It was never a perfect Union, but there were times our great nation seemed to try to promote Justice and the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.
You’ll notice Trump never claims he did not do any of the things he is charged with.
His Disciples never claim that either.
.
Only that he is being treated unfairly, SO unfairly. And the black prosecutors are racist. And Jack Smith is deranged or something. And what about Hunter? And Hillary’s emails.
The legislative and Congressional branches don’t seem to be firing on all cylinders any more. If Traitor45 were to regain office, it would be all over.
Freshman Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) has introduced articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden. ✁
Unfortunately for Steube, there’s “not a whiff of evidence” against the president, as Washington Post analyst Philip Bump put it.
Trump-supportive Republicans in the House have admitted as much.
On Aug. 9, Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-N.Y.) stated, “Well, we’ve never claimed that we have direct money going to the president, but many members of his family have received money from foreign governments.”
Similarly, on August 11, House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) came up empty on CNN. Host Jake Tapper told Comer, “I don’t see any evidence of any crime…It seems like you’re trying just to go after President Biden.”
Comer responded evasively by saying, in effect, that he might eventually come up with the evidence. He’s already run innumerable committee hearings to dig some up some dirt, but all his shovel comes up with is innuendo.
Comer and his right-wing allies are on fire, trying to signal smoke.
It’s obvious why.
They’re desperate to use mere allegations to counter real evidence against former President Donald Trump, who faces three — likely soon four — indictments.
But here’s what may not be as obvious — a collateral Trumpist benefit beyond the immediate partisan rubbing of sticks together to produce smoke.
Republicans want to drain impeachment of meaning as a future tool of presidential accountability. The covert goal is to feed citizens’ cynicism about impeachment.
The hope is that voters will discount any future impeachment of Trump, should he be reelected with a Democratic-majority House that tries to stop his inevitable attempts to dismantle the Constitution.
It was only eight months ago that Trump called for “the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”

The less obvious reason House Republicans want to impeach Biden
Hey, Scott, why are you surprised. The Republicans impeached Clinton for lying about cheating on his wife. But they think consorting with foreign countries to fix an election and conspiring to overturn the Constitution aren’t impeachable offenses.
Of course, Donnie lied about cheating on his wife, too.
The Republic is strong. It’s the PEOPLE of the Republic that worry me. Poorly educated, easily distracted, difficult to make them take positive action.
They proudly take the Pledge of Allegiance, and say things like “and to the Republic, for which it stands” not knowing, not understanding what it means. Just mouthing the words, blah blah blah.

How about if we just continue to impeach the guilty ones and not the ones falsely accused without evidence?
