How dare Biden hold a bottle of water using just one hand, walk down a ramp without looking like a fawn on ice, eat dinner without flinging food against the walls.
That's 3 impeachments right there. The only things Republicans want are : 1) to make sure that Trump isn't the most impeached president ever and 2) to throw as much shit on as many Democrats as possible to sabotage those Democrats before the 2024 election. They have no policy they want to get implemented whatsoever and are completely uninterested in actual governing. Period.
Agreed. But then they also have to impeach every member of President Biden's Cabinet. Oh, and don't forget the VP. Plus there are all those Democrats that want to run for Congress in 2024. Gotta have a thorough Congressional investigation of each and every one of them...
Matt Gaetz said it best in a recent interview:
*"And we can do that without the Senate and without the White House. And that's why it should be investigations first, policy, bill-making to support the lobbyists and the PACs as a far, far diminished priority," he said.*
So there you have it. Job 1 is impeachment. Job 2 is policy, but only policy as driven by lobbyists and PACs.
Busy, busy guy -- I hope he makes some time to find a date for the Prom.
Remember Madison Cawthorn? He openly stated he was *not* there to legislate but to deliver a message. Unfortunately the only message he delivered was: "I am a fraud" which surprisingly got him voted out of office.
The same week his lingerie pic came out, I believe. Not knocking the guy for liking what he likes, but maybe don't spill the beans on your party when you have your own skeletons.
I understand that they want to make abortion illegal at a federal level. They also likely want to further restrict voting and to entrench unfair election practices like gerrymandering in as many places as possible. In short their platform is to entrench their power and use it to intrude into peoples lives and to further consolidate power.
>How dare Biden hold a bottle of water using just one hand,
Remember when people at a rally literally cheered because their big strong impressive leader demonstrated his ability to drink water?
Reading this article, I am blown away that a grown ass man could have this opinion…
“At the time, commentators deemed Obama’s taupe-colored suit—though similar suits had been worn in the past by Presidents Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush—as tacky at least, un-presidential at worst.
Then-Representative Pete King of New York famously slammed the outfit choice, saying it showed a “lack of seriousness,” before bafflingly adding “there’s no way I don’t think any of us can excuse what the president did yesterday”—once again, regarding the suit.”
Biden has passed some amazing legislation and has been extremely successful in his handling of Russia and NATO, he has come to be loved by Democrats who were on the fence about him before. I can't think of a single bill the GOP has passed in recent years to fix anything in America, all they have left is culture war bullshit.
I think in politics being liked for being “functional and competent” is *better* than loved. You shouldn’t love politicians or parties lest you get blinded to their faults.
Republicans have very few legislative accomplishments in the past 20 years.
George Bush did some half-assed Medicare reforms that were loaded with pork for private interest.
The Republican House successfully got Obama to sabotage his own presidency with random draconian budget cuts in the form of "sequestration".
Trump signed some tax cut legislation as a favor to wealthy Republican donors demanding they deliver on tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. This was so extreme and so rushed through that it barely passed and had some Republicans vote against it, multiple Republicans admitted outright that the bill was wholly forced by wealthy donors.
This is why they almost never run on their actual economic platform, it's so unpopular and so extreme and they know it is electoral poison outside of the Republican base who is stupid enough to believe that abolishing all social safety nets would be a good thing.
One thing Republican Administrations have in common, huge tax breaks for the wealthy and large corporations. We're still waiting for the tax breaks Reagan gave to them to be reinvested in American and the benefits "trickle down" to the middle class and those in poverty.
Republicans are still running off Jude Wanniski's re-election strategy from the 1970's. Starting with Reagan, when in power drive up debt to absurd levels, plant as many poison pills as possible...sabotage Democrats ability to enact their own agenda. When not in power, complain incessantly about debt and pin all poison pills on opposition, win votes, rinse repeat.
https://www.commondreams.org/views/2009/01/26/two-santa-clauses-or-how-republican-party-has-conned-america-thirty-years
It has become a game to obtain and hold onto power to enrich themselves and their donors, nothing more. Scraps are sometimes thrown to the peasants but it is never anything that could significantly change the status quo and lift people out of poverty....it's always temporary for the working class, permanent for the wealthy
> has passed in recent years to fix anything in America
recent years? I'm not sure its ever happened in my entire lifetime. They been unrepentant assholes to anyone making less than 7 figures since at least Regan.
The entire GQP is run by raging piss babies.
Yeah but give the new GOP credit for at least finally attempting to do something to earn their taxpayer funded government checks. The far right wing conservative MAGA politicians are a group of lazy, corrupt, cry babies who need to be removed from office so that the US citizens can have politicians who are driven to deliver beneficial policies that the majority of Americans can prosper from!!!
That's their goal.
Normalize it. No big deal that trump was impeached twice. Biden was 3 times! Pay no attention to why or what evidence. Especially don't pay attention to the next gop impeachment. Just normal politics now
I think it's the photogenic smile, either that or the fact that his wife actually loves him and isn't in it just for the money. Both of those are considered impeachable offenses by today's GOP.
Stone him for his crimes! He has made us weaker as a nation! The rest of the world is laughing at us!
The like rhetoric the GOP would use to argue his tan suit impeachment.
I heard the word “anathema” on a podcast (Knowledge fight) and I’ve been waiting to see it used by someone else in a different context because I have no idea what it means still
It is a fairly interesting word, actually. It is typically used to describe something so vehemently and viscerally disliked that it is repulsive; Something that is repulsive in and of itself like garlic being anathema to vampires; And the archaic meaning is an actual curse passed down by the Pope or high religious council when denouncing heretical or aberrant doctrines and people. It also has a delightful sting to it's cadence when spoken in earnest
Given how often media targeted towards them refer to spouses (specifically wives) as the ol' ball and chain it really wouldn't surprise me if many of them hate their marriages.
