Evidence-free since … pretty much forever
We’ve seen this show before. Rudy Giuliani had his law license suspended for bringing meritless lawsuits, unsupported by evidence, alleging massive voter fraud in the 2020 election. He had it, oh yes, massive amounts of evidence he hyped endlessly before cameras but never produced to be independently scrutinized.
House Republicans are playing that game again with their budding Biden impeachment inquiry.
“What actual evidence do you have as opposed to allegations to show to the American public that would merit an actual impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden?” the off-camera reporter asked Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.)
Perry did not take it well.
Notably, during a CPAC event in March Perry made clear his penchant for political revenge. Perry, whose cell phone was seized by the FBI during its investigation into Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, fantasized aloud at CPAC about “leftists” and “Marxists” “quaking in fear” and “losing weight because they’re not eating” because they are so afraid the government may jail them.
Kevin Kruse posted, “As always, the linchpin of their case is that Biden bragged about getting rid of a Ukrainian prosecutor that everyone — even Republicans — said was NOT prosecuting corruption, but they’ve spun it around completely to claim the opposite.”
Why not just subpoena Hunter Biden and get him to answer questions under oath, a “Wake Up America” interviewer asked Rep. James Comer (R-Miss.), chair of the House Oversight Committee. Comer squirmed. Facts are not his friends.
So it goes.
House Republicans choose to open an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. They could choose to join (most) Democrats to re-fund the pandemic-period child tax credit expansion, but no:
Five million more American kids fell into poverty last year. Or maybe it’s more accurate to say they were pushed.
The child poverty rate more than doubled in 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Tuesday, in the largest annual increase in child poverty on record. For the most part, these kids didn’t become poor because the economy is lousy, or their parents were fired, or they were newly orphaned. Most fell below the poverty threshold because, as a country, we chose to make them poor. Specifically, we chose to make them poor again, by snatching a short-livedsafety-net program away.
Governing is not what they’re in Congress for. Most likely their constituents don’t care. “Handouts” they care about. Paying for political reality TV they’re okay with.
