Republicans reject motion to impeach Joe Biden
Democrat Jared Moskowitz tried to put a motion on the table for a vote in an effort to call the GOP's bluff in the Biden probe.
House Republicans James Comer and Jim Jordan, who are leading an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, refused to second a motion made by Representative Jared Moskowitz, a Florida Democrat, to impeach the president.
Moskowitz tried to put the motion on the table for a vote on Wednesday in an effort to call GOP lawmakers' bluff in what he called a "fake" probe.
I have no doubts they are going to drag this out until much closer to the election so they can impeach him at some critical moment to get media headlines to sway people into thinking Biden is just as bad as trump.
93Why wait? Haven't they been impeaching this guy for like a year at this point?
I tend to believe that if they could they would have done it already just to be petty.
51I absolutely believe if they could have made the smallest thing stick they would. They probably would do it a second time before the election if the first one fell through. "LOOK AT BIDEN! HE HAS TWO IMPEACHMENTS AS WELL AND JUST AS MANY SENATE CONVICTIONS AS TRUMP"

If they didn't have the votes before, they definitely won't have them before the election.
12The point isn't to actually impeach him, it's to make a big media circus that frightens and confuses voters. They want the biggest news story in the days leading up to the election to be "Biden lookin sus" as opposed to Trump's criminal history or the state of the economy, because that's their best shot at pulling votes away from him.

Oh sure, next thing you'll be telling me they knew all along this was a bullshit trial that wasn't going to go anywhere and they spent millions and shouted and made ugly faces to get elected on it for no reason.
As if!
36Bunch of traitor assclowns.
28Traitorous assclowns who represent 40-50% of the population, unfortunately.
4Gerrymandering and throwing non-white people off the rolls works!
Yeah! Here's to republiQans cheating forever.
6Trump never had the votes of more than 21% of the population.
He's not anywhere near as popular as his supporters and the horserace-obsessed establishment media keep pretending.

Does anyone know what happened to all the Qanon people? I don't think I've heard much from that group in a while. Did they finally figure out they were getting played after all these years?
27They all conveniently sequestered themselves to truth social. They're still out there, they just don't share a forum with regular people anymore
23A roommate of a friend was a Qooq. Tried to get me kicked off Facebook because he didn't like my politics. Fortunately that went nowhere, but I blocked his sorry ass when I got wind of it.
Fast forward to after the Election, and my friend let me know the roommate had seen the light. He still thinks democrats are a problem but according to said friend, he's sitting out elections now because he realised he got lied to. Occasionally, people do change and they realise they were taken for a ride. BUT that just means that the remaining Qooqs have a higher ratio of True Believers and Shit Stirrers, which makes them harder to deal with.
18Glad there's still hope for some of them at least. I used to see "in two more weeks everyone will see X and Y on TV and the truth will be revealed" and then a month later something similar at a later date... I'd think "how many times can they do this until people give up?"

US politics is a political soap opera clown show that has a game show component that puts the global audience at risk of all sorts of dangers and even death.
The US doesn't have politics, it's just a theatrical front for the rich and powerful who actually run the country.
The audience laughs at it with fear because they know it's all fake but can't do anything about it.
The players laugh at it because they know it's fake and they get paid enormous amounts of money to perform
The owners laugh at it because they know it's fake and there's nothing anyone can or is allowed to do anything about it
24You're just adding more hyperbolic outrage fuel to the fire. None of this is true because things do change. Apathy is just as bad as ignorance. Repeal Citizens United. Champion ranked choice voting at your local level so we can kick out the extremists that are dead-locking policy.
People who let themselves believe the whole game is rigged are just making an excuse to not have to do the very hard work of maintenance. People who espouse that the game is rigged, and then convince others that all effort is futile are just as bad as Fox News. Man up you bitchy cunts. Get the fuck out there and vote.
12I would say if it was all fully meaningless they wouldn't try so hard to disenfranchise people.
11In Iran's presidential elections, the public is offered a slate of candidates who have been screened and approved by the unelected Guardian Council, which is comprised of religious and legal scholars.
In America's presidential elections, the public is offered a slate of candidates who have been screened and approved by the unelected wealthy elites, which is comprised of the people who steal ~90% of the nation's wealth.
I agree with you. It's mostly just theater. Biden is the clear choice over Trump, but the American people will never get the president they want and need under the current system, which is a president who will stand up to the wealthy elites for the people, like FDR, TR, and JFK.
6Well you tried and you failed miserably.
The important thing is: Never try.

Republicans told me Biden is CORRUPT and NEEDS to be IMPEACHED so I FULLY SUPPORT them NOT Impeaching him because I think for myself!
22They have no high crimes or misdemeanors. They have theater. A bad movie that never ends.
16What an embarrassment. It must be so embarrassing to be a US republican senator/house member.
8They are incapable of embarrassment.
The reason you're being some of these old guard Rs retiring, even far right ones like that rep from Colorado, is that they actually can feel something resembling shame. Guys like Jordan and Comer can't.
11Sure, but what does that have to do with this article about House Republicans?

I want to know what Perjury Traitor Greed thinks about this, her key platform for her recent election. Why I'll bet she's hopping mad.
Hahah, nah, srs j/k. Please don't mention her.
5And the Republican Kabuki dance continues.
