Kevin McCarthy keeps revealing how ugly a GOP House would be
Mark this down: If Republicans win the House in the 2022 elections, one of their very first acts in the majority will be to impeach President Biden for the offense of having won the 2020 election.
Okay, thats a joke. But only partly. Republicans would not put it in those terms, of course, but that would be functionally what they are doing.
Were now beginning to see just how ugly a House GOP takeover would be for the country. What is unmistakable is that a Republican House would be singularly devoted to using its power to avenge Donald Trumps 2020 loss and to whitewashing his efforts to overturn it in every way possible.
Case in point: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has now openly threatened to use a GOP-controlled House to punish private companies that comply with lawful subpoenas issued by the House select committee examining the Jan. 6 insurrection.

(22,065 posts)is like. Compared to Biden's current administration, and the control (although slim) of the House and Senate in democratic hands, vs. rump's idiotic rein while giving unlimited tax breaks to the 1% who didn't need any such breaks, it's a world of difference, night and day. It's amazing just how much republicans are screaming bloody murder, saying that doom and gloom are here, yet the markets still keep going up, Housing is still strong, jobless numbers are still shrinking, and other indicators of a strong economy persist.
Just how many times will republicans cry Wolf, Wolf, Wolf? Me thinks that their messages are getting to the point of being desperate in order to try and get something to stick to Pres. Biden and they (the gop) are failing in every attempt. This is not a hard thing to do in reality actually, when compared to the gross incompetence that rump displayed almost on a daily basis, as well as the daily efforts put forth by the gop to sabotage any democratic initiatives to deal w/ Infra-Structure, with other pressing needs of the day.
