McCarthy floats "impeachment inquiry" into Biden

[RandySF]

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Monday raised a possible "impeachment inquiry" into President Biden.

Why it matters: McCarthy has dangled impeachment against Biden cabinet officials, but this is the closest he's come to making that threat against the president personally.

The House speaker went so far as to kill a right-wing effort to hold a House vote on impeaching Biden over his border policies last month.
What he's saying: McCarthy said in a Fox News appearance that the House's investigation into business dealings by Biden family members is "rising to level of impeachment inquiry."

McCarthy said such a probe would provide the House "the strongest power to get the rest of the knowledge and information needed."
Citing testimony from IRS whistleblowers to the Oversight Committee that the Justice Department slow-walked its Hunter Biden probe, McCarthy accused Biden of "weaponization of government to benefit his family," comparing him to Richard Nixon.

1. What is their "claim"? Is it that Joe made some kind of "illegal"

business deal with China when he was VP?
Are they pulling this completely out of the air?
I have no idea what they are talking about?

9. He beat Trump in 2020

That's evil in the MAGAt's eyes

[MotorCityBeard]

22. Plus Trump was impeached twice

so it's only FAIR.....

The rethugs make me sick.

[CatWoman]

16. I have no idea what they are talking about?

neither do they.

On Twitter all the RW loons are cheering this action and goading them on.

I have only two words: "Newt Gingrich"

2. Comparing Biden to a recent twice elected Republican president? Nasty!!

I realize the cupboard is pretty bare when it comes to legitimate reasons to launch an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, and so those Republicans still intent on doing so are getting rather desperate.

Even so, comparing Biden to a Republican?

Now THAT is REALLY a thoroughly dirty gesture, even for a Republican.

[TreasonousBastard]

3. It's the best they can do.

[DFW]

5. They certainly wasted no time

They brought out one of the vilest insults in their verbal arsenal.

[eShirl]

4. I guess they haven't humiliated themselves in public enough yet.

masocists

[Fullduplexxx]

6. Theyre just want to "even the score"

Probably at trump's insistance

[piddyprints]

7. If business dealings by a president's family members mattered to them,

why wasn't TFG impeached 3 times? Oh yeah ... IOKIYAR. Forgot.

Actually, I find it interesting, but tragic, that they can't get anything on President Biden so, instead, are happy to go after his family, none of whom are public figures. It's already been established that their two-tiered justice crap actually went against Hunter Biden, not in his favor.

Now, how about TFG's family again? You know, the ones who were actually, unbelievably, part of his administration? Remember how they hugely benefitted from daddy being president and made bazillions of bucks off it? TFG himself did the same and no one batted an eye? Remember all that, repugs? **Crickets**

The fantasies I have of what would be fair for those people, from TFG, McCarthy, and down, are not printable.

10. Heard yesterday

They want to start attacking Biden over his granddaughter (Hunter’s child)

[Freethinker65]

8. Biden is President. Hunter continued to be investigated during Biden's term.

Hunter agreed to pay back taxes and penalties. Exactly how does that help Joe Biden?

[Mad_Machine76]

11. Help? Or Hurt?

[dclarston13]

12. So then we get President Harris!

That will make their heads explode!

[Oneironaut]

19. They would need 67 Senate votes, which would never happen.

This is all theater.

[ificandream]

13. Rising to the level of impeachment inquiry, Kev? How come the real media doesn't find anything?

The National Enquirer and Fox are the only ones who do.

[prodigitalson]

14. Trump told him to do that while sitting on his gilded shitter

he told mtg to show the HB revenge porn while perched on the same

[hadEnuf]

15. Impeachment for what? Because the GOP doesn't like Democrats?

Promptly go fuck yourself, Kev.

[LiberalFighter]

17. Impeachment for something that happened before he became President?

[Oneironaut]

18. Impeachment is completely useless now.

Ever since Clinton, there have been serious movements to impeach the current President by the opposing party. Trump got it twice and laughed at both.

Requiring a simple majority to impeach makes it a joke. Every President from now on is going to have an attempted impeachment against them. It’s a political tool at this point.

[senseandsensibility]

20. He's a total bootlicker

to tfg and the freedum caucus. No better than MTG.

[WestMichRad]

21. Too late!

“McCarthy accused Biden of ‘weaponization of government to benefit his family.’ “

You’re one administration too late, Bubba.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

23. Again?

GOP. The party that just don't know when to stop being stupid.

[prodigitalson]

24. tfg is pissing himself in fear and making all his lackeys do

stupid shit. the mtg revenge porn, this, navarro threatening civil war. its really pretty funny even though it has potential for not funny

[kimbutgar]

25. Kevin must be hating all those calls he's getting from the orange maggot

Demanding he impeach President Biden for him to say Democrats as just as bad as me. But President Biden is a good, decent, and honest man. Qualities the orange maggot will NEVER have!
