'Impeachmentpalooza': Rick Wilson previews House Republicans' agenda with control of Congress

On Monday, former Republican strategist and Never Trump conservative Rick Wilsontook to Twitter to outline what House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and his allies will do with a House majority that experts widely expect them to win in this week's midterm elections.
"Washington's media culture really likes Kevin McCarthy. He's an affable, back-slapping dude. He's easy to have a beer with. He plays the role of the reasonable guy who smirks in private at the MAGA clownshow. We have it from THREE events in the last year that Kevin's pitch to major donors was 'Hey, help me get my people through the primary so we have numbers against the crazies,'" said Wilson. "But for all that private reasonableness and bonhomie, Kevin's majority ... will be majority MAGA."
And that, wrote Wilson, ultimately means that several things will happen under McCarthy's speakership — none of which are likely to do anything productive for the American people.
The first, he wrote, is "Impeachmentpalooza" of multiple Biden administration officials.
"Kevin will try to hold the line, but Trump will demand it and he'll fold in a hot minute," Wilson predicted. "Gym 'I can't hear the screaming from the locker room' Jordan will preside. Biden, Harris, Blinken, the DHS folks, et al. It's Republican Oprah: 'YOU get an imepachment and YOU get an impeachment!'" They will also hold "TWO YEARS of nonstop Hunter Biden's Laptop horsesh*t ... It will fill the MAGA disinfo channels with ever more lurid madness on which to base their 2024 campaign. Again, Trump will DEMAND it and they will execute on it."
"Fauci isn't going to enjoy retirement, because these goons are going to do an anti-vax passion play with him as the villain. 'Why did you stop us from curing the Vid with bones, faith healing, and horse dewormer?'" Wilson continued. And "Expect the DOJ, FBI, et al to come under withering attack as a way to intimidate the prosecution of Trump and the January 6th terrorists. This is the show that the many of the DC media will both-sides, and the country will suffer for it terribly," along with other investigations into any person who has ever made Trump angry.
If there is any actual "legislation" done at all, wrote Wilson, then "You should also look forward to a hundred DOA bills that are pure trolling. 'Bring Back Leaded Gas Freedom Fuels' 'Nuke The Caravans' 'Build Duh Wall 2024' and so on. They're to feed the maw of the Fox/Facebook ecosystem."
All of this comes as Democrats face additional uncertainty about how to handle a possible lame duck session, with a plethora of items potentially on the agenda from confirming judges to the defense budget to bipartisan legislation updating the Electoral Count Act.

Trump will call the shots after tomorrow. Anyone with more than half a brain knows that.
No....he won't, John.
But there will be investigations galore.
The Republicans don't need the hardcore MAGA thing - a glass of water with an R on it will beat Brandon.
This impeachment insanity has to stop. It's all about payback and payback is a waste of the people's money. Not to mention Poor Mr. Biden is in no shape for this type of stress really.
How about the hate Trump insanity we have been deluged with 24/7?
Seems like Liberals love it when they have hold of the handle, but don't want it when the other side gets control of it.....
They can dish it out, but become whiney pansies when the tables are turned....
Donald Trump is a traitor. Joe Biden is not. Spare us your whatabout ism
Spare use your sanctimonious BS. Brandon is guilty of everything Democrats tried to impeach Trump for. Throw in being an accessory to his son's money laundering and tax evasion.
Maybe you forgot that Democrats have reduced the standards of impeachment to nothing.
That insanity is on the right, not the left.
Where the hell have you been for the last 7 years. Since Trump rode down the escalator to announce his candidacy the left and Democrats lost their friggin minds, morals, and whatever little semblance they had of obeying laws.
Republicans are the ones that have lost their minds. They are being led by a man who cannot utter a sentence without including 3 or 4 lies in it.
I know I always look to rawstory and progressive grifters like Rick Wilson to find out the inside scoop of what Republicans will do.
Democrats were talking about impeaching Trump before the guy even took office, and then they found a way to make it happen - that context making the whole affair obviously partisan in nature.
So . . . Surprise! Now, the Republicans are talking about doing it right back to them. None of it is justified, but the Democrats brought this shit on themselves.
Dems opened a Pandora’s box and now are already whining when it’s applied to them.
Whiny little bitches that they are .....
Both Trump impeachments were very justified. He tried to extort the government of another country into helping him smear his main political opponent. If that is not an impeachable offense, what would be?
Do you read my comments before you reply? If you do, do you think about what you just read?
You can NOT claim that impeachments were justified, and do so with any integrity, while ignoring what I said about impeachment talk before Trump even set foot in the White House.
Perjury about a blow job?
Hiring burglars to wiretap your opponents' campaign headquarters?
Violation of the Tenure of Office Act?
Every autocratic government in the world maintains its power by protecting the corrupt and attacking the innocent. The Bannon/Orban connection has taught the GOP the intricacies and the methods.
