The House speaker seems completely done with his own party’s Biden impeachment crusade.

House Speaker Mike Johnson appears to be growing cold on the idea of impeaching Joe Biden, as Republicans reportedly scramble for the exits regarding the impeachment investigation.

Despite insisting for more than a year that the president and his family are guilty of corruption, House Republicans have quietly begun looking for an off-ramp. Their investigation has produced no evidence of Biden’s involvement in crimes, and with their rapidly shrinking majority, articles of impeachment would be unlikely to pass anyway.

When asked Wednesday whether he would hold a vote on articles of impeachment, Johnson demurred and instead said there was more investigating to be done.

    To paraphrase Hunter Thompson, it’s like watching a bunch of junkies trying to build a rocketship to see if there’s free heroin on the Moon.

    I’m just glad we get to keep the stat that Trump represents half of the impeachments of US presidents.

    Water is wet and this is just beating a dead horse. I’ve seen this same topic covered again and again and again.

    Isn’t there anything more relevant to talk about? isn’t this supposed to be an election year?

      Where are you when all the reposts of “Biden mispronounced a word! He must be old!” Articles show up?

      Question asked and answered I’d say.
