I'm sorry, charlie, but what makes you say the Comer hearing wasn't the Gop's "best?" When the entire caucus is a nihilist clown show, what happened yesterday most assuredly is their "best;" they just aren't very good.

It was their “best” in the narrow sense that when their prime directive was to try to justify the conspiracy theories of the former president to anyone other than his most loyal followers who’d repeat the entire Ministry of Truth tryptic if he demanded it, this was as good as they were going to do.
There are, however, ways to criticize Biden’s administration that don’t require going to those depths. The Republicans are just incapable of doing so because making TFG and his cult happy is their first and last mission in politics right now.
The idea appears to be the former president was impeached twice and indicted four times (not to mention the civil suit going on right now on fraud) and Biden should have something like that too...it's only "fair". And besides everyone knows that all politicians are crooks and corrupt. It's just a matter of looking for something wrong.
Most, everything that the GOP does is imagined. They have imagined that their side won 2020. They have imagined that Biden is corrupt and deserves to be impeached. So to maintain this facade, they have to come up with synchronized story telling that may be complete BS and lies, but so long as everybody on their side parrots the script they are fine.
Looks at the complaints quoted in this article about Comer & Jordan. Not that there is no there there in what these fine gentlemen are claiming, just that they are not able to convincingly sell their side's BS & lies. Truth be damned.
They have failed to heed the lesson of every successful drug dealer: Don’t get high on your own supply. Accustomed to discounting any counter-vailing evidence as fake news and rejecting minimal standards of evidence, they have utterly lost the ability to discern truth from falsehood.
This bears repeating. The hysterical cries and bleats that emanate constantly from the House Freedom Caucus have lost all meaning. At this point they are just noise.
My “spidey sense” is detecting a shift in the wind, against the GOP and DJT. The scent of autumn is bringing with it some optimism. And it’s all courtesy of their own increasingly obvious empty and unhinged ranting and malfeasance.
I had already edited in a further line before I read this.
But that said, one of the great things about the bulwark comments section is that generally people don't play these typical snarky games, so please cut it out.
at this precise moment, 103 people seemed to have no difficulty in understanding my point and clearly didn't think it was snark, so i'm going to have to live with the fact that you are the outlier.
I don't see that Charlie thinks that way. Charlie has been very truthful. He just considers possibilities even if they are not probabilities. He is not the MSM, that is why as a Democrat I like The Bulwark. I agree that the GOP does not have game, except for Trump and the MAGAS. That is their only game left for them. I see the GOP as a chess player who when he is about to get a checkmate throws the board on the floor and then declared himself the winner. FASCISM is like that.

No one should have been surprised that an “inquiry” based on a bad case and run by someone who isn’t especially bright went immediately awry.
When there has been no high crime or misdemeanor...
to be fair, as that constitutional savant, gerald ford, once said, "high crimes and misdemeanors are whatever a majority of congress says they are."

Even knowing that Comer is a complete nincompoop, I was astonished. This is a skit in the making for SNL.

They were always just noise. It is just more blatant now.

"Not their best" is rhetorical: Understatement.
I know that! (I treated it as literal to make a real point.)
So your complaint was over-statement?
I had already edited in a further line before I read this.
But that said, one of the great things about the bulwark comments section is that generally people don't play these typical snarky games, so please cut it out.
Yes, agreed. So don't be the one to start it out.
at this precise moment, 103 people seemed to have no difficulty in understanding my point and clearly didn't think it was snark, so i'm going to have to live with the fact that you are the outlier.
Specious reasoning.
Has anyone considered checking them for cognitive issues?
No need to check; it’s assumed.
Remember that jingle about joining the army; "Be all that you can be".I give you the Comer clown car.
Nailed it Howard.
However….As much as it is enjoyable to watch the dismantling of the various GOP idiots, it is scary in the way it won’t matter to the base.
Excellent point, that most likely was the best they could do. Sad!

Just like Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
Who is still dead!
