he GOP-led House voted 216-209 on Tuesday in favor of advancing a resolution to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

The final vote on the resolution is expected to take place Tuesday evening after almost three hours of debate on the House floor.

Mayorkas faces two charges over his handling of the southern border, including a "breach of trust" and a "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law."

You have to admit MTG has taken the lead on this issue and corralled the GOP to vote to move the resolution forward.

One thing that is now very clear….McCarthy and Crazy Liz were blocking Trump and the conservatives.

The only problem is his replacement will be just as bad.

He’s not going to convicted in the senate. He’ll continue as nothing happened.

Yep. 214 to 216. Four Pubs voted Nay and one didn’t vote.
Have to wait a short time to find out who those five scumbags were.

That’s too bad but hardly surprising. Has the house accomplished even one thing the last 13 months? If they lose the house in January 2025, it will be their own fault.

(1) Where in the Constitution does it say that a Homeland Security department is mandated?

(2) Does the House not control the purse strings? They can easily withhold the department's budget and Mayorkas' salary.

More Kabuki theater

“Have to wait a short time to find out who those five scumbags were.”

It’ll be ‘The Usual Suspects.’ Count on it. :(

Not surprising at all.
I’m even angrier now. The next vote was to suspend the rules and pass a stand-alone bill for appropriations for Israel. 2/3 majority required and it was 250 to 180. Failed. On this one 14 Pubs voted Nay and again, 1 didn’t vote.
I had to turn it off. My blood pressure demands it. I’m disgusted with the whole lot up there.

And yes, if the Pubs lose the House, they have only themselves to blame.

That it’s the ‘usual suspects’ is pretty much a given.

“...if the Pubs lose the House, they have only themselves to blame.”

How REFRESHING it would be if they’d actually LISTEN to their Constituents for a change!

But, there’s no cash-o-la in that, is there? *SPIT*

Congress is now (and has been for way too long!) a one-way ticket to WEALTH. America be d@mned. :(

What I would like to see happen, I can't post. But it would sure be refreshing if it happened.

My congresscritter started out fairly well and did listen but now he's in it for the money. No longer a representative. He's a full-blown DC politician.

Putin could still do it, and we haven't quit pokin' that bear.

LOL You probably have a good idea of what I’d like to see happen. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one with that wish.
