| BIDEN should be IMPEACHED for leading the world on the brink of WW3 , the collapse of the world economy . |
NOTES AND COMMENTS :
(1)>>Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is introducing articles of impeachment . Rules on impeaching a president are somewhat broad. Congress may vote to impeach the head of the executive branch and/or their officers if they have committed acts of “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors,” according to Article II of the U.S. Constitution. Greene alleges that Biden is abusing his power by "endangering the security of the United States and thwarting the will of Congress.""Joe Biden has deliberately compromised our national security by refusing to enforce immigration laws and secure our border, allowed approximately 6 million illegals from over 160 countries to invade our country, deprived border patrol of the necessary resources and policies sufficient to protect our country, and his administration has willfully refused to maintain operational control as required by law," she said in a statement.The first of three articles claims that Biden's decision to end the Trump administration's border policy, Title 42, resulted in an increase in "illegal aliens and illegal narcotics, including deadly fentanyl, entering the United States." The policy, which expired last week, allowed the federal government to expedite the expulsion of migrants from the country without asylum hearings to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In the impeachment article, Greene also alleges that Biden's administration "willfully violated" the law by "releasing illegal aliens into the interior of the United States."(1.2)>>Biden should be impeached for nearly ignoring the debt ceiling . Biden clearly ignored the seriousness of the debt. Now he wants to use the 14th Amendment , which I will write about in the nest note below. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Sunday said invoking the 14th Amendment to get around the debt ceiling and continue borrowing money to pay the nation’s bills would risk a “constitutional crisis,” downplaying the idea that the legal theory would solve the looming problem. “What to do if Congress fails to meet its responsibility? There are simply no good options, and the ones that you’ve listed are among the not good options,” Yellen told ABC News when asked whether the Biden Administration was considering using the 14th Amendment. She has said the U.S. could default as soon as June 1. The absolute worst solution to the standoff would be for the federal government to default: to stop paying interest on its loans, or paying for programs from Social Security to the military, sending the economy into recession and the world into a financial crisis.What we don’t know is how the bond markets will respond to Biden making the debt ceiling history, whether through a platinum coin, or invoking the 14th Amendment, or some other means.We also know how bond markets respond to actually dangerous debt ceiling standoffs, even if they ultimately result in the ceiling being increased. For one thing, threatening default upon debt incurred by your own — that is Congress’s own — already legislated current budget in order to gain leverage you don’t democratically have over next year’s budget is anything but “ordinary.” It is overtly threatening the contract rights of literally millions of innocent people, not to mention our own Constitution and prior budget legislation. And it is doing so simply to get your way when you cannot convince your congressional colleagues of the merits of your own budgetary druthers. Why is this happening behind closed doors? How can this be a Good thing, unless we trust the intelligence and integrity of those who were elected to office? (2)>>Zelensky has the goods on the Biden Crime Syndicate . Ever since Joe Biden announced he was running for President in 2019, Republicans have scrutinized his son Hunter Biden’s bouts with drug addiction and his business dealings in Ukraine and China with an eye toward weakening his dad politically. President Donald Trump’s first impeachment was tied to a phone call in which he pressured Ukraine President Vladimir Zelensky to open an investigation into the Bidens.There’s an eye-opening – and unflattering – new portrait of some of Biden’s relatives who have sought business deals trading on trust in the family name.it goes well beyond the now-familiar reporting about how Hunter Biden benefited from business deals with Ukrainian and Chinese energy companies even as he was struggling with addiction.It’s no secret that Hunter Biden’s business depended on his last name – he admitted as much in a memoir detailing his drug addiction. Hunter Biden accompanied his father on vice presidential trips to China and Mexico at the same time he was pursuing business in those countries.In addition, the business dealings of the president’s brothers, James and Francis (who goes by Frank), also raises ethical questions.So, Mr. Biden threw himself into what seemed prodding Ukraine’s leaders to tackle the rampant corruption that made their country a risky bet for international lenders — and pushing reform of Ukraine’s cronyism-ridden energy industry. As it presses ahead with providing tens of billions of more dollars in military, economic and direct financial support aid to Ukraine and encourages its allies to do the same, the Biden administration is now once again grappling with longstanding worries about Ukraine's suitability as a recipient of massive infusions of American of American dollars , while the U.S. economy is at the brink of crashing .