Expunge

House Republicans are talking about expunging Trump’s two impeachments while also discussing impeaching President Joe Biden.

Trump was impeached twice while the Senate failed to convict him either time. His first impeachment was over his extortion attempt of Ukrainian Pesident Volodymyr Zeleneskyy. Trump was withholding military aid, legislated by Congress, in exchange for political dirt on his main rival, Joe Biden, and his son Hunter. The military aid was in the small likelihood that Russia might someday invade Ukraine and Trump viewed Biden as the one candidate who had a small, although unlikely, chance of defeating him. Keep in mind that it’s Democrats who Republicans say is weaponizing the government against their political opponents.

The second impeachment was over Trump’s attempt to remain in power as an unelected Oompa-Loompa fascist dictator by instigating a white nationalist insurrection attempt and an attack on Congress while it was certifying the Electoral College, a constitutionally-mandated obligation, on January 6, 2021.

The reasons to impeach President Biden is because some people have said things they can’t prove about corruption and son is a scumbag who kept photos of his penis on a laptop.

A president must commit a high crime or misdemeanor to be impeached. That’s not my opinion, it’s in the Constitution. There is zero evidence that President Biden has ever committed a crime despite what you might have read in a Steve Kelley cartoon or in another Steve Kelley cartoon. The argument from the goons is that it’s illegal for a family member of a president to engage in any foreign business deals unless that president is a Republican. Maybe that’s in the Constitution somewhere and I just missed it. Lord knows I’m not as good at journalisming as Steve Kelley.

Even though Republicans have a slight majority in the House, they may not be able to pass a bill expunging Trump’s two impeachments but they could probably pass a bill saying something or other against Critical Race Theory and what they view as rewriting history.

There are several Republicans in tight districts, as in, those districts either voted for Biden or came close to. They view voting to expunge Trump’s impeachments as a ridiculous blood oath they don’t have the capital to spend on.

Republicans are actually squabbling over who gets to write the bill to impeach President Biden. Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene have both written bills, and MTG says Bobo copied hers and called her a “little bitch” on the House floor over it. MTG even got kicked out of the Goon Caucus over it. In the movies, when two villains are arguing over who gets to kill the good guy, that’s usually when the hero escapes. This is the Gang that can’t Impeach Straight.

But now matter how Republicans try to rewrite history, Joe Biden is a legitimate good guy. You can’t impeach a president because he’s unpopular or you disagree with his programs. You can’t impeach him because his son is a fuckup or even if the kid’s corrupt. You can’t impeach a president over allegations and accusations that don’t carry any proof or evidence. And even if Joe Biden received money from a foreign government while he was out of office, you still can’t impeach him over it as that’s NOT illegal. Donald Trump is doing it right now and he did it WHILE he was president (sic). This is true.

There is not a rule in the House saying it can’t expunge impeachments and there are currenty two bills on it. One is by Marjorie Taylor Greene, basically saying Trump was correct to try to get dirt on Biden since he’s so corrupt (without any evidence) so that’s legal grounds to expunge the first impeachments.

The second bill is by  Elise Stefanik and it heavily implies that Trump won the 2020 election and it was stolen from him, so it was OK for him to instigate an insurrection, so let’s expunge that second impeachment too.

Republicans might be able to expunge the two impeachments but it won’t rewrite history. Years after President Andrew Johnson was impeached for firing a cabinet official, the Supreme Court ruled he had every right to fire a member of his cabinet, but the impeachment still stands. Trump will forever be the only president to be impeached twice, unless he steals the White House in 2024 and gets impeached twice again.

Expunging an empeachment is ridiculous. Even Democrats didn’t try to expunge Bill Clinton’s impeachment when they had the power, and that one was over lying about a blowjob.

Go ahead, Republicans and expunge Trump’s two valid impeachments, but the thing here is, and it’s the real kicker…you can’t expunge indictments. And after that, you won’t be able to expunge guilty verdicts and prison sentences.

Have a nice day, Republicans.
