A GOP lawmaker on Tuesday introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Kamala Harris over her handling of the southern border, as Republicans lay into the new Democratic presidential candidate in the days after President Joe Biden stepped down from the campaign trail.

    Every move the last couple days is showing that the republicans are terrified of a Harris battle

      They are flailing around like a blind man in a boxing ring. They are completely unprepared for this turn of events and in a freefall panic.

      I’m just a little surprised they are so unprepared and shitting their drawers. Their panic makes them look very weak and scared. It’s pretty clear the idea of someone stepping down for the good of their party or country is completely alien to Trump.

        It’s awesome, because all of their grumbling, hearings, lawsuits, etc will just push the Harris name in the media. Biden played his trump card.

        And here I was, pissed at the Democratic party for not having a transition plan after such a big fuss skipping the primary. Good thing the other side was even less prepared

        How did we get here?

        Well that and I think they know trump is absolutely incapable of focusing for more than 30 seconds.

          I saw a theory earlier that seems a little too plausible…trump is far enough down the dementia hole that he actually can’t grasp that he isn’t facing Biden any more, and that’s a big part of the panic. Their candidate can’t remember who he is running against.

            Wow, that’d be bonkers, I really think mental fitness should be on the qualifiers for running. I get once they’re in it being a fine line, but while running it’s deceptive to the American people to hide health issues.

          All that means is there’s something new to be brought every 30 seconds

          Also, 39 seconds? Feeling generous, are we?

    I’m gonna say it. I was wrong. I thought Joe could eke it out but Harris is absolutely sending the GOP into a tailspin.

    Yah, impeach her! Also I really hope those Dems stop weaponizing the legal system. So immoral. Just like Hunter Biden, they should put him in jail! The whole Biden crime family.

      Oh wait they kept saying the phrase the dems need to stop weaponizing the same system over Trump… wow what a surprise. The GOP seriously needs to die at this point.

    Back in Twenty-diggity Teens, which is how we used to call the 2010s, there was this fella who used to be a talking head for the Dept of Justice, some bald fella iff’n my memory still serves, who sweated a lot. A lot of us were on the Reddits in those days because the Kaiser hadn’t yet annexed Austria or whatever. Also, we wore a lot of flannel in those days because grunge was retro and climate change was still called global warming, bit it was still actually cold out.

    Anyway. Where was I? …Oh right! That bald fella.

    I can’t remmemer his name, but he was always so sweaty! Like a country vicar on the witness stand, he has hiding’ summat.

    What was my point? Sweaty guy… Impeachment… Something about darts and who dealt’em.

    Ah anyway. Did I tell you about that horse race in '88 with the three legged mare??

    Harris has not responded to the resolution….

    Honestly, I hope she doesn’t respond to this or other accusations. No need to waste her time or effort on bullshit.

    Watch them flail.

    They’re back to being the party of Four Seasons Lawn Care. And all it took was a better candidate.

    I’m glad Biden and the party more broadly listened. They should listen more often.

    wat? Let me get this 🐘 logic straight: Joe Biden is not fit to be president, therefore file articles of impeachment against Kamala Harris?

      It’s like when a group of dissidents from Saudi Arabia flew planes into the World Trade Center and President Cheney and also mini-Bush were like, “Let’s bomb Iraq!”

    This is just too much fun. It’s so obvious how weak and childish they are, with these silly and desperate tactics. Trump is doomed.

    They’re going to have to fit a couple more impeachments into the next four months if they want Harris to be more impeached than Trump. That’s presuming this current attempt goes anywhere, which hahahahaha!
