LOL: "Impeach Biden."
-
The precedent has been established:
Under the Constitution, impeachable offenses include treason, bribery, and “high crimes and misdemeanors.” The last phrase is generally thought to mean “an abuse of public trust” such as violating the Constitution and endangering our national security. As Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) points out, there are “multiple grounds” to impeach Biden. Here are a few:
Refusing to enforce federal immigration laws. “Probably the most compelling is the utter lawlessness [by] President Biden to enforce the border,” Cruz said recently. “His decision to just defy immigration laws. That’s probably the strongest grounds right now for impeachment.”
Refusing to enforce federal immigration law has allowed nearly 2 million people to enter the country, including terrorists and criminals, who are clearly a threat to the American people. This can certainly be defined as treason as such policies give aid and comfort to our enemies. It could also be defined as a “high crimes and misdemeanors” since allowing certain people to break laws and not others, violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
Moreover, the Biden Administration is funding private organizations that assist illegals, helping them to defy deportation laws. Lastly, Biden’s effort to covertly move illegal aliens to various states using funds designated for COVID tests surely violates the intent of the law.
Abandoning Americans in Afghanistan. The Biden Administration’s actions in Afghanistan resulted in a disastrous withdrawal that prioritized the evacuation of military personnel before citizens. This occurred even though Biden’s State Department was warned well in advance of the impending invasion. Moreover, Biden officials have impeded private efforts to rescue Americans. If abandoning American citizens and leaving them to fight for survival under the brutal Taliban regime isn’t a “high crime,” nothing is.
Reentering the Iranian nuclear deal. Biden’s decision to reenter the Iranian nuclear deal and remove sanctions on the terrorist-supporting country will only encourage its development of a nuclear weapon. Moreover, Biden has blocked a slew of congressional investigations into these talks, which indicates Biden is hiding the substance of these discussions. Clearly, this is a threat to our national security and this reckless action by Biden can also be considered treason.
Lying about Hunter Biden’s corrupt deals. Joe Biden said repeatedly he had nothing to do with his son’s corrupt deals but we now know he was lying. Hunter Biden’s partner, Tony Bobulinski, has said Joe Biden was involved with the deals and numerous documents and Hunter’s laptop appear to back up his claims.
It is now clear that Joe Biden profited by allowing his son to use his position as vice president to secure deals that enriched both of them; they even shared bank accounts. Peter Schweizer’s book, Red Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, documents how the Biden family has received $31 million from individuals connected to Chinese intelligence. This compromising activity with enemies of the United States could be considered treason and perhaps bribery as well.
Weaponizing and politicizing the COVID epidemic. While the Supreme Court has struck down Biden’s vaccination mandate on private businesses, he knew such a mandate was illegal in the first place. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed this, saying mandates are “not the role of the federal government.” Nonetheless, he eventually implemented the unconstitutional mandate on private business costing thousands of Americans their jobs.
Moreover, many of Biden’s agencies—including the Pentagon—have refused to honor religious exemptions to the vaccine, thereby violating the First Amendment. Tens of thousands of military personnel will soon be dismissed as a result, greatly jeopardizing America’s national security.
Incredibly, the Biden Administration is now creating a database of Americans who have asked for this exemption. Why? To harass them? Lastly, Biden’s directive to use race in the treatment of COVID is clearly unconstitutional and violates federal civil rights laws.
Urging Big Tech to constrict freedom of speech. Biden publicly called for Big Tech to “deal with the misinformation and disinformation that’s on your shows. It has to stop.” Of course, he’s referring to conservative criticism of his policies, such as information that demonstrates the ineffectiveness of his COVID policies and stories that expose the massive fraud that occurred in the 2020 election. He even urged Spotify to censor Joe Rogan. Is Biden’s contempt for the First Amendment impeachable? Of course.
Weaponizing the FBI and the Justice Department against parents. We now know that Biden’s secretary of education, Miguel Cardona, initiated this effort by urging the National School Board Association to send a letter to the Biden White House demanding they use the Department of Justice to harass parents who object to critical race theory and other woke policies in public schools. The Justice Department responded by characterizing parents as potential “domestic terrorists” and sought to use the anti-terrorism PATRIOT Act to investigate them. This is nothing short of a full-scale attack on the constitutional rights of American citizens to assemble and speak freely and petition their government for redress of grievances.
Violating the rights of January 6 protestors. In its overly zealous prosecution of the Capitol protesters, Biden’s Justice Department has violated their constitutional rights on many fronts. The Justice Department is prosecuting people for crimes that weren’t committed, arresting people who never entered the Capitol and have held many citizens in jail for over a year without trial, a gross violation of the Sixth Amendment, which guarantees citizens a speedy trial. And yet the Justice Department refused to investigate, let alone charge Michael Byrd, the reckless Capitol Police lieutenant who shot and killed the unarmed Ashli Babbitt in apparent violation of procedure and protocol.
The way to make impeachment hearings effective will be to make them personal.
The illegal OSHA mandate charge could feature Americans fired from their jobs for refusing the jab. The Afghan debacle could be explained by bringing in people to testify whose family members were left behind. Americans living near the border could testify about the impact of Biden’s illegal policies upon the rule and law and constitutional experts can explain how such policies violate federal immigration laws.

