If the Republicans take the House…

Must read. HT/ Woody

Victor Davis Hanson

If the Republicans take the House or perhaps even the Senate, what new norms will they inherit from the Democratic majority of 2019-2021? Will Speaker Kevin McCarthy on national television ritually tear up the text of Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address and grimace while he speaks? Was that Speaker Pelosi’s intended vision of her new “narrative” for the 21st-century Congress?

Will the new majority, calling back to 2018, almost immediately begin impeaching an unpopular Biden?

Will they establish a special committee to investigate the rioting of summer 2020? Perhaps, in the new cannibalistic spirit of the age, will they dig into which national political figures—or colleagues—communicated with the Antifa or Black Lives Matter riot leaders, or offered them bail?

Will Speaker McCarthy veto Democratic committee members and instead appoint his own Democrats—on three criteria: one, that they have previously voted to impeach Biden; two, that either they cannot realistically again run for, or cannot conceivably be reelected to, the House; and three, that in advance they publicly praise and agree with McCarthy on the unwarranted virulence of the 2020 riots?

Will Republicans claim as reason to impeach Joe Biden that he failed to execute the laws as he swore to, by nullifying U.S immigration law? Was he not also guilty of an “abuse of power” and “obstructing Congress,” as he allowed 2 million aliens unlawfully to cross the southern border, during a pandemic without either testing or vaccinations, helping to spread the disease with reckless disregard? Will the new Congress subpoena generals to investigate the surrender and flight from Afghanistan, and especially who ordered it and why?

Would the Republicans follow the new norms and thus impeach a once-impeached and acquitted Biden a second time as he leaves office, and have the Senate try Biden in 2025 as a private citizen—again with neither a special counsel nor formal report—nor with the chief justice presiding over the trial, as the Constitution demands?

Will they appoint a special counsel to appoint a dream team of conservative lawyers? And would they allot a budget of $40 million and a lifespan of 22 months to get to the bottom of the Biden family pay-for-play syndicate, as federal investigators try to square Biden family expenditures and lifestyles with reported incomes?

Would such a counsel subpoena all the records of the Biden family, especially those concerning the financial labyrinth of Hunter Biden, to determine whether the Bidens registered as lobbyists for foreign governments, declared to the IRS their entire incomes, told the truth while under oath, or contacted public officials to influence U.S. foreign policy?

  1. another thing a Republican majority should do is fine the ever-living daylights out of Democrat Party politicians for the flimsiest of excuses – picking ones nose whilst giving speeches on the floor, soliciting pages of any gender for underage sex – the list is endless. Just think of something unspeakably disgusting and I guarantee a Democrat Party politician has done it.

  3. jellybean, I think it’s worse than that. They’re guilty of some crime, there’s pictures, and yes they are being paid for their TRAITOROUS activities, so they accept that, but they also know the price for non-compliance. It’s a deep and maybe undrainable swamp!

  4. McCarthy sucks – he’s the same old shit, and he’ll do nothing worthwhile except enable the left to go unpunished.

    Majorie Taylor Greene, PDJT or Mike Flynn for Speaker. Accept nothing less.

  5. Deep State Repubs are afraid to do what the Dems have already tried or done. Remove the fillibuster (no I do not want that), try everything through reconciliation (no, not for that either. There is a reason for the house / senate difference and needing them to come together. It doesn’t matter whether it is Dem or Repub. Deal with it.

    Hey Chuckie – No you cannot have it now, and despite me being conservative, I do not trust the deep state Repubs to do any better.

    F you all, fjb

  7. anny..way…

    How are people who oppose “progressive” policies, who work (no “scare” quotes) to keep Democrats out of office because of their support of “progressive” policies, going to keep Republicans out of office because of their support of “progressive” policies?

    Or do we just keep cheering and throwing money, when those that self-identify as “us”, keep doing to us what those that call us “they” (to our faces) do?

  8. The Repubs will drop their trousers, bend over the tables, spread their asscheeks, and ask that they don’t get it too hard.
    Well, they want it hard, but they don’t want it vicious.

  9. Nah. They’ll be all “Reach across the aisle”, bi-partisan, collegial and stuff. I’ll bet they even pass a resolution condemning Trump for extremism.