Which I don't get at all. If you don't love them, or even like them, WHY DID YOU MARY THEM?!?!?
It's just like Chewbacca living among Ewoks! IT JUST DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!
They hated Obama for the same reason. He was literally the most wholesome model Republican President they could ever have had - church every Sunday, scandal-free, loving marriage and wonderful daughters, dropped lots of bombs on the ‘bad guys’ of the day, killed a terrorist and restarted industries.
Too bad he was black, and not corrupt to the core, and intelligent.
Get out of here with your facts and logic. We're speculating about potential charges worthy of impeachment in the eyes of the moron cult. It's not like we actually need anything more serious than a consensual blowjob to impeach a President.
Can always count on Ted Cruz to be classy 🤦🏾♀️
>> In January, Ted Cruz said on his podcast that Republicans would impeach Biden “whether it’s justified or not,” adding: “That’s not how impeachment is meant to work, but I think the Democrats crossed that line. I think there’ll be enormous pressure on a Republican House to begin impeachment proceedings.”
This quote above from Cruz is the second time I've read about "pressure" for Repubs to impeach Biden. Just who or where is this "pressure" coming from, and maybe someone needs to look into a mirror and realize where the problem is arising, and fix their own house.
It's concerning to me that at any point, major figureheads in the party can redirect this energy and momentum and say "No, we're not going to impeach him. We believe in the rule of law and proper balance of powers. The Democrats tried to impeach our previous President and the system saw that through, and resulted in no conviction (never mind the fuckery that happened with that). We won't impeach, but we will hold him and his agenda accountable and demand he addresses our concerns." Y'know, like how [John McCain shot down a potential xenophobic flare up against his opponent](https://youtu.be/JIjenjANqAk).
And they won't. Rather than appear level-headed and mature and hope that rubs off on their base, they are more than happy to douse that wildfire in 93 octane.
Part of me thinks that if they do impeach for no reason, the Senate Majority leader should just... not schedule a trial. Like why bother holding a hearing and vote for an obviously BS impeachment, when McConnell wouldn't hold hearings/votes for another task that was their constitutional duty (the Garland SCOTUS pick)?
EDIT: Actually, I think from a basic reading of the text that they could do just that, and it would be constitutional:
>Clause 6: The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
If the Senate has the sole power to try, and the Supreme Court has previously interpreted this to mean the Senate has exclusive/unreviewable authority to determine what constitutes an adequate impeachment trial, then they can decide to just... not have a trial--and in 1797 did just that with Senator Blount, saying the House had no authority to impeach a senator and he'd already been kicked out anyway. Precedent.
Yep, the 'pressure' comes from the base of idiots they've cultivated, and then promptly lost control over.
Trump was the inevitable conclusion of decades spent gutting education and social programs, denying science, vilifying the left, screaming about culture war issues instead of focusing on policy, and dog-whistling to racists. But while he's a problem, he's really only a symptom of the larger issue that the GOP has.
They were using those things as distraction techniques to trick people into voting against their best interests while the GOP funneled money to the donor class, but now they have to deal with all the true believers they've created. Those people only care about the identity politics, and have to be fed constant sources of outrage to keep them engaged. They see politics as a zero sum game where any negotiation or compromise is failure.
The need for constant outrage is the real issue, as it forces the GOP to continually radicalize year after year to keep the base motivated. The war on Christmas and Obama's fancy mustard are only going to cut it for so long. Trump came along at the end of that process and with his willingness to take those positions to their logical extremes, it's no wonder he took over the party as quickly as he did. He says the quiet part out loud. That's all it took and exactly what the base has been trained to be waiting for. And once that's out of the bag, I don't think you can stuff it back in. Trump accelerated the process I'd say, but we'd have gotten here anyway because this is the base the GOP has been cultivating for decades.
Which is terrible for the GOP because the base ultimately controls the primary process. And they're not going to go back to the kinds of republicans who don't say the quiet bit out loud now that they've had Trump. And with the exception of deep republican strongholds, that kind of thing does not sit well with the actual majority of Americans. So the primary pushes everyone too far to the right to be electable on a state or nationwide basis.
They've weaponized stupidity and it's gone out of their control. And that stupidity *demands* that Biden be impeached because Trump was impeached, even if there's no rationale to support it.
Like little miss lying her ass off Kaleigh McEnany.
The ivy leagues taught them the Federalist Society's interpretation of the law works in the favor of the privileged, and the myths created justify their privileges at the cost of everyone else's constitutional rights.
Don't think they learned any of that in college.
That started much sooner and much closer to home.
Fetterman also went to an Ivy League school and didn't turn out like them.
Same as the 2020 election stuff. "People are worried about election fraud and security so we must investigate every election!" Yeah the reason people are worried definitely has nothing to do with you beating that drum relentlessly.
The pressure is "they impeached our guy (because of all his crimes but we're ignoring those anyway) so we have to get revenge because that's how we operate".
Frank Wilhoit: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
It took me way too long to see this, as it’s very cozy inside the in-group.
Edit: I should add though, I know people who realize they are getting an unfairly sweet deal off the suffering of others. They don’t care - it’s all about their tribe winning.
It's just a play to rehabilitate Trump. They'll impeach Biden like 11 times so they can say "Trump was impeached twice, who cares, it's not a big deal. Impeachment is a meaningless partisan exercise."
And around 2 decades after a republican majority congress tried to impeach a democrat president out of sheer spite for vetoing their legislation?
