Then McCarthy took time to further make a fool of himself, presenting a sad example of what today’s Republicans consider ‘leadership’. In the main, it’s clear that the GOPers have no interest in supporting the Jan6 committee’s function. One could almost get the idea that congressional GOPers fear exposure for their part in that heinous event. Almost

Those who have no interest in supporting it, know precisely what its function is, and know that justice has nothing to do with it.

This is all lingering butt-hurt from the 2016 election when President Trump beat Cankles like a rented mule.  They just can't get over it.

I agree, they'll never get over 2016.

But there are definitely efforts afoot with an eye toward Trump and 2024, as well.

It was probably hilarious to see Raskin getting heckled.  Hope I can catch it somewhere.

Contempt of Congress. Is this the part where the ****wits of the political class finally send their jack-booted flunkies around to collect folks like me for the FEMA camps?
