Good idea? Bad idea? Obviously, this will go nowhere with a Democratic Party majority in the House, and won’t even be debated, much less voted on. Will any other Republicans have the cajones to back her, considering the way Trump was treated by the Democrats for four years? Will Republicans #Resist? I guess we’ll see
Newly elected Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced on Wednesday that she would be filing articles of impeachment against President-elect Joe Biden on the first full day of his presidency.
Greene made the announcement during an interview on NewsmaxTV.
“I would like to announce on behalf of the American people, we have to make sure that our leaders are held accountable. We cannot have a president of the United States that is willing to abuse the power of the office of the presidency and be easily bought off by foreign governments, foreign Chinese energy companies, Ukrainian energy companies,” said Greene.
“So on January 21st, I will be filing articles of impeachment on Joe Biden,” she added.
The question here is, can Joe be impeached for things that happened when not in current office, and voted out of office? Could he be impeached and booted for things he did while Vice President and/or as a private citizen? There really isn’t an answer to that, not Constitutionally or any law. Article II Section 4 doesn’t say when “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors” had to have occurred.
“On January 21, 2021, I’ll be filing Articles of Impeachment against Joe Biden for abuse of power,” she tweeted.
When TheBlaze reached out to Greene’s office to clarify her motivation for filing impeachment articles, her spokesperson offered the following response:
Rep. Greene simply wants to be a voice for the voiceless. American conservatives have been banned, censored, deplatformed and physically attacked. Unfortunately that removes hope from the people. Congresswoman Greene wants to defend these Americans and represent the Silent Majority.
We all know Democrats will not play nice. Unity? Pffft. They say they’re trying to unify while stabbing Republicans/Conservatives in the back. They’ll complain that Republicans are not playing along with #Unity for refusing to back far left crazy legislation and Biden admin rules/regs. They are very much sore winners.

It’s to be expected from the right-wing loons. They feel/believe that trump lost by fraud. They feel/believe that Covid is a hoax (but over 400,000 American families say “f@ck you”). They feel/believe that global warming is communist plot. They feel/believe that President-elect Biden is indebted to the Chinese. All it takes is evidence.
So sure, why not have impeachment of Biden on day one. I’m sure Speaker Pelosi and Senator Schumer will get the committees started tout suite. AG Garland will get right on it. Maybe he can hire (and even pay) Rudy Giuliani to be the lead investigator.
Maybe the nuGOP can recapture the House and Senate in 2022 and spend a year investigating. Benghazi!! Emails!!
Ho-hum…
Bwaha! Lolgf
Under democrat party rules, only republicans may be impeached, and for them, no evidence is needed. Just the votes.
The perfesser has it bass-ackwards of course. It was the GOP that impeached President Clinton for lying about a blow-job. Ho-hum…
trump, on the other hand, tried to strong-arm the Ukraine President, his impeachment was quickly defeated by a party line vote in the Senate after no evidence being heard.
And what political party wouldn’t want to be led by Marjorie Taylor Greene (Q-Anon).
Greene linked Hillary Clinton to pedophilia and human sacrifice and speculated the Pizzagate conspiracy tale was real. Greene claimed Clinton murdered her political enemies.
Greene supported the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory. She stated in a video, “There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take this global cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles out, and I think we have the president (Trump) to do it.
Greene wrote 59 articles for the now-defunct conspiracy website, American Truth Seekers, including one linking the Democratic Party to “Child Sex, Satanism, and the Occult”.
She has expressed racist, antisemitic, and Islamophobic views.
In a 2017 video posted to Facebook, Greene expressed doubt that the perpetrator of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting acted alone, an incident intended as an attack on the right to bear arms. She believes the Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand were a “false flag” for the same end.
