Not as hopelessly ignorant as Boobert and Empty G.......but fucking close.

She's got nothin' on Blackburn though....that woman is stupider than a bag of hair.....

None of them measure up to Rojo and Tuberville though.....

Mace: “Impeachment will never get 60 votes in a Democratic Senate regardless of how much evidence we present.” And so far, you've presented none.

"Zeppo was apparently unavailable." SER strikes again!

As long as the President isn't one of theirs it seems like Republicans are going to try to impeach or at least say they will impeach the President.

If they had any evidence, we would have seen it already

You're spot on. They're incapable of keeping anything close to the chest.

Performative assholery that proves -without any inquiry - that none of the people pushing for this should hold public office of any kind. But being in Congress is the only reality show that would allow them to bother the public with their crazy ideas.

Don't remember who wrote this, but the writer speculated that if the GQP had any evidence of crimes by OHJB, it would have been leaked all over the RWNJ media.

Refresh my memory...is Mace the one who made that pathetic selfie video outside Trump Tower in NYC, wondering why The Donald didn't love her any more? If so, her attitude becomes a lot easier to understand.

"dead on arrival in a Democratic-controlled Senate" - Really? Weak-ass Dems control the senate only on paper.

First, you have to remember that "a Democratic-controlled Senate" is a boogeyman for them. Regardless of reality, it's just a scare phrase. Second, you have to keep in mind that the threshold for impeachment conviction is 67 votes, which they'll never get. So it really is "dead on arrival" regardless how many Dems are actually in the Senate.

Nancy Mace: "We need to release all our evidence to the American people".

American people: "WHAT evidence?? Y'all got bupkis so far. Before you threaten to release it, ya gotta actually FIND some."

"Taken together, these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption."

This is breathtaking. "We made up a story and painted a picture from it". If you stack up the unsubstantiated allegations (lies) they add up to a crime (made of lies). It's creative writing plus painting. It's a graphic* novel.

*too graphic, since they want to show HBP on the floor of congress.

Nancy Mace kills kittens. That allegation paints a picture of evil. It's also an allegation, which means there's no proof behind it. Rethugs are the masters at lying and distorting.

So I gotta ask: isn't it a member of the mainstream media that is quoted in the article asking exactly the questions that need to be asked? I mean, there's plenty of bothsides out there but it seems that the bullshit was actually called in this case. Yes, the nonsense will be covered. After all it IS news. As with Clinton and Benghazi, anyone with eyes to see will be able to spot the horseshit.

Horses, water, etc.

Agreed/. But I, a person who doesn't watch mainstream media, get the impression that that particular instance was the exception, not the rule.

the media is the main culprit. they're not simply helping.

She's partly right; they won't get 60 votes, never mind 67

They'd be lucky to get more than a bare 51% in the House, too

"Republicans want to bury Biden in innuendo and scandal all through 2024 so they can help re-elect their coup-plotting, serially indicted MAGA king. And the media’s gonna help, aren’t they?"

That's why none of this should be taken lightly and "Well, they don't have real evidence" is not an answer.

Hilary Clinton, even after a triumphant 12 hour floor-wiping of Republicans about Benghazi, is on the phone from not the White House.

We won the Electoral College in large part by flipping Right-leaning voters who were just exhausted by Trump. If they become negative to Biden or just both-sides-exhausted we lose that edge.

They are the target audience for this, as Mace's dissembling straddling shows.

Take it very seriously as the theater and clickbait that it will be.
