Could Joe Biden Get Impeached?

 

Could Joe Biden Get Impeached? - 19FortyFive

"Could Joe Biden Get Impeached? Impeachment is a very political process as the two impeachments against former President Donald Trump proved. However, Republicans lack the same degree of political unity and bloodlust toward President Joe Biden that the Democrats have shown regarding Trump. Democrats started theorizing about how to impeach Trump in April 2016 even before he was the Republican nominee for president.

Republicans have been shy about impeachment since their politically disastrous impeachment of Bill Clinton in 1998 cost them in the midterms that year. Impeachment requires a 2/3 vote of the Senate to convict. A majority of senators voted to convict Trump during the second impeachment trial; however, they fell 10 short of the 67 votes needed to remove or in that case block the former president from holding office again.

“I don’t think you want to get into where it’s a tit for tat, every two years or four years you’re dealing with impeachment proceedings in the House and Senate,” Senate Republican Whip John Thune told The Hill in January about the idea that Republicans should impeach the president over his mishandling of classified documents. “There has to be a really good reason, obviously, the constitutional reasons and grounds for that. So we’ll see where it goes.”

"Indiana Republican Sen. Mike Braun similarly put cold water on the idea of impeachment.

“ 'I think the country will fatigue of that,” he told The Hill, noting that impeachment proceedings against former Presidents Clinton and Trump “have not ended up with any real result.”

"Braun continued: “If you start doing it on everything, I think it would be bad politically and for the mechanics of government working.”. . .

Rep. Cory Mills Presents Articles of Impeachment Against Disgraced DOD Secretary Lloyd Austin

 "I Perceive This as Dereliction of Duty and I Take that Very Seriously" - Rep. Cory Mills Presents Articles of Impeachment Against Disgraced DOD Secretary Lloyd Austin (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit

Disgraced Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin testified before the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday in support of Joe Biden’s defense budget request.

Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) had a more pressing issue on his mind, however. He was seeking to hold the Biden regime accountable for the botched withdrawal in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan is perhaps the most sordid part of Biden’s destructive legacy. As the Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft reported, a US Marine sniper was denied permission to shoot and kill the Kabul airport suicide bomber Who killed the 13 American service members during the botched withdrawal.

"Not only does the Biden regime have the blood of these soldiers on their hands, but thousands of interpreters, their families, and the families of US soldiers as well are dead as well because of the Regime’s choices during the withdrawal.

"One example was reported The Gateway Pundit in August. The brother of a US Marine killed in the Kabul bombing due to Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal committed suicide at the memorial for the fallen soldier.

"Mills completely destroyed Lloyd Austin. He told the defense secretary that he viewed his conduct during the failed Afghanistan operation as dereliction of duty and that Austin lacked the honor to resign.

"He next called out Austin for leaving Americans and their Afghan friends to die. Mills also revealed the massive increase in suicide rates of American soldiers as a result of the botched withdrawal.

"Mills then showed Austin that he had drafted the articles of impeachment against him.

Turley: Trump Indictment 'Legally Pathetic'

 Our elections are not at all secure or fair.  The Biden administration is bogus, achieved by massive fraud.  And now they have indicted the former and potentially future President in yet another ruse to take him down and out. Patricia McCarthy

George Soros-funded DAs, AGs and secretaries of state were not chosen for their intellectual firepower but for their loyalty - American Thinker   . . ."Bragg, elected in 2021, has been a disaster for Manhattan.  He refuses to seek bail or sentences for violent criminals – armed robbery, drug dealing, violent attacks on innocent civilians and burglary.  Nine of the prosecutors  in the Manhattan office quit when he announced his pro-criminal agenda.  He was installed for one reason, one reason only, to facilitate crime and to take down Donald Trump.  I hope that, along with all the other Soros-installed DAs, he will go down in flames when his pro-criminal, anti-Americanism becomes clear.  How did he even pass the bar?  Has he even read the Constitution?  

"Chesa Boudin, former DA in San Francisco, has been recalled; by San Franciscans!  Los Angeles DA George Gascon was effectively recalled but the left’s expertise at cheating has kept him in office. Under Gascon, homicide rates have soared as has shoplifting by mobs of looters who are never arrested.". . . 

Democrats Just Handed Donald Trump the GOP Nomination – RedState  . . . For starters, even Mr. Magoo can see that this is nothing more than a politically-motivated effort to use the government to attack an opponent. It is abundantly clear that Democrats are trying to ensure that their candidate will not have to face Trump in the 2024 presidential election. There is no way to argue that this is an honest attempt to pursue justice; the fact that they are using legal wrangling to upgrade the charges is proof of this reality.". . .

