House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Tuesday said he is directing three House committees to open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden in an effort to seek bank records and other documents from the president and his son Hunter Biden.
lol. lmao, even
Will the Squirtle pics be shown in congress?
I just want healthcare.png
more drama sloppies for me yum yumhes fired
I predict this exchange between a reporter and McCarthy…
“What evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors do you have to go forward with impeachment?”
“In two words - Hunter Biden.”
The right-wing doesn’t need a real reason or even a reason that makes sense. They just need something that can fit on bumper sticker. Plus - there’s the added benefit that mocking norms and not even pretending about the way things should work drives libs insane.
😔
I’m incredibly upset that there haven’t been attack-lines from the GOP about drug decriminalization efforts in blue states being a tactic to clear
's name.Like come on it’s right there for the taking.
I don’t have anything substantive to add but I just wanted it on the record that I think this is incredibly funny.
Fetterman’s reaction was very enjoyable:

Honestly surprised it took them this long. I assumed they were going to pass a couple impeach votes once they captured the house so that Biden would have been impeached more times than Trump.
Maybe the ploy is to time it so it’s mostly next year. Spend 9 months fishing around for anything then launch impeachment in late summer or early fall 24.
if they started off with it it would be stale news by election season and you know what American memories are like
So the right wing media will make a big deal out of any findings, which will probably have some corruption uncovered but of the vanilla, boilerplate variety everyone does in DC, the conservative base will get frothy over it, the libs will Nothingburger it, everyone else will see it as more “both parties are corrupt” background noise, impeached in the house, senate acquits.

If this happens he should be impeached and convicted. I am SO fucking over poo-pooing fucking federal corruption scandals. I don’t care if they’re all doing it. Even more reason. Kushner should’ve been put on trial.
This is naked corruption in the white house! - chuds
First time? - leftists
Every president from here on out is gonna get impeached the instant the opposition has the House
Yeah just going to become a standard “rile up the base” tactic
I wouldn’t want a lefty house to hold any punches against a party that represents capital. If it’s something they can do, why not?
Sure, but neither of these are lefty parties, they’re both just slightly different flavors of the ‘pro-capital’ sludge
I’m not against this all, mind you; it’s less time spent proposing legislation for murdering innocent people, and is at least amusingly stupid
Yes, please don’t mistake me for someone who believes this is effectual governing. It’s a funny development and I can imagine the tears on @[email protected] 's face when impeachment is as traditional as being sworn in
Get down Mr. President
OMG is that Duane
If you want to add another total failure to the record, be my guest, Karen. I mean Kevin.
Do we say “Karen” here? Has there been a struggle sesh over this yet?
Well we all love it when BMF goes off about PMC DSA Karens not eating their bugloaf, but they also keep getting banned, so it’s unclear.
An opportunity to take a swipe at Biden and distract from the impending shutdown? Manna from heaven!
Even the Senate GOP says this is Dumb and Bad
Wait, they’re doing debt ceiling shit again? Feels like they literally just did that
The US can’t innovate anymore in any capacity it’s just re-runs
The writer’s strike has hit everybody hard.
