I don't really follow what you're saying here. The only view that I see on this board was this type of shit was completely predictable. Once the door of sham impeachments opens up, everyone is going to get in line and want to take a bite. I don't think anyone is saying that this is a good thing.

Knowing what you know of the political landscape over the last 10 or so years, why should we expect better from our political leaders? Just look at the people in Washington right now...just an awful awful group.

At least with Trump there was some evidence. Phone call to pressure another country and a insurrection at the Capitol.

Many Republicans are admitting there is no evidence to open the inquiry. In fact, the apparent purpose of the inquiry is to find evidence with which to impeach. Weak sauce.

Completely agree with your last paragraph. I hope everyday that something will change.

In regards to your first paragraph, my statement was in response to mor’s post that had a sophomoric response to what is happening or even a toddler response of nah nah nah nah nah boo boo. Imo this “revenge” stuff is absolutely ridiculous. MOR seems to take great pride in it.

This is the kind of nonsense and waste of time im talking about. You and MOR should start your own political board with your crap of which political human excrement is worse. “Some evidence” who cares. They are both a waste of dollars and time.

I care.
Actively working to thwart the peaceful transfer of power, which we had for 250 years before 2020, is in my mind a high crime, worthy of impeachment, and disqualification from holding office.

McCarthy admitted he had no evidence last month. Today one of his own was calling for his removal:

Gaetz: Mr. Speaker, you are out of compliance with the agreement that allowed you to assume this role. The path forward for the House of Representatives is to either bring you into immediate total compliance or remove you,

At least Pelosi knew how to manage her caucus, get shit done, and keep the government running. Clowns like Gaetz, and Green, and Comer haven't a clue.

Yeah, Pelosi sure puts unity and the country over Party. She led two impeachments that failed to get a conviction in the Senate and because of it the Country gets to go through another one. Great stuff from Miss Oil Lube.

While we’re at it. No, madam VP, J6 is not anything like 9/11 or 12/7. What a clown statement yesterday.

McCarthy said of the multiple sham Benghazi hearings, that they had hurt Hillary in the polls. They did.

I suspect he's trying the same thing again.

He’s dealing with the loons who invaded his office yesterday. Hope they get 22 years.

Edit: I really don’t hope they get jail time however the statement is illustrative.
