House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and top Republicans have begun to strategize about how to move forward with an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden this fall – the latest sign that the House GOP is seriously laying the groundwork to initiate rare proceedings against the current president.

In recent weeks, McCarthy has privately told Republicans he plans to pursue an impeachment inquiry into Biden and hopes to start the process by the end of September, according to multiple GOP sources familiar with the conversations. While McCarthy has already publicly threatened to launch an inquiry if allegations from IRS whistleblowers hold up or if the Biden administration does not cooperate with requests related to House Republicans’ Hunter Biden probe, sources say that McCarthy has sent even stronger signals about his intentions behind closed doors.

      The Clinton impeachment backfired, so let’s impeach someone squeaky clean. FAFO Mr. Speaker.

        Honestly the world was a different place with during Clinton’s time. Hell, I think both Georgia and Alabama had democrat governors at the time. I’m half convinced microplastics are as bad as lead and have just fucked our brains up en masse. I’m just hoping if I get dumb enough maybe I can be as happy as my cats.

      Well in all honesty we have not had a president that was not guilty of something like that since maybe 1979. Which is not to defend republicans. Since they are just as guilty as anyone else about all that if not worse. We just really need to clean up our government and politicians.

      Even Barack Obama who while I was not a really big fan of his overall. Did a pretty decent job. Still had potential war crimes Etc on his record. And about the saddest compliment you could give him in relation to that was he was the best president we’ve had so far this century.
