Biden Did What He Declared an Impeachable Offense in 2019

Based on the Trump-Ukraine precedent of "withholding foreign aid already
appropriated by Congress to help with his reelection, Biden must be
impeached.

In addition to being shameful on multiple levels, Biden-- who pledged his
commitment to Israel and its self-defense was "ironclad" before doing a 180
and implementing what amounts to an arms embargo on the Jewish state--
previously said the action he just took was an impeachable offense.

In a 2019 post on X, then-candidate Biden explained that what now-President
Biden has done necessitates a formal rebuke and removal from office at the
hands of the United States Congress.

"President Trump withheld Congressionally appropriated aid to Ukraine
unless they granted him a political favor. It's the definition of quid pro
quo," Biden posted. "This is not joke-- Trump continues to put his own
personal, political interests ahead of the national interest. He must be
impeached," Biden decreed.

Swapping out only names and the country in a game of Biden Hypocrisy Mad
Libs, you get exactly what the president just shamelessly did himself:

"President Biden withheld congressionally appropriated aid to Israel unless
they granted him a political favor [allowing Hamas to survive by not
clearing the terrorists out of Rafah]. It's the definition of quid pro quo.

This is no joke-- Biden continues to put his own personal, political
interests ahead of the national interest. He must be impeached."

Whether Joe Biden should be impeached (he should, based on his and
Democrats' established standard) and whether he can be impeached and
removed are unfortunately two different things in the current Congress. A
narrow and shrinking GOP majority in the House leaves the cohesion
necessary to impeach Biden in question. Democrats in the Senate, as they
showed with their unprecedented history- and norm-shattering dismissal of
articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, won't let
Biden stand trial.

Who cares? The House should impeach Biden to prove they're committed and
able to deliver the accountability they promised at the start of the
current Congress. It's not for the shady business deals and influence
peddling for which they may have expected to impeach the president, but
it's more of the same Biden bull...you know...putting his political
survival above what's good and decent and required of him as president.
