House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) explained on Sunday why it was important for the House to vote on formalizing an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

Just three days later, and after Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy flip-flopped on his vow to hold a vote before launching the probe, Jordan, one of the three co-chairs of the impeachment inquiry, pulled his own 180 by telling Fox & Friends, “We don’t need that to move forward” because McCarthy’s pronouncement “gives added weight to it.”

Despite having no concrete evidence to support Republican allegations that the president was involved in any wrongdoing as it relates to his family’s business dealings, McCarthy capitulated to MAGA hardliners on Tuesday and announced he was unilaterally opening an impeachment inquiry.

    Conservatives have been making life shittier forever. LITERALLY their only core principal is to be against progress.

    Conservatives were pro-slavery. Conservatives were anti-union. Conservatives didn’t want women to vote. Conservatives wanted segregation.

    At every step in our evolution as a civilization, conservatives look at what LIBERALS did in the past and they say, “that was great, but enough is enough!”.
