She has also introduced articles of impeachment for DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas, FBI Director Chris Wray, D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, and Attorney General Merrick Garland. Before she&#8217;s through there will likely be similar resolutions for everyone from Vice-President Kamala Harris, to the White House Chef.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Republicans have completely ignored the issues that they ran on, such as anti-abortion laws, racist immigration policies, pandering to corporations and the wealthy, befouling the planet, and manufactured outrages against buzzwords like CRT, DEI, and <em>\u201cwokism.\u201d<\/em> So perhaps it&#8217;s a good thing that they are too hateful and dumb to keep their minds on matters that actually affect people&#8217;s lives for more than a nanosecond.<\/p>\n<p>As if to confirm their small-minded political hackery, Republicans held a vote on Lauren Boebert&#8217;s resolution to impeach Biden. <em>[Note: Greene, who recently <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/marjorie-taylor-greene-lauren-boebert-little-bitch_n_64937073e4b02f808ab347a3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">called Boebert a <em>&#8220;little b*tch,&#8221;<\/em><\/a><\/strong> are engaged in a bitter feud to see who can smear Biden worst and most]<\/em> They failed to proceed to a floor vote, but instead referred the matter to the Judiciary Committee.
