    We have problems with: affordable housing, healthcare costs, college costs, a rampant threat of literal white extremist terrorism, a disappearing middle-class, and millions of children who go hungry every day.

    This is the bullshit the conspiracy theory loving Republicans do instead of actually, you know, governing.

    They have zero ideas, zero morals, and zero concept of hypocrisy. What a waste of time these 2 years in the republican run House has been.

      This is mostly about normalizing “impeachment” so that Trump’s two impeachments don’t look as bad. This is a classic Republican tactic: when your guy gets caught doing “thing” start slinging “thing” around at your enemies until it loses all meaning.

      Similar tactic to co-opting “fake news”, “woke”, “feminism”, and “critical race theory”. All were terms that threatened to undermine the conservative ideology, and so were quickly hurled around as insults until their original meaning was completely distorted.

      Not just republicans, conservatives world wide have no relevant policies and have to resort to populist fear mongering to stay relevant. Look at England, Canada, Germany, Italy and RuZZia, they have nothing to offer but discrimination and ostracism.

      Power and control is all the global Right wing want, the sooner we accept and understand that the better off we’ll be when dealing with them.

      I’m wildly in favor of anything Republicans do that’s a waste of time, because most of what they do is so much worse than that.

      Republicans actually want people to suffer. They love it, it shows that they’re winning. The more misery in the world, the closer it is to their ideal.
