Republicans just love to impeach. Democrats truly don’t mind when they do it because it appears that impeachment makes Democrats more popular than a popsicle in the desert.
Okay, so the latest is that they want to impeach the head of the IRS.
House Republicans filed papers Tuesday to begin impeachment proceedings against IRS Commissioner John Koskinen over the agency’s alleged campaign to revoke the tax-exempt status of tea party-affiliated groups.
Hmmmmm …. that cannot be because that didn’t happen. Besides, the current head of the IRS, John Koskinen, didn’t even work at the IRS when this happened, well didn’t happen is a better term.
But Republicans still want to impeach.
To be sure, this doesn’t come completely out of the blue. The New York Times reported last week that Republicans were considering this move, though the report added that “the specifics of any supposed impeachable offenses are vague.”
Vague? No, not vague. Nonexistent. Nonexistent is not vague at all.
God bless Rep. Elijah Cummings, y’all.
“This ridiculous resolution will demonstrate nothing but the Republican obsession with diving into investigative rabbit holes that waste tens of millions of taxpayer dollars while having absolutely no positive impact on a single American. Calling this resolution a ‘stunt’ or a ‘joke’ would be insulting to stunts and jokes.”
Anybody who wonders what the GOP has clowns running for president just ain’t awake.
Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.
