Congress GOP Impeachment Joe Biden

Biden Has The Perfect Three-Word Response To GOP Calls For His Impeachment

On Tuesday, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy announced that he would instruct the relevant committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, even though he has yet to lay out a shred of evidence that ties the president to any high crimes or misdemeanors.

In his statement to the media, CNN notes, McCarthy tried to justify the move.

“These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption,” the California Republican said in remarks outside his office on Capitol Hill. “They warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives. That’s why today I am directing our House (committees) to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.”

The House-led GOP investigations have yet to provide any direct evidence that the president financially benefited from Hunter Biden’s career overseas.

McCarthy is also skirting House rules by not calling for a formal vote of the full House to determine if a majority support an inquiry. That’s because the Speaker knows he doesn’t have the votes needed to pass such a motion, and losing on a vote would be devastating to him as he attempts to fight off extremist right-wingers in the GOP caucus who are eager to get payback for the two impeachments of failed former president Donald Trump.

Though the White House has made a few carefully worded comments on the impeachment inquiry, with spokesperson Ian Sams calling it “extreme politics at its worst,” Biden had remained mum.

Until today, that is.

As he returned to the White House on Sunday, Biden was asked about the inquiry by reporters. His response was curt and to the point.

“Lots of luck!”

Dark Brandon knows exactly how to troll the GOP.

Boebert Fake Apologizes For Her Lewd ‘Beetlejuice’ Behavior – Blames It On Her Divorce

Having been caught vaping, felt up, and attempting to give her boyfriend a hand job during a performance of the play “Beetlejuice” in Denver, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is now issuing a fake apology to try and minimize the political fallout that has begun and could well cost her the 2024 election.

The Guardian reports that Boebert issued a statement in which she tried to blame her recent divorce for acting like a horny teen out on a date for the first time.

“The past few days have been difficult and humbling, and I’m truly sorry for the unwanted attention my Sunday evening in Denver has brought to the community,” Boebert said in the apology, as reported by the Colorado Sun.

Boebert added that her “public and difficult divorce” has created a “challenging personal time for me and my entire family”.

“I’ve tried to handle it with strength and grace as best I can, but I simply fell short of my values on Sunday,” Boebert said.

 

When the story first broke on Tuesday, Boebert suggested she had done nothing wrong, writing on Twitter:

“It’s true, I did thoroughly enjoy the AMAZING Beetlejuice at the Buell Theatre and I plead guilty to laughing and singing too loud!

“Everyone should go see it if you get the chance this week and please let me know how it ends!”

Laughing and singing too loud? How about the groping, tit grabbing, and junk rubbing, Bobo?

And yet, this is the same woman who tells us drag performers are a threat to children.

Nancy Pelosi Uses A Hilarious Hand Gesture To Express Her Disgust With Kevin McCarthy

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) made it clear Wednesday evening exactly what she thinks about how Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is running things in the lower chamber of Congress, and the hand gesture she used to express herself set off laughter on social media.

Speaking with Anderson Cooper, Pelosi noted that the only reason McCarthy agreed to open an impeachment inquiry aimed at President Joe Biden is because he is so terrified of losing the Speaker’s gavel that he has given into every demand made of him by GOP extremists.

“You have to impeach the president or else we’re going to vacate the chair of speaker,” Pelosi said. “You have to shut down government or else we’re going to vacate the chair of speaker. This is not responsible governance, but it’s the chaos on the Republican side.”

Cooper asked if that doesn’t put McCarthy in what can best be called an “impossible situation.”

“Yeah. The incredibly shrinking speakership.”

As she made the comment, Pelosi also made a gesture with her hand that suggested either something being crushed or shriveling up, much like the so-called speakership of Kevin McCarthy.

It didn’t take long for Twitter users to express their delight.

