Voters want accountability for the people and agencies responsible for meddling in the latest three elections but Republicans fail to deliver.

    I think there is something you all are not considering. Biden is guilty. It wouldn’t take much of a probe to prove that. So say he gets impeached and then convicted. What then? Guess who is president at that point. Now this could be a good idea: Harris is so low IQ she’s bound to screw up even worse than Biden and has even less of a chance against Trump. But it’s a risk. I mean, she’s reeeeeeeealy dumb. And she would potentially be able to launch nukes. Not to mention eternal shame of having her as the first female president.

    Any impeachment of Biden should stand on it’s own merits. A disturbing aspect of this article is that it considers the impeachment of Biden primarily as revenge for what has been done to Trump. An unending cycle of revenge between the parties is hardly a viable path forward for the USA.

      I agree, but it would be hard to argue against the impeachment of each of the following individuals based on their own actions:

      • Joe Biden
      • Christopher Wray
      • Merritt Garland
      • Alejandro Mayorkas

        I’m all for it but I’ll be surprised if the House does anything. The decades long history of the Republican Party is that it never loses an opportunity to lose an opportunity. Jim Jordan seems to be in the Trey Gowdy mode. Both can put on a good show to rile up the base but it turns out to be nothing more than entertainment. Substantive follow through is completely lacking. Just look at what happened concerning the recent budget dispute. It was entertaining for a while but in the end the Republicans essentially completely surrendered as they always do. What did the Republicans do when they had the Presidency, Senate, and House in 2017-2018? They failed to repeal Obamacare as they promised and revealed that they don’t really give a darn about fiscal responsibility by not reducing overall spending at all and allowing the deficit to skyrocket with an unpaid-for tax cut. The present day Republican Party is filled with grifters. I’ve seen it up close. I was a member of the Pennsylvania State Republican Committee from 2018-2022.

          @veritas @admin “Trey Gowdy Mode” is correct. GOP seems powerless for some reason, and now some are just repeating dem talking points. Are there really sleepers, or did the Dem cartel threaten them?

            How do you define the Precinct Strategy? I tend to think personnel is policy so it all depends on the values of the people implementing the strategy.

                Ok. I looked at it. I am still of the same opinion. It all comes down to the values of the people involved. I’ve been a member of both my county committee and my state committee and I am not impressed by either. In most cases they just go along with whatever is proposed by leadership. Also, often office holders are also members of the committees which reduces the chances that the committees will function as effective checks on the office holders. Often the highest interest of committee members is self interest. There are opportunities for grift on the county level.
