House Republicans may be moving full steam ahead with their impeachment inquiry into President Biden, but a GOP senator cautioned that the president might not be impeachable.
The whole point is to ‘normalise’ all the issues with Trump’s presidency so that the public just sees impeachment etc as a normal political process rather than a sign of something being seriously wrong.
Clinton’s impeachment was over a blow job in office. Bush jr was over lies and a cover up that brought us into a never ending war. Totally the same thing.
They don’t have to find a specific statute to charge him under, but they do have to present some sort of coherent accusation of wrongdoing to avoid looking quite so much like the absolute clowns they are.
They don’t care about looking like absolute clowns. They only care about appeasing Trump and MAGA base. Both say that Biden needs to be impeached. They don’t care why - just impeach him. If anyone says they look like clowns, they’ll just call those people “woke liberal elites working for Soros globalists” or “RINOs” (depending on whether they are Democrats or Republicans).
Then, if they lose their elections due to a blue wave, they’ll parrot Trump, claim voter fraud, and demand that they be installed into office because they won when you subtract all the “fraudulent” (read: Democratic) votes.
Normally I’d agree with everything you said, but the fact that they’re struggling with the impeachment process tells me they do need something more than just saying they don’t like him.
I paid attention to the legal side of things during Trump’s impeachments, so I’m quite sure “high crimes and misdemeanors” is open-ended and not limited to violating laws passed by Congress. It more or less means they can just make up a crime to fit the circumstances.
Why then are they struggling to find an accusation to charge him with? If you have another explanation, I’d love to hear it.
There’s no way the House GOP sees that as relevant, it’s not about the law or what’s just.

I don’t remember Bush being impeached?
He was not.

There was an attempt, but no house vote to imprach ever happened.
Wow, an actual bOtH sIdEs person in the wild. I thought people like you were a myth.
This is depressing.

I really don’t seem to be able to accomplish even that. I mean, just look at this shit show.
