What an utter waste of resources our House of Representatives is right now. All the activity by the GOP is designed solely to undermine Joe Biden. America is the greatest democracy on Earth?

“I sure hope so?” That’s the answer a sitting congressman gives when asked if the sitting potus accepted bribes? Comer clearly doesn’t understand what he’s doing, or should be doing. If the facts show, over and over, that the potus refused to entangle himself in his son’s business of trading on his name, that’s heartening, and encouraging. Comer should be pleased. But he’s embarrassed, because he isn’t able to hurt the sitting potus. We have bad people and broken systems in place where our best people and functioning government should be.

I am shocked that Comer's cornpone act still shocks me. He is the chief clown in the clown show.

Pathetic. Any respectable Congressman, democrat or republican, would answer “I sure hope NOT,” when asked if this means the sitting POTUS is compromised or accepted bribes. Biden didn’t. But this nepotism shit involving Hunter is all they’ve got. The fact that they hope the sitting POTUS IS compromised tells you all you need to know about the integrity of this “investigation.”

It is doubtful Jimmy can find that part of his anatomy without a guide, he probably missed that fart!

The Republican party has ceased to exist as a legitimate political/legislative/justice-seeking party. I'm not bitching or moaning- what I am doing is wondering what comes next?? They're not working, or co-operating, or creating new ideas-- I don't believe I've heard one of those folks say anything constructive, or even halfway sensible since, ummm... And their "standard-bearer" becomes more criminal by the fucking minute. I'm glad my parents aren't around to see this. (Pretty sure I'm not the only Wonketteer in this position!)

And the answer is... lighting farts. 🤦 You would think they would get a deposition or interview these people before humiliating themselves in public. I guess they like surprise endings that only surprise them.

Dan Goldman represents me in Congress. It doesn't quite alleviate the sting caused by Comer replacing my former rep, Carolyn Maloney, as Chair of Oversight. But it helps.

Joe Biden is obviously compromised if he talks to his son. You would never catch Donald Trump taking calls from either of his sons.

That's mean. The worst thing is they are so out of dad's circle he cannot throw them under the bus with his cronies.

"Archer testified that Joe Biden talked to his son Hunter a bunch after the death of Joe’s son/Hunter’s brother Beau Biden..."

No! A father and son talked more than usual WHEN THEIR SON/BROTHER DIED??? Well, that's it, call the executioner.

JFC, what's WRONG with these people.

They want to be right and what they want to be right about is how the people they hate are actually worth hating.

It's all that matters to them. What they want that is.

my take away from this is that they know they have no policy, no appeal and no mandate with the people, so they're throwing as much shit in the air as they can before their asses are handed to them by the electorate with votes (what? i can be optimistic)

They’re not even pretending to have any sort of policy at this point

"We’re going to be listening to it until the very day they bury Trump under the jail for good."

Sorry, Evan, but we are going to be listening to it after they bury Trump under the jail and later in the ground. His people will be screaming all the lies and conspiracies until they die. And then it will be taken up by the next generation that they infected.

GUARANTEED Don Jr will run for president the next election after his dad kicks. GUARANTEED.

An actively hallucinating president may be the GOP's only hope.

I caught Dan Goldman in a lie, to wit:

[...I have a lot of respect for Congressman Biggs, but that’s just a flat out lie."]

Ain't nobody respect that gasbag!

The movie will be a sequel to The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover, and those who know say the dinner scene will be the White House Correspondents Dinner with Fox News anchors and Xitter Edge Lords.

ETA: Fuck Ted Cruz.

“I sure hope so!”

Maybe somebody should explain to Gomer that he’d look more like an objective truth seeker and less like a partisan hack out railroad somebody if he showed a little less enthusiasm for trying to railroad somebody.
