Republican efforts to impeach President Joe Biden suffered a blow after fresh evidence emerged showing his bid to remove Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin in 2015 represented U.S. government policy.

    It cant fall apart, cause it never had any structure to begin with. It was a pile of bullshit from the very beginning.

    Its all political theater to try to make Biden look as corrupt as Trump, and in desperation to find anything that will stick before the next election cycle.

      Doesn’t even need to make him look corrupt, it reinforces “impeachment is just political theater” and makes Trump’s impeachment(s) retroactively more normalized.

        It’s a trick that Republicans can only use once, because if it succeeds they’ll have tainted the idea of impeachment for a generation. They don’t care because they’re playing for all the marbles, trying to permanently cement one-party rule. Shit like this is one of the reasons why I call them the American Taliban without a trace of irony.
