Wrong. Not thoroughly useless HOR. The amusement factor of the circular firing squad is fairly high.

And it highlights the inherently craven nature of most pols on both sides of the aisle.

Though the Pubes have really found a new level of sewer dwelling.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." John Rogers

This is stupid. Political performance of the worst sort.

I'm fairly ignorant about the impeachment process. I guess I thought it was essentially reserved for elected holders of office. I didn't realize appointed officials are subject to impeachment. I guess it follows since they have to be confirmed.

So, impeached but will continue in his position when the Senate fails to impeach, I assume?

Right. He remains in office. That will continue to be the case after his acquittal in the Senate.

After his acquittal by the Senate he and his boss will go back to not doing their constitutionally sworn duty while lying and blaming others

But at least they both have the deserved permanent shame of a legit impeachment for a legit reason that hasn’t occurred in 150 years. So at least the house did their duty

Fixed it for you.

after you add the fentanyl deaths caused by Biden's destruction of our southern border (using Mayorkus as his stooge) to your Biden body count list maybe I will worry about anything else you "fix"

🤡

You're hilarious, and your take of the modern drug trade is analogous to a fairy tale. I suggest you read up bit. Start here:

You should really read up on how most fentanyl is making it into the US. I'll give you one the most important highlights, most is coming across the border at legal crossings, carried by US citizens.

Can't be, it's those Mexicans that are ruining everything and we need to be very scared of. I've heard they don't even speak English.

Wait, I thought Biden was the stooge and shadowy deep staters were making decisions.

I thought Trump was still in charge. This is too confusing.

I heard the first fentanyl overdose occured on January 22, 2021. I have no idea what Nancy Reagan was up to all those years ago.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Just of the military.

It's "the generals" in charge. Or JFK, senior or junior. Try to keep up.

If a tree falls in the forest ...

Does anyone really care? This seems like yesterday's news. Literally and figuratively.

So the GOP impeached Mayorkas, and the only people who really care are the diehard MAGA, who wouldn't change how the feel or vote regardless.

funny I heard the same date for the last time any Covid death happened

Holy shit, Mango Mussolini was right!

The is what Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-North Dakota) said about the impeachment

"worst, dumbest exercise and use of time"

Performative stunts designed to rally the low information base is all the GOP has.

Pointless nonsense. I hope they get crushed in the next election.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

Let's be serious for just a minute. Impeachment of anyone is meaningless and no one cares. Be it a Dem or a Repub, we all know it's a political exercise to try and embarrass folks you don't' like. Be it Trump two times or Schipp or Mayorkas.

They should do away with impeachment all together and instead just call each other names for a few minutes and be done with it. About as impactful.

Let me see here. The House has had 3 years to approach any kind of fangled bill to work on border security, but have done Jack to process a bill. But hey lets impeach the cat cause we have done nothing. Oh and when any kind of bill is dropped from the Senate on border security, lets reject it cause it doesn't go far enough. And then lets reject a bill that has nothing to do with the border but with helping our allies cause it doesn't have border security in it. I am confused.

This, if I've learned one thing from Trump it's impeachment means nothing, just a waste of time and tax payer money.

Wait, I thought you said you'd be serious for a minute.

Let's be serious for a minute. This is a direct result of the Republican party treating impeachment with a lack of seriousness.

Impeachment or threat of impeachment has historically been a serious thing and based on actual offenses, frequently with real consequences. Federal officials including Presidents, Senators, Cabinet officials, and judges have been impeached for graft, corruption, conspiracy to aid a foreign power, political bias in judicial rulings, abuse of power, supporting insurrection and secession, tax evasion, perjury, sexual assault, obstruction, and of course incitement to insurrection, and obstruction of Congress. Of the 22 federal officials who have actually been impeached, 13 were either convicted or resigned as a result. It has typically not really been a tit for tat political tool, except now with the Republican House that couldn't legislate itself out of a paper bag because it's too busy running revenge errands for Donald Trump..

Slowguy

(insert pithy phrase here...)

This right here is the exact dangerous outcome the people that want unaccountability want.

SDG and the GOP want impeachment to be meaningless. They don’t want that check on the executive branch. They know that a GOP president will do things that warrant impeachment, so they want impeachment to lose its power.

Sadly are succeeding and it is very bad for our country.

I'm old enough to remember when impeachment actually meant something to Republicans, who pointed to it as a mark of shame.

If I'm remembering correctly, it was known as "The Clinton Years".

Don't forget the lesson we learned with Clinton: Character Matters.

To be clear, it's an attempt by the Republican party to devalue impeachment. Trump was impeached twice. While there may be grounds to argue that the first impeachment didn't rise to the level of what should be an impeachable offense and, in the second case, there wasn't enough evidence yet or that it shouldn't have happened given the timing, there were still colorable claims of impeachable offenses. With Mayorkas, it's about policy disagreements. Rs know that the Mayorkas impeachment will go nowhere and that it will be considered purely partisan policitcs. But they think it will give them the ability to characterize the Trump impeachments as purely partisan in nature.

In their minds, if impeachment means everything, it means nothing.

Another GOP political stunt ends with a whimper.

To be clear, it's an attempt by the Republican party to devalue impeachment

Impeachment has been a joke since Clinton. It's the appearances that matter, not the actual crime. Try to keep up.

It will always be interesting to me that Republicans are:
1) arguing for no oversight for the executive branch (impeachment is dumb/there shouldnt be criminal prosecutions for politicians),
2) while also arguing Biden administration should be impeached for "looking shady."

- all that removing accountability for politicians does is allow bad actors to do bad things. If people want to bring forward dumb impeachments, let them - and they should be called out for bringing forward dumb impeachments.
