"How much more evidence do they need?"

"One scintilla" is the standard unit of measurement. If you don't know how much a scintilla is, don't worry: none of the lawyers who use the term know either. But it is apparently a tiny amount.

What makes you think that James Comer thinks.?

"either Comer is lying or he’s simply too country-fried stupid to know how mistaken he is"

He's both.

If only Gomer’s enthusiasm was matched by his intelligence, Biden might be worried.

As a character in one of my plays said once, "Did he get his stupid at a 2-for-1 sale?"

For Comer, nothing compares to the beauty of Hunter Biden’s wang. He’s ruined for life!

REP. JAMES COMER: Well, I could have done without that picture. He’s not the most flattering person I’ve ever seen. But at the end of the day, Ian Sams is a clown

Words are hard. If you are as stupid as Comer is, best to stick with calling people ugly rather than implying they aren’t generous with compliments.

Just one wafer-thin evidence Congressman Creosote.

The GOP are so desperate to shriek about the most tenuous connections between Joe

Biden to other people’s actions, I’m surprised they haven’t found some shady character named Mingo Bïdón who visited Delaware once, owns a laptop, and is a hunter, and claimed there are simply too many coincidences to ignore.

Comer was a joke when he was pegged to lead this “investigation,” and I’m convinced the GOP hedged their bet, knowing that if they couldn’t find a shred of evidence against Joe in 2020, they likely wouldn’t now, and at least Comer would be such a lightweight it wouldn’t hurt the part as a whole. That’s a run-on sentence I think. Anyway, “Hunter made money off his family name and proximity to a powerful father! Is that terrible! Shouldn’t Joe have disowned him?” That isn’t gonna cut it.

"So Jamie Comer pulled out his fiddle and wrote a mountain tune about how Ian Sams be UGLY."

Whar song? I had finally learned to always take Evan literally when talking about dumb stuff republicans do. Now I will be confused again.

He probably was on Newsmax because the last time he was on Fox, the interviewer explicitly called him out for failing to provide any evidence of Joe Biden doing anything wrong, noting that he had been promising exactly that every previous time he's appeared on Fox.

When Fox starts calling you out...

No way Evan himself didn’t have a hard time typing

“Resting just did a shit face” without laughing. That’s good.

That’s what got Comer so upset he went on Newsmax and called Ian Sams ugly. That’s what’s making old Grumpy Rhombus seethe.

I’d like to think he is also taking untold amounts of crap from his own caucus for his idiocy

Some of them don't seem to be coming out of these hearings pleased.

These Republican 'investigators' also have a habit of appearing only on right-wing networks, where they're almost never challenged and nearly everybody who's watching probably already thinks Biden is guilty anyway . . . at this point, it's all performative . . .

Yep. Even Fox News other than their “opinion” hosts are getting tired of it
