Trump is plotting with the GOP leadership on a Biden impeachment -- but there's a catch

According to a report from Rolling Stone, Donald Trump has been in conversations with the Republican Party leadership about the possibility of impeaching President Joe Biden after the midterm election should the GOP take one or both chambers of Congress after Tuesday's midterms.

However, as much as the former president wants to exact revenge on the man who beat him in 2020, he's also concerned about how it might play with the public and impact his own possible 2024 presidential run.

Marjorie Taylor Greene flips out with rant at 'communists and Democrat activists' who got her banned from Twitter

On January 2nd, 2022, Twitter permanently suspended the personal account of United States Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Greene) for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 and the safety of its vaccines. Greene had received multiple warnings and a temporary block from the platform's content moderators but continued to post conspiracy theories anyway, most notably that inoculations are "dangerous" and that “extremely high amounts of COVID vaccine deaths are ignored.”

Greene – who is the first Capitol Hill lawmaker whom Twitter totally banned for violating its terms of use regarding the coronavirus crisis (though she is certainly not the only one to be reprimanded) – later called Twitter "an enemy to America" that "can't handle the truth." Her congressional account has remained active, however, thanks in part to Twitter's erring away from the potential appearance of interfering with politics.

Pelosi misinformation 'came from all levels of Republican politics': report

Republicans "fed a misinformation loop" after the husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi was attacked by someone who believed far-right conspiracy theories in San Francisco.

"Within hours of the brutal attack last month on Paul Pelosi, the husband of the speaker of the House, activists and media outlets on the right began circulating groundless claims — nearly all of them sinister, and many homophobic — casting doubt on what had happened," The New York Times reported Saturday. "Some Republican officials quickly joined in, rushing to suggest that the bludgeoning of an octogenarian by a suspect obsessed with right-wing conspiracy theories was something else altogether, dismissing it as an inside job, a lover’s quarrel or worse. The misinformation came from all levels of Republican politics."

Trump will be a 'ghost Speaker of the House' blowing up GOP efforts to set the agenda: reporter

On Friday's edition of MSNBC's "All In," New York Times Magazine writer Robert Draper argued that should Republicans take control of the House next week, as most election forecasters believe to be likely, they will face an immediate problem in trying to get all of their various factions to work together.

And further complicating all of this, he added, former President Donald Trump himself will be constantly upending the conversation, assuming the mantle as de facto leader of the GOP even as current House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), expected to become speaker, attempts to set an agenda.
