I got notes from several of y’all about Iowa’s Senator Joni Ernst promising to impeach Joe Biden if he’s elected president.

Obviously, the senate can’t impeach anybody, only the House can do that, but nobody told Joni.

Well, she’s re-thought that.

Sen.Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) on Monday walked back her comments a day earlier warning that Congress could immediately impeach Democrat Joe Biden over his Ukraine dealings if he’s elected president in November.  

Speaking with reporters just off the Senate floor, Ernst said her weekend remarks were overblown and that she was trying to argue that Democrats have made impeachment — once a political tool reserved for extreme circumstances — the new normal in today’s partisan warfare.

Ya know, I suspect her remarks were “overblown” because they are incredibility dumb, and secondly because they really did sound like a threat.

Ernst also “spilled the beans” about the real purpose of the Republicans going after Biden – to lower his vote in Iowa.  So, there may be one person in Washington dumber than Trump.
