That's Why They Call It The Stupid Party: Kevin McCarthy Says GOP Won’t Move to Impeach Biden or Administration Officials
PJ Media ^ | 10/21/2022 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 10/21/2022 9:21:48 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

In America today, we have a two-party system: the Stupid Party and the Evil Party. The Evil Party sets the agenda and pursues its aims relentlessly and ruthlessly; the Stupid Party registers a polite token opposition and then fully agrees to whatever the Evil Party wants, occasionally only arguing that it can implement the Evil Party’s program more effectively than the Evil Party itself. We saw this play out yet again Wednesday, when Stupid Party House Leader Kevin McCarthy (S-California) downplayed any talk of impeaching Old Joe Biden or any of his cronies if the Stupids retake the House in the midterm elections.

McCarthy is still playing by rules that the Evil Party discarded long ago, and that’s why he and his fellow Stupid Party members keep losing.

McCarthy declared that Americans don’t “like impeachment used for political purposes at all,” and added that “the country wants to heal” and see a “system that actually works.” That means there will be no impeachment proceedings against Biden, or Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary and former Disinformation Governance Board supreme overlord Alejandro Mayorkas, or Gestapo chief Merrick Garland. Leave billions of dollars worth of materiel in Afghanistan for our enemies to use against us? No problem! Open the Southern border so that untold numbers of criminals and terrorists can waltz right into the country? Hey, we all make mistakes. Sic the woke FBI against parents protesting at school board meetings against the far-Left agenda in public schools? We all can get carried away! Impeachment? Forget it. It wouldn’t be the decent thing to do.

When McCarthy was asked if he saw any grounds for impeaching any officials of this lawless and authoritarian administration, he answered: “I don’t see it before me right now.

Well, sure. There shouldn’t be any impeachment for political purposes. The two impeachments the Democrats perpetrated against Trump were travesties of justice; the framers of the Constitution never intended impeachment to be used as a weapon against a political opponent. But McCarthy’s assumption that any impeachment proceedings that the Republicans bring if they win back the House in November would be politically motivated in the same way is unfounded. What if Biden, or Mayorkas, or Garland actually violated the law? What if they abused their power in persecuting “MAGA Republicans,” purveyors of alleged “disinformation,” and Jan. 6 “insurrectionists”? Could we get any impeachments then?

I don’t want Biden impeached. He is such a total disaster that he needs to stay in office four years and think he has a chance at running for re-election.

If the Republicans take Congress and don’t use impeachment against the Democrats, that guarantees that the Democrats will use it against the next Republican President. McCarthy is an utter moron.

Impeaching the potato would be a complete waste of time and political capital. Unless you have 67 senators to convict, it’s a jerkoff.

McCarthy has no business anywhere near the Speaker of the House position. You listening, you publicans in the House?

Yet some on here say we’ll have to accept eating shit sandwiches because pragmatism and this type of leadership is the best we can get at the moment.

I agree, Biden being brain damaged is more valuable to Republicans than attempting an impossible impeachment, besides even if you were successful in impeaching Biden, Kamala Harris would take over and she would be far worse IMO.

Keep Biden and make his life as POTUS miserable.

And if McCarthy says the J6 committee will be shut down, then that will be it for me. He will have exposed himself as giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

The J6 committee should continue under republican leadership and expose all of the Lizard Cheney lies!

I really don’t understand this. Impeachment/removal is a process that requires the Senate to convict. Why on earth would you go through a process that you know 100% that would not lead to a conviction/removal? These admin rats could rape a person on live television and the soulless Democrat party would never convict the person. There is no point in impeaching in the current environment. The Democrats used the impeachments as a weapon and they failed to get a conviction. What would be the point of impeaching these lawless individuals unless you could complete the “speedy” trial in a week or so? I don’t see how you can put a label on a Republican that he is “stupid” because he doesn’t want to go through a useless process.

Yep and some here on FR castigate me every time I say I will no longer vote for a Republican. I will only vote for a MAGA American candidate. They have to run as ‘Republicans’ now, but someday................

What about DHS Secretary Mayorkas, who refuses to do his job and is bringing disaster upon this country? Or Merrick Garland, who is weaponizing his office against Parents and pro-life conservatives?

Those cannot be waste of time. They are necessary to save the country

Of course! I’m not one to go tit for tat. Impeachment of Joe is a waste of time. He was installed by Deep State. He knows it. Everyone does.
Kevin is milquetoast but it’s his turn! Terribly sad we can’t get a leg up. Seems we’re destined to help the left carry their agenda forward.

When McCarthy’s around you can just hear the dull static hum.

Without a 60 Seat Senate Majority willing to vote to convict, pursuing impeachment of Biden amounts to political masturbation. (It feels good but produces nothing)

"Weak" is wasting energy on non-value added tasks.

"Strength" is applying energy to the most effective and efficient means to achieve the critical objective.

I am not sure that the Republic can take two more years of Biden. We might not have anything left because he does everything by ‘fiat’ decree and tries to wait out the courts until another Democrat is in office.

They should impeach some of his cabinet apparatchiks but not waste political capital going after on idiot Brandon.