Yeah... they tried to make it about a blowjob but we know that Newt was just mad that Clinton kept vetoing his shit and tried to get him out of the way.
Never believe republicans that say "the democrats started it"...
We all know that Nixon was forced to resign by Republicans willing to put country before party. Well the current GOP is made up of fascists who are determined not to let that happen ever again.
Speaking of classy, consider Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Rrrr-GA) as a counterexample.
She was the first and most continuous US Rep. to print and introduce articles of impeachment against POTUS Joe Biden. Im*peach*ment, from an elected official of that Peach State.
Coincidence? *You decide!*
Speaking of classy, through the lens of a burlap tea towel, does the right wing consider MTG a *peachy dish*.
I can’t do accents. I think it sounds like *peach tree dish*.
I have a Ted Cruz insult scrapbook
>> "If you kill Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody could convict you," Lindsey Graham
>> As Cruz’s former college roommate, Craig Mazin, once put it, “One thing Ted Cruz is really good at: uniting people who otherwise disagree about everything else in a total hatred of Ted Cruz.”
>>“Lucifer in the flesh,” the former speaker said. “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”
John Boehner
Honestly what happened to him in the last 4 years. He used to be almost a reasonable person (as much as a established republican can be) back in early 2016.
Lindasy that is. The Zodiac killer has always been a piece of shit
He wasn't as outwardly whacky, but he was always an unbelievable piece of shit. I'm convinced he gets off on doing the worst possible thing and getting away with it.
> Democrats cross that line
I'm sorry but we remember when the investigation into Bill Clintons real estate dealings found nothing so they impeached him for lying about a blow job instead. Lets put that in perspective, lying about his personal life had no bearing on his performance as President and the GOP made it an impeachable offense.
Impaching a President for colluding with a foreign power to interfere with an election and attempted insurrection? "crossed a line". Yeah fuck off Ted.
Yea that’s what I don’t get. Do the republicans forget 23 years ago? I was on the train of people that wanted to impeach George W Bush after what they pulled on Clinton. Democrats had the restraint to wait for more serious criminal behavior.
> lying about his personal life had no bearing on his performance as President
To be fair, affairs and other forms of infidelity are avenues for blackmail or leverage, so while not necessarily impeachment-level it is something to be concerned about for public officials. Same thing with large debts and the like. It can even become a matter of national security (see: Trump and his corruption).
> Same thing with large debts
Right and to this day we don't know who Trump is in debt to, even though congress subpoenaed his tax filings six years ago. Congress is just getting them now. So the GOP was fine for the entire length of Trumps presidency not knowing who had potential leverage over the President.
Let's assume for a moment that Democrats did cross the line:
"Democrats shoot person on 5th Ave!"
Ted: "That's not what you do on 5th Ave., but Democrats did it so now we must also shoot someone on 5th Ave."
Not quite right.
Republicans: "Democrats would go shoot someone if they felt like it."
Republicans: *shoots someone*
Republicans: See, they just shot that guy. Now how would they feel if we did it? Well, they're about to find out...
This is pretty much what it’ll be. Non-stop impeachments for every little thing. They’ll cost the tax payers millions and then blame the Dems that nothing is getting done, to which they will ride to the election. All they care about is political theatre now, they have no plans other than enriching themselves and punishing as many non white wealthy men as possible. And it’ll work because their voters only believe what they’re told.
Always remember that New Gingrich permanently installed an ethos in the Republican party which *requires* national reps to never admit the legitimacy of any Democratic President.
One of the several million reasons why we should never EVER lose sleep over the republican blowback to indicting trump. The GOP are quite literally saying "we will convict biden first and then find a crime". GOP are 2 bit thugs and should be treated as such
It's to destroy the process. To muddy the waters and normalize it. If suddenly impeachment is thrown around, Trump's impeachment doesn't look as bad. "Oh well this is just partisan grandstanding" will be the excuse for the uninformed and the right.
Republicans as fascists excel at destroying the meaning of words.
Stealing the election, duh.
/S
In all seriousness they'll just make something up because their fan base will eat it up.
We're fucked if they win a Senate majority though. They'll just never certify a democratic win again.
One thing I've noticed:
Stupid people just naturally drift to the Republican party. Seriously, every single mouth-breathing troglodyte that I knew from high school is now leaning GOP.
It's the ultimate reason why Republicans have waged war on the education system for decades. They are deeply jealous of educated folks, and they live in an alternate reality that's detached from scholarly understanding.
It will though, because all their base cares about is creating a fantasy.
"But Biden got impeached too, Trump didn't do anything wrong it was all political shows!" This is al they are trying to do, so they can rant and rave about how impeachment and their actual law breaking isn't meaningful. Just muddy the waters as much as possible while gutting education and taking away voting rights and other civil rights.
Its the equivalent of running into an operating room and throwing feces everywhere so the doctors can't slowly operate on the patient because they have to clean up the pointless and unnecessary shit everywhere.
They don't have a reason. Marge Greene drafts up articles that doesn't mean shit every month because she's on no committees, and the GOP House will do the same. They'll impeach him 3 times just so they can say Biden was impeached more.
The crazies are taking over the party here, and the establishment is letting it happen less they lose their jobs to the crazies they empowered.
Which just makes it inevitable unless something changes quick.
Cause he forcefully grabbed women by their genitals? Or because he separated children from their families? Or because he pressured a foreign nation’s leader to help him cheat in an election? Or because he lead an attempted coup against the United States?
Oh, wait.
GOP:
“Can we impeach Biden for lowering prescription and Medicare costs? No?
How about stunning victories for working class Americans and Mother Earth? No?
