“That’ll be a decision that will be made by the entire conference,” Jordan said of an impeachment push.
***********
In other words there won’t be an impeachment.
Four months out from a crucial election and the Republicans still have no idea what they’re going to do. Pathetic.
A year from now we’ll all be disappointed with them. Some things never change.
Interesting. If you don’t do your job you’re fired. If the. boss doesn’t do his it’s your problem. That’s not the way it’s supposed to work in government. Private industry perhaps where the bottom line is all that matters.

What they don't realize is, they're unwittingly setting the table for Trump. The angrier we get, the better it is for Trump.
“Four months out from a crucial election and the Republicans still have no idea what they’re going to do. Pathetic.”
When you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there. Mitch McConnell rejected a new “Contract for America” campaign, preferring the typical RINO “we are not as bad as the Democrats” campaign with no promises to the voters and plenty of back door contracts with the donor base. He and the other GOP power brokers want to go back to the pre-Trump campaign and rule practices.
GOP voters are completely disgusted with Democrat rule and the weakness of the Republican Party. The conventional wisdom is they will turn out in numbers to vote Republican (as usual) in protest, without any promises from GOP politicians. They may be fooled if a sizable percentage of the voter base is turned off and simply decided voting for the lesser of two evils is evil so conservatives stay home.
Meanwhile, the Democrats are highly dissatisfied with the Biden administration and certainly middle class and working class Democrats are feeling economic pain. Will they turn out in mass to support Democrat candidates?
The wild card seems to be the January 6 commission. Will it refer charges against Trump to Merrick Garland and will the DOJ indict Trump a month before the election. If so, will the GOP in unison condemn the move or will Lindsay Graham, McConnell, McCarthy, Romney, and others equivocate or stay silent as they have with the January protesters denied rights of due process? If Trump is arrested, and the GOP leadership doesn’t express unified outrage, the conservative voter base may just stay home and hand the Democrats an undeserved supermajority in Congress.
With a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, and a majority in the House, court packing, impeachment of conservative Supreme Court members, and even a suspension of the Constitution under a presidential emergency order, are possible. Articles are popping up in publications and in televised new stories claiming the Constitution is inherently racist and obsolete. Communist dictatorships almost always begin with suspension of the old Constitution under emergency decree and its replacement with a progressive modern constitution giving absolute power to the tyrants who have seized power.
Of course they know what they’re going to do. They’ll continue to collaborate with the other half of the Uniparty.
I like Jordan. I suspect most of us like Jordan. He is going to have the most important and potentially powerful chairmanship in congress come January.
I fully expect to be very disappointed because he will NOT buck McCarthy.
Jordan is not MTG and it pains me to say it but most of us will probably view him much as we now view Trey Gowdy. A great wordsmith who could make us cheer in a hearing but when it comes to action - all hat and no cattle.
McCarthy is a coward and there are a whole lot of things not going to get done even if they do win. “Squandering opportunities” should be the GOP’s motto.
