A couple of weeks before the midterm elections, Kevin McCarthy assured voters that House Republicans, if given the majority, wouldnโ€™t be so rash as to go on an impeachment binge.

โ€œI think the country doesnโ€™t like impeachment used for political purposes at all,โ€ he told Punchbowl News at the time. โ€œI think the country wants to heal,โ€ he added, and avowed that he didnโ€™t think anybody in the Biden administration merited impeachment proceedings.

The voters gave Republicans a chance, awarded them narrow control of the House.

And now Republicans are starting their impeachment binge.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) rose in the House Tuesday evening after the last vote. โ€œFor what purpose does the gentlewoman from Colorado seek recognition?โ€ asked the presiding officer, Rep. Russell Fry (R-S.C.).

The gentlewoman sought recognition to unveil a parliamentary maneuver that would force a vote within 48 hours on H. Res. 503, โ€œImpeaching Joseph R. Biden Jr., president of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.โ€

 

No impeachment proceedings. No investigation. No evidence. No crimes. Not so much as parking ticket. Just a willy-nilly, snap vote to impeach the president, because Boebert dislikes Bidenโ€™s immigration policies. In her mind, โ€œPresident Biden has intentionally facilitated a complete and total invasion at the southern border,โ€ she charged on the House floor.

 

At this, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) flew into a fit of jealousy because Boebert had thought to use the maneuver (called a โ€œprivileged resolutionโ€) to force an impeachment vote before Greene got a vote on her articles of impeachment against Biden. Boebert stole her impeachment articles, Greene whined to reporters, calling Boebert that name that every kindergartner fears: โ€œCopycat.โ€

Congresswoman Jewish Space Lasers then confronted Boebert on the House floor and called her a โ€œlittle b----โ€ who โ€œcopied my articles of impeachment,โ€ according to a Daily Beast account that Greene confirmed.

But Boebert was unmoved โ€” because sheโ€™s on a mission from God. She filed her impeachment resolution because โ€œI am directed and led by Him โ€ฆ by the spirit of God,โ€ she told the evangelical Victory Channel.

God could not be reached for comment.

The fundamental issue is the non-disclosure and misrepresentation of sources of income.  Bribes and payoffs don't generally come with W2 or 1099 forms.  So really not so much the avoidance of taxes through improper deductions and credits.

Some excerpts:

 

Bidenโ€™s claim is false. 
 

Bidenโ€™s claims that a stabilizing brace turns a pistol into a gun and increases the caliber of a gun or bullet are false.

 

Bidenโ€™s claim is false, as CNN and other fact-checkers have previously noted.

 

Bidenโ€™s claim is false. 
 

Bidenโ€™s claim is false. 
 

Itโ€™s not true that every single environmental organization had endorsed Biden. 
 

This is false. 


Bidenโ€™s โ€œ70%โ€ figure is not close to correct. 


Bidenโ€™s claim that he has visited Afghanistan and Iraq โ€œ30-some timesโ€ is false โ€“ the latest in a long-running series of exaggerations about his visits to the two countries.

 

Bidenโ€™s โ€œ17,000 milesโ€ claim remains false. Biden has not traveled anywhere close to 17,000 miles with Xi, 
 

The old boy, who I am told is a good American president and decent man, has been having a bit of a cage match with the truth. Also, but Trump.