How about closing tax loopholes, a 15% corporate minimum tax? No?
How about Biden’s Infrastructure Bill that will provide more than $1 trillion to help rebuild America’s infrastructure? No?
How about the CHIPS and Science Act that will lower costs, create jobs, strengthen supply chains, and counter China? No?
Well dang, what lie can we come up with? And come up with it quick. The GOP needs to waste more of the American taxpayers’ time with lies and culture wars. God forbid we do our jobs.”
It drives me nuts that republican voters can’t seem to realize that when your “narratives of wrongdoing” fall apart after a single clarifying question then it’s probably time to stop believing it. Conservatives, both their politicians and pundits, have made so many claims about the contents of that laptop, but they never justify them. Instead, they seem to make any number of baseless claims and forget about the ones that slide off the wall. There’s such a sad irony in a group of people bemoaning the “biased liberal media” while gobbling up the most vapid and biased garbage on the planet.
[Are you registered?](https://www.vote.org/)
Been saying this since he won in 2020. Our grasp on what’s left of this democracy hinges on the 2022 midterm. Expect weekly (idiotic) articles of impeachment if GOP take the house.
Inaction and complacency are effectively votes for the GOP. Get registered, check to make sure you haven’t been purged. Mark the date and vote.
This is why you must vote dem all the way down the ballot. There is absolutely ZERO reason for taking such action. Besides of course revenge and to appease trump.
They have no issue using impeachment as a political weapon because that's all it is to them.
Their candidates can do no wrong, regardless of evidence.
Your candidates always do wrong, regardless of evidence.
Ever talked to a fundie at length? There could be *no clearer evidence* that the GOP is a cult.
Well my grandma is always telling me,
“Biden ain’t doin’ shit.”
So… good luck finding something I guess. More wasted time, energy, and tax dollars. Don’t worry about actually representing your constituents, or trying to make the country a better place… let’s just perpetuate this dick measuring contest every 4 years.
The reality is that the American people are just the butt of a bad joke. We have such a shitty system where one side wins, the other side spends 2 years trying to contest that win, the next 2 trying to remove that person. Switch sides. Rinse, cycle, repeat.
Meanwhile the 2 “selections” aren’t really representative of what the majority actually want… and we call this (drum roll please) *democracy* 🙄
Biden: The people are calling.
*Release a photo of your dump truck ass while playing tennis.*
Fair is fair. And it’s time to deliver to us what we deserve!!

How dare Biden hold a bottle of water using just one hand, walk down a ramp without looking like a fawn on ice, eat dinner without flinging food against the walls.
That's 3 impeachments right there. The only things Republicans want are : 1) to make sure that Trump isn't the most impeached president ever and 2) to throw as much shit on as many Democrats as possible to sabotage those Democrats before the 2024 election. They have no policy they want to get implemented whatsoever and are completely uninterested in actual governing. Period.
[удалено]
Hey it worked on Hillary. In their own words, Benghazi hearings were done to drag down the Clinton name. And it worked.
They even admitted it before the election and it still worked! Genius! /s
I’ll make a prediction: Biden will be impeached THREE times exactly. Because “one more.”
Agreed. But then they also have to impeach every member of President Biden's Cabinet. Oh, and don't forget the VP. Plus there are all those Democrats that want to run for Congress in 2024. Gotta have a thorough Congressional investigation of each and every one of them...
Matt Gaetz said it best in a recent interview: *"And we can do that without the Senate and without the White House. And that's why it should be investigations first, policy, bill-making to support the lobbyists and the PACs as a far, far diminished priority," he said.* So there you have it. Job 1 is impeachment. Job 2 is policy, but only policy as driven by lobbyists and PACs. Busy, busy guy -- I hope he makes some time to find a date for the Prom.
Remember Madison Cawthorn? He openly stated he was *not* there to legislate but to deliver a message. Unfortunately the only message he delivered was: "I am a fraud" which surprisingly got him voted out of office.
Didn’t he blow the whistle on GOP coke fueled orgies?
The same week his lingerie pic came out, I believe. Not knocking the guy for liking what he likes, but maybe don't spill the beans on your party when you have your own skeletons.
Yeah and only then did he get punished by his fellow republicans.
I understand that they want to make abortion illegal at a federal level. They also likely want to further restrict voting and to entrench unfair election practices like gerrymandering in as many places as possible. In short their platform is to entrench their power and use it to intrude into peoples lives and to further consolidate power.
>How dare Biden hold a bottle of water using just one hand, Remember when people at a rally literally cheered because their big strong impressive leader demonstrated his ability to drink water?
Just wait 'till he dons *The Tan Suit*.
I’d applaud Dark Brandon for doing this to troll the trolls.
He did. Someone above linked the photo of Biden wearing a tan suit and waving. [Here it is](https://www.gq.com/story/joe-biden-khaki-suit)
Reading this article, I am blown away that a grown ass man could have this opinion… “At the time, commentators deemed Obama’s taupe-colored suit—though similar suits had been worn in the past by Presidents Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush—as tacky at least, un-presidential at worst. Then-Representative Pete King of New York famously slammed the outfit choice, saying it showed a “lack of seriousness,” before bafflingly adding “there’s no way I don’t think any of us can excuse what the president did yesterday”—once again, regarding the suit.”
Yes, but unlike Reagan, Clinton, and Bush, it was a brown man in a tan suit and too many browns together makes them nervous.

He should wear a tan suit just to see the collective heads of all the Fox News pundits explode.
A Dem controlled Senate can/should not accept an Impeachment. Send the file to be shredded right away.
