If You Can't Win Legally... Cheat

Have you noticed that the Republicans are on an impeachment kick? They don’t like they way the voters voted so them impeach them.

Impeachments and forced removals from office emerge as partisan weapons in the states
Impeachments are supposed to be for crimes committed in office while recalls are intended to remove elected officials suspected of corruption or gross negligence

Republicans in Wisconsin are threatening to impeach a recently elected state Supreme Court justice and raised the possibility of doing the same to the state’s election director.

A Georgia Republican called for impeaching the Fulton County prosecutor who brought racketeering charges against former President Donald Trump. Republicans in the Pennsylvania House have already impeached the top prosecutor in Philadelphia.

None of the targets met the bar traditionally set for impeachment — credible allegations of committing a crime while in office. Their offense: staking out positions legislative Republicans didn’t like.

As Republicans in Congress begin their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, the process is calling attention to the increasing use of impeachment in the states as a partisan political weapon rather than as a step of last resort for officeholders believed to have committed a serious offense.

They do it for media coverage, they do it for power.

“If voters cannot go to the voting booth and cast their ballot without the fear of an election being vacated and their vote being rendered null and void, what’s the point of having elections in the first place?” said Melissa Agard, a Democrat who is the Senate minority leader in Wisconsin. “This is the fundamental promise of our nation.”

This whole thing about gerrymandering, limiting voting hours, requiring voter ID for supposed voter fraud is all about disenfranchising the voter. Suppressing their vote. They want to create a one party system.

“Since the founding of our state in 1848, no state Legislature has even introduced articles of impeachment in order to nullify a vote by the people of Wisconsin to gain partisan advantage,” the state's Democratic Party chair, Ben Wikler, said last month. “It’s a thought that for most of our state’s history has been unthinkable.”

They are also attacking their own for not following the party’s agenda.

A Republican lawmaker, state Sen. Colton Moore, was suspended from the GOP Senate Caucus because of his stance and public comments against his fellow Republicans who had followed Kemp’s lead. Their statement said Moore's persistent attacks against them for not agreeing to the impeachment was “causing unnecessary tension and hostility.”

It is our way or the highway!

Down in Florida, DeSantis replaced publicly elected offices because he didn’t like what they were doing. It is the MAGA way or the highway. You bow to our “Great” cult leader and kiss his shoes or he will not endorse your candidacy. You will kowtow the party line or you are out on the street! Just look at what they did to Rep. Liz Cheney for sitting on the House committee that was investigating Trump.

The Republicans have shown that they will lie, cheat, and impeach to stay in power.