In 2018, Greene expressed support for a conspiracy theory that a plane did not hit the Pentagon during the September 11 attacks, saying that “it’s odd there’s never any evidence shown for a plane in the Pentagon”. At a Conservative conference in 2018, she said 9/11 was part of a plot by the United States government. Eventually she admitted, “Some people claimed a missile hit the Pentagon. I now know that is not correct. The problem is our government lies to us so much to protect the Deep State, it’s hard sometimes to know what is real and what is not.”
She blames the US government for her false beliefs! Classic.
The dems will ditch Biden within the year (either by the 25th or impeachment) in favor of Kamala which is who they really want in charge but knew she couldn’t get elected.
Bingo!, Moondoggy. They wanted the die hard committed communist not the old has been senile socialist. Trouble was the klunt couldn’t even get 5% of her own in the primary so they did what they always do, they cheated. They cheated Bernie to get Xiden “installed” then plugged in Kameltoe to take over when Xiden Arkancides.
Youse guyz are certifiably insane. You derive your sustenance from conspiracies.
Or maybe you’re just idiots. Hard to say.
What is easy to see is that you’re always wrong.
No, there was no conspiracy to replace Biden with Harris. While nuCons treat a president like their Messiah (they need someone to tell them what to believe and do) Dems view a president as the head of the executive branch.
We understand your sadness seeing trump go down in flames (as predicted), but he wasn’t able to take America with him.
Biden has advanced dementia. He will be allowed to be president until his symptoms can no longer be controlled. It is anyone’s guess as to how long Biden can last, I say 6months to a year. Then Harris is in and Nancy likely moves up. But the big question is why these two were chosen and virtually handpicked by the DNC. My guess is that both will take orders, from Obama. So this is really Obama’s third term. Now, Jeff will say stupid things about this statement. I intend to just ignore him, he is like a fly that is eating poop.
… he is like a fly that is eating poop.
And about as interesting.
Lolgf
No. He’s the poop the fly is eating.
Won’t be long before he tries to get this blog shut down, Teach doxed, fired and his loans called.
devo,
Didn’t you misdiagnose Ms Clinton with Parkinson’s in 2016? Have you examined President-elect Biden for dementia?
Do you accept long-distance diagnoses by doctors? If so dozens of trained psychiatrists have determined Trump having narcissistic personality disorder or worse, malignant narcissism. Under stress he devolves into psychosis.
A more poignant query is why people like you adore him so much? Psychiatrist Bandy X. Lee, MD of Yale Medical School:
“Narcissistic symbiosis refers to the developmental wounds that make the leader-follower relationship magnetically attractive. The leader, hungry for adulation to compensate for an inner lack of self-worth, projects grandiose omnipotence—while the followers, rendered needy by societal stress or developmental injury, yearn for a parental figure. When such wounded individuals are given positions of power, they arouse similar pathology in the population that creates a “lock and key†relationship.”
“Shared psychosis†when occurring at the national level or “induced delusionsâ€â€”refers to the infectiousness of severe symptoms that goes beyond ordinary group psychology. When a highly symptomatic individual is placed in an influential position, the person’s symptoms can spread through the population through emotional bonds, heightening existing pathologies and inducing delusions, paranoia and propensity for violence—even in previously healthy individuals. The treatment is removal of exposure.”
“Briefly, if one cannot have love, one resorts to respect. And when respect is unavailable, one resorts to fear. Trump is now living through an intolerable loss of respect: rejection by a nation in his election defeat. Violence helps compensate for feelings of powerlessness, inadequacy and lack of real productivity.”
How does one deal with Trump supporters? “When the mind is hijacked for the benefit of the abuser, it becomes no longer a matter of presenting facts or appealing to logic. Removing Trump from power and influence will be healing in itself. But, I advise, first, not to confront [his supporters’] beliefs, for it will only rouse resistance. Second, persuasion should not be the goal but change of the circumstance that led to their faulty beliefs. Third, one should maintain one’s own bearing and mental health, because people who harbor delusional narratives tend to bulldoze over reality in their attempt to deny that their own narrative is false.”
