House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) explained on Sunday why it was important for the House to vote on formalizing an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
Just three days later, and after Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy flip-flopped on his vow to hold a vote before launching the probe, Jordan, one of the three co-chairs of the impeachment inquiry, pulled his own 180 by telling Fox & Friends, “We don’t need that to move forward” because McCarthy’s pronouncement “gives added weight to it.”
Despite having no concrete evidence to support Republican allegations that the president was involved in any wrongdoing as it relates to his family’s business dealings, McCarthy capitulated to MAGA hardliners on Tuesday and announced he was unilaterally opening an impeachment inquiry.
Is it just me or are all of those problems directly related to republican or at least conservative policies? Healthcare crisis because they oppose universal healthcare, debt crisis because they don’t believe in regulations on banks as well as bailing out Wall Street whenever they ask these days, a housing crisis because we let corporations run wild and buy up single family homes for the sole purpose of renting them at incredibly unaffordable rent levels. I think you can point to many instances where we are in the situation we are in, specifically because they are incapable of governing for the people and not for themselves and their friends.
Conservatives have been making life shittier forever. LITERALLY their only core principal is to be against progress.
Conservatives were pro-slavery. Conservatives were anti-union. Conservatives didn’t want women to vote. Conservatives wanted segregation.
At every step in our evolution as a civilization, conservatives look at what LIBERALS did in the past and they say, “that was great, but enough is enough!”.
