Imagine if ANY Democratic president did this! Republicans would be writing up impeachment articles as we speak! 😛

Representative James "eh, wut now?" Comer couldn't even get any aticles written up on Joe Biden even after trying to find anything, something incriminating for 2 years. Never even entered Comer Pyle's mind that after 5 decades in public service that if there was corruption, there would have been something more than nothing.

It seems they don't understand that there's a shit ton of people that have acutal integrity and are reliable. That they enjoy doing things to help others and doing a good job even if it means a lot of work, planning and details.

I'm glad Obama is speaking up. Do it more - we had Trump basically coaching as a civlian both Chambers of Congress which impacted the Border legislation that would have otherwise passed if Trump didn't insert himself. Same with the whole Speaker of the house being vacated - he had to insert himself there.

I get that on one hand there is 250 years of protocols and traditions, though I think at this moment in time, we need to put aside the number of fucks to give to counter this bullshit with a MAGA Congress who is complicit, derelict of their duty to the people in not impeaching Trump for his overt lawlessless and abuse of powers - not even 100 days in this term.
