2. A vote for any Republican no matter stated position is a vote for chaos.

Let’s see if they can actually find someone who can be elected Speaker.

Just as long as they have their God and GUNS.

Nothing else matters except when their jobs, medical care, and financial security runs out.

4. I think any Dems they call to testify at their impeachment extravaganzas should just ignore

the subpoenas. Or if they do testify, simply state, "I don't recall" over and over and over.

Turn about is fair play.

5. They are going to showcase how dysfunctional our national government has become.

All due to them.

It does not bode well for the unity of the nation.

8. They are truly, "Domestic Enemies"

and many of them can only be considered to be terrorists.

We really cannot treat the crazies in The House as legitimate representatives of the United States government. If we do, we won't have a functioning government. That's their goal.

7. They will have to get through the "Choose a Speaker" circus, first.

It's already a shitshow, as there are multiple Republican Clown Cars, which are in a demolition derby at the moment. They're going to have to deal with Mr. Santos, as well. The saving grace is that these people are a bunch of fucking idiots. I wouldn' bet that they can successfully impeach Biden even once, let alone multiple times, or let alone impeach the others. I'm betting it becomes the whole 1996 Clinton fiasco, where they all wind up being exposed as lying hypocrites--but on steroids.
