Impeach Pit

The House GOP’s ethical descent into a bottomless pit continues as they move forward with a formal impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, even though they’ve found no evidence of any kind to support such a move. Why did they vote unanimously to carry on with the charade? Because Trump told them to. The Atlantic (Gift Article): Republicans Are Playing House. “The House can open an impeachment inquiry whenever it wants, for any reason, and the investigators could find clear evidence of wrongdoing later, but in the past an inquiry has followed from solid, existing evidence. The resolution passed yesterday doesn’t accuse Biden of any high crimes or misdemeanors. This is just playing around.” Of course, the transparently stupid political goal is to make voters see Trump and Biden as equally criminal. Sadly, similar transparently stupid efforts have been pretty effective in the past.
