I thought the two impeachments of Trump were misguided because there was no way they were going to get ten republican votes in the senate. I was more favorably inclined towards the second because it was such an open and shut case, that even if it failed the exposure would sway some independents in the election. We did win the election but I don't know that the second impeachment was much of a factor.
I happened to be watching tv when the reps presented the Mayorkas impeachment. A bit of a solemn affair, about twenty of them including MTG who surprisingly was not screaming or anything. Two days later the whole thing was in the dustbin and aside from a little whining by Mitch and Ted, the whole thing was forgotten. Kind of like the impeachment of Biden and the investigation of Hunter Biden, no longer the shiny play pretties that they once were.
And anyway the republican congressfolk are much more interested in fighting among themselves, and now they can get back to what their voters sent them to congress for which is to bump off their speaker and fight to find a new one and then bump him off, and the beat goes on La-de-da-de-de, la-de-da-de-da
This Mike Johnson is a bible thumper and a Trumper to the max, but maybe not such a bad guy for us dems, not shutting down gummint just for larfs like a drunken teenager, and letting Ukraine getting the aid it so desperately needs.
He was edging towards getting rid of the rule that it only takes one person to initiate the proceedings to dump him, but he backed off at the growl of Greene and Getz (the greasy grimy gopher guts twins). But you know if it comes to that I am sure that there will be enough dem votes to keep him at his post.
Of course there will be things that we will want of him, but we know we will have to give him some stuff too. I would rather have us dems running things on our own, but bipartisanship is better than the reps running everything on their own, which lately consists of them running off their mouths while Ukraine burns.
And strangely we have the greasy grimy gopher guts twins (just had to say that again) to thank for this.
What a world we live in.
