House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) explained on Sunday why it was important for the House to vote on formalizing an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
Just three days later, and after Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy flip-flopped on his vow to hold a vote before launching the probe, Jordan, one of the three co-chairs of the impeachment inquiry, pulled his own 180 by telling Fox & Friends, “We don’t need that to move forward” because McCarthy’s pronouncement “gives added weight to it.”
Despite having no concrete evidence to support Republican allegations that the president was involved in any wrongdoing as it relates to his family’s business dealings, McCarthy capitulated to MAGA hardliners on Tuesday and announced he was unilaterally opening an impeachment inquiry.
Remember folks: as long as they keep the media focused on what a clown show this literally baseless impeachment effort is, it keeps us from the real issue:
Republicans are doing NOTHING to help solving the healthcare crisis, debt crisis, housing crisis, or any other problem that is making life a nightmare for Americans.
Is it just me or are all of those problems directly related to republican or at least conservative policies? Healthcare crisis because they oppose universal healthcare, debt crisis because they don’t believe in regulations on banks as well as bailing out Wall Street whenever they ask these days, a housing crisis because we let corporations run wild and buy up single family homes for the sole purpose of renting them at incredibly unaffordable rent levels. I think you can point to many instances where we are in the situation we are in, specifically because they are incapable of governing for the people and not for themselves and their friends.
Conservatives have been making life shittier forever. LITERALLY their only core principal is to be against progress.
Conservatives were pro-slavery. Conservatives were anti-union. Conservatives didn’t want women to vote. Conservatives wanted segregation.
At every step in our evolution as a civilization, conservatives look at what LIBERALS did in the past and they say, “that was great, but enough is enough!”.
If they actually do it, they’d have to present evidence, and they don’t have any.
It’s a lose/lose situation for the party. But the hardcore trumpets get points demanding it, so they’re gonna keep demanding it.
I don’t think they need evidence. They just want the headlines so they can point to them later on. They did the same thing with Hillary Clinton. Decades of poisoning the well so that when she ran for President they would rerun the greatest hits. Millions spent on investigating benghazi and it turned out they had asked for more money for security and the Repubs voted it down.
And that’s exactly why Trump got impeached the first time: he wanted an investigation to point to from the Ukrainian government and knew it wouldn’t matter to Republicans if it had merit or not.
I mean, Hillary was a terrible choice, though… I voted for her to oppose Donald Trump, but I only did that out of fear he might win. I was right to vote, but I hated doing it.
To be fair, I also hated voting for Joe Biden… But I hated that vote for Hillary more. God, we really do have shit democratic candidates… No wonder the country is suffering.
Seems like the longer your service, the more you owe favors to everyone and the more money you get for those favors. I can’t remember the exact figures, but MTG from Georgia went from in debt to a millionaire in 2 years or whatever. Annual salary is 174k
Anybody that wants to get shit done usually makes deals with the devil and Hillary was corporate as fuck. If your donors don’t want anything passed that might affect their money, they get paid to stall, cry communism, and vote against everything.
THE Jim Jordan? The one that ignored and then covered up child rape allegations? Is that the Jim Jordan?
They don’t have the votes. Whata shitshow.
Flip-flops like the kind people use in locker room showers?
I’m not really surprised.
Jim Jordan is scummier than shower shoes.
Republicans operating in bad faith? I’m shocked.
I wonder what would happen if Biden directed Democrats to support the impeachment process on the grounds that Republicans don’t actually have any evidence and they want to get it out of the way so they can get back to governing.
Force the
fascistsRepublicans to shit or get off the pot. Show that the far right promises to “get Biden” are nothing but cons, let them take the hit, while Biden gets the boost for being unjustly persecuted by the real criminals.People rag on Trudeau for having been a drama teacher prior to politics…
The GOP-led house is a theatre filled with dramatic artists!
I have zero relevant knowledge, but based on the fucked-up mirror world we live in, where Dems manage to provide marginally arguable counter examples for all of the GOP’s worst behaviors, if one squints hard enough, I’m pretty confident that something ugly is waiting to be found in Joe’s banking history.
I have zero relevant knowledge
Well at least you’re honest about that
