    I know how easy it is to ignore real facts for you. Ignore this.
    Real credible Republicans who are incumbents don't lose in landslides with only 29% of the vote ending their political career in a single election.
    But you tell yourself anything you need to get you through the night.

    I disagree... I think if the Repubs take back the House.... (which thanks to Democrats illegal rule change, has caused an absolute phuster cluck in the counting and processing), impeachment should be the first matter...
    Biden is directing the enforcement branches of the federal government against his political enemies.
    Biden’s violation of U.S. immigration law constitutes treason.
    Biden’s corrupt activities constitute treason.
    Biden taking showers with his daughter...

    impeach with no removal.... ask Pelosi... follow her example... get the word "impeached" next to Joe Biden name.... that is what the world see's... star chamber in the basement kind of stuff.. 3 impeachments outa do it... I remember Pelosi peeing her pants every time she kept saying 2 impeachments for Trump... a 3 time'er should shut her up..

    and then throw in a Mueller investigation with full knowledge he would not prosecute, and 2 years out, still not prosecuted...

    But the constitution requires a Senate super majority of 60% to convict and you'll never get the requisite 8-9 Democrats to vote for impeachment.

    The Texas restaurant program? My understanding is that the businesses are required to show they're hurting because of covid.
    No doubt.

    Who cares?...

    we need to throw the "logical" stuff out the window.... Put the word "impeached" by Biden's name.... the "court of public opinion" will take care of the rest... have we not learned the dirty tricks the Dems just played for the last 6 years....just get Joe impeached by the House... just like we just seen happen to Trump... the word impeached... Removed nope, the word impeached, yep... the Senate is irrelevant, just like with Trump, and Pelosi knew it...

    I am thinking like you.... it won't do any good... but when I go 30,000 feet and look at it.... yea their dirty little trick can be used against them.

    and the best part of it all, just like with Trump.... we the tax payers get to pay for it...

    That's logical, given that it was under attack by the MAGA repubs.

    Think they'll steal the House too, or just the Senate?

    Any house rep can submit an impeachment resolution. Are these articles of impeachments drawn up by the Speaker and voted on?

    MTG, House Republicans have introduced more than a dozen impeachment resolutions against President Biden and his officials

    As far as I'm concerned, it only becomes and impeachment when the Speaker formally draws up articles of impeachment, and it passes the house and thus is put into effect and there is an actual impeachment and a trial in the senate. To date, that as only happened to Clinton, once, and Trump, twice (though there wasn't a real trial on the last impeachment). When the prez is impeached anf is acquitted, that, in my book, is what 'attempt' means.

    You don't impeach for policy disagreements.

    You impeach for abuses of power. No president in history has solved the immigration problem. America is a victim of it's own success, people want to come here, and they will always come here in quantities very difficult to manage, without resorting to inhumane treatment, which, apparently, is what Republicans were willing to do when they ripped children permanently from the arms of their parents for no crime greater than a class B misdemeanor.

    You can disagree with that policy, but you can't impeach a president for being not being willing to do 'zero tolerance' because that is the result.

    The Constitution is perfectly clear. Abortion is none of the federal government's, including SCOTUS, business. That is the way Alito and company ruled, period.

    "Abuse of power" is nowhere to be found in the Constitution in the criteria for impeachment (or anywhere else for that matter). Hell, "abuse of power" is not even illegal.

    You make the claim (by repeating the president's vacuous claim), the onus is yours to provide evidence.

    Sorry I do not do your work for you.

    Otherwise, your reply is dismissed.

    The articles of impeachment do not require codification, though they could include criminal code violations.

    High Crimes and misdemeanors is a term of art, borrowed from historical British Parliament/Monarchy going back to the 14th century, the wiki entry:

    In Federalist No. 65, Alexander Hamilton said, "those offences which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated political, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself."[10]

    It refers to acts committed by persons of such authority that common people cannot commit, such as 'abuse of power' ( because unless you are president or a person of high authority, such as as a judge or justice, you can't commit it).

    Yes, 'abuse of power' is most certainly considered a 'high crime and misdemeanor'.

    Abuse of power is not High.

    Nothing fake about it. Sessions is one of the main people who convinced Trump that this was a good idea. It was AFTER the Mueller report that Sessions was fired by Trump because he did not do his bidding. That is a historical record.

    As for taking the rugs out, the GOP did not renew the Special prosecutor's time and he had no more time left to interview Trump and certain associates of his. That is why his report was incomplete and is only based on the evidence ALREADY gathered by the FBI and intelligence sources.

    He recused himself from allowing the DOJ to investigate directly, which allowed the GOP to appoint a special prosecutor. Without him saying one thing or another, or saying, "the DOJ under my direction" should take up the mantle" he all but assured a special prosecutor. He was also one of the main persons to convince Trump why this was a good thing. Remember, Trump fired Sessions because Sessions refused to circumvent Mueller, among other things.

    That is not what Republicans are saying about Joe Biden and William Jefferson Clinton. They considered high crimes impeachable offenses. I guess the do as I say and not as I do just hit your arse again.

    Let's review.
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uni...ads,of the United States on all legal matters.
    The AG is a member of the Executive branch and serves at the pleasure of the POTUS. You can bet that Garland would be fired if he pissed Biden off.

    No one is arguing against that. But what Trump wanted was for Sessions to conduct the investigation so that Trump can manipulate the investigation to his favor no matter what. That is why the AG Sessions recused himself. And by doing that, it gave way to the special prosecutor.