This is vendetta politics, using the legal system as a way to take out a political opponent, and it's going to backfire. This will end with egg on Bragg's face and progressives sputtering with rage that they have once again failed to convict the Extremely Evil and Bad and Evil Orange Man. 

'This is the first time an ex-president has been charged with a crime after leaving office. It is unprecedented, legally weak, and a sign that the left cares more about using the legal system to harass and arrest political opponents than it does about actual justice. This is exactly the type of weaponization of the legal system that conservatives have been warning about, and we're seeing it come to pass right now.

'Trans Day of Vengeance' in DC is CANCELED due to a 'credible threat to life and safety' in the wake of Nashville school massacre

 'Trans Day of Vengeance' is CANCELED due to a 'credible threat to life and safety' | Daily Mail Online

It's OK, kids. The library drag show is back on!

A transgender activist group has called off its planned 'Trans Day of Vengeance Rally' after warnings of a 'credible threat to life and safety'.

The rally was due to be held on Saturday in Washington D.C., but organizers of the Trans Radical Activist Network (TRAN) said Thursday that threats on social media have led them to make the decision to cancel the event.

The demonstration would have been held outside the Supreme Court but 'astronomical amounts of hate from the world' forced them to cancel, TRAN said.

The event comes days after transgender Nashville shooter Audrey Hale killed six people - including three children - at her former Christian school. The event was planned weeks before the shooting, and the group said it had nothing to do with the 'heinous act'.

The event initially caused outrage on social media, as Twitter removed thousands of tweets promoting and criticizing the event as they said ''vengeance' does not imply peaceful protest'. . .

The martyrdom of Donald J. Trump: Trump Issues Statement After Being Indicted

  "Former President Donald Trump responded after news broke out on Thursday of a Manhattan jury voting to indict him in relations to the Stormy Daniels case.

" 'From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats – the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country – have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement,” Trump said.

“ 'You remember it just like I do: Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this.”

“ 'The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable – indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference,” he continued.

“ 'Never before in our Nation’s history has this been done. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a President of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for President, has never happened before.

"Next was the January 6 "insurrection" probe, which like Mueller’s team, consisted of those who presumed or wanted Trump to be guilty.

"During the committee's televised show trial, only anti-Trump witnesses who grounded their testimony on baseless hearsay were invited, while Trump’s attorneys weren't allowed to cross-question these adversarial witnesses.

New York Young Republican Club Issues Statement Responding to Trump Indictment — 'This is Total War' | The Gateway Pundit

“ 'Today, our nation careens toward tyranny at an unprecedented pace,” the statement began. “An impudent cabal of radical figures abandons all propriety in their dogged attacks on President Donald J. Trump. We have taken a decisive step away from the values that define our national character.”

“ 'Every utterance that has escaped these monsters’ lips since President Trump first came down the escalator has built toward this moment; each falsehood, each misdirection, each deliberate misportrayal found its culmination in Alvin Bragg’s desperate action today,” the club’s statement said. “Radical leftist interests, beholden to an elite, internationalist cabal have taken the unprecedented step of indicting President Donald J. Trump, the leading candidate for the 2024 presidential election.”

"The statement continued, “Every American feels today the solid grasp of the Fifth Column on his throat; henceforth, we must openly acknowledge what so many have long known: that control of our nation’s fate has long been prised from our grasp. Let anyone who celebrates this downfall of our republic be forever branded a traitor to our nation. No one who mocks the people’s will can claim the title of an American.' ”. . .

Obama Blames Trump For China’s Rise

 The Daily Wire

Even as he worked to strike a deal, Trump waged a trade war against China during his four years in office, which included steep tariffs on imports in what he said was an effort to reverse a deficit that disadvantaged the United States.

. . ."The Democrat said China began to change “once I left office” in 2017 when Trump entered the White House following his victory over Obama’s preferred candidate Hillary Clinton.

“ 'With my successor coming in, I think he saw an opportunity because the U.S. president didn’t seem to care that much about a rules-based international system,” Obama said of Xi.

“ 'And so as a consequence, I think China’s attitude as well, we can take advantage of what appears to be a vacuum internationally on a lot of these issues,” Obama said.". . .

Obama, being a media darling, feels free to make any claim that comes to mind, knowing it will be praised by virtually all media, especially MSNBC, CNN, and Hollywood. TD

Post-Trump, Biden unleashes hell

  Don Surber: Post-Trump, Biden unleashes hell

Inflation, losing a war we had won, and losing a border we had secured are psy ops that is meant to depress Americans. People who believe they are hopeless cannot rally and rail against their evil leaders.

