Not all leading Republicans are exactly happy about the decision to press ahead with a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, but the partys unquestioned leaderDonald Trumpcertainly is.

The New York Times reports on repeated efforts by the former president, privately and publicly, to push for a Biden impeachment. They include weekly telephone calls with Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, the third-ranking Republican in the House, and dinner on Sunday night with MAGA ally Marjorie Taylor Greene at Trumps golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, where the pair reportedly shared their views over halibut and diet Cokes.

Greene confirmed to the Times that shed laid out her impeachment strategy at that dinner, telling the former president she wanted the inquiry to be long and excruciatingly painful for Joe Biden.

A spokesperson for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who announced Tuesday that he was ordering a formal inquiry into Biden and his son Hunters business dealings, declined to comment on his contacts with Trump when asked by the paper.

Yeah, admittedly there's some dim bulbs behind this but imagine what could have been done with the resources that will be poured into this. A Bigfoot inquiry would probably find more things worth anyone's time than this will.

What does long and painful even look like in this scenario?

"You son does DRUGS, you're locking up DEAR LEADER!!, and HER EMAILS!!!!" Repeated over and over?

Like, what could they even bring up that'd be remotely hurtful to Biden himself?

What could they do that would be longer and more painful than losing your wife and baby in a car accident and watching your young sons suffer through recovery, losing one of those sons to cancer, and losing the other of those sons to addiction?

Exactly. There's no there there. If there were, they would've found it a long time ago instead of having to resort to attacks on his son.

I don't think MTG or Trump care. It's going to mean more red meat for the people who already believe their dumb lies about Biden. I'm not sure it even registers with them how petty this shit looks to everyone else.

It will be long and painful. For Republicans and McCarthy.

Glad they are admitting the only purpose of the impeachment is to try to take attention away from the Trump trails.

Man the GOP should lose huge in 2024. They should lose like no one has never lost before. And yet I don't have enough faith in the democrats or the American people to believe that will happen.

Thats what I was wondering. Like MTG has even a modicum of knowledge on what an impeachment process takes. She was just telling Trump what he wants to hear to stay in the golden towers. Shes not the star she use to be in a lot of judgmental MAGA voters eyes. Which is a good thing! Let them fight themselves. Hell Im surprised they havent try to grift some weird Boebert vs MTG boxing match.

Trump and MTG couldn't plan their way into a public park, in order to actually rile up the votes for an impeachment and politically damage Biden you need more competent people on the case than that.

considering there is no actual accusations of criminal or even political malfeasance against biden it won't be very effective at damaging him. the only people that would respond to a nakedly political impeachment of biden are already dyed in the wool cultists, and the rest of the population will be paying much more attention to trumps criminal trials as he could actually land in prison

Never underestimate enlightened centrists. They could be turned away by Benghazi/emails/DNC level stuff. Just not Obamagate/Beijing Biden/Hunter's laptop level stuff.

I just don't see how this doesn't backfire on them. How'd it go last time they tried impeaching a president for lying? And that was about something salacious like sex, this time they're accusing him of lying about...being put on speakerphone while his son does some shady business shit?

They better have some evidence that we don't know about yet, or I feel like it's a BS Impeachment is just gonna galvanize his presidency like it did Clinton.

The threat is never a switch to Trump, just them being bitter and sitting out. "Trump's a criminal, Biden's stagnating, fuck this" and they pull a 2016. I don't think the current GOP is capable of forcing it, but an imaginary competent GOP might've.

if the gop had a non trump candidate they would be a real threat to win in '20 imo but the public actively hates trump and recognizes to an extent how much of a threat he is to our system. as long as trump is at the top of the ticket i think the chances of democrats winning remain excellent

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they actually went all out and either purposely or accidentally used ai Biden voice from YouTube or something to try and make him look bad if Trumps starts really flailing out there.

Once the damage is done they can just say whoopsies, it was the interns and then pray they face little to no repercussions.

This is a very optimistic take and assumes all the current polls showing them deadlocked are wrong. Certainly that's possible, but I definitely think Trump has a very real chance of winning. Dems love playing to lose, and man are they trying their hardest yet again to give Trump a chance.
