House Republicans Are Suddenly Desperate to End Biden Impeachment
House Republicans know that their rapidly shrinking majority—and their lack of evidence—has put them in an impossible position.

Despite drumbeating for more than a year to impeach Joe Biden, House Republicans have quietly begun looking for an off-ramp in the face of an overwhelming lack of evidence against the president—and a rapidly shrinking majority in the chamber.
Republicans have accused Biden and his son Hunter of corruption and influence peddling, but their lengthy investigation has failed to turn up any proof of the president’s wrongdoing. In fact, the biggest criminal act revealed during the course of the probe was committed by the GOP’s own star witness, Alexander Smirnov. The Department of Justice has accused him of making up the allegations against the Biden family that jump-started the whole impeachment effort.
As the investigation crumbles, Republicans are starting to sour on it entirely. “I don’t think we have the will to impeach Joe Biden,” Texas Representative Troy Nehls told Fox News on Tuesday. “We just don’t.”
You're viewing a single thread.
It should not be about will, but about evidence.
Republicans never had facts on anything, so they will not care about them now
They had plenty of facts according to them until recently, it's just those facts were unsubstantiated lies fed to them by Russian intelligence according to the operative who confessed he was working for Russia when he lied about the info to the FBI that the GOP were crowing about on Fox entertainews as extremely credible.
Still waiting for apologies and resignations from Fox, James Comer, etc.
Conservatives knew the "evidence" was fake. The public at large knew the evidence did not exist. Everyone knew this was all made up, yet conservatives thought they could push this through by sheer will. This was never about evidence for them. This was always dishonest.
A conservative is incapable of honesty. Every word uttered by a conservative is either deception or manipulation. Every word. This has been true throughout history and will not change in our lifetimes.
They probably just assumed if they started an investigation they'd come across something real that they could nail Biden on. After all, that's true for any Republican, and they believe Democrats are just as corrupt as they are.
That's true. That's why every accusation from a conservative is a confession.
To believe that it's a universal truth that Republican are bad by default is just another way to become mystified by propaganda. I recommend not that thinking because it's nice to have robust solutions for the real problems we face and we each see something different. Just don't let your brain fall out...
Any Republican that voted in favour of impeachment is fucking corrupt, as they already knew there was no evidence to support it.
But if you tell yourself impeachments against "your guy" were completely political, that must be how it works right?
It must be so hard to live in that reality.
It's easier to live without thinking and without reason than you expect.
Even an idiot can do it. They just assume they're never wrong and yada yada yada narcissist's prayer, etc.
It's very easy for them to live in that reality when:
- you have talking heads on Fox news and other media outlets shoving talking points down your throats.
- social media platforms will push lies for pennies to millions of users instantly
- political careers depend on bending the knee to the loudest, most extreme, fear mongering, wannabe dictator.
What's hard is to break free from that reality and find the truth after you've allowed yourselves to be brainwashed by the cult which is the current state of "American Conservatism."
They don't live in that reality. What you have to understand about conservatives is that they have an enlarged fear center in the brain and they value white supremacist hierarchy over any other thing, even truth.
They know for a fact that their guy did actual crimes and they just don't care. They understand that storing Top Secret documents next to the bathroom copier is worse than the unsecured email server they were screeching about in 2016.
If you consider a perspective where white supremacist hierarchy is more important than truth or integrity, all their behavior magically starts making sense.
I laughed so damn hard at this the bleach I was drinking shot right out my nose!
Best way to keep that from happening again is to shove a UV lightbulb up your nose.
Wait, it goes up your nose? Well, this is awkward.
One of them goes up your nose. Don't get them mixed up though.
Please tell me you washed it before it went into your nose.
Wash it? Ridiculous. What exactly do you think the UV is for?
Yeah it would be doubly damning for them if they had the evidence but were unwilling to proceed
But he was in a position to abuse his power and all people do, therefore despite lack of evidence and history of these acts he's guilty. It was worth investigating but they should have stopped when it became obvious there wasn't any real corruption.
It was worth investigating
No. No it wasn't. There was never anything to investigate other than the rumors they themselves made up.
