Beleaguered House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is so scared of the far right and The Former Guy that he has opened an inquiry into impeaching President Biden.
How low can they go? I’m sure they’ll find ways to go lower. But this takes the cake for me.
The GOP lunatic fringe is going to unilaterally turn reelecting President Biden into an all-consuming passion for most Americans
Joe Biden has been called the second FDR for the many things he has helped put into place to help the average American. I won’t enumerate them here. It’s easy enough to find a list of his many accomplishments by googling for them.
Of course, the GOP pooh-poohs those accomplishments while jumping on the bandwagon to stand with him when major projects (which they voted against) start happening in their constituents’ communities. They’re a bunch of opportunists pulling the wool over their low-information voters’ eyes. (Although Joe kinda delights in letting their voters know that their so-called reps voted against the improvements in their communities in a most charming way.)
But the rest of us are wide awake and well aware of what’s actually going on.
They’re trying to equate Trump’s troubles with Biden’s, and the best way to do that is to try to impeach Biden once or twice over the course of the next several months as Trump’s trials begin so they can proclaim, “Both sides are equally corrupt.”(Except that — oh shucky darns — they aren’t.)
Way to win an argument, way to project, way to convince sane voters that there really is no clearer choice than to kick the far-right Trump cult and their congressional sycophants to the curb (in Trump’s case) and out of office (for his officeholders).
Even Vladimir Putin has come to Trump’s defense. Ha ha ha ha ha. That ought to help convince the American public “there’s nothing to see here.” It’s all a concerted coup against poor li’l Donnie Boy…
In fact, what I see happening right now across the board in the Bizarro World of the GOP are a bunch of Terrible Two Tyrants throwing a tantrum. They think they’re right and they’re winning, but when no one intervenes to placate them, they will eventually realize that their tantrum had no effect other than to delay the inevitable. No spanking is even required. Just wait them out, let them kick and yell, and see what it gets them: the boot from ever holding public office again!
Temper-Tossing Toddlers aren’t mature enough to hold public office. Trump and the GOP have proven this in spades.
It’s the grownups in D.C. who are actually getting stuff done for the American people while the terrible two tyrants throw hissy fits and wail.
I am soooooo sick of it all. But the Trumpers will fail, and fall, soon enough.
The fear that Joe Biden might become incapacitated in office and be replaced by VP Kamala Harris may scare racists, sexists and misogynists and make them think twice, but certainly no one of sane, sound mind would choose Trump or Trump wannabes over former prosecutor and (former) Medicare For All proponent Kamala Harris. And there aren’t enough bigoted voters left to make that big a difference anymore, anyway.
Whether we have Joe or Kamala for the next six years, either will be head and shoulders above anyone the GOP is offering up as their standard bearer
I have every confidence that, during this monumental election year, the vast majority of the American people will do what’s right to maintain our precious republican democracy for future generations. I feel this way chiefly because the GOP just can’t seem to stop doing stupid stuff long enough for voters to forget what a bunch of numbskulls (and traitors) they have been — and remain — to the average Joe and Josephine and to this nation.
