Republicans in Wisconsin are threatening to impeach a recently elected state Supreme Court justice and raised the possibility of doing the same to the state’s election director.

A Georgia Republican called for impeaching the Fulton County prosecutor who brought racketeering charges against former President Donald Trump. Republicans in the Pennsylvania House have already impeached the top prosecutor in Philadelphia.

None of the targets met the bar traditionally set for impeachment — credible allegations of committing a crime while in office. Their offense: staking out positions legislative Republicans didn’t like.

As Republicans in Congress begin their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, the process is calling attention to the increasing use of impeachment in the states as a partisan political weapon rather than as a step of last resort for officeholders believed to have committed a serious offense.

      I’m with you my man. Let them discourse and lead from the high road.

      I’ve seen too much filth to ever be clean again. I’ll be with you, on the streets, in the thick of it. Guarding their rear while also getting my revenge. Heather was a harbinger, and if they have their way, none of us get thru this alive.

      What they don’t plan for tho, is large segments of us have already come to terms with that. When we’re all priced out of the remnants of our last stripped out modest dreams…then we’re all already walking dead men. No future either way, seems to me, might as well make them pay.

          The only part of our society that hasn’t let me down is NASA.

          Every other public sector and service has been enshitified long ago. Neoliberalism changed the attitude of government purpose. No longer ensuring a playing field where all actors are bound by the same rules, no longer concerned with helping to build strong, intelligent self sufficient citizenry.

          Now it’s only the dollar. And whomever stabs the person next to them in the back to take it.

          Make no mistake, this attitude is from the top down. Globalism allowed companies to become as powerful, if not more powerful, than almost all governments. And those shareholders? They’ll sacrifice all of us before they let go a shred of money they didn’t lift a finger for.

          At least there’s a nobel purpose for us

          Revenging.

          Time to clean the gene pool.