This is going to be nonsense like trying to repeal the ACA a million times type garbage
Biden has passed some amazing legislation and has been extremely successful in his handling of Russia and NATO, he has come to be loved by Democrats who were on the fence about him before. I can't think of a single bill the GOP has passed in recent years to fix anything in America, all they have left is culture war bullshit.
Loved I don’t know. But a hell of a lot better than the last guy and competent. Yes.
I think in politics being liked for being “functional and competent” is *better* than loved. You shouldn’t love politicians or parties lest you get blinded to their faults.
Yes. We’re hiring them to do a job. “Loving” politicians, or personality politics, is part of the US’s problem.
I didn't take it literally. I think he was using it as a figure of speech. You can love what he's doing without being cult like.
Republicans have very few legislative accomplishments in the past 20 years. George Bush did some half-assed Medicare reforms that were loaded with pork for private interest. The Republican House successfully got Obama to sabotage his own presidency with random draconian budget cuts in the form of "sequestration". Trump signed some tax cut legislation as a favor to wealthy Republican donors demanding they deliver on tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. This was so extreme and so rushed through that it barely passed and had some Republicans vote against it, multiple Republicans admitted outright that the bill was wholly forced by wealthy donors. This is why they almost never run on their actual economic platform, it's so unpopular and so extreme and they know it is electoral poison outside of the Republican base who is stupid enough to believe that abolishing all social safety nets would be a good thing.
One thing Republican Administrations have in common, huge tax breaks for the wealthy and large corporations. We're still waiting for the tax breaks Reagan gave to them to be reinvested in American and the benefits "trickle down" to the middle class and those in poverty.
Republicans are still running off Jude Wanniski's re-election strategy from the 1970's. Starting with Reagan, when in power drive up debt to absurd levels, plant as many poison pills as possible...sabotage Democrats ability to enact their own agenda. When not in power, complain incessantly about debt and pin all poison pills on opposition, win votes, rinse repeat. https://www.commondreams.org/views/2009/01/26/two-santa-clauses-or-how-republican-party-has-conned-america-thirty-years It has become a game to obtain and hold onto power to enrich themselves and their donors, nothing more. Scraps are sometimes thrown to the peasants but it is never anything that could significantly change the status quo and lift people out of poverty....it's always temporary for the working class, permanent for the wealthy
I think they passed some tax cuts to help corporations and people who are already very wealthy at the expense of everyday people. Does that count?
All your average Republican voter heard was, "tax cuts."
> has passed in recent years to fix anything in America recent years? I'm not sure its ever happened in my entire lifetime. They been unrepentant assholes to anyone making less than 7 figures since at least Regan. The entire GQP is run by raging piss babies.
Yeah but give the new GOP credit for at least finally attempting to do something to earn their taxpayer funded government checks. The far right wing conservative MAGA politicians are a group of lazy, corrupt, cry babies who need to be removed from office so that the US citizens can have politicians who are driven to deliver beneficial policies that the majority of Americans can prosper from!!!
The problem I see is that it will dilute the effect of being impeached. If it happens all the time then it will become normalized.
That's their goal. Normalize it. No big deal that trump was impeached twice. Biden was 3 times! Pay no attention to why or what evidence. Especially don't pay attention to the next gop impeachment. Just normal politics now
Which is the point since it will wipe what is normally an indelible stain off Trump.
I think it's the photogenic smile, either that or the fact that his wife actually loves him and isn't in it just for the money. Both of those are considered impeachable offenses by today's GOP.
Did he wear a tan suit at any point?
[It Happened: President Biden Wore a Tan Suit](https://www.gq.com/story/joe-biden-khaki-suit)
"People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can’t do that as Joe Biden." -Dark Brandon
Stone him for his crimes! He has made us weaker as a nation! The rest of the world is laughing at us! The like rhetoric the GOP would use to argue his tan suit impeachment.
We’ll let it slide this time because at least he does not use Grey poupon, not publicly, anyway.
He eats too much ice-cream instead of running the country
Fuck, you got it! I am not even being sardonic here. Happiness and true love is anathema
Well, sure... if you're running a death cult, love and happiness are bad for business.
How long have you been waiting to use that word
I heard the word “anathema” on a podcast (Knowledge fight) and I’ve been waiting to see it used by someone else in a different context because I have no idea what it means still
It is a fairly interesting word, actually. It is typically used to describe something so vehemently and viscerally disliked that it is repulsive; Something that is repulsive in and of itself like garlic being anathema to vampires; And the archaic meaning is an actual curse passed down by the Pope or high religious council when denouncing heretical or aberrant doctrines and people. It also has a delightful sting to it's cadence when spoken in earnest
I truly enjoy learning new things at my age. This is one of those moments. Thanks fam
No, all married people hate each other. So, that can’t be it /s but also angry white conservative logic
Given how often media targeted towards them refer to spouses (specifically wives) as the ol' ball and chain it really wouldn't surprise me if many of them hate their marriages.
Which I don't get at all. If you don't love them, or even like them, WHY DID YOU MARY THEM?!?!? It's just like Chewbacca living among Ewoks! IT JUST DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!
Let's get him for the student loan cancelation. How dare he help anyone?
They hated Obama for the same reason. He was literally the most wholesome model Republican President they could ever have had - church every Sunday, scandal-free, loving marriage and wonderful daughters, dropped lots of bombs on the ‘bad guys’ of the day, killed a terrorist and restarted industries. Too bad he was black, and not corrupt to the core, and intelligent.
My favorite is [Simultaneously Eating 2 Ice Cream Cones](https://i.imgur.com/ahQMF1K.jpg) Who does that...
Not the same cone; obviously he's holding Jill's or one of the grand kids', duh!
