I’m NEVER gonna run out of posting on GOPer’s being stupid….
House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik and more than two dozen of her colleagues are supporting a resolution to “expunge” former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment – as pro-Trump Republicans push to rally voters ahead of the midterms.
Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., is leading the resolution, which would apply to Trump’s 2021 impeachment in the wake of the attack on the Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters. It’s similar to a previous resolution Mullin introduced on Trump’s first impeachment, which concerned him allegedly withholding military aid from Ukraine in exchange for political favors.

And although it will not pass the Democrat-controlled House, it underscores Republicans’ continued support for Trump nearly 16 months after he left office….

The resolution stands almost no change of advancing in the Democrat-controlled House. But if passed, the resolution says it would make it as if the impeachment article “had never passed the House of Representatives.”…
Update….
Lets add another GOPer to the list…..
Rep. Billy Long (R-MO) blamed abortion for gun violence in a radio interview.
Said Long: “When I was growing up in Springfield, you had one or two murders a year. Now we have two, three, four a week in Springfield, Missouri, so something has happened to our society and I go back to abortion.”
He added: “When we decided it was okay to murder kids in their mother’s wombs, life has no value to a lot of these folks.”

It won’t pass now I agree.
But when (not if) the Republicans take control of the House next year?
I wouldn’t be surprised to see it pass.
