Wasting effort on grievance

House GOP is not content with all the bullshit retribution time and money they're spending instead of doing the country's work.  They're going in deeper.

The House of Representatives approved a resolution referring articles of impeachment against President Biden to two committees — slowing down a push from House conservatives to try to remove the president.

Slowing it down or going along with it?

The resolution directs the House Homeland Security and House Judiciary panels to examine any evidence of wrongdoing related to the president's immigration policies. It was approved on Thursday 219-208, along party lines.

Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., took her own leadership by surprise when she pushed forward earlier this week with a privileged resolution designed to move immediately to impeach President Biden. But that move led to pushback from within many corners of the House GOP conference who say the House still needs to develop a case through the regular committee process. Some moderates also believe House Republicans should focus on passing bills showing their party can govern instead of responding to calls from their base to go after the president.

Too bad they didn't stand up three years ago. Maybe they wouldn't be here now ineffectively whinging anonymously.

Boebert argued on the floor on Thursday that the president's failures to address issues at the Southwest border are grounds for impeachment, saying: "His actions and open borders agenda demonstrates that he has no intention of enforcing our current immigration and border security statutes on the books."

Republicans argued that the Biden administration failed to address immigration issues and was responsible for the increase in fentanyl deaths in the U.S.

[Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Jim ] McGovern cited an article from the Cato Institute, a conservative think tank, that maintained that the border is closed and Biden's policies are similar to those under former President Trump.

[Speaker Kevin McCarthy] stressed, "I don't want to do anything that disrupts [House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James] Comer's investigation or [House Judiciary Committee Chair Rep.] Jim Jordan's investigation," telling reporters the evening before the vote, adding that he believes impeachment votes could discredit those efforts.

As if those efforts have any credit to begin with.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
