I know that this will likely never happen and is just idle thinking at best, but if the GOP really does sweep the midterms and take both chambers of Congress, what do you think would happen if they decided to impeach Biden?
The odds of an impeachment actually going anywhere are very slim at best and the odds of an actual conviction in the Senate are even lower. But if the GOP takes enough seats in Congress this year, then it'd be an easy way for the GOP to pander to their base and for the more opportunistic RINO's and neocons to hedge their bets.

Failed impeachments lower approval ratings, so it'll just split MAGA and RINOs even more. Which is good. RINOs need to be buck broken at every opportunity.

Nothing. Too many Establishment cucks to hop on to an MSM news show, and say "Come on, guys. Not now. Let's benefit the American people, not divide," or some other stupid shit.
GOP can make it to 60 senators in '24. And while not all of the RINOs will be purged then, it would be better than a useless (but not sham) Impeachment blowing up in their faces.

I'm torn, because they will probably have the votes for it in the House, and nothing gets the GOP to grow a spine out of nowhere quite like the opportunity to rub Democrats' faces in the consequences of throwing away legislative norms for a short-term power grab.
But, they probably won't take the Senate to the degree to go through with it, and Kevin McCarthy's likely to be a useless fuck as the prospective Speaker of the House.

Yeah, if the GOP did try to impeach Biden in 2022, it'd very likely be just as a way to pander to the base but I'm more curious as to how a stunt like that would affect both Biden's administration as well as the populist efforts at reshaping the GOP.

The Establishment will use it as red meat—"the GOPe is actually doing something...! No." It will be a grift that results a in blow-up failure, that Pop Inc. journalists can shake their fists to, on some "Damn you, Establishment! The Secrets Behind Biden's Failed Impeachment"
Remember, 1/6 failed. However, it is the one time in recent memory the ordinary person took action against their government. "Muh populism" articles can only do so much.
MAGA/Freedom Caucus, on the other hand, will likely devote the most time and energy to the impeachment cause, only to be cockblocked and cucked by a presumptive Speaker McCarthy. McConnell will never let the Senate convict. Blah, blah, back to grift.
'24, assuming Blumpf is back on the ballot, will cause a center-red wave again, a la 2016. This impeachment goes expectantly south? Purple Splash, still leaning red though.

Anger from the country as they are seen wasting time. I think the election was stolen and that Hunter Biden was used as a bag man in Ukraine, and even I don't want to see a Biden impeachment. It would be a bunch of theater in the House before dying in the Senate. "Best" case scenario is President Kamala Harris. If they have the votes to impeach, they can override vetos and pass useful legislation instead...oh fuck, they're going to impeach, aren't they?

Maybe if you'd convince them of a war, they'd be on board.

He legitimately needs to be impeached. His mental health is seriously inept for office.

Chomo Joe and Kuckedmala aren't ever going to sign any helpful legislation put forth by the 2023-2025 GOP congress, ergo they should just impeach them multiple times for various issues: Hunter's corruption, the border, Afghanistan, vaccine mandates, abuse of Jan 6 patriots, election fraud, the list goes on. There is no indication it will backfire like Bill Clinton's did, especially if you cram them all in 2023 rather than waiting until early 2024 like Dumbshit Democrats did for Trump by doing it in late 2019/early 2020 (and even then it didn't impact much, if at all).

You mean speech impediment right ..., or has the Lame stream media finally stop using that load of bullshit yet?

The republicans need to impeach solely to make impeachment meaningless, as the Dems will now impeach every Rep president from here on out.

The Georgia runoffs will likely be a Brian Kemp win, which Mike Pence said will send a "deafening" message that the GOP is in charge. The "referendum on Donald Trump" articles have been in the can for months over Brian Kemp, if he wins or if he "wins." The 90 Donald Trump endorsements that he went like 80-10 on to include 40 or 50 wins in a row, that wasn't a referendum on Donald Trump. Its only a referendum on Donald Trump when it makes for a zesty GOP Moving On From Orange Man Bad article.
Speaking of referendums, have you noticed two conspicuous absences on the primary trail? Yeah, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Where the Hell are they and what are their endorsement win/loss records?
As near as I know, Joe Biden endorsed Walter Kurt Schrader, known as Kurt Schrader, in Oregon and Kurt Schrader lost. And that's about it.

Impeachment is only positive if it actually goes through. The ability to *officially* condemn and remove the sitting party leader of the enemy, and the head of the regime, would be cataclysmic. In hard power terms, the situation wouldn't change much, as you are replacing one variant of puppet with another. However, the moral and soft power shift to the right would be truly massive. This is because the initiative, so long held by the left, would finally be seized by the right.
A failed impeachment would be severely detrimental. To start the process, and not be able to finish it, signals impotence, disunity, and lack of foresight. Instead of red meat steak for the base, it would be fetid tripe. In other words, it would do more damage than good to pursue it without victory. After all, the theatrics around Impeachment are already seen as a farce, by both sides, and has been since the Clinton Era.
There is also no way you could get the numbers and the unity in the GOP to actually achieve the goal. Not without finishing the party purges/conversions at the federal level, and that is still years away.
It's a dead duck idea, despite how appealing it sounds.

A Jan 6th styled commission on Hunter, Biden, Hillary, or my hope Bush would be the best bet at reprisals. It has an added benefit of having case law established that will stop future kangaroo courts. As we know once republican do something the DC courts find it bad.

I don't think Mitch will move to Impeach even if he had the votes.
Yes Biden does need to be removed from office due to his failing mental capacity but from a political perspective any impeachment would just give the Dem's more fodder for their propaganda machine and help them rally and focus the party.
No, it's best to let Biden keep bumbling his way until 2024. He only makes things harder for the Proggies and replacing is nothing more then changing hats.
