Because if every president is impeached then nothing is criminal anymore

I don’t really like Joe Biden either, but these assholes don’t even have any evidence of wrongdoing…

Their fee-fees were hurt when Biden won the election. This is all about revenge for Trump.

I get that, but they can’t just impeach him for no reason and they have not as-of-yet proven that there was any crime or wrongdoing.

Didn’t the Clinton impeachment start with looking into a money-losing land deal, then end up with an extramarital blowjob? I’m just saying they can make whatever flimsy excuse they can, then run with it through the election. Idiot magats will whatabout it on the same level as all trumps current court cases.

But that’s exactly what they’re trying to do. It is every bit as empty as the Clinton impeachment. Just like then, the Republicans KNOW this is for show and an impeachment won’t get any approval in the Senate. So they can just do a performance for the base.

No wrongdoing? How about when he stole the election?!? He went and got more people to vote for him simply by not being an idiotic, self-absorbed, criminal. That’s a violation of the core ethos of the GOP. IMPEACH!

We’re in a weird place where Republicans are openly trying to turn the country into an autocracy, and a large portion of the country supports them.

Impeached on what grounds? … Hunter Biden’s laptop… uh… the deep state… ? I don’t know.

I’m sure it will be for something totally legit and not insane at all.

It’s a crime family!!!
What crime was committed? No one knows, their imaginary whistleblowers always disappear.
