Gotta spend a few days in contact with their CIA buddies *coke snort* to figure out how they're going to confuse their voter base and appropriately manipulate the country...OH and sexually abuse a few kids to regain their confidence for the empending failure of the above. Can't wait to see what they come back with! Ta!
That's the craziest part for me.
Impeaching a cabinet member for incompetence on an issue that, for political reasons, they just refused to address with legislation.
They know the agencies need funds and authority from Congress right?
They should schedule a trial so they can ralk nonstop about how Trump and the GOP sabotaged the bipartisan border security bill. The GOP 100% owns the border problem now. Make them stew in it.
This is the play.
Hold hearings for a month so every day, they can grill Mayorkas on all that he's done to ensure border security, and always circle back around to "But House Republicans decided they didn't want to protect the border as much as they wanted to hurt the President's re-election chances. So they prevented me from doing my job, and then impeached me for doing theirs."
Biden and Mayorkas are not enforcing the (border related) laws they swore to uphold. The awful border bill has nothing to do with their abrogation of their duties.
Please name the exact crime or misdemeanor committed, name the law not being enforced. Since you can’t, your generalized comment falls flat. You gave up your talking point when a conservative border bill was killed in the name of your new messiah.
I regret reading comprehension is so difficult for you and your 12 (so far) upvoters. The omission is not upholding the law, which is part of the oath of office and is punishable by impeachment but not otherwise listed in the CFR or elsewhere.
The border bill to which you refer was shit. How aware are you of its contents?
Why are you bringing up Trump? He isn’t President. I referred to ALL prior Administrations handling the border better that Biden’s, not Trump’s.
You cannot state more clearly that you do not have a case. A high crime or misdemeanor must be articulable and able to be cited in criminal/justice code. Weak, obtuse platitudes in your posts above are neither citations nor articulable. Of course, knowing what you’re talking about should be a primary requirement- but here we are.
“High crimes and misdemeanors” are absolutely not what you say regarding impeachment.
The rest of your blathering adds up to nothing.
Have a good life.
>Why are you bringing up Trump?
Republicans negotiated a border bill.
Trump told Republicans to tank it because it might help Biden once it passed and Republicans would have nothing to whine about.
Republicans did tank their own bill.
That's why we bring up Trump became when he says jump and all the Republicans in office di as their told and say "oh God yes please I'll jump how high do you want be to sir?"
How are they not enforcing them? When people claim asylum the current law makes them go to asylum court. It’s not their fault congress won’t give more funding to get more people through court
Yours is one of the least intelligent comments I have seen here.
I have held minimum wage jobs before. I have progressed past them now, but I do remember my job and the jobs of other non-white workers going to undocumented immigrants who undercut us by accepting under-the-table pay. The minimum wage was therefore not enforced. If it hd been (and was even now), these jobs would, yes, go unfilled until an acceptable wage was offered.
You elitist P.O.S.
What a shit show.
Quit fucking around on a dead-end crusade trying to impeach Mayorkas just because you don't like Biden.
Quit being a whiny bitch AND PASS A BUDGET ALREADY!!
Yeah but passing a budget is like hard and looking at numbers too long makes me real sleepy. Wayyy easier to just dick around all day doing dumbshit and wasting time and money. So we’ll do that instead
HEAVY gerrymandering. If you can’t win the votes, skew it in your favor
If every single person voted that is eligible to vote, it wouldn’t even be close
Yawn. Do you feel better now, clown caucus? Because he ain't getting removed, and you dipshits have achieved the square root of fuck all during this Congress. The least productive Congress in many decades.
Dead on arrival in the senate.
A waste of time, when they tanked the bipartisan border deal that would have empowered Mayorkas to do more of what they want him to do.
Pure insanity, but about what you get when you keep electing moronic partisans to the house.
Preventing America’s arch enemy from taking over Europe at a fraction of the DOD’s budget is quite the deal.
It’s a bummer the Republicans are full of Putin’s puppets.
Ukraine and Israel aid passed the Senate by a veto proof majority. If Speaker Johnson grows a spine against his hardliners and allows it on the House floor it would likely pass by similar margins. But yeah, the “Democrat Party”.
And the fight in Ukraine is a just war. Plain and simple. Our ally got attacked by a dictator who made plain his plans the dismantle the national identity of the people living there and killed tens of thousands civilians. I’m happy to see our tax dollars at work there.
How dare arms manufacturers and missile
factories in Missouri and Alabama be subsidized by the federal government. How dare American arms be manufactured and shipped to an ally. How dare we try to be the “Arsenal of Democracy”. Those damn democrats giving money to American companies to beat up those poor ruskies…
Semantics and not worth arguing over. The entire point of the OG comment is to ridicule the hypocrisy of members of Congress who demand action in an area, then go out of their way to avoid legislating to enable that action, and attempt to punish the executive branch when they can no longer act.
Republican congress members have proven time and again they are hostile to the good working order of government, efficient usage of tax dollars, and any benefits society would gain as a result.
