House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's recent comments about opening an impeachment inquiry into President Biden were greeted with skepticism from Senate Republicans, including one who warned against following the lead of Democrats who "cheapened" the process under former President Trump.
"You'd have to have the argument," Senate Minority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters Tuesday. "It's a high threshold. I'd assume they'd have to have evidence and some process where they would at least get that evidence if they don't have it."
"Clearly the statements they're making would lead me to believe they have evidence. Or they think they have evidence that could reach that threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors," Thune added. "I'll say what I said before, and that is I think the best way to change the presidency is win the election… I think it's in our best interest to be making an argument for why we need to have the majority in the House, the Senate and the White House come Jan. 2025."

I have it as 3 parties:
1. The Criminal Party (Democrat)
2. The Accomplice Party (RINO)
3. The Patriot Party.
I’ll add—or uncover those willing to look the other way, because while not involved in this matter, have their fingers in other cookie jars they are afraid would be exposed.
Simply put—”I’ll overlook your corruption if you over look mine”
———
Well stated and the real reason they sit on the sidelines
Dems will do stuff to affect perceptions. Facts be damned.
As long as their narrative is preserved hell with facts and decency
The Patriot Party = MAGA Trump ‘24.
Let me get this straight.
1. Trump is impeached, two counts (?) and he fights it out, because he believes he did nothing wrong...and Romney and Murkowski or just Romney vote to impeach?
2. Nixon is impeached for covering up a crime... minor crime... He decides NOT to fight it out... Big mistake IMO, but he resigns because he really has no defense, nor does his party try to help him.
3. Now we have a situation, whereby a sitting president not only committed a real honest to goodness crime, but he lied about it, plus he sold out his country. In fact, he put together this criminal enterprise, and he drags his family into it. His son is the bag man.
IOWs this is a real impeachable offense.
This proves that many Republican Senators are unserious people. The Dems cheapened the process with two and a half phoney impeachments against Trump. Now that there are tangible “crimes and misdemeanors” against Brandon, now they get cold feet. I want to spit!
MAGA has been taking it in the shorts for far too long and mainstreamers, like you, need to be taught a lesson, we run the party now.
Biden took bribes and there is prima facie evidence of that crime. If the GOP does not impeach Brain Dead they will LOSE the HOR in '24.
Spare us your candy a$$ GOPe/Fox talking points.
But they have, remember Clintoon?
While we are being raped by the DemonRats the GOP holds us down and strokes our hair and says if you resist it will only make it worse.
Apparently there is no HonorInPa. What a joke.
Ain’t that the truth.
No one ever saw Ted Bundy do anything ‘untowards’ a woman.
It saves me time.
As for this one, the first sentence said: "...House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's recent comments about opening an impeachment inquiry into President Biden were greeted with skepticism from Senate Republicans, including one who warned against following the lead of Democrats who "cheapened" the process under former President Trump...
Yes.
The Democrats DID cheapen the process. But the realization is sickening that we have total idiots on our side who think that beginning an impeachment inquiry by itself is "cheapening" the process.
They equivocate a kangaroo court of an impeachment process on a President who ABSOLUTELY did nothing wrong, with an impeachment inquiry into a President who has provably and beyond any reasonable doubt lied to the country, openly, and unabashedly doubling down on that lie, who has been in the lucrative (tens of millions of dollars worth) business of influence peddling using taxpayer money in the process of selling out our country for personal gain.
That is pretty sickening right there. A-hole douchebags who would whine "We don't want to be like them and cheapen the process..."
There may be MANY reasons NOT to impeach, such as the conscious decision to oust Biden for the likes of Kamala Harris, but "cheapening" of the impeachment process is not one of them.
No impeachment. Hang him for treason.
GOP - spineless and clueless. To equate Biden’s impeachable offenses to what they had on Trump shows incredible cowardice.
There we go taking the “high road” again. THAT’S WHY OUR SIDE IS A BUNCH OF LOSERS. The far-left “cheapened” the process. Well, maybe they thought it needed some cheapening so they could use it to destroy Republicans. We need to cheapen it back.
A grand jury was formed and a Democrat DA presented the ham sandwich as evidence. The man was indicted and the indictment went to trial. The man professed his innocence. The Democrat DA presented his ham sandwich to a new jury at the trial. They jury found the man innocent. This really enraged the Democrat DA. The Democrat DA was going to get this man, one way or another.
About a year later, another little girl was brutally murdered. The Democrat DA knew exactly who murdered the girl so he gathered his ham sandwich and went through the entire process again. The man was yet again found not guilty.
The people were upset because the Democrat DA clearly targeted the same man who was obviously innocent. Ham sandwiches do not murder. So the people elected a Republican DA. A little while later another little girl was murdered. This time investigators had their man. There were multiple eyewitnesses, DNA evidence, and the murder weapon, a bloody knife. The Republican DA decided to not pursue the matter because it would cheapen the process.
Whenever the “Post Trump political era” begins (1 AD - after Donald) will doom the neo-Whigs ( formerly the GOP ).
My thought is there are many “leaders” we count on who are compromised and therefore neutered. They are manipulated by the fear induced by self-delusion. It points out the extent of the problem we face as people attempting to maintain a Nation. There’s lots of hard work ahead of us. People are being forced to live the lie or confront the lie. The purification process is under way. BTW, it takes faith to do the work.
Oh wait, lemme guess. The usual Establishment RINO aka uniparty beta cucks.
“we can’t do what the Democrats do! Our role is to just roll over and take it.”
