I'm 100% on board with a compromise of an impeachment inquiry for a passed law funding the government. I don't think Biden did anything impeachable, but I think voters are smart enough to parse that. They didn't vote against Democrats in the Clinton midterm.
If Biden didn't do anything wrong, and he didn't, then he shouldn't be impeached, you're just enabling our abusers and letting them get away with subverting democracy with their bullshit political theater attempts, and wasting our tax money on it.
This is just more Benghazi level bullshit from the Republicans.
If the alternative is a government shutdown, I don't care about bullshit political theater. Newsflash, there will be bullshit political theater regardless.
I'm with you on this. If the cost of avoiding a shutdown were just an inquiry I'd take it; I'm worried we'll give away something more valuable. They're so inept I think the most likely outcome of an inquiry is that they embarrass themselves anyway.
It's not surrender to make a compromise. It's politics, deals have to get made. In this case it isn't even really the Democrats giving anything up since the Republicans have the power to open the impeachment inquiry without even voting on it, Pelosi did that for Trump.
