70% of the evidence in the Hunter Biden case is utterly irrelevant to the charges. It doesn't prove the case. "It's about humiliating . it's about raising the cost to him of going to trial. " Marcy Wheeler @emptywheel on Friday's episode of the @nicolesandler show.

This is the world that the want.

At what point is this facilitator and carnival barker going to do the job he was actually elected to do? is a perpetual who brings shame to our everytime he opens his mouth. His boneheaded antics make a mockery of the nation's premier legislative body. 🤡

The #Georgia state #Senate should not be treated like #Trump’s kangaroo court

We’re witnessing a concerted effort by Trump & #MAGA #Republican #politicians to cast doubt on the legitimate & strong #FultonCounty #ElectionInterference case by attacking the prosecutor.

#Conservatives are typically loath to sign off on any #government spending patch aimed at averting a #shutdown, slamming those stopgaps as further evidence of a broken Washington [as they cause the breakage] stuck on a woeful fiscal trajectory.

But this year is different.

“The CR should be into next year, not into the lame duck,” said Rep (R-OH). “Because you want to give the new president a chance to weigh in on what we spend & where we spend it.”

“We know there’s going to be a CR. I think that CR will go into [2025],” said Rep (R-). “I think you shouldn’t drop it into a lame duck, because frankly nothing good happens for America in a lame duck.”

    Jim Jordan indicated last month that he was happy to move from the impeachment inquiry to the Hur report, understandably. As it turns out, Hur's Biden interview undercuts the Comer-Jordan impeachment effort pretty robustly.

    "After trying and failing to salvage Republicans’ crumbling impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, Ohio Representative Jim Jordan at last, finally, conceded on Friday that Alexander Smirnov’s story might not be totally accurate.

    'I don’t know, maybe the guy did lie,' Jordan said at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday."

    1. How much legal jeopardy is in?

    The classified documents case will make use of a recording which indicates that had a highly sensitive document which he knew was NOT declassified.

    The chain of evidence looks strong and while there is much news media spinning, a court of law is more rigorous environment where focus on fact is primary

    1. Meanwhile over in the , dysfunction is on full display as ’s effort to accede to the implodes

    Given the Party’s dedication to the elimination of government, it’s not a surprise that they can’t implement anything approaching party discipline. The party with each passing month has become profoundly undemocratic
