Kevin McCarthy once flat out admitted the whole purpose of the Benghazi hearings was to bring Hillary’s poll numbers down. They’re not even bothering to hide their complete disinterest serious governing any more. All they care about is hurting people they hate.

If the FBI had put as much energy into surveillance of white domestic terrorists as they did into black people who support other black people that want to be able to go about their lives and not get shot https://www.rollingstone.co...

Haven't you heard? White van men (and builders) are supposedly "going woke", they're even choosing avocado on toast or vegan breakfasts over the Full English (as "reported" in the S*n).

And the blue rinse brigade are slowly dying off.

The problem is that the fucking youngsters don't seem to want to get out there and fucking vote.

It would be irresponsible not to speculate.

Is this the same Merrick Garland many have been saying does nothing, nothing, nothing? Maybe I should check the definition of 'malevolent leadership.'

That's wonderful! My mom's birthday, too. I love the alliteration.

Sounds like something the Irish would say, too: nothing good comes from trying to fart higher than your asshole.

Did you know that if you look into a mirror and say, "Hunter Biden's laptop" three times, you lose your damned mind and think you've made a cogent argument.

Ho-Le-Shit. I truly thought the whole “Hunter Biden capitalized on his family name to earn munny and that’s illeeegol!” was a wingnut fever dream. But hold the phone! A Ukrainian businessman asked Hunter to use his influence! On Joe Biden! OMG. Somebody get Trey Gowdy!

I keep wondering if the Republican leadership is still in the "we can control this and ride it to victory" phase or has moved on to the "we're clinging to the back of a tiger with no way to get off" phase.

I think the medical term for "Jim Jordan's disease" is pithecopritis (pithec which means "ape"; copr which means "shit"; and itis which means "inflamed") or colloquially known as flaming ape shit.

It does sound as though there would be an Irish version. Anyone know?

Sadly, although half-Irish, I know no Gaelic.

"Today, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee published their 1,050-page plan for 2023 should their party take back Congress next week. [...] Actually, it's 50 pages, plus a 17-page bibliography, and 983 pages of reprinted congressional correspondence, including 94 copies of the same five-page letter sent to all US Attorneys. And, yeah, the margins are generous and it's got links to the Joe Rogan show, the Daily Signal, and Breitbart."

Clearly, what they need is an EDITOR.

Or, better yet: a shredder.

As I've said before, despite how terrible it will be for America to hand the keys of the House to Republicans in 2023, there isn't enough popcorn in the world to fulfill my need as I watch Jim Jordan mind-wrestle with actually knowledgable people, like lawyers and doctors. The jokes write themselves. Added bonus: betting on the size of the armpit sweat saddlebags on Jim's oversized shirts as his questioning turns into yet another self-pantsing by someone who isn't afraid of a half-wit bully.
