What a clown.
A clown beholden to the craziest portion of his crazy caucus.

Impeach President Biden.
For what?
No. Seriously.

What are the charges.
All this time, and they haven’t come up with anything.
All the lies that they’ve come up with have blown up in their faces.

But, McCarthy is beholden to the craziest of the right wing. So, he will go through with this farce.

The MSM won’t actually demand to be shown what proof of any charges. Hell ask for what the charges are. Because, they are so desperate for their HORSE RACE. And, for them to be able to declare ‘ BOTH SIDES’.

When it’s not both sides.

One party has a 4 time indicted, with 91 felony charges.

The other party has the President of the United States of America.

These two are not equal.

The complete and utter farce of this bullshyt.

Yes, the “logical next step” when you have zero evidence of any high crimes or misdemeanors (or even wrongdoing) by the President is to launch sham revenge impeachment hearings to appease the 30 fringe “Freedom Caucus” members you sold your spine to to gain your speakership. pic.twitter.com/c9YrZnjDgQ

McCarthy is dumb as hell, but to the extent he has plan, this is it: create the aura of scandal and trust the media won't properly contextualize it. https://t.co/F6QsmJjK6X

Big Kev mouthpiece @JakeSherman still won't include the real news; That his big boy has no evidence and is doing this because of his own corruption.

If you did a man-on-the-street and read a single House Republican's tweet from today to a normal person they would look at you like you'd asked them about the local price of meth

I think McCarthy thinks he can say “start impeachment investigations” but never get around to impeaching Biden, which assumes the Freedom Caucus clowns are dumber than they actually are. He can’t put it off forever & remain Speaker.

Then again, he can’t remain Speaker either way

Kevin McCarthy has lost control of the gavel.

This is an impeachment inquiry founded on conspiracy theories and debunked lies.

Just two republican besties, hanging out, shooting the breeze. Not a care in the world, or Democrat in sight to possibly push back against how completely insane the idea of impeaching Joe Biden is https://t.co/MtswZdr0tX

NEW: The Biden administration has a literal Trump card to play against the House GOP impeachment inquiry:

In 2020, Trump’s DOJ issued a binding legal opinion that impeachment inquiries are invalid without an official vote of the House.

McCarthy is doing this so that the Freedom Caucus will sign off on a CR that can never pass the Senate, let alone make it to the White House. But, Kevin doesn’t seem to really think about things for the long term. Certainly for not what’s best for the country.

https://x.com/BrynnTannehill/status/1701440164843631072?t=PV8Q3Wkb9Scdc0IKBt8dyw&s=03

Rest of the thread and the demands from the Lunatic Fringe Caucus:

First the Freedom Caucus is demanding a vote on impeachment hearings in order to give McCarthy a vote on a “dirty” CR that is stuffed with poison pills. What might those poison pills be? 2/n

1. Abortion bans / making it impossible for raped or dying service women to get an abortion

2. Banning trans people from the military or getting health care from facilities receiving federal dollars

3. Ending support for Ukraine.

These are all DOA in the Senate and WH. 3/n

But, they’re also all completely non-negotiable to the Freedom Caucus. McCarthy doesn’t want sham impeachment hearings, but it only takes one person from the FC to trigger new speaker elections. Given how evenly divided the house is, they could take weeks. 4/n

While the Speaker’s Chair is vacant, there can be no vote on a CR, clean, dirty, or anything in between. Some of the saner Republicans don’t want a full shut down, but they don’t have the votes to get past the FC. 5/n

One of the open questions is what the FC will do regarding pay for the Military. If the shutdown were to happen now, there is no NDAA. They might vote of extending pay to the military at the last minute, but yikes. 6/n

Some Republican leaders, particularly in the Senate, are worried that the blame will fall on them in the 2024 election.

There’s the remote possibility that this all gets untangled by a few Republicans backing Jeffries to break the deadlock. 7/n

But, the FC has the ability for now to hold the entire system hostage to get what they want (which is all generally unpopular stuff anyways). It means no SS checks going out, full government shut down.

They’ve shown little interest in pragmatism. 8/n

If you look at what Sen Tuberville is doing, it sort of clues you in how far they’re willing to go to get their way: they’re more than willing to kill the hostage to advance an unpopular social agenda. They’re betting that someone will eventually cave. 9/n

Perhaps that the blame can be pushed on democrats who stink at messaging. Or perhaps they believe that can control the system after they destroy it. Or maybe blame the economic effects on Biden. But, from where I’m sitting, the situation is worse than any previous shut down 10/n

The previous record was 35 days. I don’t really see the FC and McCarthy finding a compromise they can live with, and CR that will get past the Senate and WH. Things are going to have to fall apart BADLY for the FC to see a breakthrough. 11/n

Plunging poll numbers. All the blame falling on the GOP. RNC billionaire donors threatening to annihilate them all with spending on their opponents in the primaries, and no spending in the general because they’re losing money from the shut down. 12/n

But, at the end of the day, these are ideologues. They’ll happily destroy the nation to “save” it from the menace of abortion and transgender people. We are not dealing with rational actors here, and that’s dangerous AF, and why I think this will go on for a long time. 13/n

Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces a political standoff when the House resumes this week as he tries to avoid a government shutdown and launch an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. https://t.co/A2llwcJ4N5
