An Ohio representative from Clermont County announced Monday he has drafted articles of impeachment against Gov. Mike DeWine for his response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rep. John Becker (R-Union Township, Clermont County) said he has drafted ten articles of impeachment against DeWine, citing the governor's actions, like implementing a statewide mask mandate, as "abuses of power."

The announcement comes after Becker said DeWine vetoed Senate Bill 55 and threatened to veto Senate Bill 618 and Senate 1 which would limit the governor and other state officials' authority during the pandemic.

1. Cannibalizing their own

This is too fitting. The Trumpanzees are eating their own.

2. Fwiw, I think Dewine has been a credit to his party.

If a Republican is going to govern Ohio, I’d prefer it be him.

5. You know he is anti choice & tried blocking women's essential care the early days of the pandemic?

He did right with the masks, until he caved.

But he is a suck governor in general

[Quackers]

7. Of course he's anti choice. He's a Republican.

As I said, if a Republican is governing Ohio, I’d prefer it be him. Not who his replacement will be if the impeachment is successful.

10. The 133 session of the Ohio General Assembly ends 31 December 2020

If you live here, you already know the only thing they have done quickly was put in their last raise in Dec18.

This is more a warning shot at his reelection efforts in 2023.

19. I wish we would stop saying "anti choice"..

IT'S "FORCED BIRTH" OR "FORCED BIRTHERS"

[JI7]

22. no anti choice is better

[AZ8theist]

24. your opinion.

[maxrandb]

14. No! No! No!...my God NO!!!!

They Koch Brothered the fuck out of Ohio, and with their miniscule 0.05% win, they gerrymandered the fuck out of Ohio to the point that Retrumplicans could get 47% of the state's vote and win 86% of its representation.

Dewine had a fucking First Class seat and a hand in all of that.

It's like saying Jeffrey Dahmer was a decent neighbor because he only ate out of towners.

Right now...every Retrumplican must be treated like they are the dog shit stuck in the grooves of your shoes.

They must be scrubbed out.

We can try to find decent Retrumplicans after the entire current group is washed out.

20. "It's like saying Jeffrey Dahmer was a decent neighbor because he only ate out of towners.

LOL! Classic!!

3. Most Republicans here would like us to emulate Mississippi.

Instead of our current 4.1% infection rate, we could be like them with a rate close to 40%.

4. Lt Govenor Husted...

I'm guessing he is sitting back with special grin on his face.

11. Husted and LaRose. Maybe Yosts ego will puff up too

Bluster-filled ego on steroids

8. "Republicans eat their own"

I have heard, that "Republicans eat their own" from Republicans. I did not know what they meant. To-day, i read three Republicans in the Ohio House have written articles of impeachment against DeWine. The article called them "conservative Republicans". DeWine is a conservative Republican. All the other Republicans in the State House are "conservatives". Why is the term "ultra-conservative" not used? After all, if any Republican does not go along with the party line, he is attacked.

I saw this in 2004 when gwbjr was criticised. Republicans said these people were not conservative. After 2006, when everyone acknowledged that gwbjr was a failure, Republicans said he was not a true "conservative". How disgustingly crazy does one have to be, to be considered "conservative" enough?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

9. Yep, it's easy to become a "RINO" in their ranks.

It seems like Fox News sets their current policy, and any minor deviants will quickly get that label.

Edit: Then they finally got their dream candidate -- the Fox News watching Trump. (Who pretty much repeated what he saw on TV since he doesn't read.)

[rustbeltvoice]

12. I have long thought...

the Republican Party was a fascist party. I keep remembering films, and stories of the German fascists of the 1930s and '40s, when a person (member) was egged on, or required to do the test. Are you a loyal German? Heil Hitler!

Trumpsters are members of an idiot cult, with a horrible worshipped idol. This did not happen in a vacuum. The reaganistas, the busheviks, the mouthfoamers on talk radio and Fox, the teabaggers are all part of the same bubbling cauldron--far worse than MacBeth's witches.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

13. Yes, they're horrible.

It's not hard to see the similarities with the Nazis, but also with historical puritans who accused people of witchcraft and such.

Back when I was doing genealogical research, I came across a suspected ancestor whose group of puritans from London had quickly left Massachusetts to form another settlement because of the constant accusations of impurity they had witnessed.

15. A co-sponsor to the articals of impeachment said this:

WTF!

16. Gettysburg

She was kicked out of the Gettysburg museum in July for refusing to wear a mask .She also was defeated in the gop primary for state Senate so she won’t be around much longer

[Buckeye_Democrat]

17. What an idiot!

Those types of people think this way:
1. I WANT such-and-such to be true.
2. I'll try to invent ways to support it.

Republicans can be decent lawyers sometimes because that's how many of them operate too -- e.g., arguing for a particular client that's guilty or wrong.
It's certainly not a scientific approach to understanding the world.

18. New Ohio House Speaker, Bob Cupp(R) says, No, we're not doing impeachment

((Also I forgot the guy who posted the articles of impeachment wanted fallopian tube pregnancies reimplanted in the miscarrying woman's uterus, yeah that Becker))

21. When I first heard this, I thought "It's not going anywhere"

But it got some crazies their latest moment in the spotlight and that's about all it's worth.

Sorry, folks, from the saner people of Ohio.

23. I guess DeWine wasn't Republican enough for them.

He acted as a reasonable person and not like a freaking maniac.
