Impeaching officials for disagreement of policy? Is that the road the GOP really wants to go down? Maybe stick with what you “know”, like impeaching Hunter Biden?
I wonder if the R’s can now empathize with the outrage of having the Senate Majority Leader unilaterally squash their intention, as Mitch did with the Garland nomination.
The new republican guy stupidly called for a vote and put an end to months of his crazy lying vicious republican party’s work. Then Raskin called out Comer who had no idea what to do.
Seriously? First off, impeachment is a political action, not a criminal procedure. It has nothing to do with the justice system. Then there is the fact that Mayorkas was barely impeached. The first time they tried, the vote failed. There is no credible case against him, just politics that republicans lost.
Democrats just use the rules that are there the same as the Republicans did for scotus appointments and turn it down trumps to impeachments, clowns on both sides change the rules to fit their imperative ,nothing new
Of course it was rejected. In the current corrupt regime criminals are protected and the innocent are prosecuted on bogus claims by the equally corrupt justice system.
Senate Dems are cowards. They knew the House GOP had the goods on Mayorkas but didn’t like the optics of live TV coverage. This is a political exercise and not one of justice or truthfulness. The votes weren’t there for removal. No worries. All of O’Biden’s lackeys will be gone by January.
Would you like a little cheese with that whine? You didn’t mind that “two-tiered justice system” one bit when Republicans voted along party lines to acquit Trump for actual crimes.
I know this will come as a shock, but impeachment is for high crimes and misdemeanors, and they didn’t name any. Making decisions that right-wing nutjobs don’t like isn’t an impeachable offense.
The House failed even to accuse him of a high crime or misdemeanor. So, Senate Democrats treated it with the EXACT SAME level of seriousness as did House Republicans.
Yes, two tiers: guilty and innocent. No matter how outraged you are that they impeached your guy FOR CAUSE, you can’t then randomly impeach someone else when there’s NO EVIDENCE. (Well, you can, but don’t expect anything to happen.)
The GOP have been screaming “Open Borders!” since Biden’s inauguration, then acted surprised when migrants desperate enough to make the crossing started heading towards the borders. Then Speaker Johnson deliberately buried the bipartisan border bill because Trump didn’t like it. Finally, Speaker Johnson is now pushing separate funding bills for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and is facing a removal threat from fellow House Republicans over Ukraine funding in particular. He now needs the Democratic minority in the House (which has gained a few seats after the special elections in NY and FL) for him to keep the Speaker’s gavel. Should Johnson keep the gavel after this, maybe he should bring the border bill up for a vote in the House. But likely, the GOP in general (and the Freedom Caucus in particular) will continue to devour their own.

That’s official now the Democrats are all for open borders. No two ways about it, not one Democrat in the entire Congress. Voted against open borders.

Did we see the exact same comic when Trump ‘got away’ from his impeachment???
