Oddbean new post about login | logout Jamie Raskin on Kevin McCarthy‘s baseless quest to impeach Joe Biden “I can’t tell you the number of Democrats who’ve come up to me today to say, ‘Let them do the impeachment, it will be the end of the Republican Party” Adding there are hours of testimony and thousands of documents “far from proving their claims, it all disproves their claims” They don’t even know what the charges are 😂 https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/057/893/348/908/227/original/ed8bd2846621c40c.mp4
@32351832 nobody knows what the charges are!🤷♀️
@32351832 Of course the purpose of an impeachment of Biden isn't to address real misconduct by due process, it's to smear and tire and distract and create a false equivalence in the public mind between overt criminal actions and vague accusations. Proving or failing to prove claims is irrelevant to the post-truth community. Even to create wide distrust of "both sides" in government plays into the hands of corrosive populists. They shouldn't be given a fucking inch.
@32351832 Bring back this guy! https://youtu.be/iKvX-q2-ZTc?si=6noZK-AQnEeMpC19
@32351832 and the media doesn’t ever bother with it. Impeach FOR WHAT? Who cares as long as the name Biden is attached to the verb.🤷♀️
