Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced Tuesday he is directing the U.S. House to open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden over his family’s business dealings, launching historic proceedings ahead of the 2024 election.
McCarthy said that House investigations so far “paint a picture of a culture of corruption” around the Biden family as Republicans probe the business dealings of the president’s son, Hunter Biden, from before the Democratic president took office.
Four years ago, he was singing a different tune about the power of a Speaker to open an impeachment inquiry.
And
It's nothing but pure vengeful politics. Their guy, as president, pressured a foreign nation to manufacture dirt against Biden. He orchesterated and egged on a violent coup attempt. Those things not only were not impeachable offences to Republicans, someof them allegedly cooperated with the coup attempt.
Speaking of corruption, the Republicans had no problem with the Spawn of the TOFF going all around the world when he was the president, complete with their Secret Service detail, to try and score deals that would enrichen the TOFF family. Not a quibble when foreign governments books large blocks of rooms in the TOFF's failing hotel. They uttered not a peep when the Daughter That The Toff Wants to Bang managed to score a raft of Chinese patents on her handbag designs in rcord time. Not a discouraging word was heard from the QAnon Party when the TOFF's son-in-law amassed a four billion dollar slush fund from Persian Gulf Arabs (half of that from Effendi Bone Saw).
For the 2024 general election, this shit is gold for the Democrats. Nothing about this bullshit will translate into support from independents, let alone democrats. Regardless how people feel about Biden's age, it's clearly obvious that they are far more disquieted about the griftiness and autocratic tendencies of the Party of Treason's leading candidate, with his string of court losses and ninety-one pending felony charges.
And then there is the extremism of the Forced Birth Party, which is a gold mine of attack fodder for the Democrats.
The OLC has a current opinion, binding on Executive Agencies, that they cannot comply with subpoenas if the Impeachment Investigation wasn’t authorized by a vote of the House…dated Jan 19, 2020. Darn the bad luck.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's this aspect:
ReplyDeletePeople with real darkness in their hearts often hide it behind a facade of loudly professed morality and religion....and accuse others of the darkness in their own hearts. As Roy Cohn, himself gay, persecuted the gay community.
Since the Right *knows* it is right and virtuous, it follows that the Left *must* be evil. And if one of theirs is caught hand in the cookie jar, it *must* be so that the Left is doing it worse. So it is that ever since Nixon, the Right has trumpeting its virtue and trying to get the goods (something, *anything*) on the Left.
Growing up in the South,I came to see that the louder someone or somebodies profess their goodness and the goodness of their cause, likely the more skeletons in the closet.
The deeper and uglier they get, the more they deny it.
