They can't govern. |
President Joe Biden is down in the polls. He is taking hits for his stance on Israel, the economy, his policies and his ability to govern. Yet, he has a better chance of being reelected thanks to the Republican Party and its obsession with conspiracy theories and their failure to govern.
The House of Representatives is a hot mess. They spent a majority of this year trying to destroy Biden and themselves. Ousting Kevin McCarthy and replacing him with Mike Johnson, U.S. Representative from Louisiana and current U.S. House Speaker was a huge mistake. He and McCarthy will be unremarkable in accomplishments.
And yet, the Republicans and conservative agitators were vilifying an effective House Speaker like Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Pelosi did more as a Speaker than her six Republican members.
Newt Gingrich, Dennis Hastert, John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy and Mike Johnson are disgraceful. They will never accomplish anything memorable.
The House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to formally authorize its ongoing impeachment inquiry into Biden, as Republicans unite behind the effort even though they have yet to find evidence of wrongdoing by the Democrat.
The Republican-controlled chamber voted 221-212 along party lines to approve the probe, which is examining whether Biden improperly benefited from his 53-year-old son Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings, hours after the younger Biden refused a call to testify behind closed doors.
The White House has dismissed the inquiry as unsubstantiated by facts and politically motivated. Biden is preparing for a possible 2024 election rematch with his Republican predecessor, Donald Trump. Trump is the first president in U.S. history to be impeached twice and is currently preparing for four upcoming criminal trials.
The effort will almost certainly fail to remove Biden from office. Even if the House votes to impeach the president, the Senate would then have to vote to convict him on the charges by a two-thirds vote — a near-impossibility in a chamber where Biden's fellow Democrats hold a 51-49 majority.
But it could help Republicans highlight their allegations of corruption through much of the 2024 campaign.
Biden has enough problems. |
The vote comes three months after Republicans informally began the probe and is not a required step to remove a president or other official from office.
However, authorization could give Republicans more legal authority to force Biden's administration to cooperate and could help to counter accusations from Democrats who say it lacks legitimacy.
House Republicans allege that Biden and his family profited from his actions when he served as President Barack Obama's vice president from 2009 to 2017 and they have zeroed in on his son's business ventures in Ukraine and China during that period.
The evidence presented shows that [former vice president] Biden has gotten two checks from Sara and James Biden in 2018. Trump was president from 2017 until 2021. Biden and Dr. Jill Biden, First Lady of the United States released their taxes during the 2020 presidential race.
The Republicans showed inappropriate images of Hunter Biden during committee hearings. They have no interest in investigating Jared and Ivanka Kushner. Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are family of Donald J. Trump. They are former government officials and have earned a reasonable amount within their service.
Hunter Biden is a private citizen who had nothing to do with his father's activities.
Miranda Devine, Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon, Sara A. Carter, John Paul Mac Isaac, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Viktor Shokin, Andrii Derkach, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, Ronna McDaniel and John Solomon are the reasons for the Republican Party's conspiracy theories about Biden.
Hunter Biden, who has described his struggles with drug and alcohol addiction, has also been the subject of a years-long criminal investigation.
He faces federal charges that he lied about his drug use while buying a handgun and separate charges of failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes. He has pleaded not guilty to the gun charges, and his lawyer says he has repaid his taxes in full.
"In the depths of my addiction, I was extremely irresponsible with my finances. But to suggest that is grounds for an impeachment inquiry is beyond the absurd. It's shameless," he said.
