    Brutal St. Louis newspaper editorial pleads with Dems to save the country from GOP House 'toddlers'

    According to the editorial board of the St. Louis Post Dispatch, the current Democratic majority on the House has a duty to wrap up as much business as it can before the Republicans take over in January with their slim majority planning on launching multiple investigations of the Joe Biden administration instead of dealing with the country's needs.


    In a word, the editors referred to the House Republicans under possible House Speaker Kevin McCarthy as "toddlers" who will require constant supervision.

    Getting right to the point, the editors wrote, "Just as it’s a good idea to child-proof a home before having toddlers over for a birthday party, congressional Democrats should be doing what they can during the current lame-duck session to prepare for the incoming Republican House majority — a crowd that has literally announced its intention to threaten America’s fiscal stability, block election reforms and abandon Ukraine."

    Case in point, they wrote, are plans by Republicans to create chaos by using the debt ceiling as a "tool" to get their way.

  6. Eating too many ice cream cones. Seriously, the first impeachment of Trump backfired and Democrats lost back a lot of seats in 2020. If Republicans impeach Biden with no evidence of personal corruption they will only harm their chances in 2024. Swing voters aren't interested in revenge politics.

    This is kinda why I was asking. If the only reason to go after Biden is because Democrats were stupid enough to try it with Trump, then that doesn't solve anything. But if there is an investigation that proves a crime, then sure - that's what the impeachment tool is for. However, I suspect its more of the former.

    I'm not aware of any investigation indictment of Biden. I'm aware of a shit-ton of allegations but that's not the same thing. Everyone is entitled to due process.

    Impeachment is due process.

    It can be. But I think we'd both agree Trump didn't get due process when the democrats went nuts over it.

    What is the crime we'd be going after Biden for?
