Every year I think that the shenanigans R’s pull will make them suffer in the next election. Still, with gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the “if they go low, we stay high” attitude we have, the election ends up becoming a coin toss.
Lololol. The border situation that is objectively better than last year even with Title 42 ending and trending downward?
Also, these are encounters/apprehensions, which by the very definition of those terms means we are interdicting illegal crossers. So if you want to play the game of “record apprehensions!” Then, great. Kudos to the Biden administration for stopping the most people ever. More than Trump! More than Obama! More than Bush!
This is a waste of time and resources. For the party that throws “witch hunt” around, I can’t think of a better term to describe this type of BS.
Fixing our immigration issues requires nuance and compromise. Neither of those things are an earmark of our current Congress or political climate.
They should be required to compare all previous presidents for the particular reason and judge if any of them would be impeached on the same standard because that one is super vague and applicable to all previous presidents.
For the “crime” of not being a far right Republican and for the “crime” of Trump having been impeached twice. Those are the only “crimes” that these extremists care about. They also don’t care that, even if they convince 50%+1 Representatives to vote to impeach, this will die in the Senate. They’ll impeach Biden three times just so Trump isn’t the most impeached President and they’ll claim that their purely political impeachments somehow prove that the impeachments of Trump were purely political as well
Notably, Biden was not involved in either impeachment. Just as he’s not involved in the current investigations (remember those special councils)? With the exception of the ones Garland is running, he has no influence… and garland is treating trump with ultimate kiddie gloves so far.
The Republicans don’t care about that. They just want to make it so that impeachments become a “normal political thing that always happens” so they can pretend that Trump being impeached twice was just Democrats being political instead of Trump being a dangerous threat to our democracy.
It makes sense if you run with the assumption that a chunk of people serving in Congress genuinely treat the whole job as a competitive game or roleplaying scenario. It was all good for a while, but now they have drawn in the weird kids who play too aggressively, and there’s little they can do to bring everything back on track without giving up and breaking character.
Im not sure impeaching Biden is a good idea even if they had grounds and could accomplish it, impeachments typically raise a presidents numbers and thats not what they want
What for? It’s hard to imagine him doing anything impeachable considering all the shit the last guy got away with.
He has a D next to his name, which in itself is an impeachable offense to half the House.
It’s being led by Lauren Boebert which is really all you need to know about it, but the reason given:

To turn it into a thing that just happens every time, so that Trump’s two impeachments lose meaning while also getting some form of “revenge.”
According to the article, it’s for dereliction of duty over the southern border.
It’s a bunch of bs lol
