I don't know what to say about this jarbled mess of a video.
To start with, Tim is bragging about how McConnell got booed. But then he sees that a bunch of people who are booing are waving Andy Beshear signs. He says that these people are Democrats, but then says the story is still important because Republicans agree with him, but "Republicans aren't going to vote for Andy Beshear".
This is absolutely incorrect, Andy Beshear is the most popular Democratic governor in the country, and he has 38% approval rating among Republicans in his state. There are plenty of Republicans in Kentucky who think McConnell should retire and will also vote Beshear, Tim just doesn't understand anything other than pure partisanship.
Then he talks about the PredictIt market and says Vivek is second "as of this video", while admitting it's been back and forth.
For starters, it does not matter who is in second place when the person in first has over 50% of the vote. Secondly, PredictIt is subject to market manipulation. Tim could be affecting the price or demand of this stock just by talking about it constantly, or by spending his own money and buying up a bunch of shares to make other people think it's valuable and accepting higher prices. It's not like this private website is being monitored by the SEC.
Then he goes into this bizarre fanfiction about Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom at an event together, Joe Biden collapses and Gavin Newsom comes out and gives him CPR, then Joe Biden bows out and endorses Newsom. And it's not just a one-of statement, he's giving five minutes of descriptive detail about this fantasy that is not based in reality, never happened and never will happen.
Then he mocks the idea of DeSantis debating Newsom, saying "why is Newsom, a guy who's not running, debating DeSantis who is in thi- well, in the polls he's in second but in the PredictIt market...right now...he's in third, back and forth."
Absolutely weird behavior. Tim is contradicting himself constantly, backing up and correcting himself over and over, it's like he's arguing with his own talking points for 20 minutes.
But to answer the serious topic of the video: should Republicans impeach Joe Biden:
no.
Tim gets frustrated, he says "the Republicans care more about the opinion of the New York Times than their own voters, they just worry about looking bad! They can't let the Democrats do things and then not do them back!"
If it is wrong when the Democrats do it, then it is wrong for us to do it. The problem is that impeaching someone when you have zero chance of actually removing the president from power because the Senate is controlled by the opposition is a giant waste of taxpayer time and money. And I was willing to give Tim the benefit of the doubt but he actually SAID: "I want them to spend 50 million dollars on an investigation into this".
An investigation that will do literally nothing. He wants us, as the party of limited government and fiscal responsibility, to spend 50 million dollars on a temper tantrum. A petty, vindictive cry fest for the whole world to see. And then he says we are at fault for not supporting this, when again, an investigation accomplishes absolutely nothing if it is not voted on for removal. But yeah, let's waste even more tax money when we're elbow deep in a recession. Fuck it, why not stop until we hit full Global Depression? That's where we're going anyway, might as well speed it up!
