    The unfortunate thing is this won’t go anywhere. There’s no real chance of impeachment until 2027. The Qatari jet is generating murmurs in the GOP, but it’ll take a while to fully tank the economy.

    Which he’ll blame on someone else, so he’ll retain his core base. But at a certain point, the pitchforks and midterms come out.

    Comparing what this congressman is doing to what Marjorie Taylor Greene did during Biden’s presidency strikes me as a false equivalency and throws the entire angle of this article into question. While I agree that trying to file articles of impeachment at this point is not productive, it would have been the correct thing to do pre-2016.
