Current Events > McCarthy to move forward with impeaching Biden without support to do it

(+) Yeah! (+)

He doesnt even have the votes to start an inquiry much less the votes to actually impeach him. Nor does he have any evidence that Biden has done anything that is generally considered impeachable. But hes doing it anyway because he has to act like hes doing something and Biden has to have something on his record.

Also, impeaching Biden is wildly unpopular with moderates and independents. So good luck with that.

Republicans hate targeting political opposition until it's THEIR political opposition

Oh look, the GoP making a mockery of congress again.

they are weaponizing the house/senate. what a disgrace.

Hell yeah. About time someone tried to make Biden accountable for... whatever it is he did.

Weaponizing the House at least.

I should point out that last night Trump on Truth Social was demanding that McCarthy impeach Biden. The reason? Because THEY DID IT TO US!

He's a fool, he'll unleash Dark Brandon

Kevin McCarthy is just doing whatever Trump wants him to do. Insane that he's actually speaker of the house.

Republicans draw up obviously farcical impeachments in a deliberate attempt to muddy the waters. The point is to give the procedure the universal appearance of political bullshit, so that when their party gets impeached, they have a better stage to frame it as unimportant and petty politics.

he knows he has to do whatever the MAGA crowd says since it only takes one person to put him up for removal too

Well yes, that is quite literally their only motivation

"The Dems impeached our guy, so that means we get to impeach their guy. It's only fair, right?"

That's not what they're doing. They're trying to delegitimize the impeachment process so that Trump's impeachments don't look bad.

Yeah, he was so desperate for the title that he was willing to basically be speaker in name only just to get it.

The Dems impeached our guy only for revenge because of the impeachment of Bill Clinton and maybe Andrew Johnson!

Kevin McCarthy is not sensible.

The only crime Biden has committed is being in office since the 70's. This alone should tell us why term limits are needed. No on needs or should be in office for 50 years.

More performative BS from the troll party that governs like they are in an internet chat room or something. I guess that is the kind of stuff you have to do when your voting base is brainwashed cult.

They are going to get trounced in 24. Will they finally learn anything from it? Probably not.

You won't believe the evidence they have.

You'll see all that evidence and then you'll be like "I don't believe it."

That's how unbelievable the evidence is, that's what you'll say when you see it.

And you'll see it, you'll see it when they show that evidence. They have so much evidence.

It's unbelievable.

Thank you for this. I realized after I posted that I forgot the tears thing and regretted my post. But you fixed it! :)

This CNN article is legitimately insane. They basically wrote the whole thing to make it sound like whatever's going on here actually has merit.

Because it makes him look or feel like a big man, I assume.

House GOP members of some of the most disingenuous and feckless people alive. You have a former sitting president actively being indicted in four separate proceedings, and the first words out of your mouth are Hunter Biden and the laptop. Fucking hell. Priorities, assholes.

McCarthy's own position as the speaker of the House couldn't even be consummated without help from the MAGA extremists. He's a tool - a puppet. They are pulling his strings. He wants power over anything else.

Doesnt sound like hes getting what he wants then. Maybe what hes really after is a fancy title.

CNN was bought by some right-wing mogul this year and has consistently published madness, platformed dt, and done other batshit crazy crap.

most of their "left-wing" shit reads like false-flag nonsense "Is anime RACIST?" it's really sad.

apnews.com is the only tolerable place for news (and CE).

im overreacting about CNN, they have good stuff, but also some wtf moments recently

Some people say you need a smoking gun. Well, there's no gun that smokes more than my gun. It smokes so much. Like 2 or 3 packs a day. Where it gets the money to smoke so much, I don't know. One time, my gun said to me, it said, "Sir, I'm going out to find your father and cigarettes." He was gone for nine months. Where he went, nobody knows. But he was smoking the whole time. The smokingest gun ever.
