are two reasons I’ve heard. It’s all nonsense but it’s not like they need a good reason.

1) The “debacle” of the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

2) His “bungling” of the Corona crisis, especially how he infringed on civil liberties.

Not saying that I agree with the narrative or framing, just reporting on things I’ve heard hear and there.

It would be so easy to turn both of those problems into Chump's creations (or failures).
Even the Repukes must realize that.

But their voters believe they can.

Bannon and Gaetz keep telling them that they can make Trump speaker of the house, then they'll just impeach Biden and Harris - and Trump will be back in the WH.

It's a simplistic theory for the simple-minded - but the Trump-humpers are happily convinced that it's going to happen.

They will impeach both at the same time, then because they won back the House, it will be whomever they appoint speaker......you guessed it.

there is a better chance of removing him from office using the 25th, THEN you impeach Harris. There's some MAGAt logic for you!

It's not impeachable, he did nothing wrong while getting us out of that quagmire, but that's what they're going to impeach him over, the 13 dead Marines.

But first they are getting the votes lined up.

The reason is actually the least important part of the impeachment process.

Remember that the Clinton Impeachment started from the Whitewater investigation, then went to "Travelgate", then finally because Clinton lied about an affair (as many caught in an affair might do), then impeached him for lying to Congress.

It took several years for the GOP to find something on Clinton, but they eventually did. I am sure the GOP would do the same to Biden. They have that little character that they would waste everyone's time and money for partisan gain.

that's what I keep seeing. He and Hunter were paid $35M and thus he will have to be impeached.
