this will go nowhere

Two tries at impeachment for Donald Trump ended up crashing and burning. The same will be true for Joe Biden, Matthew Graves, Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, and Alejandro Mayorkas—all up for impeachment. Will this get past the Dem-dominated US Senate? Of course not. Remember how this works as we saw it twice with Trump: the House can only draw up articles of impeachment; it's up to the Senate to conduct the hearings, find guilt, and take action. Of course the Senate won't find any of these chumps guilty. This is a useless, pro forma gesture by the GOP that gives the illusion of brave action... and maybe on some level, people like Marjorie Taylor Greene* (who's spearheading the impeachments) ought to be praised for at least trying. But as far as I'm concerned, it's too little, too late, and this will amount to less than nothing. The GOP ought to spend its time and our money more wisely on things that matter, and on things that can actually be changed.

The usual Deep Thinkers are saying that Greene's move to impeach is less about actually shoving Biden out of office than it is about making Biden even less palatable as a 2024 presidential candidate. But this strategy presumes that the left has any sense of shame. It doesn't. An impeached Biden is still a perfectly viable candidate. Here in Korea, when President Park Geun-hye was impeached, she had to recuse herself from her presidential duties. Trump didn't have to do this, and neither did Sir Bill Clinton of the Stained Skirt. This is one of those rare times when I think Korean law might be the superior law: Biden ought to step down from the Oval Office. But it won't happen. Do I sound black-pilled?**

*The Wikipedia article about Greene, a US Representative from Georgia, is hilariously negative and thoroughly biased, but that said, I've never been a fan of her loudmouth style. She would have the gumption to do what fellow GOPers don't have the balls to do, namely, to bring articles of impeachment against Biden. In that sense, she's like the mouthy girl in class who's dumb, but who asks the question that other students are too afraid to ask. I'm sure her fellow GOP congressmen are silently breathing a sigh of relief that they didn't impeach Biden.

**For you old, out-of-touch blog readers: being black-pilled is a riff off the original red/blue pill dichotomy presented in 1999's "The Matrix": if you're red-pilled, you now see reality for what it is, in all its ugliness; if you're blue-pilled, you're fine living in your delusion and content to ignore what's really going on. If you're white-pilled, you see nothing but optimistic outcomes, and if you're black-pilled, you're a confirmed pessimist and cynic about the future.
