Jeffries Calls Out ‘MAGA Republicans,’ ‘Conspiracy Theories’ As McCarthy Changes Tone On Biden Impeachment Inquiry

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) snapped back at MAGA House Republicans’ “conspiracy theories” on Tuesday afternoon, less than a day after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) publicly claimed the ongoing probes into President Joe Biden and his family are “rising to the level of impeachment inquiry.”

I think this is a great idea! Impeachment worked out so well for the GOP the last time they tried it.

The House GOP is so out of its mind that it thinks phony impeachment hearings over literally nothing will divert most Americans from Trump’s many criminal cases.

Only the deplorable Republican base will, one hopes, think this charade is of interest. It is important for legitimate journalists to paint an accurate picture of the phony Gym Jordan/James Comer impeachment hearings since it will he utterly clownish.

Let’s face it, Kevin McCarthy has no balls. If he had any, he would tell the Asshole Caucus to go fuck themselves. After all, if they vote him out as Speaker, they wouldn’t find anyone else stupid enough to replace him For better or worse, they’re stuck with him. But again, like most Republicans. they lack the savvy to do anything other than bitch, but offer no solutions. Sad!

Has Qevin been down to Mar-a-Dingo lately? Seems like someone has been working him.

He is a pathetic, spineless, half-wit. But he’s still a mental giant next to that blockhead Comer.

Gym Jordan has a law degree. That’s not the same as being a lawyer but as you know, you go to impeachment with the lawyers you have. They’re not the lawyers you might want or wish to have at a later time.

There may be a time when these useless stewards of the public trust have an epiphany and lift a finger on behalf of the people that elected them but have shown no such inclination so far…living each day knowing the you are just part of a coordinated frat boy grift has got to have some consequences…

The GOP is relying on the Media going full bothsideism when it comes to the bullsh*t spewing out of Qanon Kevin’s pie hole about President Biden.

Those of us who were around during the Clinton Wars of the hot '90’s remember how every phony accusation against President Clinton put out by Kenneth “porn” Star was treated as factual. At the same time the SCLM ignored every bit of exculpatory evidence that proved Starr was pulling a Durham.

Sadly Senator Clinton received the same treatment when she ran in 2015.

The Orange POS however was given a free pass.

Most of these guys ran as fronts for shady local businessmen, they are helping the people that got them elected. Once elected they realize what a small pool they’ve been swimming in and the amount of money that they can transfer to even larger businessmen with a national reach.

Can’t try that in a small town.

“High Crimes and Misdemeanors” is the foundation for impeachment. What don’t the MAGA Repubs understand besides reality?

Kevin McCarthy is the dimmest of dim bulbs. He’s not a leader, he’s the monkey on the end of the tether of the MAGA circus grinder.

They’ve got absolutely nothing on Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. NOTHING.

In their fever dreams the Repugnicants imagine a whole host of ‘crimes’, basically because Uncle Joe, Jr. is getting things done which they don’t like to see come to fruition. Their idiot base cheers them on because it is the only thing they know how to do.

It is sad, really, to see this great country denigrated by affluent (mostly white & male) fools with nothing better than waste our time and tax dollars with their lies. The 1/6 indictments need to come down hard not just on the Golden Turd® but all the R Congressman licking his foetid buttocks in fealthy.
