Frenzied Base, Spineless Leaders Make Biden Impeachment Likely If GOP Takes House: Gellman - Alex Wagner

[Rhiannon12866]

Barton Gellman, staff writer for the Atlantic, talks with Alex Wagner about his reporting on why a Republican House majority would inevitably lead to impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden as well as members of Biden's administration given the weakness of anyone in GOP leadership to resist the inflamed passions of the party's base. - Aired on 10/26/2022.

1. I'm aware of the threats. Any idea what they think they are going to try to charge him with?

I heard a couple of older guys giggling like schoolgirls with a tiktok over some video that showed Biden in jail.
I know they were worked up over Benghazi and e-mails in the past, so what do they have their bloomers in a bunch about now?

2. That's my question, too!

Joe Biden has not only done a masterful job of cleaning of messes left from the previous four years, but he had 36 years in the Senate and 8 in the Executive Branch, having the most experienced POTUS in our history has paid off!

9. Well I've said elsewhere as a Bernie fan, I'll have to admit that Biden has been the president I

thought I'd never see in my lifetime. Bernie couldn't have done any better.

Also, I love the fire he shows when talking about the republicans. Definite shades of FDR!

5. They will charge him with Benghazi, or Hillary's emails,

Or Hunter Biden’s laptop, or the sun rising in the East. It really doesn’t matter, as long as they throw some red meat to their base.

3. I watched Morning Joe for a few minutes the topic

of the day was impeaching Joe Biden, Kamala Harris,
Garland, whoever. They really have no reason. Just impeach everyone.

4. I know, when I watched this last night it sent me over the edge, the only reason is retribution

They want to impeach anyone who they can think of as retribution for impeaching the criminal who they continue to support - for attempting to overthrow the government of the United States! What could possibly be worse than that??

6. I'm actually not very worried about it.

If Democrats retain control of the Senate, they can just dismiss the whole thing within minutes of its arrival in their chamber. And if Republicans take control, they won't have enough of a majority for anything to be done.

I also remember what happened when the Newtzies went after Clinton. By the time they impeached him, the majority of voters could clearly see the whole thing was a power trip unrelated to actual high crimes and misdemeanors, and Republicans got shellacked during the following midterms.

7. Be prepared for a shit show of Epic proportions....

8. In a way I'm kinda ok with it

Any random reason they can drum up for a bogus impeachment will take time on their part. This is time that won’t be spent actually passing legislation that hurts democracy and the American people.
Let them act the fool. President Biden is a strong, confident man whose legacy won’t be stained by maga idiots.