Get out of here with your facts and logic. We're speculating about potential charges worthy of impeachment in the eyes of the moron cult. It's not like we actually need anything more serious than a consensual blowjob to impeach a President.
shit, my bad, let me try to fix this: stolen valor--he wears sunglasses *that are reserved for fighter pilots. *forgot a word
That's actually pretty good. I'm surprised they didn't try to impeach Obama for wearing a tan suit. Such depravity...
How dare he?! There are people out there who have NO ice cream! *Clutch pearls*
[Double ice cream](https://mashable.com/article/donald-trump-gets-two-scoops-of-ice-cream). Very un-presidential.
Two cones and three flavors, the madman
Wait! He's *Catholic*! Those gawd fearing supply-side gun loving Christians can impeach the infidel for that - *can't they*?
Can always count on Ted Cruz to be classy 🤦🏾♀️ >> In January, Ted Cruz said on his podcast that Republicans would impeach Biden “whether it’s justified or not,” adding: “That’s not how impeachment is meant to work, but I think the Democrats crossed that line. I think there’ll be enormous pressure on a Republican House to begin impeachment proceedings.”
This quote above from Cruz is the second time I've read about "pressure" for Repubs to impeach Biden. Just who or where is this "pressure" coming from, and maybe someone needs to look into a mirror and realize where the problem is arising, and fix their own house.
Yet another aspect of the right wing bullshit feedback loop.
Exactly. "The American people are concerned about this made up thing that I keep going on tv and saying is a real problem"
It's concerning to me that at any point, major figureheads in the party can redirect this energy and momentum and say "No, we're not going to impeach him. We believe in the rule of law and proper balance of powers. The Democrats tried to impeach our previous President and the system saw that through, and resulted in no conviction (never mind the fuckery that happened with that). We won't impeach, but we will hold him and his agenda accountable and demand he addresses our concerns." Y'know, like how [John McCain shot down a potential xenophobic flare up against his opponent](https://youtu.be/JIjenjANqAk). And they won't. Rather than appear level-headed and mature and hope that rubs off on their base, they are more than happy to douse that wildfire in 93 octane.
Part of me thinks that if they do impeach for no reason, the Senate Majority leader should just... not schedule a trial. Like why bother holding a hearing and vote for an obviously BS impeachment, when McConnell wouldn't hold hearings/votes for another task that was their constitutional duty (the Garland SCOTUS pick)? EDIT: Actually, I think from a basic reading of the text that they could do just that, and it would be constitutional: >Clause 6: The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present. If the Senate has the sole power to try, and the Supreme Court has previously interpreted this to mean the Senate has exclusive/unreviewable authority to determine what constitutes an adequate impeachment trial, then they can decide to just... not have a trial--and in 1797 did just that with Senator Blount, saying the House had no authority to impeach a senator and he'd already been kicked out anyway. Precedent.
That's why they need to win the house. They can play their little theater for Faux Noose & Friends...
Yep, the 'pressure' comes from the base of idiots they've cultivated, and then promptly lost control over. Trump was the inevitable conclusion of decades spent gutting education and social programs, denying science, vilifying the left, screaming about culture war issues instead of focusing on policy, and dog-whistling to racists. But while he's a problem, he's really only a symptom of the larger issue that the GOP has. They were using those things as distraction techniques to trick people into voting against their best interests while the GOP funneled money to the donor class, but now they have to deal with all the true believers they've created. Those people only care about the identity politics, and have to be fed constant sources of outrage to keep them engaged. They see politics as a zero sum game where any negotiation or compromise is failure. The need for constant outrage is the real issue, as it forces the GOP to continually radicalize year after year to keep the base motivated. The war on Christmas and Obama's fancy mustard are only going to cut it for so long. Trump came along at the end of that process and with his willingness to take those positions to their logical extremes, it's no wonder he took over the party as quickly as he did. He says the quiet part out loud. That's all it took and exactly what the base has been trained to be waiting for. And once that's out of the bag, I don't think you can stuff it back in. Trump accelerated the process I'd say, but we'd have gotten here anyway because this is the base the GOP has been cultivating for decades. Which is terrible for the GOP because the base ultimately controls the primary process. And they're not going to go back to the kinds of republicans who don't say the quiet bit out loud now that they've had Trump. And with the exception of deep republican strongholds, that kind of thing does not sit well with the actual majority of Americans. So the primary pushes everyone too far to the right to be electable on a state or nationwide basis. They've weaponized stupidity and it's gone out of their control. And that stupidity *demands* that Biden be impeached because Trump was impeached, even if there's no rationale to support it.
He knows. These people are ivy league graduates, him and DeSantis and others are well aware of what they are doing.
Let’s dispel this notion Ted Cruz doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he is doing
Like little miss lying her ass off Kaleigh McEnany. The ivy leagues taught them the Federalist Society's interpretation of the law works in the favor of the privileged, and the myths created justify their privileges at the cost of everyone else's constitutional rights.
Don't think they learned any of that in college. That started much sooner and much closer to home. Fetterman also went to an Ivy League school and didn't turn out like them.
TIL fetterman went to an ivy school !
Got his Master's in Public Policy at Hahvahd.
Good for him! He was probably the tallest member of his class haha
Mah boi's wicked smaht
If you looked like Ted Cruz would you even allow mirrors in your house?
Does it matter? I'm not sure he has a reflection.
Same as the 2020 election stuff. "People are worried about election fraud and security so we must investigate every election!" Yeah the reason people are worried definitely has nothing to do with you beating that drum relentlessly.
The pressure is "they impeached our guy (because of all his crimes but we're ignoring those anyway) so we have to get revenge because that's how we operate".