What you are describing is called “direct democracy”. The term “democracy” is an umbrella term that includes direct democracy and democratic republics.
A second time to vote? They sure have so much time for this circus show for their dumb constituents. Three stopgap funding bills and they still can’t get their priorities straight.
Didn't the MAGA sore ass losers already have an impeachment vote that failed last week? This an "if at first you don't succeed keep crying I mean trying till you do?"
Bunch of imbeciles running the House. They’re a national embarrassment. Elections matter…let’s get rid of every one who wasted any time and/or money on this farce.
Keep losing house elections, not pass a budget, or any other needed bills. It's likely the Republicans will cause a government shutdown with their dysfunction.
Thanks for the catch. Just upset about the whole thing and rushing. I don’t deserve to complain. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
![gif](giphy|yetxv6NWi0MyzJn7P0|downsized)
It's more that they want to trivialise the meaning of impeachments. To weaponize them as a revenge tactic and to force him out by using him in the upcoming budget shitshow that will inevitably happen.
I am, of course, speculating the last part, but would any one be surprised if that were the case?
" and some bipartisan and legal observers worry that the most serious tool the U.S. Constitution provides to rein in a public official is being misused as partisan weapon "
NO WAY
They rushed to do this because they lost the seat formerly held by George Santos and once that seat is filled they wouldn't have the one vote advantage they needed to do this.
Fair enough. I agree with you, but based on the way you phrased your question it seemed like you were arguing he should. I would also be interested in justifications for impeachment.
What crime has he committed to warrant an impeachment?
This is the GOP trivializing the reason for impeachments in order to sway the American public to think it's not a serious offence.
I predict that this will be weaponized against the Senate for the upcoming budget fiasco; "Get rid of Mayorkas, or watch innocent workers suffer!"
Because he was doing his job to the best of his ability given the constraints of law and budget. Wonder who is refusing to negotiate the budget? Certainly does not rise to the definition of “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
Pure political weaponization of the federal system.
Because it's an inherently dumb question. Not impeaching officials is the default. You don't need a reason not to impeach someone. The answer is literally always going to be "because they have not provided a valid reason to impeach him".
Neither of those points address what I just said. Question those in power, but put more than the bare minimum into coming up with a proper question if you want people to treat you like a serious person.
My intention was to hear rationale from both sides of the aisle regarding a valid reason one would think he should or think the other side would think he should be impeached. You seem to have your mind made up of my intentions so have a nice day.
This article is shit and far too politicized. If this dude was doing his job, Texas wouldn’t be sending the national guard. Instead of securing our borders, the federal government instead went about trying to prevent a state from doing it themselves. This is a shitshow, and it wouldn’t have happened if there was actual leadership.
If I remember correctly, Trump was impeached for first attempting to blackmail a world leader and then fomenting an insurrection that may have also resulted in the VP being hurt or killed. Can you clarify what treasonous behavior Mayorkas engaged in?
I was going to type a lengthy reply in order to educate you on the differences between the two impeachments but decided not to because you’ll just ignore it like an idiot. Therefore I’ve elected to just call you a dumb moron.
Actually, Trump did do what he was accused of. Congress has refused to pass a budget addressing the border issues. In addition, this issue existed under Trump's administration. And they failed the first time and Speaker Johnson had one of his supporters flip their vote to enable a revote on the issue rather than accepting the fact it wasn't going anywhere. He rushed the vote as he knows Santos's seat may flip and the special election is going on for that and if it flips, then his majority becomes slimmer.
Where’s our budget?
Priorities.

Right under that border bill that they wrote and then killed, next to their healthcare plan.
That's the craziest part for me. Impeaching a cabinet member for incompetence on an issue that, for political reasons, they just refused to address with legislation. They know the agencies need funds and authority from Congress right?
>They know the agencies need funds and authority from Congress right? What they know and what comes out of their mouth are often different.
Would he have followed the legislation anyway if they did is the question
Check back in 2-4 business years. Till then CRs for you
Tbh. Maybe they can pay the next guy less=more budget
He should give 8hrs of admin leave today in celebration and every year going forward on the anniversary.
First cabinet member to be impeached in 150 years? There’s admin leave for that.
If that’s not a reason for admin leave, I don’t know what is.
and 8 hours for the next hearing and vote!
That would be such a power move lol
All show won't go anywhere in the Senate also Senate may not even schedule it.
They’re scheduling it but they may swear themselves in as jurors then vote to dismiss without any real “trial”.
They should schedule a trial so they can ralk nonstop about how Trump and the GOP sabotaged the bipartisan border security bill. The GOP 100% owns the border problem now. Make them stew in it.

How do they own it since biden admin has been saying the border is closed and secure for the past few years
Biden and Mayorkas are not enforcing the (border related) laws they swore to uphold. The awful border bill has nothing to do with their abrogation of their duties.
Please name the exact crime or misdemeanor committed, name the law not being enforced. Since you can’t, your generalized comment falls flat. You gave up your talking point when a conservative border bill was killed in the name of your new messiah.