"President Trump’s departure from the White House brought back the Dark Ages of the deep state’s ownership of the federal government. The new regime seeks to punish his supporters as well as destroy him.

"The destruction of East Palestine, Ohio, epitomized the cruel nature of the vengeance of our government on those who dared want to make America great again. The village is poor and white (98%) and voted overwhelmingly for Trump. The EPA used a train wreck as an opportunity to inflict pain. The administration never acknowledged the heartbreak. Biden visited Ukraine, not Ohio.

"The person who oversees trains for the federal government is the first openly gay mayor of a college town in the Midwest whose goals are to make paternity leave months long so he and his chubby hubby can bond with the children they adopted because we stupidly allow gay adoption.

"He also Buttigieg-ed up transport ships by screwing up the unloading of cargo from Red China. Biden hired him because he is gay and not because he shows any competence or knowledge of transportation. Biden’s attitude is that is what Civil Service-protected managers are for.

"The campaign to make America pay for daring to elect Trump began with the Reichstag Fire the FBI and Capitol Police lit on January 6, 2021. The president rallied hundreds of thousands of people at the National Mall. FBI instigators lured them to the Capitol where the Capitol Police let them in — trapping them in an imitation insurrection.". . .

 "Fox News’ Jesse Watters is roasting President Joe Biden’s efforts to relate to the crowds he is speaking to.

"“Joe Biden’s always been known for being a vivid storyteller,” Watters began Wednesday night.

He played a series of videos of the president speaking at various events and sharing how he said various groups of people impacted his upbringing.

On Oct. 3, 2022, Biden said, “I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community.”

And in 2020, he declared, “I got my education for real in the Black church –  and that’s not hyperbole, that’s a fact.”

Biden said in September during a ceremony celebrating Rosh Hashanah, “I probably went to shul more than many of you did.”

The president also claimed in October 2021 that he used to drive a tractor-trailer and was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania

After his time as vice president, Biden was given the title of Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. However, fact-checkers have failed to find evidence he taught classes.

Until eternity, these six souls will join the millions of others “slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held,” who cry to God “with a loud voice, saying, ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?'”

"If you weren’t aware that the West’s culture war is also a spiritual battle, let the martyrdom of Christ’s six precious saints in Nashville, Tennessee this week open your eyes. We “wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

"It should be no surprise that worshippers of demons rage against those bought and sealed with Christ’s holy blood, and identify Christians as their worst enemy. They hate us because of Christ. Our Savior, whose torture and triumph we honor next week with Holy Week and Easter, told us to expect their violent, unceasing hatred.

Realigning California Would Realign America

 American Greatness  "The conventional wisdom on the Right in most of the rest of America is that California is a lost cause. Rather than fight inside California, where you are up against the most powerful and monolithic alliance of progressive special interests in the world, dedicate resources to flipping purple states, and keeping red states red. But to invert a popular quote attributed to Nietzsche, even if you do not gaze into the abyss, the abyss will still gaze back into you.

"California’s role in influencing the future of the country is unparalleled. In addition to its economic and demographic weight, California remains the epicenter of America’s media and entertainment industry, as well as its high-tech industry. Even if several American states defy the momentum of California’s political class, laws governing California frequently end up becoming federal policy. The abyss is coming for us all, and its epicenter is in California.

"It’s expensive to engage in public education in a state with a population of nearly 40 million, including 22 million registered voters. California’s political culture is almost completely dominated by social radicals and environmentalist extremists. But if the challenges to changing the political culture in California are daunting, the potential rewards are even greater.

"There is an immediate financial incentive for the Right to take the fight into the belly of the beast, which is that whatever money California’s well-heeled public sector unions and progressive billionaires have to spend on defense in their own state is money that will not be used to swing close races in other states. The question then only becomes how to engage in asymmetric warfare to ensure that California’s progressives spend far more money on defense than their attackers spend on offense. In this manner, even if the political battle is lost, the money is well spent.\

"An example of this strategy is Proposition 32, waged in 2012 by reformers attempting to force government unions to obtain consent from their members before they could spend any of their dues on political campaigning. A lot was at stake for these public sector unions, which in California spend an estimated $600 million on political campaigning and lobbying each two-year election cycle. That’s a lot of money, even in California. Voters rejected Proposition 32, but proponents spent $10 million, whereas the union defenders spent over $108 million. That’s $98 million that did not flow into the other U.S. elections in the 2012 cycle.". . .
