House Republicans know that their rapidly shrinking majority—and their lack of evidence—has put them in an impossible position.
Despite drumbeating for more than a year to impeach Joe Biden, House Republicans have quietly begun looking for an off-ramp in the face of an overwhelming lack of evidence against the president—and a rapidly shrinking majority in the chamber.
Republicans have accused Biden and his son Hunter of corruption and influence peddling, but their lengthy investigation has failed to turn up any proof of the president’s wrongdoing. In fact, the biggest criminal act revealed during the course of the probe was committed by the GOP’s own star witness, Alexander Smirnov. The Department of Justice has accused him of making up the allegations against the Biden family that jump-started the whole impeachment effort.
As the investigation crumbles, Republicans are starting to sour on it entirely. “I don’t think we have the will to impeach Joe Biden,” Texas Representative Troy Nehls told Fox News on Tuesday. “We just don’t.”
President Harris is not even a possibility if the house votes to impeach Biden. The Dems have the senate majority, and the GOP would need a 2/3rds vote. Heck, they likely wouldn’t even get all of the GOP senators voting for it.
The plan was never to actually kick the guy out of office. The plan was to have a media stunt.
Their plan was to minimize the legitimacy of an impeachment. Because Trump was impeached twice. So if they can impeach Biden based on no substantial evidence, then Trump’s impeachments look much less serious. Their goal has always been to water down the idea of impeachments, so Trump’s impeachments can’t be used against him in the future.
The clowns wanted a circus, you might say.
Wanna know something? For part of Obama’s time in office, he had a filibuster proof majority in the house and senate and the only thing he did with it was to give us a republican’s idea for healthcare.
A system that forces everyone to buy for-profit healthcare and still allows those for-profit companies to deny care.
The democrats care so much about “bipartisanship” and “reaching across the isle” that they caved in to pressure that didn’t even matter.
Why would they do this? Because the democrats actually wanted to do what they ended up doing, and now they don’t even bother virtue signaling any left-wing views. They just come right out and advocate for authoritarianism now.
No he didn’t. This is just a blatant lie.
It was the self named “Blue Dog” democrats like Manchin that torpedoed the health care bill.
They were more than happy to reach across the isle and bathe in the corpo dollars.
All of that was for show, what we got is what they wanted all along.
A few corrections.
none of that matters.
the people we elect don’t actually control anything. It’s all just a show.
