McCarthy opens impeachment inquiry

Everyone who knows Joe Biden agrees that he is righteous, honest and good-spirited -- a far better person than most politicians. Not corrupt, and certainly not a criminal.

Even Lindsay Graham -- now a despicable Trump-licking scum -- was videoed saying "If you can't admire Joe Biden as a person then you got a problem; you need to do some self-evaluation."

It will be interesting to see how many QOP Congresscritters vote to impeach this good man. Everyone of them should forfeit the right to be taken seriously or even called "American." Anyone who donates to any of these scumbags' campaign coffers should be boycotted. Et cetera.
 
Back to reality … from Zipr’s link:

House Committees’ Authority to Investigate for Impeachment

The House of Representatives must expressly authorize a committee to conduct an impeachment investigation and to use compulsory process in that investigation before the committee may compel the production of documents or testimony in support of the House’s power of impeachment.”

Pretty straight up. This should be tattooed on Comer and Gym Jordan’s forehead. With a ten penny nail.
Thanks, Donald. Once again - you have to live by your own rules. Karma’s a bitch, right?
:hysterical:
 
How is an offense committed by someone else at a time when one wasn't president anyway an impeachable matter?
Just let them get started, they’re sure they’ll figure it out along the way….

It will be like Whitewater, 5 years, $47 million dollars and no crimes uncovered by the Clintons. Until the never ending witch hunt finally got shut down. This is what this will end up being more of the same. BS going on and on, weaponizing impeachment and finding nothing while the Republicans slobber and drool angrily, telling us where there is smoke, there must be fire.

Benghazi! Benghazi! Benghazzzzzzzi! Her emails! Hunter Biden's laptop! Whitewater!
Bill Clinton's blowjob!

The Whitewater investigation went nowhere, 'tis true...but it led to the investigation of Bubba's sexcapades, which led to a completely unrelated trial where he lied under oath, and that was a (barely) legit reason to at least try impeachment...? Perjury over a blow job is what counted as a "high crime and misdemeanor" because that was all they could come up with. So the witch hunt didn't so much get shut down as it evolved (morphed? Mutated?) into "well shit...we'll find something eventually" endeavor. I'm of the opinion that - like this time - the GOP settled on impeachment first, then set about trying to find a crime that fit.
Likewise, the endless investigations into Benghazi led to discovering Hillary Clinton's e-mail server. There's no doubt that paid off for Republicans.

The lesson learned by Republicans is that ongoing investigations yield serendipitous results. The media has to cover the daily gyrations, and every day, certain people get the message reinforced in their minds that Biden must be corrupt.
 
Like many parliamentary bodies, the House of Reps makes its own rules. But I am confused; can anyone answer these questions:

(1) In January the House "needed" to elect a Speaker before it could do any other business. Why? What was stopping a Member from rising and saying "I move that the election of Speaker be postponed so that the Clerk can serve as Acting Speaker and swear in the Members"?

(2) Lauren Boebert and the other hate-filled traitors made McCarthy agree to rule changes, e.g. that any Member could force a vote to vacate the Speakership. Was this rule-change ever voted on? Or did McCarthy have the power to change the rules all by himself once elected? In either case, what's stopping them from changing the rules now, assuming they can get 51% of the vote? (Presumably even some of the rational Members might vote for such a rule change since the alternative is to hold the entire government hostage to the whims of Boebert, Gaetz and MTG.)

Speaking of Gaetz, why was he never charged with felony trafficking of an underage child? Even without prosecution shouldn't reputable news organizations captionize the charges against him whenever he's on-screen?
 
It’s true, babs.

Sarcasm?
No, truth.
Can you find ANYONE who actually knows Joe Biden personally who thinks he is not a good person? Nope.
OTOH, Trump has all the best people, and all the best people will tell you he is a scumbag.
 
If Biden were senile, corrupt or a war criminal, you’d have a good point.
He is all of these things. Most of your presidents are all (except senile) of these things.
At least Biden isn't Putin's lapdog like Trump is.
Trump is all of those things plus a lieutenant of a powerful enemy of my country. Whether Trump is smart enough to realize it or not.

If they actually do pass articles of impeachment, what will be the specific accusations of the articles?

Maybe it's another Clinton plan. They could keep asking personal, family things...like when did he know about Hunter's laptop problem, did he try to stop the laptop or let it keep going, did he see the dirty posters Marjorie Taylor Greene held up or deliberately ignore them? Eventually, they'll get him for lying under oath.
 
I found articles of impeachment by one Russianpublican:

There are 4. They are essentially Hunter Biden did this and that and maybe Joe knew about it. So "collusion" "fraud" "conspiracy," but of course we have to investigate it more to _prove_ he was involved. We'll keep investigating it over and over, delving into Hunter Biden, releasing his wrongdoings and photos on posters in an election year right up to the vote so everyone can see just how guilty Hunter--oops, I mean Joe--Biden was.

It’s not clear that they care.
Beating Trump like a cheap drum is the main thing. The actual allegation is that there are allegations. Just like the “Trump Won” lie, also based on nothing but allegations.
Allegations are the nuclear arsenal with which Republicans are going to war against democracy. The beauty is that they will never run out of ammo. More allegations can always be brought to bear.

The people who refused to impeach a President who led an insurrection against the US gov’t that endangered the lives of some of their colleagues are making the impeachment process meaningless for political grandstanding, if Biden is impeached expect every POTUS who faces a House dominated by the opposition to get impeached.
