Above the fold
Ten Percent of Ten Percent
The House took three weeks off to make up their minds about a new Speaker. BBR took three weeks off to give the staff some much-needed rest as well.
Wednesday the new Speaker Mike Johnson and at least 25 of his House Republican Representatives sat down for a town hall with Republican blowhard cheerleader Sean Hannity.
Sean asked them in a show of hands who would vote for, based on their knowledge to date on the influence peddling of Hunter and the Biden family, impeaching President Biden. The show of hands looked unanimous in favor of doing so.
Yesterday a copy of a 40k check made out to Joe Biden was shown again and again on fair and balanced Fox. The 2017 transfer from first brother James Biden and his wife Sara to the future president allegedly involves the same business deal in which Joe Biden was called the “big guy” and penciled in for a 10% cut. It could be and maybe will be the first proven instance of the commander-in-chief getting a piece of his family’s foreign income.
All of that while more than just Rome is burning around the globe and here at home. Would impeaching old Joe be a good idea in the political theatre while men and women are dying in theatres of war?
Maybe it would assuage those from the right still seething from one or more of the Trump “witch hunt impeachments.” But does it move the needle in 2024?
Well, it would if the House actually voted to impeach then sent it to the Senate and the Senate held an Impeachment Trial and found Prez Biden guilty of hiding some fraudulently acquired funds.
The Senate has a slim Democratic majority. In today’s polarized political climate, there is no way any Dems would break ranks and vote to abandon Joe is there?
That’s likely very accurate. An in-the-know Republican friend of BBR doubts that any Dems would break.
It’s very accurate unless you are one of those who believe that the Dems don’t really want an 81-year-old Biden to run again. After all, he seems challenged to walk much less run.
It’s actually the trap door they may be looking for if only one or two decided to make it so.
“Farfetched that is,” you naysayers say.
Pay off Kamala with a 15 million dollar book deal. She could write about Venn Diagrams. And voila!
Before your eyes appears a Newsom/Buttigieg ticket.
What are the odds in Vegas right now that we could have a second Second Gentleman in a row?
If you were Biden would you take 10% of the “10% for the big guy” and get some action now?
Or, is this another all-talk and no-action Republican-led House with a new leader making all of the above a nonstarter?
Comment section
Engage. Enrage. Enjoy.
House Republicans are a not only stupid, they lack any kind of reputation needed to bring charges against the president. It’s like asking Pee Wee Herman to do a root canal on your kid. It might be a great SNL skit but lacks what we would call “credibility”.
Any other Republican congress in the history of this country would have already had “Old Joe” starring in Weekend at Bernies part deleaux. The Freedom Caucus is such a selfish group of maniacs that not even Bruce Boche could get them to play together.
But there is a glimmer of hope. Nothing shouts optimism like the threat of war. That’s right, nothing brings a celebration like a good old fashion ass whipping.
Here’s to praying that it isn’t ours!
Fantastic first and only comment from BBR readers in three weeks. Of course comments follow content and BBR and the House have both been lacking there…
Let it flow Brother!
