I am still scratching my noggin over Republican efforts to launch an impeachment inquiry against President Biden.<\/p>\n

My curiosity comes from this simple question: What are the “high crimes and misdemeanors” that the president allegedly committed?<\/p>\n

My quick answer: There aren’t any. My more complicated examination: The GOP is paying Democrats back for impeaching their guy, Donald Trump, twice for crimes he clearly committed while sitting in the office of the presidency.<\/p>\n

Republicans want their retribution — if I can borrow that term from Trumps’ own glossary.<\/p>\n

Trump infamously got Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the phone and asked him for a political favor in exchange for weaponry to use against a possible Russian invasion. Trump wanted Zelenskyy to dig up dirt on Joe Biden. The Constitution forbids such a thing. So, the House impeached Trump,<\/p>\n

Then came the 1\/6 assault on our government by the traitorous mob that acted at the behest of Trump. The House impeached him a second time.<\/p>\n

You know how those impeachments turned out.<\/p>\n

So now the House is pondering an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. It is looking for something, anything, to hang on Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

Oh, is this where I mention that the president is seeking re-election in 2024? Is there any correlation between that and this phony impeachment inquiry? Looks like it to me.<\/p>\n

One of the GOP zealots happens to be the Republican who represents the Third Congressional District in North Texas, Keith Self. He told a Farmersville gathering this week that he wants an inquiry but didn’t specify the charges that should be examined.<\/p>\n

An impeachment inquiry against a president who has spent his entire professional life in public service looks like an exercise in revenge.<\/em> This is what we get when we send zealous ideologues — rather than dedicated public servants — to Congress.<\/p>\n\n
