Who do you think will be doing that? Not the House.Then onto questioning McConnell, because I have a strong feeling he's in bed with the CCP as well.

I am a little disappointed they haven’t announced articles of impeachment already.
While Biden certainly has done things that could arguably rise to the level of impeachable offense, I don't think the classified documents thing does. It is a criminal matter at this point. (Maybe if the docs had been discovered while he was still VP?)I think if this happened in the 90s a democrat POTUS could be impeached for storing classified documents obtained while vice president in his garage in boxes.

Political theater doesn't work for Republicans with the general public. It only works on republican voters.Anything they were to try to impeach him for would just be theater.
The committee investigations have a slightly better chance of being fruitful.
Yes. But it would be so delicious to tell Biden that no matter what, he will always be impeached. If for no other reason that to remind democrats of the political cost of what they did. And. **** joe biden.Just doing it to do it to get back at the other side because they did it isn't a good use of the republican's time. Biden will be gone in 2 years one way or another. The republicans have 2 years to focus on 2024 with policy, a clear distinction from the dem's and not have a dog and pony chaos show in the presidential primaries with a bunch of wanabe's. They don't need to wander out in the mud and get bogged down. It only plays into the opposition's hands.
That is the only reason it would be worth it.Yes. But it would be so delicious to tell Biden that no matter what, he will always be impeached. If for no other reason that to remind democrats of the political cost of what they did. And. **** joe biden.
I think there are other legitimate reasons to impeach Biden. The Afghanistan withdrawl. Weaponizing government against political enemies if it could be proven that Biden had a hand in it. And several others. But, there isn't enough political capital to pay for it. But, I'd support the reasoning of just political karma at this point.That is the only reason it would be worth it.
Yes, I understand that. But I wouldn't do it right out of the gates and let it become the overriding narrative for anything else they want to do.Yes.

But you don't understand. What Clinton did was an attack on Democracy and treat to our National Security!"The point was that republicans spent a lot of political capital impeaching Clinton. They were always going to impeach him. They just had to find a reason..."
Pragmatically, no. Republicans should not impeach Biden unless they have the goods on actual high crimes. Like if they find a smoking gun on Biden having something to do with weaponizing the DOJ against politial enemies. Or especially if they can prove Biden got paid by the CCP to aid them.Yes, I understand that. But I wouldn't do it right out of the gates and let it become the overriding narrative for anything else they want to do.
If bad decisions were reason to impeach, all Presidents should have been impeached.I think there are other legitimate reasons to impeach Biden. The Afghanistan withdrawl.

But also a double edge sword, that cuts both ways... if it's sufficient to impeach Biden, then it's sufficient to indict Trump.Yes.

True, but if those charges are sufficient to indict Trump... then the same lawbreaking should be sufficient to impeach Biden.If bad decisions were reason to impeach, all Presidents should have been impeached.
Is that what we want now? Each time the House is led by the opposition we impeach the President?But also a double edge sword, that cuts both ways... if it's sufficient to impeach Biden, then it's sufficient to indict Trump.
And, vice versa.

The problem is, then both are legitimized. It's the problem with whataboutism. As soon as you say, what about what Biden did, if that's bad, it's also bad for Trump. Or visa-versa.True, but if those charges are sufficient to indict Trump... then the same lawbreaking should be sufficient to impeach Biden.
That's not what I was addressing... I was addressing the mis-handling of classified documents... if it's a sufficient crime to indict a former president (and to raid his home) then it's clear to me it's a sufficient crime to "indicit", i.e. impeach, a sitting president.Is that what we want now? Each time the House is led by the opposition we impeach the President?
I agree. Beating them badly with their own stick (see: enacting limitations to the filibuster for judge confirmations) is likely to be the most certain way to restore the old norms. As long as only one side bears the brunt of bad behavior it will continue to be so usedYes. But it would be so delicious to tell Biden that no matter what, he will always be impeached.
