Trump gets his revenge on impeachment

The 2022 midterms aren’t getting any easier for the group of House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Trump last year.

Of the 10 GOP members who broke party lines to vote for Trump’s impeachment in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, most won’t be heading back to Washington next year.

Four – Reps. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), John Katko (N.Y.), Anthony Gonzalez (Ohio) and Fred Upton (Mich.) – opted not to seek reelection. June saw Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.) lose renomination to South Carolina state Rep. Russell Fry, who carried Trump’s endorsement.

And just last week, Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.), a first-term congressman who had barely taken his oath of office before casting his impeachment vote, was ousted by John Gibbs, a former Trump administration official who campaigned on his support for the former president.

Another one bites the dust: Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) became the latest House Republican who voted to impeach Trump to lose a primary on Tuesday when she conceded to her Trump-backed rival Joe Kent a week after Washington State voters cast their ballots.

So far, only two pro-impeachment House Republicans have survived their primaries: Reps. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) and David Valadao (R-Calif.), though the latter still faces stiff competition in the November general election.

Not over yet: The track record for those Republicans who bucked their own party line in the impeachment vote isn’t good, and it appears likely to get worse next week, when Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) will go before voters in Wyoming.

Tom Kennedy is a republican out of the west. Are any of Joe Kennedy demonic spawn remain in their anointed democrat party offices nationally?

Oh she’ll live on as the token “conservative” pundit on cable news for decades but her time as an elected official in Washington is over

Don’t gets your hopes up that the GOPee will impeach anyone. They don’t have the guts for impeachment.

Think so, but there were a lot of opportunists who took advantage of that...hard to say what she really thinks.

Like I said, she comes off as a chameleon...

20 Rinos voted for the Manchin Biden 87 thousand
new IRS agents, and 300 million dollars pork.

This will not reduce the inflation or deficits.

These 20 are the usual suspects. Some like
Ernst were tea party but are now traitors to
TEA taxed enough already party.

Let us publish their names as a work list
for future targets for beating at the polls.

With Kent beating JHB, the huge contractors can forget about replacing the I-5 bridge to Portland, and the light rail line they wanted to go with it. JHB never supported additional Columbia River crossings in the greater Portland-Vancouver metro area.

Not over yet: The track record for those Republicans who bucked their own party line in the impeachment vote isn’t good, and it appears likely to get worse next week, when Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) will go before an electoral firing squad voters in Wyoming. There, I fixed it.

When Lizard goes belly up we will finally be rid of The Clintons, The Bushs and the Cheneys - a great start for OUR great reset.

Just for doing this, Donald Trump deserves our everlasting gratitude.
