[RIA] The US Congress has begun the procedure to remove President Joe Biden from power - now officially. Congressmen were in no hurry: three years have passed since the New York Post, owned by the conservative Karabas-Barabas - Rupert Murdoch, published correspondence from Hunter Biden's laptop. For three years now, anyone in our world who might be interested has known that Biden Sr. is called “the big guy” and that the “big guy” is owed ten percent of the deals of his son, whose business is peddling his father’s influence.
Since then, additional figures have been revealed (tens of millions of dollars through dozens of shell companies), but not the substantive details. The scandal did not prevent Biden from being elected president, and the investigation into his son’s case was so bad that the liberal US media (and this is all the major media, with the exception of those included in the Murdoch empire) successfully managed to hush it up, citing the machinations of Russian intelligence.

It is difficult to make a complaint against those who believed the blatant lies about Russian intelligence. Hunter Biden's laptop is an artifact of such value and significance that in a movie, half the world would be hunting for it. But Biden Jr. left his computer at a repair shop due to drug-induced absent-mindedness. Who would believe such a thing?
But this time the banality really won. Just one forgetful drug addict brought the bribe-taking father to collapse. And his father is the President of the United States of America.
In general, the Biden case strongly resembles the case of the burning of the Temple of Artemis by Herostratus - it is also quite ancient, and the perpetrator was also known from the beginning, only his name was ordered to be forgotten. But even now, after three years of behind-the-scenes trading, negotiations, intrigue and blackmail, Biden Sr. is officially charged not with bribes, but only with the fact that he lied, as if he knew nothing about the transactions of his unlucky son.
Now we are also waiting for a long and probably dreary parliamentary investigation, as a result of which the lower house of parliament will impeach the president, and the upper house, where at least 67 votes out of 100 are needed for a guilty verdict, will acquit Biden. Finita la comedy.
This is the basic scenario for the development of events. But there is a sense that Biden's long political career has indeed come to an end. In the best case scenario for the president, he will be forced to voluntarily abandon the fight for re-election, and at the beginning of 2025 the head of state will change in the United States.
Yes, formally Biden has a good chance of getting away with it. But now that things have finally come to impeachment, it seems unthinkable that the elite of the ruling Democratic Party are ready to take such a risk and again bet on “old Joe.”
In US history, there was only one (but well-known) case when a president was forced to leave early through the impeachment procedure - the resignation of Richard Nixon. The Watergate porridge also simmered for a long time: when the scandal with the wiretapping of a competitor was already burning, Nixon was triumphantly (with victory in 49 out of 50 states) re-elected president and only a year and a half after that he was forced to abdicate power in exchange for a pardon from the new President Ford.
Nixon's main problem is that he lied, denying his participation in obstructing the investigation. Just like Biden lied when he talked about non-interference in his son’s business. Against the background of other details, this seems like nonsense, but it was enough to change power in a superpower.
The difference between them is that Nixon was an active, successful and popular president, and Biden is his complete opposite in all of this.
Watergate subsequently turned into a conspiracy against the president by the FBI and CIA , who successfully manipulated the press. Nixon irritated with his influence, interfered in many things, interfered with many, which turned influential people in his own party against him. Biden is disliked by his people, like a burden that pulls everyone to the bottom - he is also a big hindrance, just in a different way. Only he doesn’t have Nixon’s strengths and—it’s time to admit it—he has no chance of re-election. Even before the elections, he risks collapsing - mentally and physically, and with him the entire project of the Democrats to retain power.
Those who are “insiders” for Biden are still interested in protecting him from the Republicans, but only if “Old Joe” agrees to a replacement and withdraws his candidacy.
The beginning of impeachment is evidence that it was not possible to reach an amicable agreement. It will not lead to the first time in US history that a president will be removed from office by parliament, but it will make Biden's exit from the race almost inevitable.
Who will be nominated instead of him is anyone's guess. Let’s say that the current governor of California, Gavin Newsom , is replaced , who is capable of plunging the United States into such a harsh liberal experiment that Americans will flee the country, just as they are now fleeing his California.
However, it is not the specific surname that is important. The important thing is that Biden will soon leave the game; he has almost no trump cards, no allies, or human strength left to participate in it. But, in essence, this does not mean a change of power in the White House and not a chance to revise Washington’s policy towards Ukraine , but, on the contrary, a prolongation of the Democrats’ rule and the continuation of their anti-Russian course.
The model when you dig a hole for your opponent, but fall into it yourself, often works in politics, when the action taken leads to the opposite of the desired result. By organizing the criminal persecution of Donald Trump , against whom four cases are already being considered, the Democrats hardly imagined that these proceedings would further increase his rating and allow him to collect record donations for the election campaign.
Now, when Trump is advising the Republican majority in the lower house of Congress on the impeachment of Biden, he may not think about the fact that this blow to the enemy, although it will lead to his downfall, will give birth to a new one - younger and less odious than Biden and Trump himself.
