They get to pretend like impeaching Biden is the right thing to do, they get to feel entitled to it, they get to blame democrats for not doing it.

All their fake scandals are just fantasies that they talk about on a propaganda network. facts are only helpful if they're bad from democrats. If they're inconvenient for republicans, they just ignore them.

...Trump can be re-impeached and convicted before Biden is inaugurated.

The House can begin impeachment hearings and vote for it before Christmas and hand it to a D Senate January 5th. Who can fast-track it like McConnell would if he got the chance.

Second, Biden isn’t a Federal Officer, so he can’t be impeached ... yet.

Third, they’re in bad shape if this is all they have to talk about.

They have to prime the Trumpies for the inevitable. This is as good a way as any with that pack of lunatics.

Others saying the Biden is not in office.

Both are true and Gutfield is really stupid for even having the thought in his tiny smooth brain. However, how about the FACT that Biden hasn't done ANYTHING even remotely calling for impeachment. Trump was NOT cleared by the Mueller Report, but Democrats did not impeach for that. They impeached on a SECOND abuse of power situation. They also have many more things they can impeach again for. What do Republicans think Biden is doing (other than being a competent Democratic party member) that deserves impeachment.
