Republicans still reeling over the impeachment of their savior, Donald Trump, are planning an impeachment vote of their own (and a few dirty tricks) against President Biden should they retake Congress in November.
Politics :
Yes, the modern-day Republican Party of Kevin McCarthy, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and a few others have borrowed a page from the Donald Trump Handbook of Revenge and are intending to use their political positions to get even ahead of conducting America’s business.
According to Forbes, Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has posted his party’s “Commitment to America” –- complete with a colorful website detailing all the GOP intends to do should they regain control of Congress in the midterm election.
In their new committment, House Republicans have doubled down on an extreme MAGA agenda to criminalize women’s health care, slash Medicare for seniors, repeal lower drug prices for seniors approved in the Inflation Reduction Act, and more.
However, Republicans don’t intend to stop there.
The GOP has already decided to hold an impeachment vote against President Biden for crimes that are yet unknown and that he hasn’t committed yet. In fact, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she intends to demand an impeachment vote every single week if her party is given the reigns to Congress.
According to Rep. Nancy Mace (who voted against impeaching Donald Trump), there’s “a lot of pressure” on Republicans to impeach Biden.
“I think that is something that some folks are considering,” she said in a tepid admission during an appearance on NBC’s MEET THE PRESS.
“If that happens, I do believe it’s divisive, which is why I push back on it personally when I hear folks saying they’re going to file articles of impeachment in the House,” Mace said. “I push back against those comments because we need to be working together.”
Interestingly, The White House is reportedly gaining confidence that the various investigations and plans of an impeachment vote against the president by congressional Republicans are almost sure to backfire politically.
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough couldn’t agree more and said that such political tomfoolery could cost Republicans a shot at winning.
“So impeachment, for the most part, makes the party base feel great,” but “It is a political loser,” Scarborough said.
Looking back on repeated attempts by the GOP to defund the Affordable Care Act under President Barack Obama, GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois said: a Republican impeachment vote and other dirty tricks are “going to look like child’s play in terms of what Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to demand” of Kevin McCarthy.
“They’re going to demand an impeachment vote on President Biden every week,” Kinzinger said while adding that he expects peer pressure to force other Republicans to get on board.
“Tribalism is deeply ingrained,” the retiring Kinzinger added. “I think people, in many cases, more than they fear death, they fear being kicked out of the tribe.”

As much as I’ve come to respect the Courage of both GOP Representatives, Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, I wish they wouldn’t act like “IT” (White tribalism in the Republican party) is a new thing!?!
Anyone, and I do mean Anyone, who has given even the slightest bit of attention to the history of the Republican party since the Civil Right Movement – AND has a spec of intelligence – knows darn well that….
“IT” AIN’T!
