Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Beau again.
So today, we're going to talk a little bit
about the dreams of Republicans
in the US House of Representatives
and how Republicans in the United States Senate
have decided that those dreams may not really be meant to be.
Republicans in the House have used
a lot of inflammatory rhetoric.
They have talked about
how the current president is breaking the law and doing all of these horrible things.
That has given rise to a push to impeach the current president, which leads House Republicans
to believe that now is the time to impeach Biden or somebody who works for him, somebody
he appointed, somebody.
They have to hold somebody accountable.
They have to create a scandal, a story.
They have to do something to appease their base, who, because of their rhetoric, are
now calling for accountability for something.
Republicans in the Senate have a little bit of a different idea.
Here are some quotes for you.
I don't know.
This seems like an extremely partisan exercise.
minority whip John Thune said, I'd rather focus on policy agenda. The National
Republican Senatorial Committee chair said that, well, he hasn't, quote, seen
any evidence that would rise to an impeachable offense. It does not appear
that Republicans in the Senate are willing to play ball. It does not appear
that they are willing to politicize the impeachment process to the degree that
House Republicans seem to be very eager to do. And again that has a lot to do
with how those running in the Senate, well they're running in statewide races.
They're not catering to a very small, very red district. They have to appeal
everybody if they want to keep their seat. And it seems that their energy to
push for the things that the far-right MAGA Republicans really want, well it's
just not there. They don't have any interest in trying to court that extreme
base. They're trying to reach towards center. This puts the far-right Republicans
in the House in a very difficult position. If they move forward, they will
certainly lose in the Senate. Not just will they fail in their endeavors and
promises to impeach somebody, they also put members of their party in the Senate
at risk for not voting to convict on a trial that, as of this point, we're still
not sure exactly what the impeachable offense would be. The Senate doesn't want
it politicized at this level. They have no interest in playing ball, but this is
the cost of the far-right rhetoric and it is alienating not just the Senator and
the Center voters, it is alienating the Senators. Anyway, it's just a thought.
Y'all have a good day.