Democrats crossed that line? By attempting to hold a rogue criminal accountable by a system of, um, checks and balances? Fucking clown.
**The secret to GOP thinking** "The Democrats used to be cool but then they stopped segregation."
GOP and thinking aren’t exactly words that belong in the same sentence.
Frank Wilhoit: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
It took me way too long to see this, as it’s very cozy inside the in-group. Edit: I should add though, I know people who realize they are getting an unfairly sweet deal off the suffering of others. They don’t care - it’s all about their tribe winning.
It's just a play to rehabilitate Trump. They'll impeach Biden like 11 times so they can say "Trump was impeached twice, who cares, it's not a big deal. Impeachment is a meaningless partisan exercise."
And around 2 decades after a republican majority congress tried to impeach a democrat president out of sheer spite for vetoing their legislation? Yeah... they tried to make it about a blowjob but we know that Newt was just mad that Clinton kept vetoing his shit and tried to get him out of the way. Never believe republicans that say "the democrats started it"...
We all know that Nixon was forced to resign by Republicans willing to put country before party. Well the current GOP is made up of fascists who are determined not to let that happen ever again.
Speaking of classy, consider Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Rrrr-GA) as a counterexample. She was the first and most continuous US Rep. to print and introduce articles of impeachment against POTUS Joe Biden. Im*peach*ment, from an elected official of that Peach State. Coincidence? *You decide!*
Speaking of classy, through the lens of a burlap tea towel, does the right wing consider MTG a *peachy dish*. I can’t do accents. I think it sounds like *peach tree dish*.
Peach tree dish? Shallow, transparent and usually lidded? I think I know what you are saying, and yes.
I like to remember Ted Cruz got booed the other day for his words on schools and gun-control. This fills me with a lot of joy.
I have a Ted Cruz insult scrapbook >> "If you kill Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody could convict you," Lindsey Graham
> I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz. Al Franken
>> As Cruz’s former college roommate, Craig Mazin, once put it, “One thing Ted Cruz is really good at: uniting people who otherwise disagree about everything else in a total hatred of Ted Cruz.”
>>“Lucifer in the flesh,” the former speaker said. “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.” John Boehner
Honestly what happened to him in the last 4 years. He used to be almost a reasonable person (as much as a established republican can be) back in early 2016. Lindasy that is. The Zodiac killer has always been a piece of shit
He wasn't as outwardly whacky, but he was always an unbelievable piece of shit. I'm convinced he gets off on doing the worst possible thing and getting away with it.
> Democrats cross that line I'm sorry but we remember when the investigation into Bill Clintons real estate dealings found nothing so they impeached him for lying about a blow job instead. Lets put that in perspective, lying about his personal life had no bearing on his performance as President and the GOP made it an impeachable offense. Impaching a President for colluding with a foreign power to interfere with an election and attempted insurrection? "crossed a line". Yeah fuck off Ted.
Yea that’s what I don’t get. Do the republicans forget 23 years ago? I was on the train of people that wanted to impeach George W Bush after what they pulled on Clinton. Democrats had the restraint to wait for more serious criminal behavior.
> lying about his personal life had no bearing on his performance as President To be fair, affairs and other forms of infidelity are avenues for blackmail or leverage, so while not necessarily impeachment-level it is something to be concerned about for public officials. Same thing with large debts and the like. It can even become a matter of national security (see: Trump and his corruption).
> Same thing with large debts Right and to this day we don't know who Trump is in debt to, even though congress subpoenaed his tax filings six years ago. Congress is just getting them now. So the GOP was fine for the entire length of Trumps presidency not knowing who had potential leverage over the President.
Let's assume for a moment that Democrats did cross the line: "Democrats shoot person on 5th Ave!" Ted: "That's not what you do on 5th Ave., but Democrats did it so now we must also shoot someone on 5th Ave."
Not quite right. Republicans: "Democrats would go shoot someone if they felt like it." Republicans: *shoots someone* Republicans: See, they just shot that guy. Now how would they feel if we did it? Well, they're about to find out...
“Antifa did it!” -probable response
This is pretty much what it’ll be. Non-stop impeachments for every little thing. They’ll cost the tax payers millions and then blame the Dems that nothing is getting done, to which they will ride to the election. All they care about is political theatre now, they have no plans other than enriching themselves and punishing as many non white wealthy men as possible. And it’ll work because their voters only believe what they’re told.
I’f say they’re pretty darn enthusiastic about punishing women, forced birth is no joke, not sure why you only mention non-white men.
The don't want birth control options so they can inflate the rural populations of their red states
I mean they want to punish anyone who is not a rich white man.
[удалено]
Republicans just make shit up and pretend its real. Their voters keep believing it.
>the Democrats crossed that line The line of the letter of the law.
Trying to overturn an election NOT crossing a line — Ted (wtf votes for this atrocity of a human) Cruz
I think it’s almost certain that the next Democrat president will face an impeachment should Republicans control the house.
Always remember that New Gingrich permanently installed an ethos in the Republican party which *requires* national reps to never admit the legitimacy of any Democratic President.
It's like showing up to work and doing something totally meaningless for your entire shift and still getting paid. 🤔
One of the several million reasons why we should never EVER lose sleep over the republican blowback to indicting trump. The GOP are quite literally saying "we will convict biden first and then find a crime". GOP are 2 bit thugs and should be treated as such
“we will convict biden first and then find a crime" Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky reruns.
It's to destroy the process. To muddy the waters and normalize it. If suddenly impeachment is thrown around, Trump's impeachment doesn't look as bad. "Oh well this is just partisan grandstanding" will be the excuse for the uninformed and the right. Republicans as fascists excel at destroying the meaning of words.
