Biden Gives Perfect Response to GOP's Baseless Impeachment Inquiry

From MeidasTouch:

https://www.meidastouch.com/news/biden-gives-perfect-response-to-gops-baseless-impeachment-inquiry

Speaking at a fundraising event in McLean, Virginia, Biden told donors that he would remain focused on what matters most — helping the American people.

"Everybody always asks about impeachment. I get up every day — not a joke — *not* focused on impeachment. I’ve got a job to do. I've got to deal with the issues that affect the American people, every single solitary day."


Biden reflected on how Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene sought to impeach him his very first day in office. The extremist Republican, a leader in the party, did in fact file articles of impeachment one day after President Biden was sworn in. Biden added:

"I don’t know quite why, but they just knew they wanted to impeach me. And now, best I can tell, they want to impeach me because they want to shut down the government."

Greene, who has previously embraced baseless conspiracy theories, said the president is unfit to hold office because of “his pattern of abuse of power" when he served as vice president in the Obama administration and interacted with Ukraine...


Asinine statement from a stupid woman.

It's not like most of them have ANY idea how our government works. They just know they get great financial opportunities if they vote the way the super fat cats tell them too and make noise to keep the maga cult in a lather.

That if they impeach Joe, found him guilty, and removed him- you know who gets to be President next?

Cause I know.

They won’t be happy then. Im pretty sure if that.

But I can guarantee that if Joe dies tomorrow, the GOP will attempt to murder Kamala before the month is out, to get McCarthy into the WH. They'll make sure that no one she picks becomes her VP, even though she has the right to choose her own. With that slot vacant, in steps McCarthy.

I guarantee that will be the real s**tshow that happens if Biden can't serve.

That's why we have to win the House and Senate this time. So if something does happen to Joe, Kamala can get a VP through.

If I were Kamala, I'd really twist the knife in there and put Katie Porter in the VP slot. That would terrify the traitor trash like nothing else.

they have a crazy idea that Biden will somehow control the direction of all these legal troubles affecting Republicans who are facing court proceedings.

And if I dare say it, I think that this tactic worked somewhat during the Clinton years. You look at Clinton's Centrist, triangulated agenda and you just got to wonder. He gave up on so many social programs that were a big part of the Democratic platform. Clinton was probably the first who faced this massive onslaught of pressure from the Right, which was aided by the non-objective media. The fact that he survived it was a miracle, but at what great cost.

Just look at the Republicans in Congress. Obviously incompetence and stupidity are important to Republican voters.
