What in the hell were these 4 republicans thinking? This country has gone to hell, Mayorkas should be impeached asap .

 

[850guns]

Maybe it's a long play.
Let Sec. M. fail even worse.
Till the border is overrun.
Then vote again with bipartisan support.?.

The fourth Republican (Rep. Blake Moore (R-UT)) changed his vote to allow the House Republicans to have another chance to pass impeachment. The first three are retiring from congress at the end of term or so they have said in the last few weeks.

After weeks of threatening to put the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas up for a vote over his handling of border security, House Republicans made good on that promise Tuesday — and promptly failed to muster enough votes to pull it off.

The impeachment resolution failed 214-216, with four Republicans joining all 212 Democrats in rejecting the measure. They were:

• Rep. Tom McClintock of California
• Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado
• Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin
• Rep. Blake Moore of Utah

Despicable. The dems must be peeing in their pants with laughter.

Nothing new. They owed favors. Like the Republicans with blue ties. I like the idea of forehead branding so they remember what gang they are in.

Saw reports that McConnell said that the immigration/foreign aid bill is "dead".

I sure hope so

Have you seen some of the provisions in the bill that Lankford negotiated?

5000 per day!
assylum seekers at 30 ports of entry not counted!
unaccompanied minors not counted!
president can suspend numbers!

Bring back House HR2

I hope not... but soon good people are going to start doing bad things...

Not doing the job you sworn an oath to up hold the Constitution is not "high crimes and misdemeanors"? His allegiance is to the country not fjb

The vote was 214-216. Lawmakers voted on a resolution combining two articles of impeachment that accused Mayorkas of having "refused to comply with Federal immigration laws" and the other of having violated "public trust."

Those who voted no were Reps. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., Ken Buck, R-Colo., and Mike Gallagher, R-Wis. The lawmakers said while they disapproved of the job Mayorkas is doing at the southern border, the threshold for impeachment had not been met, and warned it could be used against future Republican administrations. I say a big BS for their given reason.
could is the operative word in the reasoning. Could is not a sure thing is it?

Not sure it would have mattered... who would be the replacement?

Most likely a temporary underling ,a thankless job with elections upcoming and you might get fired in 10 months

RINO’s make me sick.

 

[Carl]

Maybe 4 republicans are tired of winning? Or maybe AIPAC greased their palms hmm? The way he invoked the holocaust as a defense was typical and pathetic.

I've become desensitized. Now that I've lowered my expectations, they rarely disappoint.

Don't you become disgusted when lack of unity causes a loss? It's not necessary to win every time, but the easy ones?

Nah. Not sayin' I don't notice, but I've pushed past the point where I'll allow emotion to rule my life. Maybe I've been pushed past the point. Either way, clarity.

Elitist, self-serving politicians, part of the status quo. Republicans/Democrats, two wings on the same bird.
