Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) is prepping articles of impeachment against President Biden after he warned that the U.S. will stop supplying offensive weapons to Israel if its forces launch an invasion into Rafah. Mills, a first-year lawmaker, unveiled his impeachment resolution Thursday, which charges Biden with abuse of power, and he said he plans to “pursue action” Friday.

His announcement on the social platform X came less than 24 hours after Biden, during an interview with CNN, said the U.S. would withhold weapons like bombs and artillery shells from Israel if it ignores U.S. warnings to refrain from a full-scale operation in the southern Gaza city.

“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah — they haven’t gone in Rafah yet — if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities — that deal with that problem,” Biden said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to follow through despite warnings from the U.S. and other allies, arguing the move into Rafah is essential to defeating what’s left of Hamas.

Mills in his resolution accuses Biden of committing a quid pro quo, equating Biden’s handling of Rafah to the circumstances surrounding the first impeachment of former President Trump, who allegedly withheld weapons to Ukraine over demands for dirt on his political rivals.

1. Could I hate these fuckers any more?

Sorry.

They always find another level.

I’m addition:
Getting dirt on a political opponent
And preventing a bloodbath are
NOT THE SAME.

2. News Alert ‼️ Republicans threaten impeachment articles against Biden because..it's Thursday😩

[Freethinker65]

3. So Mills is forcing a bill to show Republicans that let Trump off are hypocrites?

Is Biden withholding weapons unless Israel finds dirt on Trump? Will Israel be vulnerable to losing their entire country if they don't receive the weapons?

4. Fuck these fucking sick fucks

5. Quid Pro Quo?

How? Where is the QPQ?

I think Mills might need to check his dictionary, because he doesn’t seem to understand what quid pro quo means.

8. "Republican planning impeachment articles against Biden over Israel weapons hold." On what basis?

[happy feet]

14. That they are idiots?

Who can’t distinguish between foreign policy negotiating w foreign leaders vs withholding funding if a foreign leader doesn’t launch a fake investigation against your political opponent for personal gain🤔

9. President Halts Shipment Of 'Cluster' Shells to Israel

July 19, 1982 at 8:00 p.m. Washington Post

President Reagan decided yesterday to halt a new shipment of cluster-type artillery shells to Israel while reviewing whether Israeli use of similar American-supplied cluster bombs in the invasion of Lebanon violated U.S. arms export laws and other special agreements with Israel.

Perhaps Mr. Mills should crack a history book some time, become a little bit woke.

16. I think we can find more recent examples

Like withholding aid to Ukraine because Zelenskyy wouldn't provide false testimony of TSF's most feared political opponent being a criminal in that country. Then again, that wasn'ta quid pro quo, but something far worse: Outright blackmail of a foreign country, with zero attempt to protect American interests...only those of TSF.

13. Where's the crime? Where's the misdemeanor? Impeachment is not a tool to resolve policy differences.

The GOP are fucking idiots.

15. Best way I can think of to overcome the reluctance many youth have to voting for Biden

See how voting to impeach Biden for refusing to let Israel drop 2,000 pound bombs on a million civilians in Rafah plays out in November. I dare them.
