McConnell: Biden 'is not going to be removed from office'
Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) on Wednesday shot down calls from within his own party to try to impeach President Biden, pointing to next year's midterm election as a potential check on the administration.

"Well, look, the president is not going to be removed from office. There's a Democratic House, a narrowly Democratic Senate. That's not going to happen," McConnell said at an event in Kentucky, asked if Biden's handling of the drawdown in Afghanistan merits impeachment and if he would support it.

"There isn't going to be an impeachment," he added.

McConnell's comments come as some Republicans in the House and Senate call for Biden's impeachment or for him to resign or be involuntarily removed from office over the botched Afghanistan exit.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said last week that he thought Biden should be impeached. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who chairs the Senate GOP campaign arm, questioned if it was time to invoke the 25th Amendment, which allows the majority of the Cabinet or a body appointed by the Congress to remove a president.

"The report card you get is every two years," McConnell said. "I think the way these behaviors get adjusted in this country is at the ballot box."

Freedom Caucus chair asks McCarthy to boot Cheney, Kinzinger from GOP conference
In a draft letter dated Sept. 2, Biggs asks McCarthy consider a change to conference rules that would “immediately” remove members if they accept a committee assignment without a recommendation from the party.

“Congresswoman Cheney and Congressman Kinzinger are two spies for the Democrats that we currently invite to the meetings, despite our inability to trust them,” reads the letter which was shared with The Hill.

The letter first was reported by CNN.

The letter isn’t the first time conservatives have sought to punish the two Republicans for serving on the panel. The two lawmakers were the only Republicans to vote in favor of forming the committee.

In late July, Biggs sought to exile the Cheney and Kinzinger behind closed door for joining the panel.

But the letter comes as the committee ramps up its investigation into the events of Jan. 6. Over the past week, the panel has sought records from the Trump administration, and 35 telecommunications and social media companies.

In his letter, Biggs said the weekly conference meetings are a chance for Republicans to plan their defense against Pelosi.

“We cannot trust these Members to sit in our Republican Conference meetings while we plan our defense against the Democrats,” Biggs writes.

Maura Gillespie, a spokesperson for Kinzinger, told The Hill in a statement “the American people deserve answers surrounding January 6th, and the non-partisan Select Committee to Investigate the Attack on the US Capitol is committed to uncovering the full truth and making those facts public.”

“When a Member makes repeated calls to remove Representatives Kinzinger and Cheney from the Conference, it certainly calls into question their true motives. Especially when that Member pushes conspiracy theories to their constituents and outright lies for their own personal gain,” Gillespie said.

Cheney should be railroading that insurrectionist MAGA out of elected office. This is so backward.

Cheney should be railroading that insurrectionist MAGA out of elected office. This is so backward.

I love how Nancy played McCarthy on all of this. She knew he would pick Gym Jordan for the committee and knew that McCarthy would pull everyone if she refused him. She also knew Kinzinger and Cheney would accept and make the committee bipartisan.

We’ll played, Nancy. We’ll played.

Trump reportedly 'f---ing hates' Ron DeSantis
( Who cares ? ….. We hate fucking hate both of you anyways )

As former President Donald Trump possibly eyes a 2024 run, a new report suggests there's one other potential contender whose popularity he really "resents": Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

A report from Vanity Fair this week delves into how various Republicans are "testing the waters" for the 2024 presidential primaries in case Trump doesn't decide to seek the GOP nomination, and among the likely contenders in that scenario would be DeSantis. But the report describes the fact that the Florida governor's "biggest challenge" may be his "fraught relationship" with the 45th president.

"Trump f---ing hates DeSantis," a Trump confidant told Vanity Fair. "He just resents his popularity."

Rudy Giuliani Gets Pranked On Cameo, And It's A Doozy …

Who didn’t see that coming

Rudy Giuliani got pranked again ― but at least he wasn’t caught with his hand down his pants.

The former Donald Trump attorney apparently got tricked into praising a group that has investigated an energy firm founded by one of his clients.

New York magazine’s Intelligencer on Wednesday posted a Cameo video (watch it below) of Giuliani happily rattling off the first names of journalists and activists, including Reuters’ Angus Berwick and human rights advocate Thor Halvorssen, who have reported negatively on Derwick Associates. Derwick is run by Alejandro Betancourt, whom Giuliani reportedly represented in an effort to persuade the Justice Department to drop its bribery and money-laundering investigation into the businessman.

“This is Rudy Giuliani, and the message they want me to deliver is: The employees and the field staff of Derwick Associates want to thank you for your honesty and devotion, that you have fought for them for years and that — um — you’re very, very exceptionally dedicated.”

Giuliani just weeks ago joined the Cameo service, in which people can pay celebrities to say “happy birthday” and other greetings. And it looks like he’s already being made a fool.

This is a follow up to a story of dipshit parents threatening “ citizen arrests “ at school office. The Fat BlimpFuck with zip ties garnered the interest of law enforcement and got his ass arrested.

Antivax Assholes ….



An angry Arizona father who barged into his elementary school kid's principal's office to protest a mask requirement has been arrested.

Rishi Rambaran, 40, stormed into Principal Diane Vargo's office on Thursday with zip-tie handcuffs, according to a since-removed Instagram video. He and two friends accompanying him claimed the school broke the law when administrative officials told his kid to wear a mask and quarantine after potential exposure to COVID-19.

Rambaran has since been arrested, the Daily Beast reported. "I can tell you the end result of that incident was we did make one arrest for trespassing," said Sgt. Richard Gradillas of the Tucson Police Department, which did not immediately return Insider's request for comment.

Kelly Walker, one of the men who backed up Rambaran, shared a video to Instagram that appeared to show him driving to the school.


"I'm headed to Mesquite Elementary School right now, where a friend just notified me and some others that his son was indiscriminately taken to the office to be quarantined because supposedly someone had decided he but not other kids in this classroom were exposed to COVID," he said.

"And they shoved a mask on his face, wouldn't let him call his parents, and now his dad is there," he continued. "The school is blatantly breaking the law, blatantly going against the will of the people. I think this community has expressed that they're not going to have this kind of bullying of our kids, these kinds of scare tactics."

Rambaran's child and others had been isolated from peers in a school office because of the potential COVID-19 exposure. Mesquite Elementary learned of a confirmed COVID-19 case and gave the name of Rambaran's child and others who were potentially exposed to the Pima County Health Department, according to the Daily Beast.

Once the three men convened at the school to protest the move, they entered Vargo's office and confronted her, asking her to release the children back into the classroom. Rambaran called the police and asked them to arrest her, the Beast reported. Vargo then asked the three to vacate her office and leave the school building. Neither man complied until Vargo called the police.

Two hours later, the police arrested Rambaran, and Gradillas told the Beast more arrests "could be made."

Mesquite Elementary, the school that Rambaran and the two other men ambushed, did not immediately return Insider's request for comment.