(3)>>deliberately destroy the infrastructure base and collapse the U.S. economy... Now he flew to Japan to attend the G7 summit . They either want to blame Biden for crashing the economy, or blame him for cutting benefits for Americans.That's in addition to blaming him for the fall of Rome, the sinking of the Titanic, the Hindenburg explosion, the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Challenger disaster, 9/11...Edit: oh fuck, I forgot the Alamo! Sorry Texass. Edit 2: and New Coke was Biden's fault too! Won't someone think of the real-sugar sodas!? I don't UNDERSTAND why this G7 summit was SO IMPORTANT ,he could have delayed it , sat down with the Republicans . NOW "more than 140 leaders of the biggest U.S. companies published an open letter to the president and congressional leaders “to emphasize the potentially disastrous consequences of a failure by the federal government to meet its obligations.” They noted that when the government approached a default in 2011 under similar circumstances, the U.S. lost its AAA bond rating (which it has never regained), the stock market lost 17% of its value for more than a year, and “Moody’s reported that the heightened uncertainty from this crisis resulted in 1.2 million fewer jobs, a 0.7 percentage point higher unemployment rate, and a $180 billion smaller economy than it otherwise would have—dire impacts that occurred without an actual default.”The warning probably will go ignored as the fact the current Biden government is running around handing out as many more billions to UKR . Mr McCarty, who has kept the House in recess for the last two weeks and for a majority of the days since he and Mr Biden last met on 1 February, told reporters outside the White House that Mr Biden and both Republican and Democratic leaders had merely reiterated the positions they held when the House Speaker and the President met 97 days before.AGAIN 100 days have passed . (4)>>STEP FURTHER by USING the 14th AMENDMENT . For the benefit of those who only read the headline, Biden said:“I’m looking at the 14th Amendment as to whether or not we have the authority — I think we have the authority,” Biden told reporters at a press conference in Hiroshima, Japan. “The question is, could it be done and invoked in time that it would not be appealed, and as a consequence past the date in question and still default on the debt. That is a question that I think is unresolved.”Also:Biden added that all four congressional leaders said in a recent White House meeting that they agreed the nation would not default, signaling that he hoped talk of the 14th Amendment would ultimately not be necessary.“So I’m assuming that we mean what we say and we’ll figure out a way to not have to default,” Biden said. I would personally add to that: never assume what a lunatic will say or do. And for people not familiar with that amendment, it's the longest one so far, but here's the relevant part:The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.(5)>>Biden has gone AWOL on the U.S. Economy . How serious is the White House about reining in inflation and deficits? Biden's economy is a massive failure . With out of control inflation & military spending towards UKR hit the debt ceiling to max 3 trillion dollars ! The president’s pivot toward deficit reduction brings no actual new savings proposals. Let’s check the record. When President Biden was inaugurated, the Congressional Budget Office projected $14.5 trillion in baseline budget deficits between 2021 and 2031.Two years later, the CBO now projects $20.5 trillion in deficits over the same decade. There is nothing Biden can do without looking weak. If McCarthy wants to bring down the ship so be it, it's a Republican torpedo that will do the damage. Cutting the social programs McCarthy is asking for will only make the Democratic position seem weak against the good of the people. The debt ceiling is a political creation that is unnecessary and should be eliminated. Raising taxes on the wealthy is the best way to reduce the deficit (though I don't like a wealth tax). However, I think Yellen has a point -- there will be negative economic effects (higher borrowing costs and lower economic growth) if Biden goes this route. How bad will they be? Don't know. With careful management of government bill paying, Yellen can minimize these effects. Future fuel the Republicans will use against Biden. It's a catch 22 scenario. Since Biden is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't let the blame fall on McCarthy and his ridiculous refusal to do for the Democrats what they previously did for the Republicans.
