      No need for reason or evidence or anything. Hell, we don’t even need a charge with any meat on it. None of that matters.

      All we care about is normalizing Presidential impeachments. That way we get to play whataboutism endlessly.

      Started with Clinton. Most of us thought it was all rather ridiculous, but they tried anyway. Here we are.

        Exactly. Ideally, they would have wanted to have impeached Biden 3 times. This way, Trump could have said that he wasn’t impeached nearly as much as Biden.

        They failed at that, but Plan B is to impeach him once regardless of any evidence or any charges. Then, Trump can claim that impeachment is just a normal thing that opposing parties do and that it means nothing.

        Y’know, like authoritarians. They do authoritarian things. Because they want a dictatorship.

      Well, clearly he committed a very heinous act. He defeated Trump in the 2020 election. That’s not allowed and means he needs to be removed ASAP!

      In unrelated news, watch your step. I seem to have spilled a lot of sarcasm over here.

      In their narrative Trump was impeached for “nothing” so they have to do the same to Biden.

      Doesn’t matter, it’s precedent that empowers them.

      It’s only a matter of time before Republican successfully impeach a democratic president simply for winning the vote. All it takes it them holding enough seats in the house and the Senate.

      What then?

        That’s pretty much what they are doing right now - trying to impeach for being a Democratic POTUS. Oh, and for hurting the fee fees of the cons for impeaching donnie for actual wrongdoing.

        This is why I say no Republican should be allowed into office. When it comes down to it, most of them will support this kind of thing, even if they are so-called “moderates”.

      Uh, he’s a democrat, and this provides some cover for Trump’s historic 2 impeachments. So yes, Biden’s guilty of being politically-inconveniently innocent…