If a phone call is grounds for removal, then things are about to get interesting
Donald Trump’s first impeachment was based on a third-party whistleblower who notified Rep. Adam Schiff of a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. On this call, a quid pro quo was allegedly discussed in which Trump would make aid to Ukraine conditional on Zelensky digging up dirt on his future opponent, then-candidate Joe Biden. It was all the rage on CNN, and enough, according to the Democrats, to impeach Trump.
The impeachment bar, usually reserved for the gravest of behaviors and circumstances, was thus officially lowered to shady phone calls, when the proper course of action would have been a strong rebuke and a censure of the president. Ezra Klein, of Vox at the time, made the case on MSNBC for the normalization of impeachment for such conduct. Klein is about to get his wish.
Last week, Reuters reported, in a leaked phone call of which they also claim to have audio, that President Biden, while speaking with then-president Ashraf Ghani of Afghanistan, urged his Afghani counterpart to change the messaging that his military could keep the Taliban at bay, seemingly attaching this as a condition to air support for Ghani’s forces.
Biden, of course, was not looking for inside information on Gov. Ron DeSantis or former ambassador Nikki Haley for an upcoming election. But the standard that his own party established for impeaching a president no longer requires such parsing.
The President clearly tied military assistance to Ghani changing his own messaging, even though, as has now been revealed, Biden knew the conditions on the ground could not hold. The United States removed their contractors and air fleet mechanics who kept the Afghanistan air force on guard, effectively grounding Afghan air support and allowing the Taliban to move unabated across the country. This ultimately led to a catastrophic situation at Kabul airport as Afghanis fell off departing airplanes and 13 American service members were killed in a terror attack.
Tying international aide and military assistance to a presidential favor is what precipitated Donald Trump’s impeachment. It should now lead to the impeachment of Joe Biden in the House, even if Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has shot down the idea should the GOP regain control of the Senate.
These are the consequences Joe Biden’s party has reaped — the eventual impeachment of every president going forward should the opposing party control the House. The Democrats are going to have to live with their actions, norms be damned, as they were warned. Joe Biden really shouldn’t be impeached for the conditions he set on that phone call, but that no longer matters. The game has new rules, and he is going to be made to play by them.

Amen.
Much like Dingy Harry screwed up the Senate, Jerry the Hut and the Schift Show should have been shut down waaay before Articles of Impeachment were drawn, but Nancy pickled those two brain cells years ago.
Welcome to the Brave New World!
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Gotta wonder, or not, how serious the impeachment circus(es) were. No one, who knows anything about the process or the law, thought it would go anywhere.
Was the Senate really going to convict? Either time?
Of course not.
This was all kabuki political theater, so that the anti-Trump people could say "HE WAS IMPEACHED TWICE!!"
sotto voce...and acquitted twice.
The whole thing makes me sick.
But, the gauntlet has been thrown down, and sauce, goose, gander. Welcome to the new (ab)normal.

What happens with a GOP House and a 55-45 GOP majority in the Senate?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Historically speaking, if Biden drops below 40 this fall, 55 is within reach (absolute best case scenario).

That's assuming a fair election. We don't have fair elections any more. I won't be surprised if the days after the elections this fall if the news media isn't discussing how the democrats, in spite of how things looked, managed to swueak out a win and keep control of both houses.
Our government is corrupt, and inept. It no longer serves the people.
