House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy on Friday accused President
Biden of having "abdicated his responsibilities" at the southern border
and making the ongoing migrant crisis worse after the administration announced that it is lifting the Title 42 public health order.
"Today’s decision confirms that President Biden has abdicated his responsibilities at our borders and is actively working to make the
border crisis worse," McCarthy said in a statement. "From day one of
his administration, he has failed to protect our nation’s security and
to secure the border."
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on Friday announced that it will
be terminating the Title 42 public health policy, that has been used by
both the Trump and Biden administrations to quickly expel migrants at
the southern border since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, on May 23.

Biden will be impeached after the mid term elections. He has done
nothing but cause one crisis after another.

Impeachment isn't for policy disagreements. Americans know this, so
his poll numbers will improve if he is impeached.

He will be impeached for deliberately allowing 2 million illegal
immigrants to cross the border, and then flying them all across the
country so they will be hard to find and remove. Americans know this,
and also know that the policy change will allow more illegal
immigration.
It's a shame the black voters are not intelligent enough to know Biden
is hurting them the most.

meaning of that term when the Constitution was drafted? Apparently not necessarily a crime, but misbehavior, fumbling, bungling, and however congress chooses to interpret it.
Failure to enforce, and willful violation of, border "LAWS" could, and should, be a legitimate reason for impeachment. Ted Cruz has also
recommended impeachment for Bidens pathetic bungling of the
Afghanistan withdrawal, a withdrawal that violated long standing
pledges to our Afghan aides.
However, Johnny should keep in mind that if Biden is removed from

If Biden ignores a court order that says his actions are illegal, that

These people are not asylum seekers. They are criminals for entering
this country illegally. They could have asked for asylum while Trump's remain in Mexico policy was in place.
People seek asylum because of war or discrimination. The countries
these people come from are not at war, and they weren't discriminated
against because of skin color or religion.
So many people were entering this country at one time, they were being released without having a court date set.
Why did Biden rescind Trump's remain in Mexico policy?

Hmm, undermining democracy or policy difference. Could the eye of the beholder be a consideration in making that determination?
You might contend that Biden's open border policy versus Trumps wall
and far stricter immigration rules was nothing more than a policy
difference. In my eye a Democrat policy of open borders is an attempt
to flood the United States with an underclass guaranteed to support
Democrat politicians and policies -- a scheme to ultimately undermine
our constitutional democracy.

Yes. Both were for undermining democracy, not over policy differences.

to flood the United States with an underclass guaranteed to support
Democrat politicians and policies -- a scheme to ultimately undermine
our constitutional democracy.

So the US Congress (House and Senate) defines Biden's actions
(or lack thereof) on the Border to be a misdemeanor or a
violation of an existing border law, and they impeach him.
Would it be necessary for them to obtain a court approval of
the grounds for their impeachment? Lacking such approval,
might Biden stall the order of impeachment with endless
lawsuits and challenges in court?
The courts have no say. It's legal but very bad for democracy.
In any case with the shadow of a President Harris poised over
the land I doubt there would be much impeachment enthusiasm
in a Republican congress.
BTW -- I agree with you on the danger posed by endless
politically motivated impeachments -- as well as statehood
for DC and Court packing -- ideas posed by numerous
Democrats. BTW, did you oppose the impeachment of Trump?
Yes. Both were for undermining democracy, not over policy
differences.
Hmm, undermining democracy or policy difference. Could the eye
of the beholder be a consideration in making that
determination?
Blackmailing a foreign leader to announce a non-existent criminal
investigation into a political opponent is not a policy. It goes
to the heart of undermining democracy. Ditto for trying to steal

I'm OK with that.
You might contend that Biden's open border policy versus Trumps
wall and far stricter immigration rules was nothing more than a

is an attempt to flood the United States with an underclass

office and a return to normalcy from Trump. However, his
competence is in question. For example, he declared July 4, 2021
as independence day from COVID. That's a stupid thing to have
done.
Normalcy? You have to be joking. Do you really think the state
this country is in, is anywhere near normal?
We don't need a president that makes decisions based on empathy.
Trump isn't a normal functioning adult. Biden is.

Blackmailing a foreign leader to announce a non-existent
criminal investigation into a political opponent is not a
policy. It goes to the heart of undermining democracy. Ditto
for trying to steal the election (did you support Trump's
second impeachment).
I paid no attention to it. He had already lost the election, so
what was the real purpose? A lame partisan exercise?
One of the available punishments for conviction is
disqualification from future office. That would have been the
right thing to do.
I'm OK with that.
You might contend that Biden's open border policy versus
Trumps wall and far stricter immigration rules was nothing
more than a policy difference. In my eye a Democrat policy of >>>>>>>>> open borders is an attempt to flood the United States with an >>>>>>>>> underclass guaranteed to support Democrat politicians and
policies -- a scheme to ultimately undermine our
constitutional democracy.
By that logic, closed borders is a Republican scheme to
maintain partisan support.
Republicans do not support closed borders -- they (and I)
support immigration of those who present themselves at a
recognized border crossing and bring something of value -- like
a needed talent or job offer, assets sufficient to support
themselves, or familial relationships. Democrats, on the other
hand ... well you know, and so do the voters. Trumps border
policy, by the way, gave us the lowest Black unemployment on
record, for the simple reason that those border crossers take
jobs from our Black citizens. That, in and of itself, is
sufficient reason to control border crossings, but do Democrats
give a damn about that? Apparently not.
"Illegal border crossing attempts reach new high under Biden:
180,000 in May".
"The situation at the southern border has drawn little reaction
from Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris. Both have yet to
visit the 2,000-mile international boundary and have ignored
calls for more action from Republicans, as well as Democrats."
https://news.yahoo.com/illegal-border-crossing-attempts-reach-215900861.html
As for a Republican scheme, if a burglar breaks into your home
and you chase him out before he can steal your wife's jewelry,
is that a scheme to maintain your ill gotten wealth? I suppose
some members of the Left would think so -- and perhaps some
Democrat mayors and DAs already do?
But, that's garbage logic. Open or closed borders is a
policy choice. Had the Democrats impeached Trump for declaring >>>>>>>> an emergency in order to divert Pentagon funding to building
the wall, that would have been over policy and thus very
wrong. But by your logic, it would be acceptable.
It would not be acceptable by my logic, but rather by a
Constitution which (arguably unfortunately) leaves congress with >>>>>>> virtually unlimited leeway in determining grounds for
impeachment. On that you apparently agree.
You -- this thread ...
"Of course impeachment can be for whatever gets a majority in
the House to agree to."
That's the legal reality. Whether it is acceptable is a different
matter. If impeaching Biden over open borders is acceptable, then
impeaching Trump over emergency funding of the wall is too. I
think both are unacceptable even though they are legal.
I don't hold Trump, or every Republican policy, in high regard.
Can you say the same about Biden?
I've been disappointed in him. He brings a nice empathy to the
office and a return to normalcy from Trump. However, his
competence is in question. For example, he declared July 4, 2021