Here’s the full Cooper-Pelosi interview:

Revealing Report Links Key Republicans To The 2020 Election Conspiracy

Despite the indictment of failed former president Donald Trump and some of his key alleged co-conspirators in the 2020 plot to overturn the results of the 2020 election, members of Congress who participated in the crime have gone uncharged and unscathed, which some have suggested needs to change.

Thanks to the New York Times and Former ethics czar Norm Eisen, we now know the names of those who are alleged to have actively participated on the attempted overthrow of the U.S. government as elected by the people.

Using a map that shows the many connections between Trump, the White House, and members of the GOP, Eisen and the Times have now given s a roadmap which the Justice Department would be wise to follow.

Among those listed as an “enabler” is Republican National Committee chair Ronna Romney McDaniel, with legal analyst Ryan Goodman noting, “I think the most damning (evidence) comes under the heading of the scheme to set up these false slate of electors, individuals from the GOP who would have been the electors if Trump had won those states, to certify that he had in fact won states that Biden had clearly won.”

“That seems to just be a federal crime that is a very, very active part of the current special counsel’s investigation. New evidence, brand new that we have not seen before that directs it right at Trump and Mark Meadows.”

And then we have the Republican lawmakers, all of who are listed by Eisen: Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), as well as Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Josh Hawley (R-MO).

“Congressional cowards (looking at you Ted Cruz and Josh ‘First Salute’ Hawley!) gave comfort to the insurrectionists, and some voted against certifying Joe Biden’s victory — even after the sacking of the Capitol,” Eisen explains.

Amazingly, none of the Republicans in the House and Senate who played a role in the 2020 conspiracy have yet been indicted for their role in what is clearly considered to be a crime under both federal and state laws. Will that ever change, or will some of the guilty parties be allowed to walk away unscathed and remain a part of the government? If they are, what’s to stop them from trying again and perhaps succeeding the next time?

Congress GOP Impeachment Joe Biden

WATCH: CNN Host Swats Down Matt Gaetz For Lying About GOP’s Bogus Impeachment Inquiry

On Tuesday, without a formal vote of the full House of Representatives, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) instructed the relevant House committees to begin a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

In his announcement, McCarthy said, “These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption. They warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives.”

McCarthy’s move was a complete capitulation to extremists in the House GOP caucus. One of those members, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), later praised McCarthy’s move, but also suggested he might call for the Speaker’s removal, Newsweek notes:

“I rise today to serve notice: Mr. Speaker, you are out of compliance with the agreement that allowed you to assume this role. The path forward for the House of Representatives is to either bring you into immediate, total compliance or remove you pursuant to a motion to vacate the chair,” Gaetz said on the House floor.

“So we’re either going to get compliance, or we’re going to start having votes on motions to vacate, and we’re gonna have them regularly. I don’t anticipate them passing immediately. But I think that, you know, if we have to begin every single day in Congress with the prayer, the pledge and the motion to vacate, so be it.”

Gaetz appeared on CNN Tuesday evening to explain why he supported the impeachment inquiry called for by McCarthy, citing “bank records, devices, laptops, travel records” as “evidence” of high crimes and misdemeanors by President Biden.

But when host Abby Phillip explained that Republicans have yet to provide a shred of actual evidence against the president, a flabbergasted Gaetz exclaimed, “Are you trying to tell your viewers you don’t believe Joe Biden was involved in Hunter Biden’s–“

Phillip responded:

“Congressman, it’s not what I believe, it’s about whether there is evidence that president Biden is linked to the misdeeds that might be linked to Hunter Biden. That’s the issue.”

There is absolutely no evidence of crimes by President Biden. There are only accusations without any substance and constant mentions of alleged misdeeds by the president’s son, Hunter, who has never worked a day in the administration, unlike Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who were top advisers to failed former president Donald Trump and later received a $2 billion payoff of gratitude from a Saudi investment firm.

House Republicans are about to go down a road that will lead to them getting wiped out in the 2024 election, so at least something good will come from their idiocy.
