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.

This is naked corruption in the white house! - chuds libs-owned

First time? - leftists first-time

I don't have anything substantive to add but I just wanted it on the record that I think this is incredibly funny.

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.

michael-laugh hell yes. Every future president will be impeahed, but not for any of their actual crimes. This is the future of the US politics of spectacle. Impeachment is the new vote

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

tbh impeachment was always a political tool expressly and its actually amazing that it took so long for us to get to the point where we starting using it as such instead of some dreaded and special thing

The election cycle is going to be insufferable if both the candidates have been impeached.

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 hunter 's name.

Like come on it's right there for the taking.

can't wait for every president to continue committing horrific atrocities and crimes against humanity while they literally all get impeached (but never ever fucking convicted) over stupid bullshit no one cares about

They need to hurry up if they're going to beat Trump's record of being impeached twice

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Opening the congressional GOP playbook that in big font had "Repeal Obamacare" and scratch it out and replace with "Impeach president"

Much like the trump impeachment this will probably fail and just boost the president's ratings for a while

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah this is proof that the Republicans are just as clueless as the libs. They’re giving the Dems a chance to have people rally behind their back, like how conservatives of all stripes are now rallying behind Trump because the libs have triggered their persecution complex and they now see the indictment as a persecution against conservatism in America.

I'm surprised it took them this long, I assumed after Trump's impeachments that repubs and dems would be in an impeachment slap fight in perpetuity

These guys truly do not give a fuck about the people.

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.
