Right-wing lawmakers are proving increasingly willing to force potentially divisive votes.

      He has a D next to his name, which in itself is an impeachable offense to half the House.

      It’s being led by Lauren Boebert which is really all you need to know about it, but the reason given:

      The resolution charges Biden with abuse of power and dereliction of duty over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border.

        Every year I think that the shenanigans R’s pull will make them suffer in the next election. Still, with gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the “if they go low, we stay high” attitude we have, the election ends up becoming a coin toss.

      What for?

      To turn it into a thing that just happens every time, so that Trump’s two impeachments lose meaning while also getting some form of “revenge.”

      For the “crime” of not being a far right Republican and for the “crime” of Trump having been impeached twice. Those are the only “crimes” that these extremists care about. They also don’t care that, even if they convince 50%+1 Representatives to vote to impeach, this will die in the Senate. They’ll impeach Biden three times just so Trump isn’t the most impeached President and they’ll claim that their purely political impeachments somehow prove that the impeachments of Trump were purely political as well

        Notably, Biden was not involved in either impeachment. Just as he’s not involved in the current investigations (remember those special councils)? With the exception of the ones Garland is running, he has no influence… and garland is treating trump with ultimate kiddie gloves so far.
