The do nothing party is doing something

[happyhoix]

With six republicans voting ‘present’ the House voted to censor Schiff along party lines.

Their problem with Schiff? He pushed to impeach Trump years ago. 

Several GOP House members are also pushing to impeach Biden. 

Comer and his buddies pledge to continue to purse the heinous Biden crime syndicate, because what Hunter got charged with was not punishment enough. 

Glad to see the GOP took time out of their busy schedules whinging about trans people, teachers grooming children, and CRT school curriculum to adopt their new pastime of playing tit for tat with the Dems. 

Good thing there’s not more important stuff going on in the world that would require their attention.

It's not even tit for tat. It's just open retaliatory politics. Not that I ever really thought they did, but they just keep proving over and over how little credibility they have. 

I really don't get how people can continue to support this clown show in the numbers they do.

Liked his response:

Schiff called the move “a badge of honor” link

Well, the Republican house needs to do something to make good on their promises to their base.

It's not like they can do anything about most of the stuff they got their base all riled up about.

If the Republican don't have something to toot their horn about accomplishing the MAGAt base may turn on them.

FWIW: I'm pretty sure trump's re-election platform is how he will retaliate against anyone he doesn't like or who has crossed him in the past.
He's literally campaigning on getting back at the people who have wronged, thwarted, or disagreed with him.

Good piece on how McCarthy has no control over the far right end of his party and that’s why they’re falling over themselves attempting to impeach everyone.

I'd seen bits on Twitter about MTG calling Boebert a little b****. Now I know why.

Boebert said that if the committees slow-roll action, she would bring her resolution back to the floor “every day for the rest of my time here in Congress,” forcing a House vote on Biden’s impeachment.



Rank-and-file Republicans were angry at being forced into the position of having to vote on a resolution to impeach Biden even though they had not gone through the traditional process of an impeachment inquiry. They resented a single lawmaker jumping the queue of priorities.



In one fiery exchange overheard on the House floor, hard-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene laid into Boebert for taking the Biden impeachment on her own. Greene has her own articles of impeachment against the president.



Greene confirmed the exchange later and said of Boebert, “She has a great skill and talent for making most people here not like her.”

Boebert declined to comment about the conversation, only saying it's "not middle school."

Sure sounds like middle school.

Teen pretty much nailed it.  These are the people we put in charge of running our country and they can't even get past the high school drama.  Heaven help us all.

[teen persuasion]

Well, Boebert didn't actually graduate HS; I think she needed multiple tries on the GED.

Greene graduated both HS and College, although I’m certain both institutions cringe when she opens her mouth about Jewish space lasers and peach tree dishes.

Oh yeah, and she didn’t realize Ukraine was in Europe. 

Her daddy had money, I’m guessing he was able to somehow grease the educational wheels for her. Or maybe she got hit on the head after school and it knocked all the knowledge out - who knows.

So Boebert will bring her impeachment motion back to the House floor every single day she’s in congress. 

Great use of the House time. An even better motivation for the folks back in Colorado to give her the boot. (She barely got re-elected last time). 

What a useless person.

the guy who nearly beat her is running against her again.
he will probably win, for about a dozen reasons, not the least of 
which is that on-presidential years tend to favor Democrats.

The Republican-led push for a congressional pay increase comes just weeks after GOP leaders negotiated a debt ceiling agreement with President Joe Biden that imposes new work requirements on older recipients of federal food aid, a change that experts say is likely to strip benefits from around 750,000 low-income people.



Congressional Republicans are also pushing for even steeper cuts to federal spending than were agreed upon in the debt ceiling deal, threatening a government shutdown.



Meanwhile, the House GOP is working to pass legislation that would hand the top 1% of U.S. earners $28 billion in tax cuts next year.

     Yup.  Scr*wing the middle class & the poor.  But amazingly, they don't include that fact in their campaign commercials.

that is true!  there was no TIT.  

this is undermining the rule of law.  which, of course, is what the GOP has been doing for several years now.

Will the do nothing party actually do it?  


But the House GOP leader — who has felt compelled to stay neutral during the primary so as to not box in his own members — wasn’t ready to do that. To calm Trump, McCarthy made him a promise, according to a source close to Trump and familiar with the conversation: The House would vote to expunge the two impeachments against the former president. And — as McCarthy would communicate through aides later that same day — they would do so before August recess.

I enjoy watching McCarthy twisting in the wind to Trump's whims.  I actually enjoy watching all the Republicans twisting in the wind to that man.  They had their chance to be rid of him.  Hard to choose between what was right and the right wing MAGA mob, I guess.

I’m surprised McCarthy doesn’t have whiplash going from blaming Trump on the House floor the day after J6 to his current stance that Trump didn’t do anything wrong and should have his impeachments expunged.

Spineless sycophant trying to keep hold of his position.

Wonder if they do "expunge" them if the vote will even get a footnote in history books?

If Democracy wins, our great grand kids won’t read about the expunging it in their history books at all. 

If our great grand kids live in Trumplandia, under the reign of Donald Trump the Sixth, their history books won’t mention impeachment at all.
