The GOP has become the asshole party. Every republican in Congress is an asshole. And even assholes can’t stand other assholes. So it’s no wonder that his fellow republicans hate Comer. They all hate each other because every single of them is just as much of a stupid pigfucker as he is.

What do you mean 'has become the asshole party'? I'm 70........show me when, in my lifetime, post Eisenhower, they weren't the biggest fuckstains defiling the halls of legislatures......state and federal.....

This is why I’m looking toward Portugal for retirement.

Ms. O's been helping a Canadian animal rescue get certification in the U. S. The guy running it said, if push comes to shove, he'll take us in.

I bailed to Thailand.....but you be you boo. Portuguese is a hard language to learn though......not Spanish at all.....of course Thai is a complete mystery.....

There have been enough English expats visiting there for so long that there are a surprising number of people who understand English there-- not if you out to the boonies, of course. And while spoken Portuguese was completely incomprehensible to my ear I found I could read signage etc. without much trouble.

Ta, Evan. No one hates, loathes, and detests Comer more than former Congresscritter Carolyn Maloney's constituents. She knew how to run an oversight committee. I like my new Congresscritter, Dan Goldman, just fine; I'm not complaining. But Comer? Drop him off the Washington Monument (with votes!) to see if he bounces.

Republicans insist that it's corruption because they don't understand compassion or empathy.

Starting to think that “Republicans hate everybody including each other” stories might be a bit redundant.

Byron Donalds was smarter than this, but he chose to lie down with dogs anyway--tick-ridden, flea-infested, inbred dogs who've formed the kind of pack that works itself up into a mindless lather just for the sake of fitting in.

Dogs, however, don't then go on Fox and lie, in the human sense, individually and with their tongues. Dogs have more dignity than that.

Here’s the problem with the dangerous era Trumpism ushered into American politics. Conservatives “don’t know how Republicans actually impeach the president” with so little evidence turned up by Comer. WTF. You don’t start with impeachment and then hope to find some basis for it. Impeachment must be a last resort, a final, regrettable decision made by a bipartisan body after a potus has committed a crime or abused power. And “abused power” doesn’t mean “does things we don’t like and has values different than ours.” Earlier last year, Comer, when asked by Fox News if he had enough actual evidence to impeach the potus, replied “I hope so!” I’ll never forget that. It so succinctly sums up the GOP and their shameful agenda. Any serious politician with integrity should answer that question “I sure hope not. America should never have a President guilty of such high crimes as to be impeached. So I hope not, for all of us.” But they simply want a pound of flesh, to exact petty, spiteful revenge for Trump being impeached twice. No wonder Americans have lost faith in Congress.

Very well put. I'll only add that they also want Biden to look as corrupt as PAB so voters that aren't super engaged in politics will throw up their hands and say both of them are the same, corruption-wise. They don't want people to notice that the fact is there zero evidence Biden is corrupt and a metric fuckton of evidence that PAB is and has been his whole miserable life.

"manages to pants himself so frequently..." Gotta hand it to the guy, that takes some flexibility.

They wouldn't be able to get away with this if they didn't have such a vast media ecosystem to ply their lies through. Note: This is one of the myriad reasons it's very hard to have nice and sensible things in America. These venal lying liars make these lying soundbites that are meant to be shared widely on social media, and they are pushed with buckets of cash that come from wealthy rightwingers. This is indeed one of the structural factors Democrats face when the usual crises come up that are utilized as FUD to pick away at our squishy coalition.

Silver lining (because we need light) is that at least 2 RWN buckets are empty, per rantings of 'crying in my pillow' guy, bankruptcy filing by Roodles and word on the street is RNC has been paying a lot for criminal defense attorneys for their presumptive nominee because he always uses someone else's money. Good thing the Biden economy is so strong that people have disposable income for grift.

"Congress determines what is a high crime and misdemeanor.”

Joe Biden used an outdated coupon at the grocery store to get 50 cents off a package of Twinkies.

That should work, eh?

Fuck Ted Cruz.

I appreciate Evan's nuanced explanation of the role Kevin Morris has played. Evan gets it just right. Comer and his kind do not recognize goodness.

I suppose he should have stuck with "Removing a tag from a mattress is an impeachable offense!"

Exactly. Stop trying to prove a serious, actual crime, republicans. Just move the goalposts and make impeachment something each party automatically does to the other when in power. Like an appeal by right, each party gets one Automatic Impeachment per term. Stop fussing around with a basis to impeach. Just overthrow the opposition party potus, silly republicans!

"...he’s recently had a run-in with a “Looney Tunes” anvil..."

I do not normally pick at nits but our younger readers may be confused by this '“Looney Tunes” anvil' usage. So in the interest of clarity I will point out that such an anvil is invariably and always the product of the ACME conglomerate of industrial, military and consumer manufacturing business concerns. The ACME label has always been every hunter's guarantee of hunting products that get the job done right up to the point where the product fails. Such failures have never stopped any hunter from continuing to use the same ACME products over and over again until everyone has to start wondering what the fuck is up with this guy who JUST DON'T GET IT.
