Agree with that. This is just a another trick to get off message.

That being said, dont have a problem with impeaching at all. Start with some officials. But still have to work at fixing this stuff first.

Shoots holes all in your plans.
+++++
I’m game. Explain it to me. I never saw a connection between a Presidential Veto and a Senate Vote in an Impeachment.

As to my plans. I think bills can die in either House or Senate and so Congress does have financial control. Are there things a GOP House would pass that would be vetoed? Of course. You need to wheel and deal. That’s just politics.

Will they? Who knows? You may be right.

Knowing Republican’s timidity, in the long run The GOP will lose every time.

Overriding a presidential veto requires a two-thirds majority in both the House and the Senate, as specified in Article 1, Section 7.

Biden said today, he’ll Veto everything the GOP tries to do.

‘The Young Guns’: Ten Years Later

“By self-acclamation, Cantor was “the leader,” Ryan was “the thinker” and McCarthy was “the strategist.” McCarthy was quietly derided as the weak link...”

My point, the things you said to focus on have the same hurdle as Impeachment.

> the whole exercise by either side is just Congressional PR

I used to agree with that, but I am beginning to wonder if its time to impeach any Democrat for anything until the act has become utterly meaningless and trivial, in order to prevent the left from using it as a tool in 25.

Your payback strategy is based on the Payback is a Bitch Principle. I take it you think that would convince the Dems to “never do that again”.

You might be right. But I don’t think so. I would expect future GOP Presidents to be impeached by any future Dem controlled House as matter of course. They would be more motivated to do so than even the first time with Trump.

The people will tire of it. It will affect their vote. It maybe already has.

Not to dismiss the Joe Biden and Son Inc. crime family as a suitable target for impeachment. You could justify it but it would be a total waste of time.

Precisely.

If they fought in the first Impeachment, there would’ve been no second Impeachment and no Special Committee.

Notice, Republicans have been pretty much hands off with declarations from that Committee.

1. The Republicans are not going to be cutting any taxes or regulations without the President.

2. They might be able to deal with the 87k IRS agents, but the Democrats will hold up any bill, shut down the government and the media will hold the Republicans accountable for it and they’ll cave.

3. If nothing else, an impeachment of Mayorkas will expose everything he’s done, for all the world to see. Will he be convicted in the Senate? No. But it just might be enough to have the admin tell him to resign. Maybe.

Impeachment is a waste of time. Spend that time on election fraud investigations, start legislation to repeal the 17th amendment, and pass legislation to limit Presidential Executive Orders to a maximum of one year.

And build the wall. And get the current immigration laws enforced.

Biden Vetoes

Then 66% of the House and Senate is required to overcome a Presidential Veto.

McCarthy is playing a game which throws the Dems off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind his actions. If they have no clue of what he is up to, they cannot prepare a defense.

Vetos what?

Constitutional amendments proposed by Congress do not require a Presidential signature. They go straight to the states for ratification.

My advice. Go scorched earth. there’s nothing left to lose.

Leftists are totalitarian bullies. The only way to stop a bully from harassing you and others is to punch them in the face. Hard.

Unfortunately, our leaders are McConnell and McCarthy. They’re too busy attacking Trump and conservatives.

Biden said today, he’ll Veto everything the GOP tries to do.

Then the GOP must do what the Democrats do... load up "must pass" spending bills with their "please the base" laws and dare Biden to veto it and cause a government shutdown.

President Trump was forced to sign a Democrat bill that contained huge spending increases because it was tied to necessary military spending.

See “There are some things we should have in the bill. But I say to Congress, I will never sign another bill like this again,” Trump remarked.

Trump signed it, and now the Democrats are campaigning saying that President Trump spent more money than any other President, even though they forced him into it.

McCarthy doesn’t want to scare away votes by sounding radical. Too thin rooster. He has to go. I want revenge.

McCarthy: You can commit treason, sell out your country, try to start a nuclear war, destroy the economy by blocking oil and gas pipelines and exploration and take bribes from everyone plus be a pedophile and we will not impeach Biden....
