The Democrats in the #USSenate ended the bogus #impeachment of #AlejandroMayorkas quickly, in just a few hours, fighting off a series of Republican attempts to delay, obstruct, and use the impeachment as a platform for political grandstanding.
Congratulations to the Democrats for giving this no more time and taking it no more seriously than it deserved.
Fuck you to the Republicans who politicized—again—the impeachment process.

In bullshit news:

#House #GOP impeaches #Mayorkas by a single vote

House impeaches #DHS Secy #AlejandroMayorkas, succeeding on 2nd try, in a rebuke of #Biden’s #immigration policy. The resolution is non-binding, however, & may not go very far in the #Senate bc even some #Republicans don’t believe that Mayorkas’s actions clear the bar for the high crimes & misdemeanors necessary for conviction.

#BREAKING:

By a vote of 214-216, #Republicans have just failed to #impeach #HomelandSecurity Secretary #AlejandroMayorkas.

Well, at least one insightful fact has come out of the #impeachment hearings about #AlejandroMayorkas and his handling of #BorderSecurity. We learned that #BananaRepublican Rep. #MarkGreen from #Tennessee refers to #DonaldTrump as “#OrangeJesus.”

Over the wknd, Michael Chertoff, a #Republican fmr #homeland #security secy, came out against the #impeachment of #AlejandroMayorkas:

“Political & policy disagreements aren’t impeachable offenses. The #Constitution gives #Congress the power to impeach federal ofcls for treason, bribery & ‘other high Crimes & Misdemeanors.’ That’s a high bar. In the history of our republic, only one cabinet secretary has been impeached….”

But they're doing such a crappy job Republicans wants to impeach the head of Homeland Security.

Since they've already decided to impeach him, I suppose an actual interview was unnecessary.

Mentally ill hosts and viewers of #FoxNews ‘celebrated’ #Missouri Senator #JoshHawley ‘smoking’ #DHS Secretary #AlejandroMayorkas during questioning that was intended to pander to #FakeChristians who ‘support #Israel ‘.

Secretary Mayorkas’ mother is a #Holocaust survivor, and many members of her family were murdered by Nazis and burned in fascist ovens.

Josh Hawley wrote a book on manliness - Missouri style.
