I heard Jordan just painted his rock.Congressional Republicans have worked for two years to block investigations of their own members' acts of support for the Jan. 6 attempted coup, but now that they'll have a slim House majority come January they're vowing to investigate the Biden administration, the Biden family, those nasty scientists who kept telling Americans to wear masks even though Republican Biffs find masks super uncomfortable, whatever anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia conspiracy theories Rudy Giuliani still has scribbled on gum wrappers, and take your pick.
But they'll have to wait until they actually have investigative powers in practice instead of just in theory. The subpoena-dodging Rep. Jim Jordan and Rep. James Comer were eager to get the ball rolling with angry record requests to the Biden administration demanding documents they'll want if they succeed in getting the chair positions on the House Judiciary and Oversight committees respectively. Now the Biden White House has responded to those requests by telling both seditionists to (temporarily!) pound sand.
"Congress has not delegated such [oversight] authority to individual members of Congress who are not committee chairmen, and the House has not done so under its current Rules," a White House oversight lawyer wrote to Jordan and Comer in letters obtained by Politico.
Jordan and Comer may be planning to become committee chairmen in the near future, but the House doesn't delegate oversight powers to "aspirational" committee chairs. This isn't a school yearbook, what you plan to be when you grow up doesn't have legally binding powers.
Anywho, all of this is just an idle moment of screw you from the Biden White House during this liminal tween-holiday week, Politico reports neither letter rules out cooperating with those records requests once, you know, the subpoena-ignoring coat-losing seditionist and his peer actually have the authority they currently don't.

Attempted coup BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Yeah right, led by horns and fur guy, the 50 unarmed protesters were going to overthrow the government of the United States. FFS how can you people be so goddam stupid?Congressional Republicans have worked for two years to block investigations of their own members' acts of support for the Jan. 6 attempted coup, but now that they'll have a slim House majority come January they're vowing to investigate the Biden administration, the Biden family, those nasty scientists who kept telling Americans to wear masks even though Republican Biffs find masks super uncomfortable, whatever anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia conspiracy theories Rudy Giuliani still has scribbled on gum wrappers, and take your pick.

About time Democrats get exposed. LOCK them UP. Especially that Panty Waisted Sissy Mary Schiff.

How much time do you have?
So, finally getting around to admitting how corrupt the media is? That's nice. The thing you refuse to acknowledge is that legacy media is no longer the only source for news and information to be disseminated. There are lots of independent media sources online and their number is growing.
When that time comes, we'll be awaiting a massive swooning event to rival Hillary's epic election loss.
You gotta be kidding me. Please..sit down before you fall down.
Well, based on your definition of evidence, I assume you agree that the house majority leader, Schumer, incited the guy who admitted to wanting to kill Cavanaugh....after all, whereas Trump used the word "peacefully" Schumer used the word "whirlwind".You gotta be kidding me. Please..sit down before you fall down.
'"And after this, we're going to walk down there, and I'll be there with you, we're going to walk down ... to the Capitol and we are going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women," Trump told the crowd. "And we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong."
Schumer is Senate majority leader. And he said nothing of the sort.