Trump isn't a normal functioning adult. Biden is.
You have called Trump a "man baby" for four years, and claim he is not
a normal functioning adult. Prove it.
Trump is a very intelligent person. He could stand in front of dozens
of reporters and answer their questions without any help. Biden can't,
and even with help, he still screws up.
It's very obvious Biden is not a normal functioning human being, and he
will only get worse.

Trump isn't a normal functioning adult. Biden is.
Trump is a populist with an arrogant irritating personality, however
despite that off the track personality he gave us a much needed
corporate tax cut, deregulation, a booming economy, lots of new jobs,
energy independence, strengthened the military and gave us the Space
Force, clamped down on an increasingly one sided China trade
relationship, and (to repeat) the lowest Black unemployment on record,
He controlled the border, a border that is not now controlled by VP
Harris, but rather by Mexican cartels. And lastly he poured billions
into Operation Warp Speed, a project which a former member of this
group said could not possibly succeed, but instead was an enormous
success and went a long way toward literally saving the world.
I honor Trump solely for his accomplishments, not his irritating
personality and despicable last few days in office.
Biden's accomplishments? Oh, he has several, all grossly negative.

Normalcy? You have to be joking. Do you really think the state this
country is in, is anywhere near normal?
We don't need a president that makes decisions based on empathy.
Trump isn't a normal functioning adult. Biden is.
Trump is a populist with an arrogant irritating personality, however
despite that off the track personality he gave us a much needed
corporate tax cut, deregulation, a booming economy, lots of new jobs,
energy independence, strengthened the military and gave us the Space
Force, clamped down on an increasingly one sided China trade
relationship, and (to repeat) the lowest Black unemployment on record,
He controlled the border, a border that is not now controlled by VP
Harris, but rather by Mexican cartels. And lastly he poured billions
into Operation Warp Speed, a project which a former member of this
group said could not possibly succeed, but instead was an enormous
success and went a long way toward literally saving the world.
I honor Trump solely for his accomplishments, not his irritating
personality and despicable last few days in office.
Biden's accomplishments? Oh, he has several, all grossly negative.
And yet, with the possibility of more accomplishments, you won't ever
vote for Trump again.

I honor Trump solely for his accomplishments, not his irritating
personality and despicable last few days in office.
Biden's accomplishments? Oh, he has several, all grossly negative.
And yet, with the possibility of more accomplishments, you won't ever
vote for Trump again.
His last few despicable weeks in office in no way mitigate those
accomplishments, but they do cast a shadow on possible future
behavior. Truth be known, given the choice of Trump or a fellow
traveler of the Squad, a choice I don't relish, I don't know what I
might do.
As for you, which of the Trump's "accomplishments" that I listed do
you disagree with? What has Biden done that you treasure?
A booming economy and lots of new jobs isn't a policy.
Of course it is.
The policy being restoration of US economic power
across the globe combined with a thriving US economy and employment.
The strategy that accomplished that goal was a corporate tax cut that
once again made US corporations competitive with foreign rivals,
combined with a leasing and taxing strategy that stimulated US oil
production and supplied a low cost power source to US manufacturers,
and added export income to our coffers and the pockets of our workers.
This in turn produced booming employment and the lowest Black
unemployment on record. The day Biden arrived he set out to ruin it
all -- starting with oil production.
"On day one in the Oval Office, Mr. Biden canceled the Keystone XL
pipeline, killing 11,000 U.S. jobs and limiting supply. He’s placed a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal lands, threatening
another 268,000 jobs and limiting U.S. production. The Biden
administration has suspended oil and gas leases in Alaska’s Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge. It is increasing the number of
endangered-species protections to limit oil production on private
land." https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/oct/14/editorial-bidens-energy-contradictions/
I did like
Operation Warp Speed, but otherwise his handling of the pandemic
(motivated by his not-functioning-adult desire for the whole thing to go
away) cost lives. Biden's pandemic relief and infrastructure programs
are laudable.
Laudable? Biden's pandemic relief would have gone nowhere without
Trump's Operation Warp Speed. Infrastructure programs "may" be
laudable, but please list the accomplishments -- hot air is not an accomplishment.
