2 hours and Faux Noise hasn't mentioned this action, but they've spent most of the broadcast talking about the Titanic sub.

You would think they would at least mention it, but it's clear Faux Noise has gone woke

They don't want the FBI to raid their bank accounts for the pay-offs.

I;m not sure you understand what this did. It sent it BACK to the committee where it's always been. That means the vote was to do nothing.

House Republicans move Biden impeachment forward as hard-right clamors for action

The ability of single lawmaker, Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., to push forward the impeachment resolution caught Republicans off guard by the unscripted move this week. Many viewed it as a political distraction from other priorities.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Eager to impeach President Joe Biden, hard-right House Republicans forced a vote Thursday that sent the matter to congressional committees in a clear demonstration of the challenge that Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces in controlling the majority party.
The ability of single lawmaker, Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., to push forward the impeachment resolution caught Republicans off guard by the unscripted move this week. Many viewed it as a political distraction from other priorities.
The measure charges Biden with “high crimes and misdemeanors” over his handling of the U.S. border with Mexico.
Boebert, backed by her allies, showed how a lone lawmaker in the 435-member House could use the chamber’s rules to force a snap vote on such a grave constitutional matter. The 219-208 party-line vote sent impeachment to committees for possible consideration, like any other bill.
“The House is taking historic action,” Boebert said during the debate, though committees are under no obligation to act.
The dayslong episode underscores the hold that the House conservative flank exerts over McCarthy, forcing him to accommodate hard-right priorities if he wants to stay in power. It also reinforces, if not rewards, a small band of Republicans to employ rare tactics to exert power over his majority.
Conservatives are gearing up for more such actions: The process Boebert used to force the issue is the same method another hard-right conservative, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., dispatched Wednesday to force a separate vote to censure Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff over his investigations into Donald Trump’s ties to Russia.
“There’s going to be no end to this,” Schiff told The Associated Press and others amid the censure vote Wednesday at the Capitol.
“Kevin McCarthy has no control over his conference,” Schiff said. ”The race to the extreme is now running the House of Representatives and of course it’s doing terrible damage to the institution.”

During Thursday’s debate, Republicans were admonished multiple times to tone down their remarks.
Democrats argued that the case against Biden made a mockery of the seriousness of impeachment, and merely an attempt to distract from the twice-impeached Donald Trump, the former GOP president now indicted for hording classified documents under the Espionage Act.
“Today they’re dishonoring this House and dishonoring themselves by bringing to the floor this ridiculous impeachment referral resolution,” said Massachusetts Rep. Jim McGovern, the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee, suggesting Trump put his allies up to it.
“This body has become a place where extreme, outlandish and nutty issues get debated passionately, and important ones not at all,” McGovern said. “In short, the Republican Party is a joke.”
The vote capped days of maneuvering by McCarthy to quell the uprising within his party over a roll call that many did not to take.

No, it was a forced floor vote to send it to the committees.

Shhhh. Let the ignorant think it is a great victory.

This first push — led by firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), against the wishes of Speaker Kevin McCarthy — fizzled out almost as quickly as it accelerated. All Republicans, including Boebert herself, voted to refer Biden impeachment back to GOP-led committees that are already investigating the president.

Where exactly do you think this came from? The committee's.

The only place it's been is in the rules committee.

This might help flesh it out some for ya.

Basically they can slow-roll it till more evidence is built and spring it at any time.

I think they should wait until Comer finishes investigating the banks’ SARS and the fake LLCs. Right now, he’s discovered $10 million in laundered money going from foreign nationals to Biden family members via the shell companies; let him keep going.

punting on an impeachment vote that may have been politically difficult for some Republicans.

Does anyone really expect the spineless simps of the GOP leadership to actually hold Biden accountable for his outrageous corruption?

Be prepared to hear "it's not the right time" for another 2 years

LOL....Sounds like the same shit you always heard from the NRA.

The only reason Fox keeps that fat-fuck around is because he hates Trump and always has.

Baier was literally defending Biden's document scandal at every turn.

You sometimes have to punt to set your opponent back....Boebert approved of the punt.
