With the upcoming midterms likely being a red landslide, this would give the republicans the majority in house and senate; by extension, enough votes to be able to initiate the impeachment process.
Given the past impeachments of Trump, which I would argue had less to do with his actions and more to do with politics, does anyone think that the republicans will move to impeach Biden?
If yes, for what reason? Has he done anything so wrong that would render him subject to impeachment?
Failure to enforce laws., i.e. protesting at the residences of the Supreme Justices,
lying about his connection with Hunter and foreign governments
failure to protect the country by allowing the cartel to transport fentanyl thru the southern border
cognitive decline
Kamala Harris too as i dont need a reason, lol
I’d rather the differences be settled at the ballot box. A constant attack to forcibly remove the President just divides the divided country further. Each side digs in.
I would feel better if I knew “one citizen, one vote” was assured.
So if and when Biden get’s impeached, hypothetically speaking, we will all have to deal with Kamala, who is arguably one of the least personable people to ever exist. IF we got her impeached, then it goes to Buttigeig, right? and he’s going to be better than both of them…? Just playing out what impeachment would look like.
I couldn’t agree more. I also agree that an impeachment shouldn’t be politicized… I would like to think that We The People can gather what is and is not allowable for presidential conduct, but I have lost some faith in our people as of late too.
We are no longer “We the People” as our Founders saw us.
We are now two tribes “fighting” over the same piece of land, regrettably.
I think it is possible. They will not have enough to remove him though. Impeachment without removal backfired on the Dems with Trump.
I don’t think Biden has done anything deserving of impeachment, I think if they do move to impeach (given that they take the house and senate), I think it will likely be seen as political revenge, and I am thinking that won’t play well.
This would be related to the local officials near the justices homes. It is a bit of a gray area on legality. IMO, it should be legal to be outside of the Justice’s houses but off their property to protest and exercise ones 1st amendment right.
If this is the standard you are going by, any past president would be rightfully impeached. There have been laws unenforced under every president.
Again, this would be the responsibility of the border patrol, department of transportation, and such. Under Biden’s admin, it is illegal to transport fentanyl across the border. The failure of the other officials to stop it doesn’t fall on him.
Impeachment requires “high crime, or misdemeanor” or something like treason. This doesn’t fit, and we have had multiple presidents that had mental decline, who were rightfully not impeached for it.
This would be tough to prove.
Pistols have been drawn in the house of representatives in the civil war era. There have been periods of division throughout the US’s history, and periods were we were closer together.
None of these are ever going to happen.
Amen.
The speaker of the house is third in line to be president…so, it would be McCarthy
You could be correct…however, the laws being broken by the protestors are federal, cant remember the federal code
As for the border, i was under the impression that it falls under the federal government, not local
I dont see the Republicans doing it anyways…they all cant seem to agree on anything
I feel like you don’t know what an impeachable offense is, nor what the actual duties of the President are.
Both cases may be federal (IDK actually). I still doubt it would fall under Biden’s responsibility.
Now if he intervened to stop officials from breaking up illegal protests (assuming they are illegal, which I am not convinced on one way or the other), that could be seen as a failure to enforce the law.
Just my perspective is that they agree on things more than the Dems do. At one point they had McCain, which was the Republican version of Manchin lol.
But this is division between the politics of individual states. The division today is within each of the states.
There was unity within the Union states and people. And there was unity within the Confederate states and people.
Our division is within the fabric of the people throughout all the states. Much different division IMO.
Treason, bribery or other high crimes or misdemeanors
It is kinda hard to know I think. I am sure there had to be some percentage of the people in the confederate states that sided with the policies of the North and vise versa.
Was it as equal of a split as now? I don’t know.
My perspective is opposite…the democrats all toe in line with Pelosi…at least a few years ago did
this past year i would tend to agree the republicans are more cohesive

No one got the NY Times much outside of NY. No one had the internet. Most people knew there was a war, but now much more than that. News traveled very slow, and debate was limited to the ear shot of the hearers. For the most part, information was scarce.
The actual duties of the President is to enforce the laws put in place by congress and to protect the USA from foreign and domestic threats
Or Clinton.
Change it to crack, cocaine and heroin, and you just described Reagan.
On behalf of one set of chiefs.
It’s telling that people still think trump’s second impeachment was purely based in political gamesmanship.
Agree, in the traditional sense of what was considered “impeachable”, but if we used the democrats’ definition used against Trump - against Biden, I think there would be at least one thing impeachable. Still, I don’t think we should be lowering the bar for impeachment - even if that means keeping Biden in office.
Agree.