Sorry Jeff, did not misdiagnosis a thing.
The manufactured outrage story is beginning to fall apart. Of course sane people already knew this… https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/another-leftist-arrested-capital-protest-identified-democrat-34-year-old-son-new-york-judge/
Hardly. The sad sack Mostofsky in an interview said he was there because the election was stolen. New York Judge??? Sounds kike a Jew to me. Was that the point?
Sane people don’t breach and occupy the US Capitol and threaten to hang the vice-president, do they.
They did not “occupy” the Capitol. They left. They were gone by supper.
Exactly which one “threatened to hang the vice president”? Name names or STFU.
The entire crowd breaking into the Speakers Lobby (where they got Ms Babbitt killed) were chanting “Hang Mike Pence!”. Turn the sound up on the video, and use a source that is not a right-wing blog or STFU.
In addition, a wooden gallows was erected outside complete with a rope noose!
Lin Wood, one of trump’s attorneys said: “Get the firing squads ready. Pence goes FIRST!”, on PARLER which removed it. It was even too extreme for PARLER!
You STFU if all you’re going to do is repeat lies.
If the people who were working there had to hide under tables until the wild animals were finished shitting and pissing on the floors, and escorted out, then yes, it was an occupation.
You are just so CUTE! when you parade your fantasies as facts!
Any update on that brain transplant you’ve been hoping for?
And another, as to be expected https://twitter.com/noltenc/status/1347340292022820864?s=21
“Republicans have an obligation to treat Biden the exact same way Democrats treated Trump.”
I intend to treat Harris – I mean, Biden – with the EXACT same respect that the left has shown Trump for the past four years.
Anyone with a soul (this leaves out 99.999% of Democrats) would know better than to contest this idea.
The lying, corrupt trump has received just the right amount of respect from America.
Trump worshipers have a symbiotic relationship with the “great man”. You give him the adulation he craves, he becomes the father you desire. You both benefit.
Trump will soon be gone and you’ll need to find another father. Unless you think Trump the Father will somehow smite thine enemies and stay as your father.
And this one is always good to show again for commenters who have such selective memories. https://twitter.com/jimfish56837379/status/1349787221495336967?s=21
Just scroll down a bit…
More police than protesters! How novel.
And those protesters didn’t break into the US Capitol Building, shit and piss on the floors and try to lynch Mike Pence.
Now a video of our Vice-prostitute encouraging rioting… https://twitter.com/timrunshismouth/status/1348308027145908227?s=12
Assistant Crack Whore Jil lies once again. Jil is a twit-her! LOL
Encouraging protests differs from encouraging riots.
Stephen Colbert: “How important is it for these protests to continue?â€
Harris: “Critically important”
“But they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop. They’re not. This is a movement. I’m telling you. They’re not going to stop, and everyone, beware. Because they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop before election day in November, and they are not going to stop after election day. And everyone should take note of that on both levels. That they’re not going to let up. And they should not, and we should not.â€
“It’s no wonder people are taking to the streets and I support them. We must always defend peaceful protest and peaceful protestors. We should not confuse them with those looting and committing acts of violence, including the shooter who was arrested for murder. And make no mistake, we will not let these vigilantes and extremists derail the path to justice.â€
Looks like the really aggressive and destructive “protestors†were liberals and antifa types.
That’s what I was trying to tell everyone. My foster son and his friends were there and intend to go back on the twentieth. He said there wasn’t any “riot” only some shoving and pushing among the Trump supporters. He also said the “insurrectionists” as the fascists and Elwood loves to call any non-fascist protesters were mostly Antifa and the Trump people mostly knew who they were. They were telling everybody they were leftists.
Pure BS.
No. The nuCons rely on conspiracies and lies. Don’t believe the Gateway Pudendum or twits.
Yeah believe that little pussy Rimjob.
Bwaha! Lolgf
Condemnant quo non intellegunt
Who here can day like myself that they are a proud moderate?