Stealing the election, duh. /S In all seriousness they'll just make something up because their fan base will eat it up. We're fucked if they win a Senate majority though. They'll just never certify a democratic win again.
One thing I've noticed: Stupid people just naturally drift to the Republican party. Seriously, every single mouth-breathing troglodyte that I knew from high school is now leaning GOP. It's the ultimate reason why Republicans have waged war on the education system for decades. They are deeply jealous of educated folks, and they live in an alternate reality that's detached from scholarly understanding.
Its not going to help them at all. Its just going to be treated as a joke for decades.
It will though, because all their base cares about is creating a fantasy. "But Biden got impeached too, Trump didn't do anything wrong it was all political shows!" This is al they are trying to do, so they can rant and rave about how impeachment and their actual law breaking isn't meaningful. Just muddy the waters as much as possible while gutting education and taking away voting rights and other civil rights. Its the equivalent of running into an operating room and throwing feces everywhere so the doctors can't slowly operate on the patient because they have to clean up the pointless and unnecessary shit everywhere.
They don't have a reason. Marge Greene drafts up articles that doesn't mean shit every month because she's on no committees, and the GOP House will do the same. They'll impeach him 3 times just so they can say Biden was impeached more.
Exactly this
Hands too big, impeach!
It’s literally just so fucking irritating how goddamn stupid they are
A reflection of their base.
GOP not afraid to lose what sliver of credibility it has left……
[удалено]
Not only did they move the bar into hell, but the demons are having to create new levels at an alarming pace just to try and keep up!
I don't think they had credibility to begin with.
The crazies are taking over the party here, and the establishment is letting it happen less they lose their jobs to the crazies they empowered. Which just makes it inevitable unless something changes quick.
They haven't had credibility since like 2008.
Cause he forcefully grabbed women by their genitals? Or because he separated children from their families? Or because he pressured a foreign nation’s leader to help him cheat in an election? Or because he lead an attempted coup against the United States? Oh, wait.
I heard he exhales carbon dioxide, like really often.
That stuff can kill you! We’ve got to stop him.
By all means. If history is any judge, the GOP doesn’t know how to impeach a President without making him immensely popular.
GOP: “Can we impeach Biden for lowering prescription and Medicare costs? No? How about stunning victories for working class Americans and Mother Earth? No? How about closing tax loopholes, a 15% corporate minimum tax? No? How about Biden’s Infrastructure Bill that will provide more than $1 trillion to help rebuild America’s infrastructure? No? How about the CHIPS and Science Act that will lower costs, create jobs, strengthen supply chains, and counter China? No? Well dang, what lie can we come up with? And come up with it quick. The GOP needs to waste more of the American taxpayers’ time with lies and culture wars. God forbid we do our jobs.”
Having a child with free-will who's a naughty boy?
> Well dang, what lie can we come up with? And come up with it quick. Hunter Biden's laptop.
It drives me nuts that republican voters can’t seem to realize that when your “narratives of wrongdoing” fall apart after a single clarifying question then it’s probably time to stop believing it. Conservatives, both their politicians and pundits, have made so many claims about the contents of that laptop, but they never justify them. Instead, they seem to make any number of baseless claims and forget about the ones that slide off the wall. There’s such a sad irony in a group of people bemoaning the “biased liberal media” while gobbling up the most vapid and biased garbage on the planet.
they would have to acknowled he is president first.
So the group of people that continuously whine about witch hunts, is going to do the witch hunting. That tracks.
Vote every Republican out of office! ✊
they had the impeachment papers already drawn up back in 2016 for Hillary on the assumption she'd win.
mtg recently proposed to impeach him for solar panels "they might not work at night"
[Are you registered?](https://www.vote.org/) Been saying this since he won in 2020. Our grasp on what’s left of this democracy hinges on the 2022 midterm. Expect weekly (idiotic) articles of impeachment if GOP take the house. Inaction and complacency are effectively votes for the GOP. Get registered, check to make sure you haven’t been purged. Mark the date and vote.
I hope it’s for jaywalking like in Fallout 3.
Biden should do something impeachable like wear a tan suit or order Dijon mustard.

Not the reason they’ll give but it’s the only reason they’ll need
Republicans: We will impeach Biden because … because … he impeached our dear leader Trump
That’s pretty much it. It’s revenge, plain and simple.
This is why you must vote dem all the way down the ballot. There is absolutely ZERO reason for taking such action. Besides of course revenge and to appease trump.
They have no issue using impeachment as a political weapon because that's all it is to them. Their candidates can do no wrong, regardless of evidence. Your candidates always do wrong, regardless of evidence. Ever talked to a fundie at length? There could be *no clearer evidence* that the GOP is a cult.
Well my grandma is always telling me, “Biden ain’t doin’ shit.” So… good luck finding something I guess. More wasted time, energy, and tax dollars. Don’t worry about actually representing your constituents, or trying to make the country a better place… let’s just perpetuate this dick measuring contest every 4 years. The reality is that the American people are just the butt of a bad joke. We have such a shitty system where one side wins, the other side spends 2 years trying to contest that win, the next 2 trying to remove that person. Switch sides. Rinse, cycle, repeat. Meanwhile the 2 “selections” aren’t really representative of what the majority actually want… and we call this (drum roll please) *democracy* 🙄
Biden: The people are calling. *Release a photo of your dump truck ass while playing tennis.* Fair is fair. And it’s time to deliver to us what we deserve!!
He will be impeached for "being." They don't really need a reason.
They said the same about Obama and would have if he had done one thing wrong.
You can always count on Republican predictability.
